July 7. THE SPOKTINQ LIFE. 11 FIRST HONORS TO ARIEL. The Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club Race Down the Sound. Such a race as the fleet of the Sea- wanhaka-Qorinthian Yacht Club sailed June 27 from N*w Haven to New Lon- don, Conn., wus seldom s«en on Long Island Sound. The time made by the sloop Naruhoe and the schooner Ariel, the first two arrivals, was phenomenal. The distance Is 39 miles, and they sailed aguiust tha tide part of the way. Tut- Navahoe's time was three hours, 1'J minutes and 14 seconds; the Ariel, three hours 12 minutes and 12 seconds. In a "smoky so'wester" they started at 7 A. M. It was a one-gun start, aud one of the best ever seen. New Haven lighthouse was one end of the imaginary line, and Vice-Cornmodoro E. C. Bene diet s steam vacht, Orieida, the other. All crossed the line on the starboard tack iu this order: Gloriana, Ariel, Gos- soon, Queen Mab, Katriua, Elsie BInrie, Oenoue, Navahoe and Madrine. The Oeriono was not racing, but out of cour- tesy to her fair owner, Mrs. Thompson, Messrs. Kerr and Wendel, of the re- gatta committee, timed her at start and finish. They also took Queen Mab's time. A short stretch on the starboard tack aud they were able to keep off on their course. With a stiff breezo, a free sheet and a lump of a beam sea, they went bowling along to the eastward at a 10- knot srait. Hounding Bartlett's Keef lightship tho Navahoe's spinnaker wns split. The crew were trying to set it to starboard when the sheet got away from them. Before the sail could be gathered in it was in pieces. Vice Commodore Benedict's nteam yacht Oneida left her anchorage 15 min- utes aftor the fleet got away. He clapped on all sail to help the engine, and beat the time of all bunds. It was 2h. 4f)tn.

Yale Has a Walk-Over in the Big Intercollegiate Boat Race. The annual Yale-Harvard boat race vas rowed at New London, Conn., June, 28, and resulted in a signal victory for Vale, Who boat their opponents by seven- teen lengths. It was (i P. M., when the tug Manhanset, crowded with newspaper men, started up the river to view the beginning of the great university race between Yalo and Harvard. The boats arrived at the starting point nt 6.15 and lay there waiting for the racing uhell.s to put in an appearance. At 6.28 tho Yale boat shot out from its boat house a Inilf mile above the starting point and. began to cross the strenin. Immediately afterward, as if Yale's appearance wns a signal, Ihe Har vard men trotted down out of their boat house, picked up their shell and placed it gently in tho water. They wore slow In gettiug into position, however, and it was 0.33 when the Harvard boat started for the float. Th« men pulled slowly, resting on their oars now and agflin in order to give Tale, who had so much further to come, time to get to the float at the same mo- ment. lal» bud crossed clear over to Gale's ferry, opposita her boat house. aud then came down with the current. She reached the starting point only » moinont after Harvard, and the two boats were quickly in place, side by side, feady for the word. It came, ond both sets of oars struck the water together, and the boats darted forward, while the Dexter, Manhanset and Summer Girl, the only watching boats, gave a short, sharp toot, to let tho waiting crowds down the stream know that the rivals were off. As hnil been expected, Harvard started in with a fast stroke. 4<> to the minute, hoping to break Yale's heart in the first mile. Yale responded gamely with 38 strokes and kept right abreast of Harvard. For a furlong, perhaps, the boats rowed nip and tuck. Then the longer stroke of the Old Eli began to tell, and Yale drew away from the Hurvardites. At the half-mile she was already fiv<> seconds ahead, a full boat's length, and her lead steadily grew. At the mile Harvard's stroke Lad dropped to 30, while Yale still kept on at the 38 rati- with which she started. There seemed to lie no doubt that it was Yale's race. Her stroke was steady. She passed the mile 10 seconds ahead of Harvard. Here both crews began to reduce their stroke, Yale dropping to 30, and Har- vard to 34. Harvard's work was rag- ged. After the first half mile Harvard's men wore never in perfect stroke. Harvard was 48 seconds behind at the three-mile flag, and at the fourth they were only 46 behind. It was a game and splendid effort, but it could not last. Their stroke, which had risen to 3(i, dropped rapidly to 3'2, while the heavy way in which they handled their oars showed that they were wry tired. Sn. too. were the Yale toys, but they showed it less, being happy in the victory so near at hand. Yale crossed the line 23 minutes ami 47 seconds from the start, Harv^-'' time beiug 24.40. Tho Yalo in- : up straight and strong, none of them showing signs of weakness a victori- ous crew never does; but three of Har- vard's men dropped forward over their oar*, not fainting, but utterly exhausted by the long and hopeless struggle.

Columbia Rowed a Plucky Race, But Harvard Was Never in It. The triangular freshman race between Yalo. Harvard and Columbia was rowed at half-past 11 A. M., June 28, at New- London, Conn., and resulted in the tri- umph of Yule. Columbia saoond; Har- vard third. Columbia was the first to get into position, qnickly followed by Yale. Harvard was more of a laggard and kept the rest waiting for quite a while. It was 11.20 when they finally got into line and lay waiting for the word. Just at 11.31.30 the signal was given, and tho three crews, which had boon' held fast by three men iu boats were let go, the coxswain cheered the men and the freshmen race between Yale, Harvard and Columbia had begun. Yivle took the water first, almost without a splash, whilo Columbia and Harvard simultaneously started on their two-mile course up tho river, each doing con- siderable air and water fanning on the first two strokes. By the time the hnlf- mile flag wus reached the Harvard crew was fully a length anil a hulf astern of Yale, aud the Columbia oarsmen had climbed np to and passed Yale by about line-half a length. In this manner they rowed for the next quarter of a mile, when the voice of young Clark, the little coxswain of Yale, was noticed to call for a trifle faster stroke, and by the time the mile Haz WHS reached Yale and Columbia were having as protty a race as could have been desired, and it was inches and not feet opening between the bows of their shells as they rushed through the water, Columbia pulling 38 to the minute, Yale .TO and Harvard 40, but the stroke of Harvard, although a quick one, lacked strength. Passing the mile Columbia was about a quarter of a length in advance of Yale, while the latter was. giving her swash to Harvard, fully two lengths in the rear. At the mile and a. half Yale had gained the supremacy over Colum- bia and with a 3(5 stroke had opened up a distance of possibly ten feet, while Columbia was pulling 37 and Harvard 38V£, yet dropping behind at every stroke, and was then fully three lengths astern of Yale, and the latter still in- creasing the distance. Poor Columbia! Just as soon as she saw the Yale boat abreast of them and an effort to spurt was not responded to by the men, as it was expected they would, lost heart, and it was a case of follow the leader from there on. Yale continued to forge ahead, and at the finish had opened up the distance between her rudder and tha Columbia s bow, and won by two lengths', the Co- lumbia boys giving a good exhibition of pluck and perseverance, but not ability ;is oarsmen. Poor Harvard was fully leu lengths astern of Columbia, and splashed" and spluttered along as if row- ing in a skiff. They were never in the race. The. official time as given out by Referee Cowles is: Yule. 11.15; Co- lumbia, 11.24; Harvard, 11.50. The officials were: Judge for Colum- bia, Guy Kichards, and \V. B.

