tests

sport resulted on the Schuylkill river
this afternoon at the sixth annual re-
gatta Of the American Rowing associa-
Henly, because of the similarity as
compared with the famous English re-
gatta.
The entry list was the largest since
the association was organized and in
cluded the pick of the college crews
of the east. The weather was cloudy
and damp and the river, although there
was swift running current, because
of yesterdays heavy rain, was COM
paratively smooth.
The course Is one mic and $50 yards
straight away. A double referee sys-
tenn was used and as soon as one
race was finished another was started.
The races began at $3.50 p. m. and were
rowed at intervals of twenty minutes
until $40 p. m.
The little wind that blew was from
the north, right at the crews backs
The water was smooth and made new
records likely In several of the events
A crowd of nearly 10000 lined the banks
at the finishing point.
