Gould. The morDiDg of the 19th dawned bright and clear. 
Just before the races commenced a slight breeze sprang up, 
causing a ripple on the water, but not enough to interfere 
with the rowing. At 3.28 p. m. the first race was called 
which was the Junior four-oared shells, with the following 
entries, who took their places as follows:

When the signal was given to start the Burlington crew 
withdrew from the race, leaving the other five to go oyer the 
course. At the end of the first half mile the Farraguts gave 
up, having broken an oar, which left but four compeUtors in 
the field. The SylvaDs’ crew rounded the mile buoy first in 
7m, 13s. At the end of the first half mile the Peoria caught 
up within two lengths of them, and maintained that position 
to the finish. The following is the time: Sylvans, 13m. l-*s.; 
Peoria, 13m. S24s.; Mitchell, 14m. 53s.: Modoc, no time. 
The second race was for double sculls, same distance as 
four-oared shells, one mile and repeat. In this race there were

weight. 130 ; W H Hyndmanu, stroke weight 140. 
2 Riverdale Rowing Club, Riverdale, 111.— C S Downs, 
bow, weight 130 ; C A Billings, stroke, weight 150. 
At the start the St. Paul Club took the lead and turned 
the stake boat in Gm. 23s. From that time to the finish they 
maintained the lead, doiDg some very fine and rapid rowing 
as they neared the home-boat, crossing the lino in the loUow- 
ing time : St. Paul, 14m. 42*s.; Riverdale, 15m. 224s. 
The next race was the six-oared barge, one and one-half 
miles straight away, with but two entries. 
1. Peoria Boat Club (color white).— W R Cockle, how, 
weight 185 ; H B Skule, 2, weight 151 ; W P Townsend, 3,

peat, with the following entries: Farragut Boat Club, Chi- 
cago— T R Eddy (color brown), weight 155; Riverdale Row- 
ing Club, Riverdale, 111.— C A Billings (scarlet), weight 150; 
Sylvan Boat Club, Moline, III.— J R Fleming (orange), weight 
140; Farragut Boat Club, Chic -go.— H P Darlington (light 
blue), weight 127. At the end of the first half mile Eddy 
dropped out, leaving but three in the race. Fleming, of the 
Sylvan Club, was an easy winner, doing some very lively 
spurting as he approached the home lime. Time as follows : 
Fleming, 10m 37*s. ; C A Billings, 17m 20Js; IIP Darling- 
ton, ISm l3*s. 
The last race of the day was the tub race. Sixteen entries 
were made, but only ten started. This was won by Charles 
Barnard, of the Sylvan Club. This ended the programme for 
the first day. 
The morning of the second day, June 20, broke clear and 
cool. The first race of the day was that of the small Bail boats 
owned here, hut called for the occasion “yachts." The following 
named yachts, with captains’ names given, were entered^ 
The course was three miles and return. W F 
Tower entered yacht W F Toner; C Hefell, Treat; R 
Dahlke, Warner; H Walters, Kitty Cat; Dahlke, Culler ; 
G T Gray, Fannie. The race was won by Kitty Cat in lb 
30m. 
The first race of the regatta was called at 3:20 l*. m. Th% 
wind had gradually been increasing, and it was feared the 
water would be too rough to row, but the judges decided to 
let the boats start. This race was the senior four-oared shells, 
one mile and return, with the following entries: Sylvan Boat 
Club, Moline.— C A Barnard, bow, weight 138; Jas Rose- 
borough, 2. 132 ; W V Cooper, 3, 128 ; Ben Perregoy, stroke, 
142. Farragut Boat Club, Chicago, 111.— C S Downs, bow, 
weight 135 ; U T Muchmore, 2, 135; Frank Booth, 3, 160;

