Thus It can readily be seen that the National1 Association, which has the Job of raising the funds to send the winning crews to Paris, is making no objections to the result.

Three crews lined up to the starting mark for the final heat of the Paris four oared shells the Wachusetts Rowing winner of the' first trial heat on Thursday; the Vesper Boat Club, winner of the second trial heat Friday, and the Institute Boat Club four, which reached the final heat by virtue of there being three entries and 6tarters in the second trial. Ten Eyck's crew drew the speedaway shore, the Institute Boat Club the Westchester side of the river and the Vespers had to be content with the middle position.

The tug Mattie, coming down the river with a loaded tow, struck the starting point about 2:10 and caused a brief delay. Some time was also taken by Ten Eyck protecting about the line up. At exactly 2:23 the starter's pistol sounded and they were oft to an even break. And now occurred the surprise of the day. The Wachusetts.

stroked by Ten Eyck, instead of springing into the lead, at once dropped back into third position, the Vespers assuming the lead, trailed by the Institutes. At the quarter mile there was clear water between the Vespers and Institutes, the Quakers rowing a beautiful long stroke, while the Wachusetts were pulling up on the Newark men. The positions remained the same at the half, the Vespers having increased their lead to a length and a quarter. At the mile Ten Eyck's powerful stroke had put the Worcester crew on even terms with the Institutes. For the remaining 253 yards Wachusett made every effort to catch the flying Quakers, but it was useless, and the Vespers crossed the line two lengths ahead of the New Englanders.

A length of clear water separated the Wachusetts and the Institutes. It was a pretty race and was won by the best crew. The time of the Wachusetts was 5:19 and that of the Institutes 5:24. ASSOCIATION SINGLES: FINAL HEAT. "Won by Frank B.

James Bond of the Bachelor's Barge Club, Philadelphia, was put out of the second heat yesterday by a lathe catching in the fin ot his shell, and thus impeding his progress. The judges therefore, allowed him to row in the final.

Marsh, the Canadian sculler, drew the New York shore, with Greer, Titus, Kubick and Bond in the order named. The starting gun boomed at 2:52. Bond was off in the lead and at the 100 yard mark the order was Bond, Kubick, Titus, Greer and Marsh, exactly the reverse of the numbers carried by the scullers. Before the half mile mark was reached it developed into a three cornered race between Greer, Marsh and Titus. These three fought it out stubborly, Greer gradually drawing away and winning by two lengths from Marsh.

Titus was a length and a half away, while Bond was last, rowed out, over by the Westchester shore. The lime. breaks the record for a mile and a hah' of 8:44 held by G. T. Laing, a Canadian, and made in 1SS3.

The times of the second, third and fourth men were 8:24. and respectively, all finishing inside the record, a remarkable coincidence. INTERMEDIATE SINGLE SHELLS: FINAL EAT. "Won by F. Demourelli.

Word has come from England that Richard Croker is a devotee of golf, which is not only royal and ancient, but fascinating to all its devotees. On account of the popular disposition to laugh at golf as a mere dude's diversion. Mr. Croker has done all he could to keep secret his fondness for the game, but the secret has escaped in spite of all his efforts. "Mr.

Croker." said a friend of his lately, "used to get up early in the morning when he was down at Lakewood and go out to practice on the links. Probably not more than three of his most intimate friends knew that he was dabbling with the game. He did fairly well with the wooden club, but he was best in approaching and putting. His work with the cleek and the midiron was nothing to brag about." American Golf. DU BY A NARROW WIN.

A stiff south wind was blowing, with a heavy sea, making good weather conditions. The course was again a triangle, but in reverse order to the former races, and with the first leg a beat.

Mineola and Rainbow jockeyed for position at the start, Mineola getting so much the better of it that Rainbow lost the wind somewhat. After they had kept well together for awhile Mineola drew ahead and split tacks, standing over to the west shore, then running away from all the other boats and reaching the first mark weli ahead. On the run to the second mark Rainbow gained all she had lost. She carried a larger club topsail than the others. After gybing, she easily went past Mineola and took first place, having the race well in hand at the end of the first complete round.

On turning the lightship Rainbow went off on the starboard tack, while Mineola took the port for the west shore, where she got a better wind. When they came together. Mineola had the weather position. Yankee and Virginia also made up some time and were rapidly overhauling the leaders. At th outer mark Rainbow could not round without tacking, though Captain Parker pinched her to the limit.

When almost at the mark he shot her up into the wind, but she failed to fall off to go arouDd, until the head sails were hauled to windward. This lost nearly a minute for Rainbow. On the next leg all four boats carried No. 1 jib top sails, except Yankee, which sent up her balloon jib topsail and took in her other head sails, thereby gaining a great advantage. The reach to the finish line was a procession, with no change in position, except that Yankee continued to gain, and finally slipped in ahead on elapsed time, although actually finishing third, Virginia bringing up the rear.

Chicago, July 21 Sidney Lucas did not complete his laurel wreath this afternoon, as his owners confidently expected him to do. In fact, he did not even get inside the money in the Wheeler Handicap, in which a flue field started.

