Ellis Ward Seized with Vertigo and Drops His Oars. Biglin Quietly Rows Over the Course and Secures the Stakes. ‘Ti2E RUNNING MEN. Competitors in Training for the Bennett Challenge Cup. SPRinoPrELy, Mass., Jniy 15, (873, ‘The great annual race, in which Young America ‘meets in honorable competition for the champion- ship of the oar, will, in anoiner iorty-eight hours, be an event of the past, leaving a rememorance never to be forgotten by the victorious six or the other galtant hearts that manned the college shells in the contest on the Connecticut River on July '73. THE BIGLIN-WARD “‘SPILL.” ‘The acquatic festivai proper commenced to-day “with che match between John Biglin and Elits Ward for $1,000, an event which attracted a large dele- gation of the sporting element irom New York and its environs. The interest in the match was, how- ever, (s00n over, as, after rowing a mile, Ellis Ward was attacked by a rush of blood to the head and had to stop pulling, leaving John Biglin a walk over for the stake. N#W ABRIVALS. The town looked unusually lively this morning and @ mere glance at the beaming countenances ofthe hotel keepers told a tule suggestive of a shakedown on the dining room table. The morn- ing trains from New York and Boston brought a large batch of fresh arrivals of a heterogeneous order, These were samples of the paterfamilias who bad come to see ‘my boy” water his maiden oar; sister Fanny, who had journeyed hundreds of miles to watch the pedes- trian efforts of “Jack” in tae two-mile foot race for the Bennett Challenge Cup, and the “put up or shat up” New York sport, with a wad of green- backs to invest on Biglin at the market price. They all looked happy and excited until face to face with tne hotel clerk, who, alter frowning them down to aproper state of subjection, proceeded to furnish them with accommodation M88 FANNY AND PATERPAMILLAS, with proper foresight, had engaged rooms a week ahead, but the unfortunate sport had to take choice of a shakedown in the parior or a cot in the dining room. Every hotel, boarding house, .&c., 1s fail, and many peopie have gone a little dis- tance out of town to secure accommodations. Everybody in businesss in Springficid has a face, because everybody in Spring- field is turning over the almighty doilar to advantage in some way or the other. Carriages are in great demand, and everything on wheels has been rigged up to answer the de- mand. The starting point o! the course is at least two miles from the hotels by the shortest route across the ferry and the grand stand opposite the Ginish of the big race at least five miles distant. Therefore, as the owners of vehicles and quad- rupeds are well aware of the objections of the American public to pedestrian exercise prices have us. A VISIT TO THE AGAWAM SIDE. Yesterday morning, a{ter a good breakfast, I interviewed the hotel clerk and through his kind offices obtained a horse and wagon, which carried me safely across the Agawam ferry and down the road to the quarters oi the different crews. There was a kind of festival look about that section of the country, at least a stranger would naturally imagine, from the number of booths, fpodawater stanas, barrels, &c., ‘that lined the highway, that either an election or some other national festival was about to take place. I halted finally at the Dartmouth quarters, andsaw the “giants” sprawling about on the grass, looking quite harmless and playful. A boat- ing friend of mine came up and said they were in splendid form, fit to pull for a million. A BIPED EXAIBITION. I sald I thought so, and walked over to see ome curiosity that about fifty spectators had completely surrounded and hid from view. John Bigiin comprised the deadhead show, and very complacentiy he bore the adulation of his admir- ers, who felt all over, reminding one of a dutoher trading for a steer. { left my quadruped tied to a rail and went aboard the steam yacht Clyde on a little excur- sion over the course. A number of the crews were practising, and 1 had the pleasure of watching the Cornell, Williams, Wesleyan, Aggies, Dartmouth, Columbia, Amherst and Trinity crews taking their morning exercise. The water was in gooa order ‘and the crews appeared to be doing well, especially ‘the Aggies, Dartmouth and Wesleyan crews. ‘HE RIVER 1S VERY SHALLOW in some places, and although we only drew three feet of water the Clyde managed to scrape bottom on several occasions. The banks of the river are marked off with flag posts indicating the half miles slong the course, and the Harvard boys have raised a telegraph wire with stations at each mile. This wire will inform the occupants of the grand stand of the position of the crews at each half-mile post by means of a large black board, on which the messages will be chalked up. The gentlemen stationed at each half-mile post will also signal with flags when the first boat crosses the line between them and the flag on the other side of the river, In fact everything has been done to afford the spectators full details and particulars of the race. COLLISION BETWEEN THE AMHERSTS AND