The London Field says that ^ no matches between the Vigilant and Val- kyrie have as yet been arranged. It is said that Mr. George Gould is desirous of making matches for the outside chan- nel courses of the Hoyal Victoria Yacht Club, but there is some difficulty about fixing the day. As all the time is tilled, it would be necessary to give up some - -ilta to sail such a match. Mr. 1 is opposed to this, as ho intends that the Vigilant shall compete in every regatta, around the coast. The Scotch newspapers, commenting on the chances of the Vigilant in the Largs regatta, state that the depth of wat«r around some of the marks of the Liargs oourse is only 18 feet, while the Vigilant, with her centreboard plate, draws 23 fett, and the Valkyrie, 19 font. The "Field," in an article on the same subject, urg«s the Royal Largs Yacht Club to take every precaution to avoid a mishap. Captain Haff has wired the secretary of the Royal Largs Yacht Club that it will be Impossible to get the Vigilant ready to take part in the opening races of the Largs regatta on Tuesday. STURDT UNION OARSMEN. Close Finishes Marked Their Annual Members'Regatta on the Harlem. The annual regatta of the Uuion Boat Club was held on the Harlem June 30. There was a good sprinkling of women spectators ia attendance. The best race was the one for eight-oared shells. Crew No. 3 apparently had the best of it at the finish, but the judges decided It a dead heat, and ordered the race rowed over. As No. 3 refused to row, the race was given to crew No. 1.