It was The Roman who did the laurel gathering a despised outsider, whose chances were considered so slim that the books did not hesitate to lay odds of 12 to 1 against hhn. Pink Coat, on whom there was a strong tip out. was the one to fight for the race in a heart breaking finish, in which The Roman's nose stood in such good stead. By the narrow margin of a few inches. T.

After three days of ideal racing weather, the twenty eighth annual regatta ol the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen America came to a most successful finish yesterday afternoon on the Harlem River. Despite the perfect conditions which existed for the final day's sport, the racing was hardly up to the level which one would set for the culmination of an event of such national importance as was this year's amateur regatta. Although the sport yesterday was excit ing and full of interest to the spectators, two unfortunate events marred the day. For some unaccountable reason Edward Han Ian Ten Eyck refused to start in the final heat of the championship single shells, in which he was to row again against John umohr, the Metropolitan champion sculler, and, as a result, Rumohr won the event by default and at the same time annexed the title of champion amateur sculler of America. Two Unfortunate Incidents Mar the Day's Sport.

To say that Ten Eyck's action was looked upon with disfavor by the management of the regatta and the public in general, would, be putting it far too mildly. After having beaten Rumohr yesterday in a contest which smacked altogether too much of the professional oarsman, it was the opinion of everybody that Ten Eyck would come out to day and row a square race against Rumohr, in which the best sculler would carry off the palm. Instead of doing this, Ten Eyck, satisfied with having won the honor of representing America at Paris in the singles, withdrew entirely from the race, knowing full well that the championship, which would go to Rumohr by his withdrawal, would be but a hollow one and would carry with it neither glory nor satisfaction. Not only was the action of the former champion sculler ungenerous toward the national association, but also toward his plucky opponent of Friday. John Rumohr.

When Rumohr topped rowing in his race with Ten Eyck rather than strike the Worcester oarsman's shell, he showed a spirit of sportsmanship which Ten Eyck scarcely reciprocated yesterday. The second disappointment in yesterday's programme occurred in the event for intermediate four oared shells. This race was scheduled to be decided in one heat and had three entries, the Harlem Rowing Club, the Detroit Boat Club and the Nassau Boat Club, when it came time for the start, the Harlem four, although they had been for some time on the river, failed to line up at the mare, ana, arter waiting for them for fifteen minutes the race was started without them. Thus considerable local interest was lost, i Nor was this the worst of the race. Nassau struck a hot clip and was closely followed by tne Detroit tour to within a quarter of a mile of the finish.

At this point the Westerners went to pieces on account of their stroke collapsing and losing his oar. Nassau, which was also very tired, likewise quit rowing and started for the shore, while cries of "no race" were heard on all sides. Finally the judges' boat came along and sent the then revived Nassaus over the remainder of the course to a victory which they but illy deserved. On the whole, it was by far the most unsatisfactory race of the whole regatta. So much for the unpleasant features of the day.

There was much of more than passing interest to offset these trivial unpleasantnesses. 20,000 Spectators "Witnessed the Races. The crowd was the largest of the regatta lid lined both banks of the river. Probably Jfpward of ''twenty thousand people witnessed Ihe races. The grand stands were not as popular as the Association would liked to have seen them, but nevertheless many of them were well filled.

On the heights which overhang the course was a great assemblage of people who enjoved the race with a keen relish and applauded the winners with zest. As to whether the speedway course, however, is all that it is cracked up to be for holding such an event as a national re atta there are grave doubts in the minds of many who have witnessed the racing of the last three days. The course is narrow, therefore ideal from the spectator's point of view, but not so much so for the oarsmen. Again, it is extremely fiuky, which fact, added to the strong tide which sweeps down the river, makes it far from perfection for such an event. In fact, there was much talk yesterday of the advisability of holding the future national regattas in smooth water.

This would seem to ba an excellent idea. As for arrangements, however, too much praise cannot be given to the local regatta committee of the Harlem Racing' Association, which had the management of the regatta In hand. Every datall was arranged beforehand and the events were pulled off with a precision well nigh wonderful when all the obstacles are taken into consideration. Ten Eyck's Four Outclassed. The surprise of the day came in the first event on the programme, the final of the Paris fours.

So sure were the Wachusett four with Ten Eyck and Lewis as stroke and bow' respectively, of going to Paris, that it was thought to be all over but the cheering. The Vespers, however, showed a wonderful turn of speed and beat the New Englanders without any apparent effort. In fact. Ten Eyck's men had their hands full to cross the line ahead of the four of the Institute Boat Club of Newark. There was also a surprise in store for those who thought they knew in the final heat of the intermediate single shells.

