PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Under
conditions that could not be improved
upon the first days racing of the TWEEN
ty-ninth annual regatta of the National
Association Of Amateur Oarsmen was
held on the SchulykilI river this afternoon
and the initial days sport was in every
way a success. Fine weather, a smooth
course and probably the largest crowd
that has ever witnessed the first days
event of a national regatta here were
the inspiring causes of good days rae
ing. All the crews seemed to be in fine
condition and several of the events were
not won until the flag fell. Winnipeg
carried off the honors, winning two
events, while St Louis, Worcester, To-
ronto, Philadelphia, Detroit and New
York each won one race. The race of
the day was that between Detroit and
Vesper, of Philadelphia, in the senior
paired car event. in which the latter won
by a nose, and the surprise of the after
noon was the defeat of the Vesper senior
four, composed of members of the world S
champion crew, by the st. Louis four.
Another fine contest was the final in the
intermediate eighths, which was captured
by the husky crew from Winnipeg Ten
Eyck and Lewis had no trouble In the
senior doubles.
All of today's races were a mile and a
half with a turn with the exception Of
the eights which were rowed straight
away for the same distance. In the
heats the first two qualified.
The final Fights were rowed in the
cool of the evening The start was
beautiful. Winnipeg, Malta and Fair
mont kept together for a quarter of a
mile, with New York A C. trailing along
in fourth position. Malta here spurted
and was followed by the Fairmonts
inc a
after each of the Philadelphia crews had
had the lead for short distance, Win

again caught, although they had to row
their best to the finish. Summaries:
