WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. S.-Un-
der the most perfect conditions the
IifSt days racing in the thirtfeth an
nuai regatta of the National Associa-
ton of Amateur Oarsmen was held at
Lake Quinsignamond. Never before
mas such crowd witnessed the cham
p1onships. Each of the races decided
was at mile and half with a turn,
except the single shell, which was
roWed straightaway, one and Onehalf
miles, less sixty yards.
SIX finals were disposed of in the
entire list of twelve events. Heats in
the intermediate singles provided four
trlers for final honors tomorrow, those
qualified being Ernest George, BoS-
ton A. A. A, Harvard boy; H. H. Crow
ley, Wachusett Boat club; w. B. West,
West Philadelphia B. c., and E. f.
Rlvenus, Philadelphia Barge club.
New York and Philadelphia were
tied so far in the matter of f1rsts, with
two each. New York scored in the in
termediate pairs with the Harlems,
and senior doubles with the first
Bohemians.-
Quakers Do Some Winning.
The Quakers uncovered winning
crews in the senior pairs with the
vespers, and in the intermediate Fights,
with the Pennsylvania Barge club. The
otner hrSt places were annexed by the
Ariels of Baltimore in the intermediate
four event and the senior fours by the
Winnfpegs.
Probably the prettiest race of the day
ensued when the intermediate eight
shell race was under way. Six crews
started in the single heat and furnish
ed most picturesque contest. So
closely aligned were the half dozen

was nearly impossible to pick the lead
er.
The pace at this stage caused half
| the sextette to slow UP and enabled
the Pennsylvania barge, Paramount
and Wachusett boys to have the finish
to themselves. The barge crew put
every pound into their oars during the
| final quarter and pulled in grand style
crossed the line a length to the good.
For the second place there was bat
tie royal between the Fairmounts and
Wachusetts, the latter being beaten
on the line by a margin Of six inches
The time was remarkably fast.
Winnipegs Are Triumphant.
The Winnipegs gave their opponents
a taste of their caliber in the senior
tours. Opposed by the famous Vespers
and the Clifton Boat club crew of
! Staten Island, trained by Fred Plaisted,
| lead, which they assumed directly aft
err they had rowed 800 yards. At the
| turn they were nearly two lengths in
| front, and when Strengthened out for
home some three lengths of open water
| separated their boat from the Vespers,
| who We're second.
The crews finished in this order with
| the CIiftons twenty lengths further
| back. New York scullers had a race to
| themselves in the intermediate pair
shells: the Harlems, Nonpareils and
| Lone Stars turned out and finished in
| that order, although judges at the turn
say the mons" were beaten because Of
poor turn around the stake. The Lone
| Stars were beaten off.
| In the second heat of the interme-
date singles Rivenus, of Philadelphia,
| rowed grand race. He was hung at
| his stake and fully twenty-five lengths
behind the leader when he finally got
away for the home dash.
Clark, of Boston, was twenty lengths
| ahead of him at the time, but so game
| ly did Rivenus struggle that he just
nosed Clark out at the line, being
| beaten two lengths by Crowley.
