| day afternoon. The Wanetah crew won
only after a thrilling battle all the va!
with the sturdy sweep swingers OF the
Ravenswood Boat Club, who roWed Il
gritty race throughout, but VINO Just
| lacked the snap that sent the Maroon ana
| White over the line victorious. The Cres-
! cent Athletic Club crew was third. and
the Seawanhaka Boat Club dismal
fourth. The Brooklyn Boat Club ran
aground on the mud flats some distance
bv the half mile post and did not finish
The race was married by deliberate
attempt TO save time and have the race
postponed By the Seawanhaka BOAT
Club crew, which rowed up TO the line
with a broken outrigger. II developed
after the regatta that the SeaWanhaka
crew snapped the rigger In practice on
| Friday afternoon, and either didn't nave
time or didn't try TO repair IT, After dali
lying around at the start for more than
an hour. the men finally swung into posi-
| ton and went away. Scarcely had the
| crews roWed half dozen strokes when
| the riggers snapped short and the boats
were called back. II was decided TO give
the Seawanhaka crew time TO secure a
lew boat. and after further delay Of some
two hours the race was finally rowed

water in perfect time, their powerful
stroke tearing great holes In the water ar'
they spurted along. Close beside them
rowed the field. fighting every inch of the
way. but the Flushing crew were trained
| TO the minute, and In the last quarter OF
a mile their condition told. for they
! crossed the line apparently none the
I worse for their strenuous Journey.
The Wanetsh crew also won the Rogers
| cup, for four-oared gigs. from crews
| representing the Naruna, Nonparei. Cres-
cent, Staten Island and Ariel Boat Clubs

| the Long Island regatta for the last sew
era years occurred. The first race was
scheduled to start at go o'clock. but 1t
was not until 4:l0 that the first crew was
sent off to an Indifferent start. Several
! officials were delayed. so they said. and
| the crews and spectators waited with inn
patience.
! The oarsmen from the Harlem River
I won their share OF honors. John J.
Hughes, the intermediate sculler OF the
| Harlem Rowing Club rowed 10 victory
over a fast field in the intermediate class,
winning by open water. Hughes. rowlns
with the ease and skill of q Butler OF
Shephcard. easily passed his laoorinS
rivals. Baum and Lllienthal. the crack
, intermediates of the Lone Star Boat Club,
we're returned victors In the intermediate
