4 NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1874.—TRIPLE HARLEM AQUATICS Second Annual Regatta of the Har- lem Rowing Association. Macomb’s Dam Bridge Crowded with Spectators. BRIGHT DAY AND SMOOTH WATER. THE WINNERS AND THE PRIZES. The Harlem Rowing Assoctation may be congrat- niated on the successful issue Of their second an- nual regatta, a8 the day was charming, the races Jairiy contested, and the arrangements tolerabdly well carried out. There were several ways to get to the river, but the majority of the spectators made a rush for the five minutes past one o’clock train irom Forty-second street, and were packea into the cars in pretty close order. It was quite | refreshing as one squeezed a passage through the | crowded cars to watch the good attempts of some of the ladies to lcok pleated and comlortable, tortured as they were by the sweltering heat and the Diazing sun that glared throngh the windows. Perhaps if they had known what was coming they would not have preserved such a serene expression on their charming features, but happily they had yet to learn the pleasures in store for them. The freight was dumped out at | 132d street and then there was a delizhtful scramble over innumerable rocks and precipices to | the steamer William Fletcher, which was lying alongside the dock at the west side of the Third | avenue bridge. They were then transported in the Fletcher to Macomb’s Dam bridge and run off on the barge with a kind of one, two, three, bounce that reminded one of a minstrel entertain. | ment, The Fletcher then started back for a fresh cargo. The bridge had already been secured by several hundred spectators and transformed into a species of grand stand, and some of the most ardent ad- murers of aquatic sports had taken up positions in | the trestiework. The boulevard at the back of the | barge, which was moored olf Florence's dock, was | Mued witn carriages, and 200 or 300 people occu- pied the dock and surrounding grounds. The river | looked placid and caim, disturbed occasionally by the wash of some of the steamers that were plying busy passenger trade between Third avenue and the bridge, and innumerable small row boats were flying to and fro, propelled by some eccentric oars- men, wearing very little clothing. ‘The patience of the party on board the barge was very nearly exhausted when at last about four P. M. the welcome news, “They're oi,” was passed along the line. There Wasa rush to the side and | in a few minutes a motley crowd of boats went by the barge, followed by two steamers, and then the ladies Were informed that Mr. Yates had won the heat. They accepted the decision, but were ap- tS chigm considerably mystified at learning the eat was over, as with such @ crowd around the flag boat it was taxing their limited knowledge of aquatics to a rather severe extent to make them —s lap streak from a shell or a working boat ma wherry. The second heat was more inter- esting, as the two contestants came in close to- | gether, but the ladies decided that it | ‘Was a shame to match a big man against | ttle boy. Notwithstanding their protest, the | Dig man won, and he had to be an extra good big | man to do that, as the little boy ts no tyro in the | Sculling art. Alter another single heat there was g@ alight pause in the festivities, during which time at neigege scoured the neighborhood in order | to & glass of ice water for their ladies, as no arrangements for refreshments of any kind had | been made on board the barge. The next event | looked well as the three ,our-oars went flying be } with the red shirts and blue caps about a length | ahead, A hundred opera glasses were levelled on those brown disciples of muscular Christianity, and with a prolonged sigh of admiration the fe- male sex expressed their approval with such ejacuiations as, “Ain’t they nice?’ “How cun- ning!” &c., &c. | The next event was the Ladies’ Challenge Cup | for pair-oars, and proved a very interesting event ag the red shirts and biue caps went by the fag boat a good half length ahead. While awatting the deciding heats for the single sculls, the iadies admired the manly forms of the New York Row- ing C’ub that were resting on their oars after the Jatigue of the race. The opportunity was then taken by some loafing adherents of the Ata- lanta Club to make use of very gross and sulting language of tne kind that | would naturally emanate from a coarse and degraded mind chagrined at being fotled tn some proposed fraud. The members of the New York Rowing Club were gentiemen, and did not pay any attention to the loaters, but, inorder to protect the ladies from their Bowery slang, pulled away down stream. | The disgust of those present was soon dissipated | at the sound, “They’re coming!” ana Mr. Curus shot by, the winner of the diamond scuils for the | second year. Everybody then started for home, and, after some tiresome delays, got on board the | cars and were finally ianded in the city, tured and | rayenous. | | The Racing. } The first prize to be rowed for was the Diamond | Chalienge Scuils, with the presentation medal of ‘the Association, overa course one mile straight- ‘away. The prize was to be rowed [or in heats, the | winners of the heats to row a final one, the victor | in which to hold the diamond badge for one year. | in THE FIRST HEAT T. R. Keator, of the Harlem Club; Frank Yates, of the Athletic Club, and H. W. Peckwell, of the | Dauntless Club, were the contestants. Mr. Peck- | well took Williamson’s place, who had witudrawa, | Pearce, who was to have rowed with Peckwell, | being compelied to withdraw ‘rom the regatta aito- © gether in consequence of a sad affliction in hig family. When the word “go was given Yates | caught the water first and was off like 4 dart, | Keator next and Peckwell last. Yates, who nad the Westchester side of the river, | with Keator in the centre of the stream, puilea a rapid stroke, and was eviuently striving for the jead, but Keator was doing i13 very best and was holding the Western man with | the Slight advantage evea that the latter had got | on vim at the start. There was every prospect of well contested race when Keator “caught a | crab” and ost tully two Loais’ lengths in conse- quence, Nothing dismayed, Tom settled himself down to lis work, and, although he sened the distance with is Op) onent, the advantage Yates | had gained was too much to catch up to before the | Banish. Peckwell, who bad Jalien well bend, still | continued to row on and close up alittie on Keator. | Yates crossed (ne line drst, foliowed by the repre- | sentative o! the Harlem club, | TLE. 8. M.

Curtis, the present holder | of the diamond sculis, aud David koache, of the | Nautilus Ulub, ce betweea the men as they sat in their boat 3 xe subject of umi- versal comment. Curtis’ herculean proportions | contrasted strongly with “Little Davy," who ap- | peared almost an Oarsman in miniature. Wheao ¢ Peckwell... the referee started them Curtis got off first, | Roache, who is usually pretty quick, following. | For the first quarter mile both boats kept com- | any, Curtis leading, ifany. Roache had the New while Curtis had the centre of the river and had every advantage of the tide. When | hal! way over the course the Athietic man led by | Sbout a jength and gave the Nautilus boy his wash, Nearing the barge which was anchored near the end Oo} the course Roache sparted a littie, but, seeing the hopelessness of p13 chance, settled down to lis regular work and came in bellund the winner, TIME. Curtis ..... 610 Roache .. FOUR-OARED RACK. | ‘This race, for Which there were only two con- | testants, was for the Grand Challenge Cup and | Champion Colors Of vue association, with four pre- ) sentation medals, to be rowed over a two-mile, straightaway course. The Atalanta tour and the Gramercy four, Which were entered fur this race, being debarred by the association on account of | oe entered against individual members in th their crews, Were DOt in the race. The two crews which came to the stakeboat to row for the we were those of the Athietic and New York | Rowing Cjabs, The Athletic crew were composed as follows:—R. W, Rathvorn, bow; G. 1. Bro 8. A. Curtis, Jr, 3, and C. H. Cone, stroke. New York Rowing Club crew counted . bow; H. Veirichs, 2; C, H, Leland, 3, and foil, had to shore | ind the Athletics were well in the centre of tue r, The referee sent both boats off together at | e word “Go.” The start was most even, the | oars of both crews catching the water at the same | time. This race, rane ipo ie was % pe $wo | miles in length and to be final. For the first hal Ki tuck” between the two boats, the nicest stroke and in bet- | iF Opponents, who were fast ih stroke and picking up the in or home styie. ring the barge, juarters of @ mile and over from the start, the Athletics gained a slight leaa. The New York: |, and when the boats shot through Macomb’s bridge they were giving their wast to the { | 1 | | | ladies and invited guests in the barouches but there | were about 350 riflemen ali Athletics, The English forgotten or ignored, and the biue and red of tae New Yorks seemed to travet the better and the quicker for the tor- getfuiness, Neither crew was pulling more than twenty-seven strokes to the minute at this stage of the race. From Macomb’s Dam to the Mountain House, half a@ mile wis ie of High Bridge, it was as hotly contested @ race as has been rowed in many @ day. The Athieyec boys were creeping up On their adversary al 44 stroke, but the steering was wretched; and ti ad more to be wondered at when tit is remembered that few oarsmen on the river know tt b than Rathborn, the bow oar of the Athietics. When ofthe Mountain House the Athletics’ boat came in contact with the New Yorks’. The New York had the lead at the time, and the foul which was claimed by the New York crew was allowed. The Trace was, however, continued to Hi end of the course, and to the New Yorks was the Victory awarded. ‘Time—New York crew, 12m. 13s, ; Athletic crew, 12m, 188, THE PAIR OARED RACR. This promtsed to be the great event of the day. ‘The prize to be rowed for was the Ladies’ Chal- lenge Plate, with two presentation medals, The course one mile straightaway. The ,oarsmen in this struggle were F. G. Brown aod John A. Walker, of the Nassaus: Wilbur Bacon and Frank Ellison, of the New York Bowing Club, and EB. B. Pmkney and J. W. Arthur, of the Harlem Club, The New Yorks were stationed on the east Shore, with the Harlems in the centre and the Nassaus of the west side. At the word they all started off together, ‘and in the first couple of pinieed arcs completely Snook off the light crew of the Harlems, Bacon, in the New York boat, was pulling his prettiest and strongest at about thirty-eignt to the minnte, and Waiker, in the Nassau boat, was cutting out equaliy nice work for his partner. For a time the New Yorks had a good lead of a length, when the Nassaus spurted and shortened the distance until the two boats were bow and bow. Finer das it would be difficult to see. Form, finish, style and swing were perfect. The race was so close when the boats reached the iadies’ barge that tne cheering was tremendous from the crowds on the banks of the Tiver. Near the finish Bacon “put on the beet't @nd the Nassaus responded with equal alacrity, and so they continued to the end of the course, when the Mg fell on as hotly a contested race as was ever rowed on the Harlem. So ciose were the boats at the finish that the referee declared tt a pene heat and ordered the race to be rowed over again, TIME. Both boats. Sanit wapnue THE FINAL H8AT FOR THE DIAMOND Was the neXt and last race on the programme. In this William B. Curtis and Frank Yates, the winners of the previous heats, and both members of the Athietic Club, were brought to measure oars, Cur- | us got of first, Yates no way slow to linger. | Though both men pulled splendidly it was plainly | to be seen that the Samson of amateur oarsmen was going to have things his own way. Yates’ boat never reached the Washbox of Curtis’ shell, and in this, as in nis previous heat, he proved the winner, Curtis.....e..se0.. MS seer OT CONCLUSION. This brought the second annual regatta to a close. Owing to a misunderstanding, Mr. ‘Roosevelt, the reieree, ordered the dead heat between the Nas- saus and New Yorks to be rowed over again. No oficial notification having reached the New York crew to that effect, no further action was taken at that me, It was subsequently ascertained that the power to order the race to be rowed over again did not rest with the referee, but with the Execn- tive Board of the Harlem Regatta Association, Which will meet to-day and decive the question.

