Herbert Hall. The first crew of cadets
out of three races rowed. won two-Yale
and Georgetown. and did in the third
with the champions what no other crew
in the United States could do. finish with
the Pennsylvanians even, less second.
The race yesterday was two miles
straight away, over the outer course from
Greenberry's Point Light to Cemetery
Bluff. The water was like glass, but the
tide was ebb and against the shells. Ii
was few minutes past six when Lieut..
Eberle, the referee. said Col and both
crews struck the water, the Navy making
the FIRST swish. The shells started at the
extraordinary speed OF forty to the min
ute-Georgetown splashing water. but the
Navy moving in fine form and without
nervousness. The Navy took the lead
at once, and never let it go.
AT the halt-mile buoy. the Nays
stroke was thirty eight and Georgetown
forty, with the Navy half length ahead.
Here the Georgetown crew got move
on themselves and began to overhaul the
Cadets in anything but an encouraging
way to the cadets hackers. The Var
sity men were pulling very quick and
energetic stroke at this point, while the
Navy had the long reach and full return
that marks the Pennsylvania crew. AT
the mile buoy, halt the race, the Navy
began TO show open water between it
and its rivals, and the sailors made it
telling by putting in squirt Of forty to
the minute. while the Georgetown shell
forged along at thirty-six.
Then the Varsity crew raised il to
thirty seven, with the Navy down again
to thirty eight. Georgetown was doing
good work as it neared the Puritan-a
half mile from the finish The Navy
was at its business with thirty mine strokes
and Georgetown thirty eight. with the
sailors showing a vide wake of open
water between them and the Varsity
crew. Now the Navy took its squirt and
began in an even, unruffl ID stroke, to
run il up TO forty to the minute. George
town had struck its oar faster, and was
speeding along at thirty eight, its sturdy
stroke, and Captain Kearns winning
loud praises from the official boat for the
magnificent example he was setting his
crew. but every splash of the paddles
widened the breach between the Cadets
and the viS,ors, and in a fine spuit TO
the end, the Cadet crew made the finish,
amid maelstrom of whistles from elated
launches and torpedo boats, in 1885 rs.
FIVE lengths. three hundred fcet-l rs
ahead OF Georgetown.
Though beaten, the University crew
had rowed manly stroke from start to
finish. Their lime was Io454.5. The
