The Long Island Rowing Association held
Its twenty-frst annual regatta on Flushing
Bay yesterday and q programme Of eight
events made an afternoons capital sport,
On account Of the rough water caused by q
strong east wind the start Of the affair had
to be postponed for about an hour and a hall,
As the day wore on, however, the oond Itions
improved and a lot of time was made up on
the schedule. The course was a mile long
from the head OF College Point to the extre una
end of the dyke.
Five sonllers started In the Junior singles
and after they got going the water was 30
rough that the shells travelled under water
most of the time. For a couple of hundred
yards or 80 the quintet pulled even enough,
when AcGee Of the Ravensw Gods, who had
the inside course and the smoothest water,
TOOK the lead. Mann of the New York A. G,
started not after the Ravenswood man but
could never overhaul him and Mcuee, scull-
ing strong at the finish. won by about four
lengths. Nal OF the Union B.. q. was a close
third. Thompson Of the Nassau B.. C. stopped
rowing and Cassidy of the Brooklyn X G.
padded In at the rear. For the Junior doubles
the rollers fattened out a little and Ave crews

anokes and Crescents-rowed blade for blade
for about a quarter. Soon afterward tho
Wyanokes struck out and taking the lead
were never headed to the finish. winning with
q lot TO spare. The Ores cent X. G. tof New
York was second. A bit of a mixup occurred
between the Ra venswoods and the Seawan-
hakas. the former running into the latter
and Referee Pilkington finally placed the
Seawanhakas In third position. In the inter-
mad in 70 fnnr uin a n tha kTa,, D-.l n a, s,,-
crew gave a fine exhibition OF rowing for after
the gun cracked they sailed to the front and
all doubt as to the winner was settled. New
Rochelle won with the grea test ease and after
a Rood tnssle the Metropolitans secured the
place from the Sheepshead Bay r. C. and the
institute b. C. OF New ark.
The Junior four shell race furnished con-
siderable excitement and also stirred UP q
lot of local craftsmanship and club feeling,
Only two crews tried for the honors, the Cres-
cent A. G.. and the Ravenswood b. e., and for
about a quarter OF a mile or 80 the boats
travelled on even terms, ana then the Cres-
cents began to slip away gradually. They
were leading by four lengths near the finish
when police boat No, 3 Of the harbor squad ran
entire bow. The Crescents finished alone.