COLUMBIAS. During the morning an unfortunate collision took place between the shells of the Columbia and Amherst colleges, inflicting a severe wound on Mr. Edward 8. Rapello, puiling No. 3 in the Colum- bia boat, and smashing up ten feet of the bow of the Amherst crew’s shell. The Amherst crew will now have to pull in the freshmen’s boat, and it is very doubtful whether Mr. Rapello will be able to occupy his seat in the Columbia boat on Thursday. OFF TO THE BIGLIN RACE. Ireturned to town about noon and found the spectators busy at work canvassing the Bigtin and Ward race, that was set for half-past two P, M. Biglin was @ decided favorite, and although his backers offered two to one there were very few takers at that price. After dinner everybody started forthe river, and then I became initia- ted into one of the advantages the OCon- necticut River can claim as @ regatta course. There is ® charming ferry to be crossed, and as the ferryboat can only accommodate four or five vehicles at a time, and it takes twenty minutes to make a trip, only fifteen carriages can cross in an hor ‘There were about one hundred carriages on the West side of the river yesterday at a comparatively uninteresting race, so Iventure to predict @ very lively time on that aforesaid ferryboat on Thursday, unless everybody has the good sense to go round by the bridge, which, although about two or three miles’ longer drive, will avoid the necessity of insurance against accidents and a block of about two or three hours’ duration, SPECTATORS ON THE BANKS. I will now return to the Ward and Biglin race, as, ‘Lam happy to state, that the perusal ofa short Obituary novice nas for the time sentenced the Survey of the Course |- —TRIPLE SHERT. T rr THE INTER-COLLEGIATE COURSE. Map Showing the Connecticut River Near Springfield, with the Boarding Places and Boat Houses of the College Crews. 7 .susHWy THE COURSE AND HOW TO GET TO IT. In view of the great interest in the Inter-Col- legiate Regatta the HakaLD presents to-day the accompanying map of tho Connecticut River above and below the city of Springfeld, Mass., showing the coorse over which the college race is to be rowed to-morrow, the location of the boarding houses and boat houses of the eleven crews en- tered for the contest and the railroads and local thoroughiares by which the general spectator can reach the starting point. A glance at this map will show that at Springfleld the Connecticut rans nearly north and south, The scenery along the river banks from Chicopee on the north to Long- meadow on the south of the city is of the most variable and lovely description, the trees and undergrowth in many places reaching to the water’s edge, while here and there the tiny ripples indicate to the observer the shallow portions, where the water courses slowly over the stones 4nd otner obstructions in the river bed, On the east of the river, from the depot of the Now Haven and Boston and Albany Railroads to Thompson are many points of vantage {rom which the course can be seen, though the high binff, extending from Longmeadow station, nas hitherto been the chief aim of the spectators from this side. To the visitor desirons of witnessing the atroggie from the West Springfield or Agawam side there arc many ways by which he can reach the western bank. He can either cross over the wooden covered bridge, a few hundred yards to the south of the Boston and Al- bany depot, passing through a portion of the freight-receiving yard—on foot or in any vehicle suited to his taste—or he can take the cars down Main street and cross over by the Agawam ferry, or engage a boat or othe: special craft to convey him across, The covered bridge is represented on the map by the white space immediately to the south of the railroad bridge, connecting with the Boston and Atbany depot. The ferry connects the east side just below Mill River, with Agawan village on the opposite bank. As there are a great number ot boats plying along the banks on racing days there will be no diMculty fn obtaining transportation of that kind to tiose desirous of paying considerably for the privilege. Indeed, email boat houses line the river for a long distance out of town. Of course all passengers arriving from the South by the New Haven route will land at Longmeadow station, in olose proximity to the ferry, Ater landing on the west side by the ferry a straight road leads along the entire length of the course to the end. The grand stand is erected near the end of the College course, siightly to the east of the road and quite close to the water. Passen- gers arriving from the Kast and North, via the Bos- ton and Albany Railroad, and crossing the bridge above named, will have come two and a half miles further to travel beiore reaching the Grand Stand; but on auch days there is no need to inquire the way, as ® continuat*stream of vehicles and pedos- trians leads to the points of starting and finishing. It wiil be seen by the map that nine of the eleven crewa have their quarters on the west side, Yale being the most northern, Bowdoin next, the Amherst Agricuiturals, Columbia, Williams, Dartmouth