The twenty-sixth annti.il regatta of the Northwestern Amateur Rowing Association will be held ut Detroit on July 27 auj 28. Edward Henry Fennessy has heen chosen captain of the Harvard 'Varsity crow for next year. He Is n member of the class of 'Ut5 and lives Iu Boston. In a catlHiut race at Atlantic City, June 'iO, eight boats sailed over a lu-mlle course to sett and return. Captain Henry Monroe, of the Stella, came iu 2.V4 minutes ahead of Job Monroe'd boat. H. Armstrong, '05, who rowed the bow mr ill the victorious Vale boat, lias heen mmiiifflbiisly elected captain of the crew for next year. Armstrong rowed how in last year's Fitthmen boat and is the strongest all-round man at Yale. The action of the New England Rowing Association In deciding not to hold a re- gattu this year has caused much di-ssatts- liictlou among the boat clubs in New Kng- laml, and there Is talk of forming a new organization aud holding a regatta in Au- gust. Secretary "Fred" Fortrneyer announces that the foljowiug club* have been elected members of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen: Alpha Boat Club, Ches- ter, Pa.; Star Boat Club, Plymouth, Mass., and the Nautilus Boat Glub, of Detroit, Mlch. A. E. Dumas, the well-known figure skater, and Otto Shuman, of the Atlantic Stowing Club, New York, started June 29 from Montreal to row to New York. They will go down the St. Lawrence to Sorrel, up through the Richelieu by Lake Cuarn- plain and Lake George. A ludicrous story »as sent out from New Haven on Saturday to the effect that unless Harvard Improves In her rowing in anoth- er year Yale will look elsewhere for a boat- ing rival, and. if necessary, go to England and row Oxford. If Yale Is anxious to "meet a foe worthy of her steel 1 it will not ^c necessary for her to go to England, for sbo can tlnd one up In Ithaca, N. Y., in Cornell, who will give her all the tight she wants for aquatic supremacy. Or, she can go nearer home ami try Pennsylvania, as the latter rowed four miles against Cor- nell In a minute less time than Yalo made in her race with Harvard. Speed tells the strength of any crew aud time demon- strates that speed. ~ PENNSY'S FOOT BALL SQUAD. The Opening Fall Practice Will be on an Inland in Virginia. The opening fall practice of the foot- ball squad of the University of Penn- sylvania will in all likelihcod not be at OJape May this year, as has heen the case for the past three years. Instead of going to the popular Jersey resort, the men, according to present plans, will be sent to Broadwater, Va. Cape May is desirable as a training ground in many ways, but the publicity neces- sarily attending the practice there has iu the past been found hurtful to th'p players. Last year, when it was hoped to bring the team home without any of the men ;poiled through excessive praise, tho near-iess of ('ape May permitted several fulsome articles to appear in the papers, and, as a consequence, a num- ber of cases of swelled head appeared among the players. Broadwatcr is located on an island some 30 miles above Cape Charles, on the Virginia coast, and about 15 miles off the Virginia peninsula. The island is three miles wide and 12 miles long. It 's owned by an organization of Philadelphlajis, knonn us the Broad- water Club, of which John C. Sims, ex- president of the University Athletic As- sociation, Is a member. The quarters of the club will be at the disposal of the University players. The very fine beach nt Broadwater offers special advantages for training purposes. The plans of the University football authorities will not take definite shape until Captain A. A. Ktiipe returns to (he city. Then, under his advice, full arrangements for the football training will be made. Punts and Passes. Arrangements have been completed for the Eastern trip of the foot ball eleven of the Chicago Athletic Association next sea- son. The annual game with the New York Athletic Club is booked for October 0. On October 7 the eleven will play Brown at Providence, on the 8th Yale at New Haven, and on the loth Harvard at Bos- ton. The championship In the Middle States (t-nnls touruaiucut was wou by \V. A. Lurucd. YALE'S ATHLETES ABROAD. Given a Hearty Reception in England Getting Their Sea Legs Off, Ktc. The New York arrived at Southamp- ton at 4 o'clock, June '27, with the Yale athletes aboard. As she came up to the pier the team gave a hearty Yale yell, showing that the boys were sound in wind and lung after their voyage. Captain Hickok said every member of the team lauded in very line condition. They had a pleasant voyage, with no particular incident, except the collision with the steamship Deluno. He was only able to exercise his team with rope jumping aboard. PllAOTIOING AT OXFORD. The Yale athletes arrived at Oxford evening of June 27. They were met at the station by many members of the Oxford University Athletic Club, and were escorted to their lodgings in High street. On the following day they went for practice to the Oxford athletic ground, which was tendered them, the Oxford going to Brighton to practice. At about 5 o'clock the whole team put in an appearance. The men were met on the ground by C. N. Jackson, the treasurer of the Oxford Athletic Club, running the ground, which is also used as the Hertford College cricket ground. As a matched game was iu progress many spectators soon deserted the match to watch the Americans. Al- though nothing but very wild practice was indulged in, the spectators saw some good performances. WELL PLEASED. Hickok's and Brown's hammer throw- ing was eagerly watched, and the mag- nificent physique of the former was uni- versally commented on. Sheldon's broad jump also excited very favorable com- ment. He cleared something over 21 feet. Hickok expressed his complete satis- faction with the ground and arrange- ments, though he added that he was himself handicapped by a thick-handle English hammer, and the hard turf, which spoiled his foothold. Of the run- ners, Morgan, Cady and Woodhull all had short spells on the'track. Sanford's verdict was: "The springiest track I ever ran upon." IN GOOD HANDS. All of the Yale athletes are loud in praise of Oxford. The athletes have a house to themselves, situated in historic High street, close to Magdalen Col- lege, and within easy distance of the training ground. Captain Hickok savs that, provided the air in England agreed with his men, he is confident they will be in the very best form by July 10 the date of tho contest. 0X1,Y THE OXFORD EVENTS A ruuior gained belief that after the Yale-Oxford match the Americans in- tend meeting a team representing the Northern Counties, but this is untrue The dosing of entries for the English championships wero delayed in order to secure Yale names, but in vain The management of the French champion- ships also wrote, offering to postpone their games a week if the Yale men would enter, but their efforts were also fruitless. Mrrt. Phipps, whose husband is a part- ner of Andrew Carnegie, and who has taken Lord Lytton's place at Kneb- w>rth, has invited the Yale men on a visit just after the match, and will give £f ball in their honor. Her son is u Yale undergraduate, knows the men of the team well, and came over on the New York with them. YALE AGAINST OXFORD. An English Estimate of the Rival Champions' Merits. The White Star steamer, Britannic, which reached New York lust Saturday, brought the first detailed comment from England on the possibilities of the inter- national track and field tournament be- tween the picked athletes of Yale and Oxtord universities. The university correspondent of fiondon "Sporting Life" pairs the rivals off as follows: "Now that the Oxford and Yale meeting is rteltultely arranged, simply Immense is the excitement evinced in both countries and 'tis not hyperbole to de-cm it 'the athletic meeting of the centtirv.' One thing is certain, the Queen's Club authorities will have made special preparations tor the enormous crowd, which will foregather from all parts, as they assuredly will President Oakley is keeping his men well In hand, aud next week I hope to speak more definitely of their selected training ground, not yet chosen. For the 'Hundred,' Messrs. W. Jordan and C. B. Fry will rep- resent tho Dark lilttcs, with (J. F. Stmford and A. Pond (Yale) In opposition. Judging from records, all four are about 10 i!-5 men. but much faster time will he re- quired on the day, or I am mistaken Mr. \V. O. Hickok and Mr. A. Brown (Yale) will oppose Messrs. Kobertson and Mailings (Oxford) in the weights and hammer, hut these events are 'morals' for the Yankees on previous form. Mr Hickok figures ovrt with 42ft., 9ln. (weight) and 125ft. (hammer), and, as his confrere is very near this, wonderful Improvements must lie made by the Oxonians to with- stand It. Mr. Jordan (Oxford) and Mr. Sanford (Yale) are pretty evenly matched In the quarter, either having got close on to 50s., but the former won so easily against Cambridge that ho should attain 'ovens' at least. The mile looks a good thing for Oxford, ns Mr. W. II. Circenhnw ac- complished 4m.. 22s.. whercns J. E. Mor- gan (Yalo) occupied 4m., 31 2-5s. time, which Mr. Hildyard (Oxford's second string) should roach. Per contra, the half- mile looks equally crood business for Yalf*. aa Mr. W. S. Wooilhnll got homo in tho fine time of 1m., Rf) 4-5s. Mr. f.reonhow took 2m.. 2s. to comploto the distance at tho University sports, snd T don't fancy he would ovor heat 'level' time, although a 'flyor.' Tho high Jump should onslly go to Oxford, ns Mr. Sswnnwick will 'top' lift, if required, whereas 5ft., lOVJn. Is the host recorded for cither Yale man. Mnst folk naturally jnmn to the conclusion thnt the long .lump is, of nil events, tho inN'ntost oortnln'v for Mr. C. B. Fry. who holds the world's record with 23ft..' O^Aln. But Mr. L. P.

Charles Pry Thinks Vale and the Oxonians Are Well Matched. Captain Fry, the famous athlete and captain of the Oxford team, the other day discussed with correspondents the athletic quality of the lale visitors. He is probably the most talked-of under- graduate either university has had in a century. He came to Oxford from Kiptou School with a great athletic rep- utation, and in the first year achieved, it is said, the unparalleled distinction of "triple blue," having a right to wear blue as a member of the University athletic team, cricket ICULU and associa- tion football team. He is now captain of all three. Ha won a scholarship at Wadham College besides, and took first- class in classics last year. His fa- miliar soubriquet is Charles the Third. The correspondent found him at Lord s, in the midst of the last trial cricket match, prior to meeting Cam- bridge. He was at luncheon, aud re- ceiving gongratuldtiong on haviug just bowlod five wickets for 43 runs. He was eatlug strawberries as though never going to train aaain. "Never mind," said Fry, "the rest of my team are training at Brighton, and can't see me. As soon as all these cricket matches are over I shall train hard." Fry said hig men w«re doing well. Swauwick, in particular, is in fine form, and may jump six feet ou the day of the meet. "We cannot hope to beat Hickok," he added. "I'm told their boardjumper does 23 feet, and unless I can get into better form than 1 have been all this year it will be very close. As regard flat races, time tests are never Tory sure. Th» Americans may be handicapped by climate, and our men are unaccustomed to training in heat of summer, 80 I should not be sur- prised if times on July 10 differ very much from those of the intercollegiate games, both in American and hero " When pressed to give au opinion on the general result, Fry declined, say- ing: "As far as I can judge they are un average set of athletes, aud we are au average set of athletes.

