suburban city won as they pleased Some
two lengths OF open water separated the
stern OF their craft from the bow of
Flushing High Schools boat. while Ho-
boken was in third position. The High
School of Commerce. which won the first
scholastic regatta seven years ago. was
ortrowed from the start and finished
fourth, with Bayonne fifth and BRYANT
lest. The time was 6:4s 1-5
Seldom has better rowing been seen on
the Harlem than was shown by the New
Rochelle crew. 1t went out from the
start, rowing with a long, clean. swinging
sti oke that drove the tricky gig through
the water at great speed and kept it on
oven keel The boys swung up and down
with the frictionless rhythm of a dynamo,
following the stroke set by d. A. Smith,
who rowed with rare Judgment.
Commerce and Bayonne were first to hang

that although the opposing crews were
rowing from SO to IS TO the minute. they
could not keep the pace.
Coming down 10 the last quarter OF
mile Flushing made great squirt and
crept up on the leaders. The LonS

leaders, but lacked the style and water

More than 5000 spectators lined along
the Speedway shore to see the schoolboys
row. Many of these were schoolboys.