— C F Slightman, how, weight 135; W Fielmann, 2, 150 ; A 
J Reuter, 3, 160; EL Hills, stroke, 150. When the word 
was given the crews started as follows : 1st, Sylvans, with a 
stroke of 39 ; 2d, Madison, with a stroke of 38 ; 3d, Farragut, 
with a stroke of 37. The Sylvans turned the stake boat two 
lengths ahead, closely followed by the Madisons, who made 
the turn in ub quick und pretty shape as has been seen on any 
course. The Sylvans proved too much for them, however, 
and crossed the home line, winners by three lengths. The 
following is the time : Sylvans, 14m 1 Js ; Madison, 14m 33js; 
Farragut, no time. 
This next race was for double sculls, one mile and repeat. 
There was hut one entry for this, by the Madison Boat Club, 
of Madison, Wis. The names of the rowers are as follows : 
C F Slighman, bow, weight 135; Wm Fielmann, stroke, 
weight 150; tim 16m. 39'. The time was very good, con- 
sidering that they had the wind and waves to battle with, in 
addi'ion to having just rowed over the course in the four- 
oared shell. 
The next race was the four-oared gig, with two entries ; 
distance, one mile and return : 
Peoria Boat Club, Peoria, 111. — H Walker, bow, weight 159; 
C S Cockle, 2, weight 180 ; GW Weddle, 3, weight 150 ; G

Commodore's review. This was one of the prettiest sights of 
the day. Last of all came the swimming race, which was 
won bv Chas. Barnard, of the Moline Club. 
On the evening of the 25th the prizes were distributed at 
Rouse's Hall, where a grand reception was given to the vu.it- 
ing clubs by the Peoria Boat Club. In conclusion, 1 might 
ray the regatta was an entire success, eT 7 ™. 9 ? e “ cd TfS 
nleased and it is estimated there were 10,000 visitors. The 
Moline Club were the most fortunate of all, taking away 
with them five prizes. The members of the press were all 
well taken care of, and they are all indebted to H. Knowles 
and S. J. Kilduff, who were the committee on the arrange- 
ments for the press. . * . 
Emitbk Navy.— The second annual regatta of this organi- 
zation was rowed at Peekskill, June 18. The water was 
lumpy, hut gradually smoothed down. The Palisade four- 
oared shell heat Highland and Harlem lours; time, I2m.48 4 s. 
In the nair-oared gig race the Highlands heat Resolutes, of 
CarmaEsvme, and 8 Palisades; time” 16m. 25s. In the double

Moffat, senior, Palisade, in 15m. 4s. E| g{^ oared Barg f 8 
Resolutes beat Palisades in 14m. 13s. The regatta was a 
great success. 
Neptune Rowing Club. -July 15, their spring regatta was 
rowed with fine weather and smooth water. In lhe pair- 
oared shell race A. T. Shand and F. L. Rodewald heat O. T 
Johnson and T. R. Keator-, lime, bin. 6*s. In ^the single

with (cox.); time, 16m. 40s. In the four-oared shell race 
37 and Dauntless 38. Narragansetts snapped their steering 
wires soon after the start, the Lakemans fell astern. Near 
the mile, City Point was ahead and DaunllesB tbreequar ters of 
a length astern of them. At the upper stake Dauntless had 
come out in front with a lead of a quarter of a length only 
after a close struggle, the New York crew niakinga splendid 
turn, owing to their having a coxswain, and soon after the 
turn had gained three lengths. City Point spurted gallantly 
and somewhat closed the gap. 1 n the meantime the Sh wmut 
six turned the upper stake some three lengths behind the City 
Point crew, with Narragansett and Lakeman in the rear. 
Finally the Dauntless crew crossed the finish, a winner by 
two lengths, time 19m. 11s. The crew from Now lork was 
comSd of: Dyer Pearl (bow), Wm. S. Ridafcock, C. E.

