—The Gramercy Boat. Club held their fifth annual re- 

 gatta on the Harlem River on September 23d. The day 

 was beautiful and the water as smooth as could be desired, 

 The first race was a single scull, distance three miles 

 straightaway, for the championship of the club, and the 

 silver belt held bv George Pierce. There were ten entries, 

 and eight started", as follows:— II. R. Mills, F. Winnie, 0. 

 F. Nactliing, E. B. Webb, George H. Pierce, David Roach, 

 E. Wiesner, and E. J. Atkinson. Mt. Peverelly started the 

 men tvenlv. Roach was the first to get away, fol- 

 lowed by Mills; Winnie and Atkinson withdrew. Roach 

 led all the W&y and finally won the belt in twenty 

 minutes and thirty seconds. Nacthinsr second and Mills 

 third. The next race was the Senior Sculler's race 

 one mile straightaway, the starters were:— E. J. At- 

 kinson, R. J. Seeberg, J C. Peutz, E. B. Welch, F. 

 Winnie, H. Mills, and It. W. Zoller. Mills got away with 

 a lead, but was soon overhauled by Winnie, Welch and 

 Atkinson. At the half-mile Atkinson passed to the front, 

 and after a spirited contest with Winnie, was declared the 

 winner bv half a length, in 0:10. Winnie's time was 6:12*. 

 Welch came in third*: Zoller fourth, and Seeberg last. The 

 fourth event was the four-oared shell race, distance two

No. 1. Charles Karwieker, bow; M. L. Sutton, \V. H. 

 Smith, R. E. Wiesner, stroke.

 II. It. Mills, stroke. 



No. 3. David Roach, bow; George Krapp, F. Winnie, 

 C. P. Nacthing, stroke. 



The Mills crew led for the first quarter of a mile and 

 I lien a collision took place with the Weisner crew. The 

 Naethiog8 now led, and before the other boats could be 

 separated, had Saineq SUOh a decided advantage, that with all 

 the spurting on the part of the other crews the Naethings 

 won easily in 12 ; :t-«. Mills crew second. It was now get- 

 ting a little dark, so the double sculi race had to be omitted 

 and the day's sport was concluded with an eight-oared 

 barge raee. * The following are the names of the crews:— 



Barge Navtitm.—H. F. Kennedy, D. Pent?,, Frank Hop- 

 per, J. Baird, H. Mills, C. H. Wilcox, H. Brown, II. It. 

 Mills, stroke; C. Hudson, coxswain, 



Ataltintta. — David Roach, bow; Georce Krapp, A. 

 SpiUs'a, M. h. Sutton, R. AV. Zoller, W. H. Smith, K. E. 

 Wiesner, Charles Ear wicker, stroke; F. Winnie, coxswain. 



They started very evenly and kept abreast of each other 

 to the 'first mile, and on crossing the score the barges un- 

 fortunately collided. Commodore Brady, who acted as 

 referee, decided that the lace should be rowed on another 

 day. 



SCHUYLKILL NAVY REGATTA. 



1'im.ADEi.i'ijiA, September 88, 187J. 

 .Editor Forest ani> Stkbam: — 



The fall regatta of the Schuylkill Navy was held on Saturday utith in- 

 stant, aud everything seemed to combine to make it a perfect success. 

 The arrangements cf the Committee were perfect, the races for the most 

 part exciting, the wutor smooth and the weather fine. The river was 

 alive with boats, and the hanks were well lined with spectator.-. The tug 

 Frnley was filled With guests, members and reporters, while the empires 

 boat, the Diamond, had, as should always bo the case, only the officers of 

 (he rceatta and of the Navy. 



The races, which were for the champion flags of each class and special 

 flags to commemorate each victory, were two miles with one tarn, except 

 rb.- f,.ur-oi-,r«d shell race, which was one and a half miles straight away. 

 At fcHO the .-ingles were culled into line, and of the four entries, three 

 slaricd; John D. Millionth, Quaker City Club, on the west, .fits. B. 

 Lilian, of ilu: Mime club, on the east, with Max. Schmitt, of the Penn- 

 sylvania, between them. They made a good start, and held abreast for 

 the first quarter of a mile, Max poring Mc.Bealh close on to the Island, 

 until in self-defence McBeatb spurted to the lead. Leibert , who was well 

 out in the middle of the river, was nearly levee with McHeath at the 

 Willows, when the hitter was forced to "duck" under the tow lines of m 

 couple of canal boats, which on regatta days appear to tome out as far 

 from the tow-path as their pilots can make them. This gave Lcibert a 

 short lead, and with his usual obstinacy, despite the caution of the He- 

 gatta. Committee previous in the nice, be attempted to turn Mclteiith's 

 stake boat, purposely making u foul, and wa-i disqualified by the Umpire. 

 Mi -Ui rath having u race to pull Inter, wisely saved Wmself, coniinginin 

 Ifi min. tf) sec, followed by Max, who had becu left out of the race on the 

 first mile— time not taken. 

 For the gig race there were two BTrtriasS— 



Hornet— Crescent. Boat Chili - 11. K. llinchmiin. ^n>k„: <i. W. Young, 

 Geo Milhken. Jr., C. E. Steel, how : U F. Winner, coxswain. 



Phantom.— Pennsylvania Boat Club— K. C. fox, stroke; C. Znlner, 

 Geo lluldorn, J. McElmeU, bow; R. II. B. Falrman, coxswain. 



The Crescents caught the water first, and rowing well together at 88 to 

 the minute, soon had a half length lead, the Pennsylvania boys pulling 

 wild at forty strokes and making too much "water works." At ttic 

 "Willows" Winner gave the wash to their opponents, but made such 

 violent use of his rntlder as to materially check his boat. At the stake 

 he muffed it so badly that a two-length lead deviated to two seconds, 

 turning in B min. 68 sec, the Pcnnsylvanias in 6 min. B5 sec. The 

 atfer crew now got together, and spurting finely, soon lead by a length, 

 then two, then three, when MeKlmell unshipped his sliding seat, but the 

 lead was too mm h. Getting mi to Ins seat again they went home in 14 

 min. 18 sec.: Crescent, M mm 30 sec. 



Then followed a double shell race, for which there were only two 

 entries, both from the Crescent. As three of the four men were in the 

 Barge Crew one boat withdrew, giving steel ana Winner a walk over in 

 15 min. S3 sec. They propose, however, "to tow it out on its merits" on 

 next Saturday. While waiting for the doubles m star!, a crowd just 

 above the landing gave signs of an internal disturbance, which was not 

 to In- wondered at, when it was found they had located right over a "Yel- 

 low .lacker's" nest. The bees disputed possession, and served an ejoct- 

 men I.. 

 There were, three entries for the six-oared barges:— 

 Mischief.— Malta Boat. Clnb.— C. B. H. Brelsford. stroke; E. llhnari, 

 Jos. Dunton, Wm. Hopper, J. Illman, J. Hooker, bow; Wm. F. Worths 

 inan, coxswain. Position west.

 two to the miuute. The America was ahead until turning