The conditions were twenty-five birds each, handicap rise, with an entrance fee of $50, the winner to get the cup now held by Fred Hoey, who won it last year, and GO per. cent. of the stake money. A stiff breeze which swept over the ground assisted the birds in their flight, and they were off like a cannon ball when the traps wore slung. Nearly all the birds were drivers, l^oey was in good form, and displayed his skill by bringing down some of the most diffi- cult birds. The second barrel in nearly every instance finished them. Luck was with Hoey. Several of his killed struck tho boundary fence and fell backward within the lines, thus adding to his score. Len Thompson gave Hoey a close race for first honors, and was beaten by one bird. Following are the scores: Thompson I 1101, 10121. 21211, 0 1121. 02121. Killed, 21; mlasod, 4. Thomas S. Dando 2 2220, 11210, 102 1 2, 1 0 1 2 1, 2 2 2 0 0. Killed, 1(1; missed, 6. Hot-y-0 2222, 22222, 22222, 222 20 22202. Killed, 22; missed. 3. The previous winners of the Futurity were: 1891, William Kent, Tuxedo; 1892, L. T. Duryea, Glencove; 1893, Fred Hoey. Following the Futurity was a prize shnot for two cases of champagne, There were six entries, Hoey, Thomp- son, Dando, Davis, Harued and Finlet- ter. The first four tied, and in the shoot off, which was miss and out, Hoey and Thompson each killed 4 straight. They divided the prize. WOMEN AS KIFLE SHOTS. The Fair Sex to be Actively Engaged At Military Competitions. From London "Truth" we glean the following bit of interesting news: "Quite recently the aspirations of certain strong-minded ladies, who proposed to serve their country by enrolling them- selves in a Female Volunteer Ambu- lance Corps, excited the risible facul- ties of a large portion of the press. But it would really seem now that the laugh was misplaced, aud that lovely woman, no longer content to conquer by force of beauty, has determined to assert her supremacy by an appeal to arms. It is difficult to interpret in any other way the information which has been published, to the effect that the Duke of Cannaught and the Committee of the Army Rifle Meeting to be held at Ash, near Aldershot, on July 4, and three following days have determined that out of the forty competitions open to the regular troops, navy, marines, militia and yeomanry cavalry, one is to be reserved for ladies introduced by offi- cers of the Aldershot Division. The conditions are seven shots standing at fifty yards, with practice cartridge rifles or Martini-Metford carbines. Random Shots. The Lancaster Gun Club opened Its new range ou Conestoga ('reek on July 4. The first of the series of five matches between Dr. Carter and K. I). Fulford, the crack wing snots, at 100 birds for a stake of $500 a side on each match, will take place in Plttnburg on October 1. The newly-elected officers of the Orange Rod and Gun Club are as follows: Presi- dent, C. C. Young; vice president, John Phillips; treasurer George Mclntosh; finan- cial secretary, William W. Adams; record- ing secretary, Frank Storms. Somo of the best shooting that has been douo at the traps this year was that of June 20 at the Naticnal Tournament In Cleveland. Two Clevelnrd shots surprised tho visitors. D. A. Upson won two tlrsts, two thirds, one fourth and one sixth. Ralph Worthlugton carried off one first, three seconds aud two thirds. Glover, of Rochester, N. Y.. had the best average, and was the only man to break 2f> straight. Captain An son dropped 14 out c "15. In the Middle States tournament Miss Juliet Atkinson, of the Kings County Tcuuls Club, won the cmimpionshio iu la- dies' singles, defeating Miss Helen llelwig, also of the Kings County Tennis Club, af- ter a hard-fouclit battls. TUB score was G-8, 7-5. 6-4. 8-10, 6-2. A RECORD BKOKEN. New Time Made For a Mile to Wagon. The third and last of the intercity wagon races between Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia horses \vas trot- ted over 1'imlico track, at Baltimore, June 27. About 2500 people were pres- ent, 100 from New York and 150 from Philadelphia. The feature of the racing was the mile of Fred Gerkon's stud, Captain Lyons, who made the world's record to wagon 2.21. He did it easily, and won not only his race but the 2.20 elass cup. He won the same class race in Phila- delphia last Wednesday. There is a dispute about the three-minute class on account of S. A. Kice, who drove Dukes in New York. He is charged with being n professional driver, but the charge will bo a hard one to prove, and B. r. Fenneman, owner of the course, will now own the cup subject to the decision of the National Board of Ue- view. The horse Dukes was then start- ed in the 2.30 class. His owner drove him. James McClenahan's Ressie Clurk won. the 2.30 class in Philadelphia and clinch- ed the cup by winning here to-day. The double team cup was hotly contested. Gerkeu's team won in Philadelphia and Hiley's team in New York; each got a heat. Nichola' Philadelphia team won the first heat, and was distanced in. the second. Gerken's team won the final heat and added another race and cup to his credit. The three-minute race was a gift to F. Bower, his mare Komona winning in straight heats. If Kiev is decided a pro- fessional Mr. Bower will get the original cup. If he is not decided professional a new cup will be made for Mr. Bower. The summaries: 2.30 OT,ASS.

FIRST HONORS TO ARIEL.

The Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club Race Down the Sound.

Such a race as the fleet of the Sea- wanhaka-Qorinthian Yacht Club sailed June 27 from N*w Haven to New Lon­ don, Conn., wus seldom s«en on Long Island Sound. The time made by the sloop Naruhoe and the schooner Ariel, the first two arrivals, was phenomenal. The distance Is 39 miles, and they sailed aguiust tha tide part of the way. Tut- Navahoe's time was three hours, 1'J minutes and 14 seconds; the Ariel, three hours 12 minutes and 12 seconds.

In a "smoky so'wester" they started at 7 A. M. It was a one-gun start, aud one of the best ever seen. New Haven lighthouse was one end of the imaginary line, and Vice-Cornmodoro E. C. Bene diet s steam vacht, Orieida, the other. All crossed the line on the starboard tack iu this order: Gloriana, Ariel, Gos­ soon, Queen Mab, Katriua, Elsie BInrie, Oenoue, Navahoe and Madrine. The Oeriono was not racing, but out of cour­ tesy to her fair owner, Mrs. Thompson, Messrs. Kerr and Wendel, of the re­ gatta committee, timed her at start and finish. They also took Queen Mab's time.

