the event, and this is what he told the public
the next day:
THE Potomac River regatta yesterday after
noon was a complete success. All the condi-
tiOns were favorable, and the races were we'll
contested The races were all mile @and a
half straight away from a point above Long
bridge to point above the AnaloStan boat
house. The time made was only fair, as both
wind and tide were unfavorabie.
The first race, senior fours, for the cham
pionShlp Of the river and Star and Post cups,
was contested by the Columbias (Nute Kintner.
Kondrup and Snyder and Washingtons
(Smittson, Baker. Ryan and. Sweeny). The
Potomac lightweights did not put in an
appearance The two crews started on nearly
even terms, the Washingtons rowing as strokes
to the minute and the Columbus 40. The
former soon dropped to 40 and the latter to 80.
The Coumbias pulled in magnificent form, with
the long swinging stroke that Ward has taught
them. The WaShingtons put immense power
into their stroke, but could not leave their
rivals, who rowed well within themselves The
Columbus Rugged the Virginia shore, and at
the mile had slight advantage. At the finish
the Washingtons made desperate squirt, but
the Columbus let out a link and crossed the
line winners by two lengths in 9.32; Washing
tons 9:37."
THE next race at this regatta was for Junior
crews, and won by the Analostans the
dent. OF this race, The Star gives the follow
ing account:
In the Junior four for the Mason cup the
starters were: AnaloStans-Richard Soners,
bow; j. j. McCloskey, 2; F. M. Hnlyer, 3:

Elmore, g. j. T. Sprague, stroke Ceumbias-
r. C. Balantyne, bow; j. C. Pedrick, ?; New
ton Simmons, 3; G.. P. Green. stroke
THE POtOmacS got off first, pulling 40:
Ariels second, at SO; Analostans third at 40.
The Columbus stroke slipped his seat after the
first few strokes and lost time in starting
again At the half the Potomacs were leading
the AnaIostans and Ariels ON even terms At
three-quarters the Analostans rowing we'll had
passed the Ariels, who were in bad shape and
began crawling up on the Potomacs On the
last half mile the Potomacs made a desperate
squirt to keep their lead but could not keep their
boat straight. The Analostans, in good form,
and keeping a good course, crossed the line
winner in 10:40. The Columbus and Ariels
fought for third place but the former colIided
with a pleasure boat
The sirgle-scull race, which followed was
contested by Kearney of the Potomacs and
latter was the favorite, yet his strenuous work
in the first race so told ON him that Kearney
defeated him without serious difficulty, though
Smithson rowed pluckily to the end.
The gig race which followed showed Column
bias superiority and good training. The clubs
and crews taking part were: Pennsylvania,

The Star tells us: The Columbus and
Unions dashed off at terrific rate, soon leav-
ing the Pennsylvanans, who had been conf

side by side over nearly the whole course the

the Columbia crew for racing two such races