and Amherst University next, while the Wesleyan and Trinity men hold ont near the end of the course. Cornell and Harvard have their houses on the opposite side, The small square nearest to the name of each college represents the location of the house where tne men board and sleep. The conical-shaped buildings, with fags on top, nearest to the river, show the spots where the boats are kept and the floats from which the men start for practice. The distance between the lines “start” and “finish.” plaintive strains of “Maxwelton’s Braes are Bon- nie” extracted from an instrument by some musical student beneath the windows of the HERALD’s headquarters, The largest portion of the spectators took up positions on the west side ofthe river at different points from in front of the quar ters of the Williams’ College crew, to a point within half a mile of the Grand Stand, opposite where the stakeboat was moored. The majority of the crowd were located at the Williams headquarters, where they could see the start and finish, watch the pool-selling operations and indulge in small beer, ginger ale, sarsaparilla, peanuts and the other luxries of the season. There ‘was also a large delegation of the New York friendy and admirers of John Biglin. Ellis Ward lay off during the morning at the Amhers, headquarters, attended by his party, who all appeared very anxious about the state of the river. THE REFEREE ORDERS A START. At 2:30 P. M, the water was declared too rough by the Ward party, although Biglin said he was ready to go ata moment's notice, The referee, Commo- dore Benjamin Brady, after waiting for a coupie ot hours without finding the water become any smoother ordered the men to be at the starting point at 5:30 P. M. This decision seemed to please everybody, except one individual who had just contracted for the use of a booth occupied by a vender of ginger beer, custard, pie and popcorn, from the hours of six to nine A.M. The enterprising speculator had calculated upon furnishing lodging for about twenty or thirty indiv.duals, at $1 per head, who, if the Tace was postponed, would probably remain to see itout. Shortly after five P. M. Commodore Brady made a trip over the course in the Clyde, and, feeling satisfied that the water was fo a fit condition for rowing, came back to the starting point and found both men paddling about, waiting orders. Everybody now became interested, and the western bank of the river was lined with eager faces. The pool seller availed himself of the opportunity, and, during the excitement, succeeded in selling a few pools at the Tate of about 100 to 50 on Biglin. THR START. At 5:52:10 P.M. the men were started, Biglin being inshore. Ward was quickest getting off, and soon obtained a lead of about a boat's length, which he maintained for about half a mile, when Biglin began to creep up, and, crossing his wake, came upon the east side and collared the Cornwall representative opposite the mile flag. BLLIS WARD GIVES OUT. Ellis then seemed to make another effort to hold the lead, but, failing, dropped his oars and stopped work. The Clyde immediately came up alongside, took him on board and conveyed him to the Am- herst quarters, where a doctor was called. The medica) practitionist said that Ellis had been seized with a species of vertigo, which, for the moment, had @ blinding effect, accompanied by a dizziness in the head, It was, however, not any serious illness. BIGLIN PULLS OVER THE COURSE. John Biglin, in the meantime, pulled quietly over the course, making the five miles in forty-six min- utes and fifty-six seconds. Immediately after John’s arrivala grand rush was made for town and a block at the ferry boat. THE ROWING MEN Are all doing well, and I intend taking them in hand to-morrow, having had practical experi- ence in pedestrian feats in the lava beds. There will probably be six competitors for the Bennett Challenge Cup. Mr. G. F. Dudley, of Cornell, en- tered this evening, and takes nis first spin rouna the track to-morrow. ‘THE HEAT. The Third Hottest Day of the Season. It was very fortunate that we had a breeze yes- terday, else tired nature would have certainly given way. It is certainly true that on the whole we have had it mild, but when it does come it takes sweet vengeance for letting us off so easy, .On Monday the thermometer registered 95 degrees, and yesterday, in spite of the breeze which pre- vailed, it went up to 92 degrees, a figure which made Manhattan swelter and sweat. The heat, in fact, only did one good thing—that is, furnishing @ subject for conversation for those who never have anything to say. For the unfortunate portion of the population which had to work physically the day was, indeed, a terrible one, and it seems a it wonder that more casvaities did not occur. jowever, if the thermometer should continue in the high regions We sball, no doubt, have plenty of them soon. Let us pray, however, that it may moderate. Cases of itroke. James Dilling, aged thirty, of 608 West Thirty- sixth street, Was overcome by the heat yoster- day, and taken to the Bellevue Hospital.
