WINNIPEG IS WINNER
CAPTURES SENIOR FoURs IN THE
AMATEUR, oARsMEN's REGATTA
First Days ARacins Marked by condi-
tons Nothing Short of Perfection
Six Finals Disposed of, the Winning
Crews Being Widely Distributed.

WORCESTER, Mass, Aug. 8.-Un-
der the most perfect conditions the
1irst days racing in the thirtieth an
nual regatta of the National Associa-
tlon or Amateur Oarsmen was held at
Lake Quinsignamond. Never before
has such a crowd witnessed the cham
plonships. Each of the races decided
was at mile and a half with a turn,
except the single shell, which was
roWed straightaway, one and one-half
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; 81: II. Crow
ley, WachuSett Boat club; w. B. West,
West Philadelphia B. c., and E. F.
Rivenus, Philadelphia Barge club.
New York and Philadelphia were
tied so far in the matter of firsts, 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
other first places were annexed by the
Ariels of Baltimore in the intermediate
| four event and the senior fourS by the
| Winnipegs.
| 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
boats at the half way mark that it
was nearly impossible TO pick the lead
| er.
The pace at this stage caused half
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 length to the good.
For the second place there was a bat
! tie royal between the Fairnounts and
! Wachusetts, the latter being beaten
on the line by a margin of six inches.
| The time was remarkably fast.
Winnipees 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,
| they lost little time in making for the
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 were second.
| The crews finished in this order, with
| the Cliftons twenty lengths further
| back. New York scullers had race to
themselves in the intermediate pair
shells; the Harlems, NonpareilS and
| a6
| 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,
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.
