Of the Harlem Rowing Clubs regatta Of

Three crews we're mustered for the event and
the contest, which was over a half mile course,
was worthy of an open regatta. Crew 3
went away with the lead and the stroke man,

for the other members OF the crew. who we're
unable to keep time. and the result was that
the end Of the oar struck him in the stomach

2, stroked by j. Haggerty, shot ahead. and

3, which despite the accident came strong
at the finish. Crew l was only half a
length behind. The winning crew was COM
