In the final event on the program,
tho senior gig, the PotomacS, with
me same men sitting in the boat as
sat in the quad, with the, exception
that Bailey took Thralrs place in the
bow, made a great squirt in the last
700 yards, but could not reach the
Arundels, who had opened up too
much of a lead in the first half of the
event. At that the Potomacs nosnd
out the Virginia Boat Club of Rich
! mond by inches in driving finish.
Both were gaining fast on the Arun-
de.S near the end.
Clarence Hecox, former Potomac
coach, brought up two winning
crews from Richmond, his junior
eight finishing in front by A big mar
gin, with Potomacs second, and his
intermediate gig beating the old Do
minion Boat Club, in which the two
entries were all that took the water

one of the greatest rowing coach es
in the country for developing green
oarsmen, and his junior eight yes

Big Event Is Cancelled.
It was unfortunate that there were
not entries from some of the other clubs
so that the feature event OF the day,
that for senior eight-oared shells, could
have been held. The Virginia Boat Club
had an entry, but no other clubs had d
crew to put on the water. The event
was carded in the program handed to
spectators but was scratched in that
held by the clerk of the course.
One of the largest crowds that have
watched a water event around Washing
ton in years filled the docks, houSetopS,
boats and other vantage points from
which they might view the competitions.
The events were well handled, although
a triffe slow to get started at times.
Old Dominion Boat Club may take
considerable pride in the way in which
il handled the events, and also has
good many persons under Obligations TO
1t for the fine time they had at the ban
uuet for visiting oarsmen and at the
social festivities at the boathouse last
night.