Stroke) John Kyle, Jr., (coxswain). In the professional 
6 S’ed race tKrLion crew, of PoHl.ml, Faulkner crow, 
Mahoney crew and Lowell crew made a fine contest. The 
Mahoney and the Boston fours led at the mile, Lowell a good 
third, and the Unions fourth. Faulkner make a bad turn and 
then stopped his crew to avoid collision with the Unions com- 
ine up The Mahoney crew thus got the lead, hut the Bosion 
crew putting on a terrible spurt, closed again, and at the two 
and a quarter mile were in the van once more, pulling a stroke 
of 32 against the Mahoney’s 36. The Faulkner-Reagan crew 
kept their lead and came in winners in 18m. 404s. by a good 
length, Mahoney second, Lowell third and Union fourth

of Lowell, Mahoney, Plaisted and Kelley. Johnson was the fa- 
vorite and took the lead at once. At the mile Plaisted came out 
to the front with a good lead and kept the race well in hand. 
He turned four lengths ahead, Kennedy and Johnson turning

Hablem Regatta.— The annual June regatta of the Harlem 
River Association took place June 22. The Nasraus and New 
York Athletic Clubs refused to enter against Messrs. Walsh 
and Levien, disqualified by the N. A. of A. O. but al- 
lowed to row by the Harlem authorities. This reduced the 
entries materially, and left the two gentlemen a walk-over in 
the pair-oared race, a9 well as the Nautilus Club in the four- 
oared race. Captain R. J. Cook acted as referee; courses^as 
usual. 
<Ct vuuvun. *»• > 
In the junior scull race, called at 2 r. m , Childs got 
the best start, while Gaisel soon passed -him and Lyon 
drew up even’ with Newton in the rear. Gaisel crossed 
the line in Cm. 144s., Lyon second, Newton third, aud 
Childs last, having" ceased pulling too soon. In the 
pair-oared race, Walsh aod Levein had a walk over, tune 6m. 
j»4s In the senior scull Uuthbone was the favorite. Gaisel 
was the first to get away, but Rathbone quickly passed him, 
pulling a quick stroke. Mills dropped to the rear. Rathbone 
led across the line in 6m. 29{s. by a length and a half, Gaisel 
second. The winner of this race already holds the diamond 
sculls won from P. C. Ackerman on a foul. Only one entry 
in the junior gigs by the Columbia College Club. Time Gm. 
144s. The Nautilus four had a walk over, while the six-oartd 
gigs were started only a few seconds later. 'Ihe Dauntless 
gig (with coxswain) won easily in 5m. 34*s., beating the 
Gramercy crew and overhauling the Nassau four on the way. 
In the last event, four-oared gigs, the Nussaus beat the N. Y. 
Athletic Club, time 5m. 17*s. 
Ai.oyone Boat Club.— The Brunette crew defeated the 
Blondes through an accident to the latter in the six-oared race, 
time 12m. 20s. In the four-oared race Flirt bent Couquette in 
12m. 24s. The day’s racing was finished by a most enjoyable 
social evening pariy, at Mr. W. C. Lungley's, at Bay Ridge. 
Silver Lake, Mass., Regatta.— Despite had weather the 
Silver Lake Regatta was as successful as all 6uch events gen- 
erally are in the East. Perfect order and discipline prevailed, 
and so fur as the rowing was concerned there was nothing 
left to be desired. Under the auspices of the Eastern Row- 
ing Association the regatta was fixed for the day of the anni- 
versary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17. The first race 
on the list was that for the junior scullers. The prizes were 
a silver cup to the first and a pair of Donoghue 6culls to the 
second. The starters were : Jeffrey Eager, of the Shawmut 
Club • Frank Turner, of Boston ; John Marrow, of Bostou; D. 
BreeD, of the West End Boat Club, and Charles E. Curtis, of 
Lowell. Curtis won in the excellent time of 15m. 15s ; Breen 
second, Marrow third, Turner fourth and Eager fifth. The 
principal event of the day was the six oared race among ama- 
teurs for which the Bouton Herald, offered a handsome piece 
of silver ware. The Boston Herald, through its very com- 
plete and thorough reports of Eastern rowing affairs, deserves 
the thaDks of the boating fraternity for the great benefit acru- 
ing through the Herald's enterprise and liberality. Five six- 
