One of the best canoe regattas ever
| held in Washington was run off yester-
day afternoon under the auspices of the
| Washington Canoe Club over its reg
ular quarter-mile course, which finishes
in front of the boathouse and it could
either in number or class of entries. An
--o mention~ ,ndreds that viewed
the various races from. the Aqueduct
bridge
Despite the fact that the Washington
clubs representatives captured the point
| trophy, they were not a little disappoint-
ed in not winning the club-four event
the feature race of the day-the Potomac
Boat Club capturing honors in this event
| rather handily. The boats got off well,
and were well punched in the early
stages of the race, but at the halfway
mark the Potomac four padded away to
a slight lead. which it was able to main
tain until the end. These men, w. H.
Thrall, e. NJ. 3. Nash, II. p Roberts
and H. NJ Rivero, looked to be in better
condition and worked well together and
deserved to win.
Pardoe Wins Singles.
c. III. Pardoe OF the home club sprung
quite a surprise when he came out ahead
in the championship singles at a quarter
of mile, as he forged to the front at
the very start and managed to stave off
all challengers and to cross the line in
the van, II. NJ. RiverO, Potomac Boat
Club; F. W. Heine, High Island Canoe
Club, and F. T. Chamberlain, Potomac
Boat Club. finishing in that order close
behind him. Heine was disqualified for
third place for leaving the course, and
this gave Chamberlain his position.
The championship doubles also proved
to be a very close and exciting race, the
Potomac Boat Club landing top honors in
this also. with J. l. Vandergrift and +. 7.
Chamberlain. this pair just managing
to nose out James w. Birch and j. A
Collier Washington Canoe Club. Purdy
and Krauskopf of the riverside Canoe
Club took third.
The special upset race between Regi-
maid Rutherford and II. NJ. RiverO prov
ed to be exceptionally interesting. Ruth
erford defeated the Potomac oarsman
Decoration day, and this race was a re-
suit of a challenge from Rivero. who
was anxious to redeem himself. The
race was the closest kind of an affair,
the men being just about even when the
gun signing them to turn their canoes
over was fired, and both seemed to go
over and man their boats again at about
the same time. but Rutherford was able
to get a better start and he pulled away
a slight winner.
The real features of the day In point Of
interest were the novelty events, the tilt
liz contest and the hurry-scurry race. In
the formep one man propelS the canoe
while the other stands up in the bow
with long lance. the object being to
push the opponent overheard or back IN
his boat This caused no end of excite
ment. r. Rutherford and !. Zirpel. Wash
