Glorious weather and srooth water prevailed
yesterday and gladiened the hearts OF 1900
rowing enthusiasts assembled IN the vicinity o.
Washington Bridge TO watch the crack oarsrner
Of the country compete in fnal heats fol
national honors and the stlll greater glory
Of upholding the Stars and Stripes a.
the International Resstta AZ Paris. For ths
first time during the regatta Washington
Bridge was appre reoiated a. vantage point. Al
least a thousand viewed the struggles OF the
contss ting crews from that lofty structure
while the Speedway path was lined for haf
mile six or seven deep. The shady heights OF
the south side Of the river and the sloping banks
on the north held thousands more who reveileo
In the free show while the paying spectators ir
the boxes and on tho soows we're present In
much greater force than on the preliminary
days.
The ohei interest centred In the four-oared
and eight-oared races TO decide tho American
representative at Paris. In these the au-con-
ousring vespers Of Philadelphia came out with
flying colors. After the Philadelphia clubs
victory In the senior eight-oared race over the
ons-and- a-haH mile national course on Thurs
day, Il vas expected that the honors over the
Paris" course OF little over mile would rest
With them, Tho Millstreams OF Boston went home
without giving the vespers another battle. but
tho Knickerboo and Bohemian crews came
70 the scratch only TO be beaten more de-
cdnvsly than In the longer race.
In the four-oared event the Vespers were

A feature OF the sport YESTERDAY was the
the nnal heat OF the in esmedlate fours As
soon a. the crews arrived parallel with the
trottna stretch a cavalcads OF Nassau % Io9ters tiers
to the wesrers Of the blue and white. Some ot
them had megsphones. but a, made the cry o.
lapssd and the local crew won one OF the hard
est races ever rowed
Much disappointmert was felt when Ten Eyck
did not appear to defend his title TO the sculIins
championship against Romohr. The unsatis-
factory Paris race whetted the appetites OF the
spectators for another, struggle between the two
cracks Ten Eyck had mora than three hours
rest between the four-oared race and the time
for the championship singles and the general
Interpretation put on bis absence was that he
feared his laurels would be dlmmed In second
encounter with the Harlem crack,
There wss no race in the senior doubles or
Paris doubles, as no crew cared TO oppose the
Wachusett pair. Ten Eyok and Lewis, who will
therefore be sent abroad with the winners OF
the four and eight-oared events:
The Greer brothers Of the Jeffries Point r. A.
were well in the other sCuling races. Frank b.
defeated the Canadian, Marsh, and other clever
oarsmen In the association championship, and
Fred J, took second place In the lntermedlats
event. The summaries