A short stretch on the starboard tack aud they were able to keep off on their course. With a stiff breezo, a free sheet and a lump of a beam sea, they went bowling along to the eastward at a 10- knot srait. Hounding Bartlett's Keef lightship tho Navahoe's spinnaker wns split. The crew were trying to set it to starboard when the sheet got away from them. Before the sail could be gathered in it was in pieces.

Vice Commodore Benedict's nteam yacht Oneida left her anchorage 15 min­ utes aftor the fleet got away. He clapped on all sail to help the engine, and beat the time of all bunds. It was 2h. 4f)tn. Following is the nummary:

HARVARD BADLY BEATEN.

Yale Has a Walk-Over in the Big Intercollegiate Boat Race.

The annual Yale-Harvard boat race vas rowed at New London, Conn., June, 28, and resulted in a signal victory for Vale, Who boat their opponents by seven­ teen lengths. It was (i P. M., when the tug Manhanset, crowded with newspaper men, started up the river to view the beginning of the great university race between Yalo and Harvard. The boats arrived at the starting point nt 6.15 and lay there waiting for the racing uhell.s to put in an appearance.

At 6.28 tho Yale boat shot out from its boat house a Inilf mile above the starting point and. began to cross the strenin. Immediately afterward, as if Yale's appearance wns a signal, Ihe Har vard men trotted down out of their boat house, picked up their shell and placed it gently in tho water. They wore slow In gettiug into position, however, and it was 0.33 when the Harvard boat started for the float.

Th« men pulled slowly, resting on their oars now and agflin in order to give Tale, who had so much further to come, time to get to the float at the same mo­ ment. lal» bud crossed clear over to Gale's ferry, opposita her boat house. aud then came down with the current. She reached the starting point only » moinont after Harvard, and the two boats were quickly in place, side by side, feady for the word.

It came, ond both sets of oars struck the water together, and the boats darted forward, while the Dexter, Manhanset and Summer Girl, the only watching boats, gave a short, sharp toot, to let tho waiting crowds down the stream know that the rivals were off. As hnil been expected, Harvard started in with a fast stroke. 4<> to the minute, hoping to break Yale's heart in the first mile. Yale responded gamely with 38 strokes and kept right abreast of Harvard. For a furlong, perhaps, the boats rowed nip and tuck. Then the longer stroke of the Old Eli began to tell, and Yale drew away from the Hurvardites.

At the half-mile she was already fiv<> seconds ahead, a full boat's length, and her lead steadily grew. At the mile Harvard's stroke Lad dropped to 30, while Yale still kept on at the 38 rati- with which she started. There seemed to lie no doubt that it was Yale's race. Her stroke was steady. She passed the mile 10 seconds ahead of Harvard. Here both crews began to reduce their stroke, Yale dropping to 30, and Har­ vard to 34. Harvard's work was rag­ ged. After the first half mile Harvard's men wore never in perfect stroke.

Harvard was 48 seconds behind at the three-mile flag, and at the fourth they were only 46 behind. It was a game and splendid effort, but it could not last. Their stroke, which had risen to 3(i, dropped rapidly to 3'2, while the heavy way in which they handled their oars showed that they were wry tired. Sn. too. were the Yale toys, but they showed it less, being happy in the victory so near at hand.

Yale crossed the line 23 minutes ami 47 seconds from the start, Harv^-'' time beiug 24.40. Tho Yalo in- :

up straight and strong, none of them showing signs of weakness a victori­ ous crew never does; but three of Har­ vard's men dropped forward over their oar*, not fainting, but utterly exhausted by the long and hopeless struggle. The official time by half miles is as follows:

YALE FRESHMEN WIN.

Columbia Rowed a Plucky Race, But Harvard Was Never in It.

The triangular freshman race between Yalo. Harvard and Columbia was rowed at half-past 11 A. M., June 28, at New- London, Conn., and resulted in the tri­ umph of Yule. Columbia saoond; Har­ vard third. Columbia was the first to get into position, qnickly followed by Yale. Harvard was more of a laggard and kept the rest waiting for quite a while. It was 11.20 when they finally got into line and lay waiting for the word.

Just at 11.31.30 the signal was given, and tho three crews, which had boon' held fast by three men iu boats were let go, the coxswain cheered the men and the freshmen race between Yale, Harvard and Columbia had begun. Yivle took the water first, almost without a splash, whilo Columbia and Harvard simultaneously started on their two-mile course up tho river, each doing con­ siderable air and water fanning on the first two strokes. By the time the hnlf- mile flag wus reached the Harvard crew was fully a length anil a hulf astern of Yale, aud the Columbia oarsmen had climbed np to and passed Yale by about line-half a length.

In this manner they rowed for the next quarter of a mile, when the voice of young Clark, the little coxswain of Yale, was noticed to call for a trifle faster stroke, and by the time the mile Haz WHS reached Yale and Columbia were having as protty a race as could have been desired, and it was inches and not feet opening between the bows of their shells as they rushed through the water, Columbia pulling 38 to the minute, Yale .TO and Harvard 40, but the stroke of Harvard, although a quick one, lacked strength.

Passing the mile Columbia was about a quarter of a length in advance of Yale, while the latter was. giving her swash to Harvard, fully two lengths in the rear. At the mile and a. half Yale had gained the supremacy over Colum­ bia and with a 3(5 stroke had opened up a distance of possibly ten feet, while Columbia was pulling 37 and Harvard 38V£, yet dropping behind at every stroke, and was then fully three lengths astern of Yale, and the latter still in­ creasing the distance. Poor Columbia! Just as soon as she saw the Yale boat abreast of them and an effort to spurt was not responded to by the men, as it was expected they would, lost heart, and it was a case of follow the leader from there on.

Yale continued to forge ahead, and at the finish had opened up the distance between her rudder and tha Columbia s bow, and won by two lengths', the Co­ lumbia boys giving a good exhibition of pluck and perseverance, but not ability ;is oarsmen. Poor Harvard was fully leu lengths astern of Columbia, and splashed" and spluttered along as if row­ ing in a skiff. They were never in the race.

The. official time as given out by Referee Cowles is: Yule. 11.15; Co­ lumbia, 11.24; Harvard, 11.50.

