by the committee, the Messrs. E. H.
Neumeyer, for the Hnuter Company, and
]. Mayhem, for the Annheuser Company,
donated medals yesterday morning.
All the prizes and trophies were dis
tributed at the Potomac boat house last
night by President Doyle.
The program began with the junior
eights. in which the Potomacs started
their winning streak, and they certainly
put out clever crew, and one which
will be heard from next year in inter-
mediate events. 1t left waves of spurts
over the course, and Chase, the clever
stroke, was never found wanting when
called on by Coxswain Young. The
crew beat Georgetown two lengths.
which was three lengths ahead of Penn
sylvania Barge Club. Georgetown
steered badly, and waited too long to
get swinging spurt.
Brilliant Event.
One of the most brilliantly won, and
surely the most hotly contested event
Of the day, was the intermediate eight
cared race. in which the Vespers and
Fairmounts, both of Philadelphia, and
Potomacs. of this city. rowed. 1t was
won by the vespers by about three feet
from the Potomacs, who led the Fair
mounts by q full length. The Fair
mounts led at the start, but Vespers
and Potomacs soon evened up matters,
and then shook off the Fairys, and then
made ii a race between themselves. II
was one of the grandest exhibitions of
rowing seen here in many years. -Four
of the Potomacs had rowed in the junior
eight and won it. and Chase. the plucky.
clever little stroke, was in both races,
and if ever a man pulled a hard, clean,
telling sweep, the Potomacs, stroke
man did yesterday. The defeat in the
intermediate was no disgrace. They
were beaten by yard. but they in turn
routed the Fairmounts, who had boasted
as to how many lengths they would be
over their victors.
Another spectacular event was that
presented by the senior eight, in which
the Dauntless, of New York. beat the
Vespers. who had won the intermedi-
ates. The Fairmounts had entered their
intermediate crews in both races. but
the latter had about done them up, and
so they did not start In the last, OF
senior event. The Dauntless and YES
pers rowed almost stroke for stroke
from start to finish. the former finally
winning by a length.
Ariels' Good Work.
The Ariels. of Baltimore. famous for
sending out fast junior fours, were on
hand with another. yesterday, and, as
Mason Cup permanently, beating Mas
sau four lengths. The Analostan came
in third. and considering the short time
it has been in training, it rowed good
race. Burke steering fast course
West Philadelphia and Georgetown
University made rather poor showing
in this event. The Ariels also started
their crew in the gig race, but an
eighth of a mile from the start an oar
lock was sprung and the boat was out
of the race
For good steering and clean water
manship inboard and out. the race for
senior fours was the best of the day for
crews without coxswains. The Pennsyl-
vania Barge Club and the university
barge crew finished tapping after hard
struggle from pistol to flag. 1t was
reckoned that the Jeffries Point crew,
from Boston. would be factor. but after
the first half mile the boat was never
dangerous. Pennsylvania made pretty.

came away, while the others were tied
up getting around. and from there home
the winners were never quite clear of
the varsity.
Britt's Victory Popular.
In the singles that for juniors, fur
