 half dozen strokes the Vespers showed in front, the Wachusetts and Institutes being about even. For the first minutes the Yes pers rowed 8 strokes, the Wachusetts 40 and the Institutes 42.
 At the quarter post the Institutes drew almost level with the Vespers, the Wachu- setts being half length behind. Again the Vespers drew away, and at the half were length ahead of the Institutes, the Wachusetts being about the same distance behind. Here Ten Eyeck hit the stroke up to 42 and for a while crawled up on the leaders, but Daly, at No. 3, caught crab and they fell to the rear again. Passing
 the mile post the Vespers were two lengths ahead, but the Wachusetts had woria,d into second place, which they kept to the finish. The Vespers won by three lengths The Wachusetts finished length
 and half ahead of the Institutes. The Asso,t tion singles In the association singles there were five starters: Marsh, Toronto; Titus, New Or leans; Greer, Boston; Kubic, Springfield, and Bond, Philadelphia. Titus caught the water first and led to the quarter, when Bond, coming along with a steady stroke, took the lead, which he maintained to the half-mle post. Greer then spurted, and at the three-quarters was in front. From there to the finish the Boston man was never headed and won by three lengths from Marsh, who came along with rush. Titus was third, two lengths behind Marsh; Kubic, fourth, and Bond brought up the rear.
 Three ambitious young scullers, F. Greer of Boston, F. DeMurello of New Orleans and J. B. Nial of Troy, turned out for the intermediate singles. Greer led for the first quarter, with De Murello second and Nial close up At the half-mile mark Greer
 was still leading, but De FMurello spurted and assumed the lead.
 Immediately he opened gap between | himself and the Bostonian, and at the mile led by two lengths. quarter of a mile l from the finish Nial crawled upon Greer, but the Boston man was too strong De- Mouretlli showed up toward the finish line, but crossed two lengths ahead of Greer and Nial was third, half length behind Greer.
 Four crews, the Crescent of Philadelphia, | Uinons and Nonpariel of New York and | Laureate of Troy, faced the starter for l the intermediate scull event. The Crescent crew jumped away at the lead, but at the quarter the Laureates pulled up level and l the crews raced bow and bow for 300 yards. | Just before passing the half mile the Cres- cents drew away and were never challenged l to the finish, crossing the line four lengths ahead of the Unions. The Laureates were | close third and the Nonpariels finished last, but in good style.
 A BIoodIess Victory

 by the Detroits when the latter's stroke, l Warman Baldwin, keeled over and tainted. | The crew stopped rowing and the Nassaus l struggled on to the finish. The crew of l the Harlem Rowing Club did not start. In the championship singles Ten Eyeck l did not go to the scratch, and Rumohr | was given row over. Ten Eyeck gave no reason for withdrawing, but simply | sent word that he did not feel inclined to l row.
 | Excitement was at boiling pitch when l the Vespers, Knickerbockers and Bohemi- | ans appeared for the Paris eight. The Be- | hemians were first to catch the water and 1 ar.5c xxyhan a nj