The Nineteenth Annual Gathering of German Marksmen at = Schuetzen Park. Yesterday morning at half-past ten o'clock, Mayor Havemeyer and the Common Council revieved at the City Hall, ninety parouche loads of riflemen | uniformed in dark green blouses trimmed with | gold, who belong to the New Yorker Schuetzen | corps, under the command of Captain Join F, Rottmann. They were on their way to the Seven- | teenth annnal Schuetzenfest, which began at the Sehuetzen Park, at Homestead station, on the Northern road of New Jersey. There were some told who rode to the festival The Schuetzen corps left their headquarters at No. 24 Market street, in this city, at pine o’clock, and, after being reviewed, rode in their barouches to the Park, at which place | they arrived in good order at haif-past twelve o'clock. Immediately after their arrival they dis- cussed, with Uhe appetites of hungry men, an ex- cellent iunch and at one o'clock target shooting began and jasted without intermission until six o’clock in the evening, when a smail cannon was fired om to signify that firing must cease, The manner of firing and keeping score at Schuetzen Park would astonish the boys at Creedmoor to some extent, Each gallant Schuetzen fires from a | rest and there are two targets, One 1s calied the “man target,” and was represented the trunk and head of a man, painted black, with horizontai es Tanning through the body, A shooter can- not make more than fify points on the man target nO matter how much he shoots, and he fires five shots in succession, for the privtiege of which he buys @ ticket valued at $2, and then takes his place im @ stall, which nas a board rest as high as the rifleman’s cheat in addition toa wooden rest or | etter | h Bridge, the | | given in the Fe: | by the Philadelphians alter a close contest, the score standing five to four. | the close as iollows:— Players.

This has been a lively day for Bridgeport, partic- ularly for the German element, which 1s large and | last increasing, it being the first day of the annual | shooting festival of the Connecticut Shooting | Association, more familiarly known as the State Schuetzeniest, It will continue three days. | Most of the German residences and stores were beautifully adorned with evergreens and natural | flowers, and everywhere could be seen the flags of | Germany and our own national emblem entwincd or floating in the breeze. By the morning trains delegations from New Haven, Hartiord, Meriden and New Britain, also | invited guests from New York and elsewhere ar- rived. They were met at the depot by the Bridge- | port society’s committee aud a band of music and were escorted to Turn Verein Hall, where a coila- tion had been prepared. By invitation His Houor Mayor Clarke visited the ball, and iu an ADDRESS OF WELCOME said, “This {8 @ country In which there 1s a great deal of hard work done; the Germans do their full | share O1 it, and therelore it is only right that they should have an occasional interval of leisure. He | hoped this little play speli would ao them all good. Very likeiy they would not all get the first prize in shooting—that never hap- pened, he believed, even among Germans, though a8 a nation they were pretty good shooters. But however that might be, they had his best wishes that every one oi them might secure a first prize | of rich ‘enjoyment and increased health and | vigor. ‘The Mayor was accorded three rousing cheers for his kind address, ween line was formed and the entire body marched to the park of the Bridgeport Schuetzen-Vereio, tn West | Stratford, mear the city. This park was purchased py the sharpshooters of this city last year and fitted up witha fine rife range. It has many bDatural advantages. The exercises vo-day were mostly preliminary bat ali interesting. The principal shooting Of the three day's meeting Witt be done to-morrow. THE NATIONAL GAME. A Close Contest Between the Athletic and Atlantic Clubs, The game between the Athletic and Atlantic (lubs on the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon | attracted but about 200 spectators, and was won The weather was in- tensely bot, which fact doabtless kept many away | who would otherwise have attended. The batting was weak on both sides, the Athletics making seven and the Atlantics eight Orst vase hits, but it was in the field that the Brooklyn party lost the | game, Farrow, Knowdell and Ferguson making | eaci bad errors at critical points. In the second | inning the Athletics got in three runs, and took one in both the fourth and filth innings, bringing | | their score up to a tota! of five, while the Atlantica had not scored a singie run. For the sixta inning, | however, the ‘“‘Magentas” put two runs to their | account and, blanking the Philadelphia party trom the flith inning to the close, and putting on two | more in the last inning, left tue score standing at ATLANTIC.