T. B. Nial of the Laureate Boat. Club of Troy and Fred J. Greer of the Jeffries' Point R.

A. of East Boston were equal favorites for this event but they were both forced to succumb to Demourelli of the Young Men's Gymnastic Club of New Orleans, who took the coveted championship back with him to the Bayou State. Favorites Win Two Events. In the final heat of the Intermediate doubles, the Crescents of Philadelphia, the etrong favorites, were never headed and wno aS they pleasea, Wnue me aiu5 muj un uiu in substance of the Vespers of Philadelphia in the race for Paris eights, although the Bohoes, after fouling the Knickerbockers at the mile mark, made a gallant effort to head the flying Quakers. The result of yesterday's races gives the Vespors ot Philadelphia the palm of the regatta plums, in that they won both the Paris four oared and eight oared races, thus securing a chance to carry the Red, White and Bluo to victory in two events at the International Regatta on the Seine.

Ten Eyck wins the Paris singles and the trip to the French capital, while Ten Eyck and Lewis, the crack double of the Wachusett Club, will represent America in the doubles, no pair oar being found which had the nerve to compete against this powerful team. Vesper and Wachusetts Capture All the Paris Plums. It will thus bo seen that the Wachusett Boat Club of Worcester and the Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia secured between them all the Paris events. While this. In some ways, is not desirable, in others it is extremely gratifying, as the expense of sending the four crews to Paris Is thus immeasurably lessoned.

All four of the Vesper's four oar row on the eight, thus saving the expense of four extra men. while btck rows double with his club mate. MICHAEL'S WORLD'S RECORD The Little Welshman Beats Mc Farland atWoodside Park in a Twenty Mile Race. COOPER MAKES A MARK, ALSO. In a Mile Match at Washington He Does 1:58 3 4 Against Stevens and Eaton.

Philadelphia, July 21 The last of a series of three motor paced races between Jimmy Michael and Floyd McFarland took place today on the Woodside Pari track, and was won by Michael in 31 minutes 41Vi seconds, the distance being twenty miles. This breaks the world's twenty mile record of 31:55 1 5, made by Harry Elkes. on Berkeley Oval. October lli. 1S00.

The first of the three races was won by McFarland on the Woodside track. July 4, and another match took place last Saturday at Manhattan Beach, New York, Michael winning after McFarland's pacing machine had broken. To day's race was to decide the championship of the world, aud it was a gruelling ride from times indicate. start to finish, as the Washington, July 21 Only three professional riders, Tom Cooper. Orlando Stevens and Jay Eaton, appeared for to day's races at the International Athletic Park.

These riders agreed to ride a match of three one third mile heats and try for the one mile competition world's record, which was recently lowered by Ivor Lawson.

This they did, crossing the line a winner, in lVi The Detroits also pulled themselves together and rowed down across the finish line. On the whole the race "was a farce and could have been easily won by the Harlems.

The Vespers of Philadelphia, winners of the American senior eight oared championship on Thursday, were strong favorites for the honor of representing America at Paris and otitis of. 30 to 10 were freely offered on the Vespers against the field by the 'Philadelphia contingent. Millstreanis declined the issue, leaving the Vespers, Bohemians and Knickerbockers to fight it out between fhem. After jockeying for some time at the starting mark, the three eights were off to a fair start at 5:31. The Knickerbckers spurted at once and for two hundred yards led by half a length.

Then the Vespers settled down to the stroke which was destined to take them to victory, and at the quarter the Philadelphians were leading by half a length, with the Knickerbockers second and the Bohoes third. At the half mile the Vespers had the lead by almost a clear length, and the Bohemians had taken second place from the Cherry Diamonds. The Bolioes now spurted for all there was in them, at the same time crossing over and taking the Knickerbocker's water. In so doing they fouled the Cherry Diamond crew. At the mile the locals had pulled up on the Quakers, who were only half a length to the good.

It began to look as if the Bohoes had a chance, as the fact that they had fouled the Knickerbockers was not yet known to the spcctalors. The Bohemians, however, had shot their bolt and were never able to get any nearer to the Vespers, who won. crossing the finish line in beautiful stroke and swing by a length and a half. Three lenths separated the Knickerbockers from the Bohemians. The race was well rowed and as pretty an exhibition of an eight oared contest as one will often see.

The Philadelphia contingent went wild over their crew's victory, and well they might, for they had won a barrel of money, as the tempting odds of three to one, which Ihe Quakers offered against the field, found many takers. A MOONLIGHT FOURSOME. Many years ago a very remarkable foursome was played at Hoylake, the outcome of a discussion and challenge tit one of the monthly competitions. The match was to be played after dinner on a certain Saturday evening, and was to consist of six holes. A star! wits made about 9 o'clock, with a brilliant moon and atmosphere so still that il ivn.

At the half mile" Greer had a bare lead, but the race was anybody's at this juncture. Soon after this Demourelli crossed over into Nial's water, but thought better of the move and returned to the middle course.

The double of the Crescent Boat Club of Philadelphia was a strong favorite in the betting on the final heat of the intermediate doubles. Nevertheless there were those who were willing to back the Unions on account of their excellent showing In the first trial heat on Thursday.

The Quakers showed that they merited the confidence placed in them, tor they were away first to a perfect start and were never even pressed, winning, paddling by seven lengths.
