almost on even terms 1t can be seen that
ne rowed an exceptionally good race This
event was won by Alex Warner Of the
springfield Mass9 Boat Club, a man almost
good enough for the seniors.
Phladelphta's crews failed totally to coma
UP to expectations. Two firsts We're all
shat the representatives Of the SchuyIkiu
navy could get out Of the two days racing.
Vns Vndtne Rowing Club OF this city scored
an exceptionally fine triumph over the Ar
gonaut Rowing Club In the intermediate
double scullS But the browning glory of
FhaIadelphia's work was the sensational de-
teat OF New York In the intercIty octopede
race. This event was the last on the pro-
gram and the thousands waited patiently
Tor the referee to start the two crews of
star soullers, and when the Quakers crossed
the finish length in advance of the New
Workers there were deafenlng cheers.
Quakers Didn't Do Much.
But for the most part Philadelphta failed
to make good. 1t was thought that Zane
and Meyers Of the Bachelors had the se-
nior double SOULS at their mercy, but they
had not reckoned on the Don Rowing Club
pair from Toronto or the Nassaus OF New
York. The best the crack Bachelors could
do was to row dead heat with the West
Philadelphia Club pair. Then in the inter-
mediate fours the Crescent b. G. OF this
city was picked a certain winner, but
after steering such a bad course that It
compelled the Arundels of Baltimore to
stop rowing, giving the race to the Nonpa-
reils, was disqualified. This race was re-
started from the point where the foul oc-

finish, and in splendid brush the Arundels

Smith Of the Vespers would win the inter-
mediate singles, but he failed to get better

New York did better than any crews but
the Canadians. The New Workers. scored
three tirsts and many seconds and thirds.

wanhaka B. c. of Brooklyn, the associa-

The intercity ootuple crew race between
the finest scullers that could be collected
from Philadelphia and New York pro-
duced struggle that will live long in the
annals of the N. A. A. o. regattas. There
has long been an intense rivalry between
the oarsmen of the two cities and such q
race as this is always welcomed as a test
of strength. This was the second occa-
sion on which the two cities have met in
such race. At the nationals in Baltimore
two years ago there was such race
and the New Workers won by the narrow
margin Of about two yards. but only be-
cause the Philadelphians had steered a
poor course. On this account the Quakers
wanted revenge
Octuple to Dreamville.
Under the coaching Of Jim Dempsey the.
quaker eight made rapid progress during
he last two weeks and 1t was favorite for
he race. This event was. the last on the
program The two crews got away to
good start and passed under the trolley
bridge at one-third the distance on prac.
cally even terms. Then the Phlladel-
)hians began to show their superior
strength, and foot by foot drew away from
he New Workers until at the head OF tho
sland they were leading by half length,
Here the New Workers. made their effort
md held the Philadelphians for a short
ime. But when Zane hit up the stroke tho
quaker boat shot to the front and increased
