Collegiate Fights.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May 23.-New

honors at the seventh annual regatta of
the American Rowing association here this
afternoon. OF the twelve events which
made up the program, the New York en-
tries won seven, Philadelphia two, Har-
yard one. Connell one. and Baltimore one.
A steady rain fell due principally to the
strong north wind at the backs Of the
oarsmen and the swift current, new rec

first singles, second singles, first double
sculls, first paired Dared shells and the
junior collegiate Fights.

crews in this race, Cornell. Harvard and

the favorites and led for the first quarter

Harvard made some amends for its de-
feat in the Junior college race by winning
from the Malta Boat club, of this city, in
the race for first Fights. The crimson
crew with the substitution of Severance

broke the record. Oddly enough the younger
Miller made better time than his elder
brother, though the latter had no real COM

The closest struggle of the day was that
furnished by the Harlem Rowing club and
the New York Athletic club. in the first
double scull. The Harlem double had a