The officials were: Judge for Colum­ bia, Guy Kichards, and \V. B. Meickil- liam timer; Yale's judge was Bob Cook, aud George Adee, timer. The crews were:

THE VIGILANTS PROGRAMME.

Not Lik-cly to Take Part in Match Races With Britannia.

The London Field says that ^ no matches between the Vigilant and Val­ kyrie have as yet been arranged. It is said that Mr. George Gould is desirous of making matches for the outside chan­ nel courses of the Hoyal Victoria Yacht Club, but there is some difficulty about fixing the day. As all the time is tilled, it would be necessary to give up some - -ilta to sail such a match. Mr.

1 is opposed to this, as ho intends

that the Vigilant shall compete in every regatta, around the coast.

The Scotch newspapers, commenting on the chances of the Vigilant in the Largs regatta, state that the depth of wat«r around some of the marks of the Liargs oourse is only 18 feet, while the Vigilant, with her centreboard plate, draws 23 fett, and the Valkyrie, 19 font.

The "Field," in an article on the same subject, urg«s the Royal Largs Yacht Club to take every precaution to avoid a mishap.

Captain Haff has wired the secretary of the Royal Largs Yacht Club that it will be Impossible to get the Vigilant ready to take part in the opening races of the Largs regatta on Tuesday.

STURDT UNION OARSMEN.

Ripples.Arthur T. Kenuy, the crack amateur

swimmer, has located at Littloton, N. H. where he will practice dentistry.

The twenty-sixth annti.il regatta of the Northwestern Amateur Rowing Association will be held ut Detroit on July 27 auj 28.

Edward Henry Fennessy has heen chosen captain of the Harvard 'Varsity crow for next year. He Is n member of the class of 'Ut5 and lives Iu Boston.

In a catlHiut race at Atlantic City, June 'iO, eight boats sailed over a lu-mlle course to sett and return. Captain Henry Monroe, of the Stella, came iu 2.V4 minutes ahead of Job Monroe'd boat.

H. Armstrong, '05, who rowed the bow mr ill the victorious Vale boat, lias heen mmiiifflbiisly elected captain of the crew for next year. Armstrong rowed how in last year's Fitthmen boat and is the strongest all-round man at Yale.

The action of the New England Rowing Association In deciding not to hold a re- gattu this year has caused much di-ssatts- liictlou among the boat clubs in New Kng- laml, and there Is talk of forming a new organization aud holding a regatta in Au­ gust.

Secretary "Fred" Fortrneyer announces that the foljowiug club* have been elected members of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen: Alpha Boat Club, Ches­ ter, Pa.; Star Boat Club, Plymouth, Mass., and the Nautilus Boat Glub, of Detroit, Mlch.

A. E. Dumas, the well-known figure skater, and Otto Shuman, of the Atlantic Stowing Club, New York, started June 29 from Montreal to row to New York. They will go down the St. Lawrence to Sorrel, up through the Richelieu by Lake Cuarn- plain and Lake George.

A ludicrous story »as sent out from New Haven on Saturday to the effect that unless Harvard Improves In her rowing in anoth­ er year Yale will look elsewhere for a boat­ ing rival, and. if necessary, go to England and row Oxford. If Yale Is anxious to "meet a foe worthy of her steel 1 it will not ^c necessary for her to go to England, for sbo can tlnd one up In Ithaca, N. Y., in Cornell, who will give her all the tight she wants for aquatic supremacy. Or, she can go nearer home ami try Pennsylvania, as the latter rowed four miles against Cor­ nell In a minute less time than Yalo made in her race with Harvard. Speed tells the strength of any crew aud time demon­ strates that speed.

~ PENNSY'S FOOT BALL SQUAD.

The Opening Fall Practice Will be on an Inland in Virginia.

The opening fall practice of the foot­ ball squad of the University of Penn­ sylvania will in all likelihcod not be at OJape May this year, as has heen the case for the past three years. Instead of going to the popular Jersey resort, the men, according to present plans, will be sent to Broadwater, Va. Cape May is desirable as a training ground in many ways, but the publicity neces­ sarily attending the practice there has iu the past been found hurtful to th'p players. Last year, when it was hoped to bring the team home without any of the men ;poiled through excessive praise, tho near-iess of ('ape May permitted several fulsome articles to appear in the papers, and, as a consequence, a num­ ber of cases of swelled head appeared among the players.

Broadwatcr is located on an island some 30 miles above Cape Charles, on the Virginia coast, and about 15 miles off the Virginia peninsula. The island is three miles wide and 12 miles long. It 's owned by an organization of Philadelphlajis, knonn us the Broad- water Club, of which John C. Sims, ex- president of the University Athletic As­ sociation, Is a member. The quarters of the club will be at the disposal of the University players. The very fine beach nt Broadwater offers special advantages for training purposes.

The plans of the University football authorities will not take definite shape until Captain A. A. Ktiipe returns to (he city. Then, under his advice, full arrangements for the football training will be made.

Punts and Passes.Arrangements have been completed for

the Eastern trip of the foot ball eleven of the Chicago Athletic Association next sea­ son. The annual game with the New York Athletic Club is booked for October 0. On October 7 the eleven will play Brown at Providence, on the 8th Yale at New Haven, and on the loth Harvard at Bos­ ton.

YALE'S ATHLETES ABROAD.

Given a Hearty Reception in England Getting Their Sea Legs Off, Ktc.The New York arrived at Southamp­

ton at 4 o'clock, June '27, with the Yale athletes aboard. As she came up to the pier the team gave a hearty Yale yell, showing that the boys were sound in wind and lung after their voyage. Captain Hickok said every member of the team lauded in very line condition. They had a pleasant voyage, with no particular incident, except the collision with the steamship Deluno. He was only able to exercise his team with rope jumping aboard.

PllAOTIOING AT OXFORD.The Yale athletes arrived at Oxford

evening of June 27. They were met at the station by many members of the Oxford University Athletic Club, and were escorted to their lodgings in High street. On the following day they went for practice to the Oxford athletic ground, which was tendered them, the Oxford going to Brighton to practice.

At about 5 o'clock the whole team put in an appearance. The men were met on the ground by C. N. Jackson, the treasurer of the Oxford Athletic Club, running the ground, which is also used as the Hertford College cricket ground. As a matched game was iu progress many spectators soon deserted the match to watch the Americans. Al­ though nothing but very wild practice was indulged in, the spectators saw some good performances.