oared crews came to the start out of the 6ix entered ; the Nar- 
raganselt, Shawmut, City Point, Lakeman and Dauntless. 
The Dauntless crew made the worst start, and the Bhawmul’s 
lead at the first half-mile, pulirng a stroke of 43, City Points 
tie lurutiu iuui * ^ 
next almost together, around the same stake, aud a collision 
became the inevitable result through “ Frenchys fault m 
having picked up the wrong stake and being in the other 
man’s water. This let Lynch go around second and O Rourke 
third Plaisted had in the meantime been lying coolly on 
his oars and the other two bad passed him, but it was not long 
before he had overtaken them aud sent his boat across the 
finish in flue style, after stopping a second time, in 21m. 43is; 
John A Kennedy second in 21m. 50*s., Johnson havmg given 
up - Lynch third in 21m. 52*3.; Lawrence fourth; Johnson, 
D Kennedy and E. Williams in the rear. The Herald Cup 
was presented to the Dauntless crew at the Globe Theatre 
with appropriate formalities aud speech making. 
Courtney-Dempsey Race.— Though Courtney played with 
his rival all the way up, he suddenly was thrown from his 
boat by fouling a submerged wire, as he claims. To say the 
least this is a tough yarn to swallow, and as no evidence 
whatever has been found to substantiate Courtney’s claim, the 
whole affair looks like a disreputable trick in concert with the 
gamblers It is strange that Courtney finds it so difficult to 
let accommodated and is always getting into snarls in his 
races Though the blame in his latest fiasco has not been fixed 
upon any one as yet, the whole thing is calculated to throw a 
bad reputation upon all concerned, and Courtney will suffer 
with the rest. The judges decided to row the race over again 
but Dempsey declines, and there the matter rests. They will 
meet again at Skanealeles. 
Hanlon-Mobris Raoe.— Pittsburghers generally are out of 
pocket, as they ought to he. Hanlon, the Canadian cham- 
pion, has now finished up about everything excepting Court- 
ney, and his pull on the Alleghany shows him to be a pretty 
tough customer over a distance of any kind. Both Hanlon 
and Eph Morris were in fine condition on the day of the race, 
June 20. The course was the same upon which Morris won 
the championship originally from Coulter. The start was ef- 
fected at 6:10 p. m. Hanlon took the lead immediately, pull- 
ing 34 to tiie minute. At the mile Morris made a vigorous 
3 purt, and as he reached the bend was gradually closing the 
gap Near the buoys, however, Hanlon had again spun out 
his lead considerably, but the Pittsburgher bettered his posi- 
tion somewhat. From the turn Hanlon kept the lend all the 
way home, pulling a very long and graceful stroke of 28, aud 
shot across the line with four lengths to spare in 37m. 
New London Notes — New London, June 17. — The Thames 
Rowing Association are building a boat-house 70 feet long by 
20 feet wide, and 15 feet to ratters ; will be ready for occu- 
pancy by last of week Time of rowing Yale-Horvard race 
not yet decided, hut the hour of eleven proposed. From an 
experience of three years’ rowing a shell boat at all hours of 
the day, and a season’s daily practice, I find that the hours h> 
8 a. m. and from 4 pm. are the only houra when they may 
reasonably expect good water. At eleven it is generally 
rough or windy, a breeze coming in from eight and dying off 
about four. Misal. 
Toe Henley Regatta.— The Shoe-wae-cae-mettes and Mr. 
Lee are in daily practice on the Thames. The Coluiubias are 
improving, and are better liked. The Western men, of 
course, are not much thought of by the highly-trained 
British crews, nor does Mr, Lee seem to give them any anxiety. 
We see it mooted in English papers that the above crews 
represent the championship of America. They do nothing of 
the sort, and we must protest against any such flimsy as- 
sumption. The Watkin9 Regatta, has been fully exposed in 
these columns, and however creditable au English victory 
may he, they will not have met the real American champions 
at all. 
ROWING RIPPLES.
