The Dauntless Club boathouse toppled
into the Harlem River yesterday and did
considerable damage to various gigs. shells
and other craft This is the last one Of
the large number OF rowing clubs which
have been moving above the Central Bridge.
The damage is estimated at several hun
dred dollars. There was no one in the
building at the time Of the accident.
Arrangements had been completed TO
move the boathouse some time to-day. The
contractor had propped the house up. and
II is believed that the food tide loosened a
number of the spiles that held II up. Sew
eral persons informed a patroman, who,
with their assistance. secured the house
with heavy rope to prevent it from floating
away. f. II. Andrews, living at No. $50
ST. Nicholas avenue, is the president of the
club.
The members Of the Dauntless club have
played a conspicuous part in the various
regattas held on the Harlem River within

few weeks ago to move because the condi-
tions for rowing on the river along the
Speedway were better.