Yesterday was an unusually dull day at the pound. The arrest of Captain Marriott on Satur- day seemed to have dampened the ardor of the itinerant dog merchants of the city, as but elghty- | five of the owneriess canines were presented in exchange for the customary fifty cents. The grim, lynx-eyed officer of the Socicty for the Prevention of Crueity to Animals was there a8 usual closely watching every movement of the reloubtable Marriott ashe walked hither and thither among his dumb wards, seemingly conscious of Aldermanic protection. The Poundmaster stated that the new arrangements for asphyxiation will prove satisfactory.

The pictures in the art school are attracting considerable attention. The exnibition will continue for several weeks and will undoubtedly be a sttccess, for nO pains or expense nas been spared to make it so. PRINCETON COLLEGE. Yesterday’s Proceedings—The Presenta- tion Address—Names of the Senior Class=The Promenade Concert Last Night. PRINCETON, June 22, 1874. Te class day exercises of.the class of 1874 of Princeton College are over. As 1 write these lines the strains of Dodworth’s band, at the promenade concert in the college campus, bring to my win- dow tne deligntiul melodies of Offenbach’s *Orphée | aux Enfers.” As {take an occasional glance be- neath the umbrageous foliage of the trees, tlum- nated as these almost sacred and classic branches isis a | are by an artificial light that gives the appear- | ance of a midnight bali at Central Park, with- | out the revelry, I see group after group of happy faces and hear a male and chorus of itaughter that banisnes care away aod emphasizes so prettily the memory of the happy day that has known no cloud. In the morning early the gymuasium was well filled by college boys, who were desirous of dis- | tinguishing themselves in athletic sports, and the | Performances showed that Princeton cultivates | muscle as well as mind, Mr. George Parmley ex- cited the wonder of the spectators by Iiting with one hand a man weighing 140 pounds, and pre- sented tn himself, as he bowed to the plaudits that followed this jeat, a physique that was the wonder of the men and the admiration of the ladies. Lyon, Bergner and Sheldon showed their ability on the double trapeze; and Chisolm, Pigeon, Boyd and | Smith, Biddle, Marquand and Walker were de- clared the victors at the horizontal oars. The re- | sult of these gymnastic exercises and athletic sports has won renown for the professor of phy- ical culture under whose training the young men have prepared themselves ior these trials of strength, EXERCISES IN THE CHURCH. At eleven o’clock the Second Presbyterian church was crowded with an audience oi students and their iriends. Dr. McUosh, in a short speech sparkling with good feeling and _ hearty welcome, retlected the past and the fu- ture of Princeton College. He heartily and | thoroughly recommended the Princeton boys to the unmarried jadies, and said that they needed no other endorsement to qualify them tor oecom- ing the happiest and most prosperous of husbands, The ladies appeared to receive this asa very privileged communication and one that was worthy of subsequent reflection. The Doctor's speech was a happy prelude to the day's more serious excercises and struck a note of harmony that did not get discordant ag the hours rolled away. Mr. Charles H. Bergner delivered the salutatory; Mr. Walter D. Nicholas, the class oration; Mr. William F, Henney, the class poem; Mr. Edward M. Deema, the memorial ora- tion, and Mr, Alexander ©. Crawford gave a his- | tory of the class, A class ode was sung by the class—words by Mr. William F, Henney—after which the benediction was pronounced by the president Of the colloze. CANNON EXERCISES. Around the weil known cannon, a relic of the Rey- Olutionary War, was an amphitheatre of seats, which seats at four o’clock were filled by mascu- line and womanly beauty, with here and there the Jace O1@ sober, staid, gray-Maired and reverend professor, standing out ag an indication that life had its shady as well us its sunny days. The students were indelatigable in pro- moting the comfort of their iriends, and though there was at one time so great a pressure upon tne wooden structure as by the breakage of one of the upper seats to precipitate suddenly, and with. | Out the slightest indication of a warning, several gentlemen and two or thiee ladies on the green sward below, no accident occurred, and with the exception of @ little shaking the ladies and gentic- men who performed tis unexpected athletic ex- ercise were very little the worse for It.

Trustees of Essex county, N.