WELL PLEASED.Hickok's and Brown's hammer throw­

ing was eagerly watched, and the mag­ nificent physique of the former was uni­ versally commented on. Sheldon's broad jump also excited very favorable com­ ment. He cleared something over 21 feet.

Hickok expressed his complete satis­ faction with the ground and arrange­ ments, though he added that he was himself handicapped by a thick-handle English hammer, and the hard turf, which spoiled his foothold. Of the run­ ners, Morgan, Cady and Woodhull all had short spells on the'track. Sanford's verdict was: "The springiest track I ever ran upon."

IN GOOD HANDS.All of the Yale athletes are loud in

praise of Oxford. The athletes have a house to themselves, situated in historic High street, close to Magdalen Col­ lege, and within easy distance of the training ground. Captain Hickok savs that, provided the air in England agreed with his men, he is confident they will be in the very best form by July 10 the date of tho contest.

0X1,Y THE OXFORD EVENTSA ruuior gained belief that after the

Yale-Oxford match the Americans in­ tend meeting a team representing the Northern Counties, but this is untrue The dosing of entries for the English championships wero delayed in order to secure Yale names, but in vain The management of the French champion­ ships also wrote, offering to postpone their games a week if the Yale men would enter, but their efforts were also fruitless.

Mrrt. Phipps, whose husband is a part­ ner of Andrew Carnegie, and who has taken Lord Lytton's place at Kneb- w>rth, has invited the Yale men on a visit just after the match, and will give £f ball in their honor. Her son is u Yale undergraduate, knows the men of the team well, and came over on the New York with them.

YALE AGAINST OXFORD.

An English Estimate of the Rival Champions' Merits.

The White Star steamer, Britannic, which reached New York lust Saturday, brought the first detailed comment from England on the possibilities of the inter­ national track and field tournament be­ tween the picked athletes of Yale and Oxtord universities. The university correspondent of fiondon "Sporting Life" pairs the rivals off as follows:

"Now that the Oxford and Yale meeting is rteltultely arranged, simply Immense is the excitement evinced in both countries and 'tis not hyperbole to de-cm it 'the athletic meeting of the centtirv.' One thing is certain, the Queen's Club authorities will have made special preparations tor the enormous crowd, which will foregather from all parts, as they assuredly will President Oakley is keeping his men well In hand, aud next week I hope to speak more definitely of their selected training ground, not yet chosen. For the 'Hundred,' Messrs. W. Jordan and C. B. Fry will rep­ resent tho Dark lilttcs, with (J. F. Stmford and A. Pond (Yale) In opposition. Judging from records, all four are about 10 i!-5 men. but much faster time will he re­ quired on the day, or I am mistaken Mr. \V. O. Hickok and Mr. A. Brown (Yale) will oppose Messrs. Kobertson and Mailings (Oxford) in the weights and hammer, hut these events are 'morals' for the Yankees on previous form. Mr Hickok figures ovrt with 42ft., 9ln. (weight) and 125ft. (hammer), and, as his confrere is very near this, wonderful Improvements must lie made by the Oxonians to with­ stand It. Mr. Jordan (Oxford) and Mr. Sanford (Yale) are pretty evenly matched In the quarter, either having got close on to 50s., but the former won so easily against Cambridge that ho should attain 'ovens' at least. The mile looks a good thing for Oxford, ns Mr. W. II. Circenhnw ac­ complished 4m.. 22s.. whercns J. E. Mor­ gan (Yalo) occupied 4m., 31 2-5s. time, which Mr. Hildyard (Oxford's second string) should roach. Per contra, the half- mile looks equally crood business for Yalf*. aa Mr. W. S. Wooilhnll got homo in tho fine time of 1m., Rf) 4-5s. Mr. f.reonhow took 2m.. 2s. to comploto the distance at tho University sports, snd T don't fancy he would ovor heat 'level' time, although a 'flyor.' Tho high Jump should onslly go to Oxford, ns Mr. Sswnnwick will 'top' lift, if required, whereas 5ft., lOVJn. Is the host recorded for cither Yale man. Mnst folk naturally jnmn to the conclusion thnt the long .lump is, of nil events, tho inN'ntost oortnln'v for Mr. C. B. Fry. who holds the world's record with 23ft..' O^Aln. But Mr. L. P. Sholdon (Yale) Is credit H with over 23ft. on several occasions, so ihnt .inmnliiK o.xtrflordlnnry should ensue siniT further breaking of records galore. President Oaklev (Oxford) will greatly Inmrovo 'i'ion his 1R 3-5 for thp hurdle*. n* bo win hnvo to rto nil In conscience, for Mr. F. ft. C'jirly (Yn'e) not only winnlpcl ir.j dofii in fljo sprlna. hut Is credited with 15 4-Ks. mi no less than three oeens- ions. Many will smile. T know, nt this eye oppner. yet T have it on the host of authority thnt Mr. Cnrty haa few eouals In America -it hnrnMtne. and tbnt tho<=<* flonro* nre abso'nfoly correct. This tirlof tnreliti'lnnryt outline of respective form will show thnt ovm'V event will be In- ton^ely Interesting and worth a day's journey to witness."

OXFORD'S CAPTAIN TALKS.

Charles Pry Thinks Vale and the Oxonians Are Well Matched.

Captain Fry, the famous athlete and captain of the Oxford team, the other day discussed with correspondents the athletic quality of the lale visitors. He is probably the most talked-of under­ graduate either university has had in a century. He came to Oxford from Kiptou School with a great athletic rep­ utation, and in the first year achieved, it is said, the unparalleled distinction of "triple blue," having a right to wear blue as a member of the University athletic team, cricket ICULU and associa­

tion football team. He is now captain of all three. Ha won a scholarship at Wadham College besides, and took first- class in classics last year. His fa­ miliar soubriquet is Charles the Third.

The correspondent found him at Lord s, in the midst of the last trial cricket match, prior to meeting Cam­ bridge. He was at luncheon, aud re­ ceiving gongratuldtiong on haviug just bowlod five wickets for 43 runs. He was eatlug strawberries as though never going to train aaain. "Never mind," said Fry, "the rest of my team are training at Brighton, and can't see me. As soon as all these cricket matches are over I shall train hard."

Fry said hig men w«re doing well. Swauwick, in particular, is in fine form, and may jump six feet ou the day of the meet. "We cannot hope to beat Hickok," he added. "I'm told their boardjumper does 23 feet, and unless I can get into better form than 1 have been all this year it will be very close. As regard flat races, time tests are never Tory sure. Th» Americans may be handicapped by climate, and our men are unaccustomed to training in heat of summer, 80 I should not be sur­ prised if times on July 10 differ very much from those of the intercollegiate games, both in American and hero "

When pressed to give au opinion on the general result, Fry declined, say­ ing: "As far as I can judge they are un average set of athletes, aud we are au average set of athletes. May the better team win."

Pointers.A purse of $1001) will be given for the

BrofesslonfU sprinters' KXVyarrt race at enver, Col., August 10. California, Con­

necticut, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Massachu­ setts and Pennsylvania will have represen­ tative! In the race.

Harry Klirg. who left New Orleans. May 27 to walk to St. Louis within thirty-live days, on a woger of |2OOO, made by S. D. Amico, of New Orleans, and Charles Al­ ien Palmer, of Chicago, arrived in St. Louis, at 4.13 A. M., June 30, two days ahead of time. He was on the road thirty- three days. The actual time consumed in tho walk was seventeen days and five hours. The dlntauce walked was 73'J miles.

THE HOLLYWOOD CUP.

Hoey Beats Two Other Experts and "Wins It Again.

At Hollywod, N. J., June 30. the Hol­ lywood Futurity shoot attracted a fair­ ly good attendance. The conditions were twenty-five birds each, handicap rise, with an entrance fee of $50, the winner to get the cup now held by Fred Hoey, who won it last year, and GO per. cent. of the stake money.

A stiff breeze which swept over the ground assisted the birds in their flight, and they were off like a cannon ball when the traps wore slung. Nearly all the birds were drivers, l^oey was in good form, and displayed his skill by bringing down some of the most diffi­ cult birds. The second barrel in nearly every instance finished them. Luck was with Hoey. Several of his killed struck tho boundary fence and fell backward within the lines, thus adding to his score. Len Thompson gave Hoey a close race for first honors, and was beaten by one bird. Following are the scores:

Thompson I 1101, 10121. 21211, 0 1121. 02121. Killed, 21; mlasod, 4.

Thomas S. Dando 2 2220, 11210, 102 1 2, 1 0 1 2 1, 2 2 2 0 0. Killed, 1(1; missed, 6.

Hot-y-0 2222, 22222, 22222, 222 20 22202. Killed, 22; missed. 3.

The previous winners of the Futurity were: 1891, William Kent, Tuxedo; 1892, L. T. Duryea, Glencove; 1893, Fred Hoey.

Following the Futurity was a prize shnot for two cases of champagne, There were six entries, Hoey, Thomp­ son, Dando, Davis, Harued and Finlet- ter. The first four tied, and in the shoot off, which was miss and out, Hoey and Thompson each killed 4 straight. They divided the prize.

WOMEN AS KIFLE SHOTS.

The Fair Sex to be Actively Engaged At Military Competitions.

From London "Truth" we glean the following bit of interesting news: "Quite recently the aspirations of certain strong-minded ladies, who proposed to serve their country by enrolling them­ selves in a Female Volunteer Ambu­ lance Corps, excited the risible facul­ ties of a large portion of the press. But it would really seem now that the laugh was misplaced, aud that lovely woman, no longer content to conquer by force of beauty, has determined to assert her supremacy by an appeal to arms. It is difficult to interpret in any other way the information which has been published, to the effect that the Duke of Cannaught and the Committee of the Army Rifle Meeting to be held at Ash, near Aldershot, on July 4, and three following days have determined that out of the forty competitions open to the regular troops, navy, marines, militia and yeomanry cavalry, one is to be reserved for ladies introduced by offi­ cers of the Aldershot Division. The conditions are seven shots standing at fifty yards, with practice cartridge rifles or Martini-Metford carbines.

Random Shots.The Lancaster Gun Club opened Its

new range ou Conestoga ('reek on July 4.The first of the series of five matches

between Dr. Carter and K. I). Fulford, the crack wing snots, at 100 birds for a stake of $500 a side on each match, will take place in Plttnburg on October 1.

The newly-elected officers of the Orange Rod and Gun Club are as follows: Presi­ dent, C. C. Young; vice president, John Phillips; treasurer George Mclntosh; finan­ cial secretary, William W. Adams; record­ ing secretary, Frank Storms.

Somo of the best shooting that has been douo at the traps this year was that of June 20 at the Naticnal Tournament In Cleveland. Two Clevelnrd shots surprised tho visitors. D. A. Upson won two tlrsts, two thirds, one fourth and one sixth. Ralph Worthlugton carried off one first, three seconds aud two thirds. Glover, of Rochester, N. Y.. had the best average, and was the only man to break 2f> straight. Captain An son dropped 14 out c "15.

In the Middle States tournament Miss Juliet Atkinson, of the Kings County Tcuuls Club, won the cmimpionshio iu la­ dies' singles, defeating Miss Helen llelwig, also of the Kings County Tennis Club, af­ ter a hard-fouclit battls. TUB score was G-8, 7-5. 6-4. 8-10, 6-2.

A RECORD BKOKEN.

New Time Made For a Mile to Wagon.

The third and last of the intercity wagon races between Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia horses \vas trot­ ted over 1'imlico track, at Baltimore, June 27. About 2500 people were pres­ ent, 100 from New York and 150 from Philadelphia.

The feature of the racing was the mile of Fred Gerkon's stud, Captain Lyons, who made the world's record to wagon 2.21. He did it easily, and won not only his race but the 2.20 elass cup. He won the same class race in Phila­ delphia last Wednesday. There is a dispute about the three-minute class on account of S. A. Kice, who drove Dukes in New York. He is charged with being n professional driver, but the charge will bo a hard one to prove, and B. r. Fenneman, owner of the course, will now own the cup subject to the decision of the National Board of Ue- view. The horse Dukes was then start­ ed in the 2.30 class. His owner drove him.

James McClenahan's Ressie Clurk won. the 2.30 class in Philadelphia and clinch­ ed the cup by winning here to-day. The double team cup was hotly contested. Gerkeu's team won in Philadelphia and Hiley's team in New York; each got a heat. Nichola' Philadelphia team won the first heat, and was distanced in. the second.

Gerken's team won the final heat and added another race and cup to his credit. The three-minute race was a gift to F. Bower, his mare Komona winning in straight heats. If Kiev is decided a pro­ fessional Mr. Bower will get the original cup. If he is not decided professional a new cup will be made for Mr. Bower. The summaries:
