4 HE WATKINS REGATTA, ———— A Brilliant Day's Sport on Seneca Lake. Powell Wins the Single and Reilly the Senior Sculls, Ellis and Gil Ward Win the Pair-Oar Prize. The Four-Oared Race Won by the Wards. Warkins, N. ¥., Sept. 9, 1875. ‘The annual regatta of the Watkins and Seneca Lake Rowing Association terminated to-day, and certainly | hus proved a brilliant success. This morning the peo- | ple poured into the town from all sections of the coun- try, and excursion trains rattled im one after the other, | bringing crowds of pleasure seekers, The Seneca | Lake steamers were also hard at work, and | tarried several hundred from Geneva and adjacent ports. The committee desired to commence the races | Bharp at two P. M., as there were four events in the | regular programme for the day besides the amateur | senior sculls, which was left over from yesterday. | The preparatory gun was fired at half-past one, and | then the carriages and pedestrians moved along the | dusty road in the direction of the grand stand, which was about half a mile out of town, Pre- | sisely at two P. M, tho steam yacht Maggie | L. Wilson arrived at tho starting point, and Mr. Watson, | the referee, whistled for the starters in the first race to | take up their positions. At that time the stand was | packed, and a band in a showy red uniform was | tooting for the amusement of the spectators. The | pool seller was in his place, but he did not appear to be | doing a very lively traae, as the countrymen preferred | investing their money at the wheel of fortune and | other insinuating baits that were offered by the pro- fessional yamester, At half-past two P. M. Jghn Biglin paddled up to the sturting point, and was soon afterwards joined | by Gil Ward and Edward Powell, of Pittsburg. There | was @ light southerly breeze, and the water was a trifle lumpy. Dan Ward and Frank Kilsby now joined their contestants, and after they had been told by the referee that the | race would be rowed under the old rules, all turning the | same stakebout, they paddled back’ to their starting point and took up their respective positions. Frank Kilsby was in shore, with Powell No. 2, Dan Ward No. 3, | Biglin No, 4 and Gil Ward outside. i THY START. At 2:40 Mr. Watson sent them off well together. Powell, Dan Ward and Biglin were a little too close to- | gether, but after a few strokes Biglin und Powell forged ahead and took the lead. Gil Ward was steering | a straight course and keeping clear of all trouble. Half a mile from home Powell began to forge alead and soon had | clear water between him and Biglin. Dan Ward was third, Gil fourth and Kilsby last. ‘Tho latter was evi- dently saving himself for the pair oar ra A quarter of a mile from the turning buoy Powell led Biglin a clear length, and they turned as follow: TURNING TH BUOY. Powell, 7m. 5s. ; Biglin, 7m. 10s.; Dan Ward, 7m 188, apd Gil Ward, 7m. 23s, COMING HOME Powell laid down to his work in earnest, and Dan Ward, after a short struggle, passed John Biglin, who finally dropped into fourth place, letting Gil Ward come up next to Dan. The latter was pulling well and half a mile from home passed Dan and followed after Powell, | He cleared up the gap pretty rapidly, but when the Jatter found that his chaser was the Cornwall represent- ative he quickened his gait and won by a couple of lengths. Gil Ward took second money. SUIOCARY, . Professional Single Sculls—Two Miles, with a turn. M.S.

They were started at 3h. 16m., going off well to- ‘ther. A couple of hundred yards from the start Francis caught the end of his oar in his rowing drawers and nearly capsized. The accident threw him back over three lengths.

They were started ut 3h, 50m., Smith being quickest away.

ATALANTA VS. ATHLETIC. ————— FOUR-OARED SHELL RACE ON THE HARLEM— THE ATALANTAS, WITH A RECONSTRUCTED CREW, THE WINNERS, Long before the Atalanta crew of college oarsmen ‘were thought by the boating settlement on the Harlem to amount to anything the New York Athletic Club ebullenged them to a race on that water, There was a prompt acceptance by the Atalavias and the matter should have been docided before the Saratoga regatta, but repeated postponements left it open until yesterday, Since the preliminaries of the contest were arranged the Atalanta star has been in the ascendant and but tow were found to believe but that the victors at Saratoga and Troy would easily walk away with their plucky an- | tagonists, Such proved the result, yet many were | fowad willing to suppers the Athletic lads, arguing that | | | | | | stroke, while, in place of GOnster, was Downs, No. 2 | tenths deeming it a great mistake, and even the seu- | ik | journey, as the Atalantas were two Let | feat | sold in the Geld, the time being the best on record for | NEW YORK HERALD, )UIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1875.—TRIPLE SHHKT. the cracking race of Wednesday, when defeated by the Argonautas, would take so much heart out of the Ata- lantas that the chances of victory were nearly equalized, This reasoning Was # mistake, as the Atalantas can pull away {rom all crews whose stroke is so short and clip- ping, as the Athletics, The course selected was over the regular surveyed ground of the Harlem Rowing Asso- ciation, and was two miles straightaway, with the tide, THE RIVAL CREWS. Confidence was given the Athletics to issue their chal- lenge because of two triumphs credited to them this season, First of these was winning she four-oared shell race in the open regatta on the Harlem, June 26, and that of a prior contest, the victory over the New York Rowing Club four on May 22, In the estimation of themselves and others they had bone, flesh and muscle enough to defeat their powerful opponent, an error only discovered by trial, Of the Atalantas, had the four been the same that rowed the Argonautas on Wednesday, but little refer- ence to them would be necessary. It was not. Yester- day morning a change was made. John Gdnster, as | true au oarsman as ever sat in a shell and one who never shirked his work, retired from the crew and Ed, Blake, an old Atalanta oar, stepped into the boat, Beside this, | there were changes in the seats, Eustis still sat | being occupied by Rogers, with Bluke in the bow, The | advantage gained by the retirement of Gunster cannot be seen by the boating fraternity on the Harlem, nine- timent of the club members on the subject 1s much | divided, THE RECONSTRUCTED ATALANTA POUR.

Yesterday, the second day of the third annual rup- ning meeting at Prospect Park, was all that could be desired as regards both weather and sport, A soft haze somewhat veiled the sun and tempered the heat, and a welcome breeze cooled the atmosphere, though it rendered the journey to the Park rather dusty. The attendance was good, and the large number of ladies present seemed to enjoy the sport thoroughly. Tho riders elicited much lively discussion and anxious se- jection of favorites, though the choice seemed invarta- bly to fall upon the handsomest animal or the smallest rider, The crowd present was pre eminently a sporting one, and the pool stands were besieged at av early hour by those ambitious to add to the gains of Tuesday or re- | cover their losses, When the favorite in the third race was beaten in the first heat the excitement was intense and the anxiety to hedge almost ludicrous, Hurried consultations were held by eager individuals, who had suddenly lost confidence in their judgment, hi, 8 inches) weight, 132 Ibs.

AN INTERESTING EVENT—THE ISABEL WINS IN A TWENTY MILE RACE. Cupar Post, Wesrront Haxsor, Conn., Sept. 9, 1875. A large number of people assembled to-day on Cedar Point, near “Ledge Beach,” the country residence of ‘Mr. William R. McCready, of New York, the occasion being a trial of speed for gentlemen’s pleasure yachts for a purse of $50, This being the only race announced this season at this place and the weather being unusu- ally fine much interest was manifested. Cedar Point | possesses a pecullar historical significance in this age of centennials, as it is nearly one hundred years since the British naval forces landed here on their way to burn and sack the towns of Ridgefield and Danbury. Those who came to the Point, therefore, had the | pleasure of reviewing an animated aquatic contest, the | while standing upon ground once trodden by a people for a time hostile, but later in all respects friendly. The wind blew a spanking breeze from the south-southwest, and as the competing crafts came on the wind and took the signal for a start the sight was an animated one ‘The course was triangular, extending from the judges’ boat, the Belle of the Bay, Captain Hubbell, of Strat- ford, to a flagbout off Southport beacon, thence to Cau- kuns Island buoy, thence to the judges’ oat, and re- peat, a distance for the two round trips of not far from twenty miles, ‘THR ENTRIES. ‘The following are the entries for the race, embracing boats only of the first class :— Isabel, William R, McCready, Westport, Ida, Captain W.

THE RACING. ‘The track was in good condition, although somewhat hard, and the atmosphere was most delightful for the sport, Three races were on the card—the first a dash of a mile, with 100 Ibs. up; the second a dash of a mile and a quarter, for all ages, and the third mile heats. In the mile dash six started, These were M. Byrne’ chestnut gelding Camden, aged; W. KR. Bubcock’s black colt Vanderbilt, 4 years old; Ayres & Sutliffe’s bay gelding Wyndham, 5 years old; F. Stearns’ gray gelding Frank, 5 years old; L. A. Hitchcock’s chestnut colt Century, 4 years old; E, K.

H. & W. A. Mullin’s bay colt Papermaker, Papermaker was the favorite over the field belore the start, but after the first heat, which was won easily by Vernango, the latter became the favorite at five and six to one. She won the second heat as easily ax the first, proving herself a very usetul , : The judges were Messrs.

Public interest is now concentrated upon the vlan for the proposed elevated railways on Third and Sixth avenu It is generally assumed that the continuation of the Ninth avenue line will not materially differ from the present structure except in point of superior strength and safety. But in regurd tothe two other avenues much speculation is still being indulged im, Will it be the Gilbert plan, modified by the C vis sioners? Will it be the same structure as tha op Ninth avenue’ These are some of the questions now being asked by a curious and deeply interested public, Although the feeling of curiosity is strong, however, it is somewhat checked by the perfect confidence in ths good sense of the Commissioners, People do not know What the structure will be, but they feel convinced that, whichever it may be, it will be THE CHEAPEST, THR SAPRST AND THK REST, ‘They regard the admirable sclection of the routes—a much more dificult task—a sufficient guarantee of the capability of the commission to fix upon the very best structure that can be devised, ‘The very best, of course, does not mean the most imposing or ornate. It means the cheapest and strongest. Capitalists have declared in such unequivocal terms that they will not embark in the enterprise if the plan’is a needlessly expensive one— that the question of cost, which must enter so largely into the decision of the Commissioners, may safely ba left to the judgment of a body presided over by so ables financier as Mr. Joseph Seligman, The interviews with the financial “backer” of the proposed elevated railways published in the Hkratp of Wednesday showed as clearly as anything could show that if the stracture should be of a too expensive kind the whole labor of the commission would have been utterly wasted. Mr. Navarro, Commodore Garrison and other prominent capitalists gave this opinion in @ manner too significant to be misunderstood, ‘THE PROBABLE Cosr, It may be assumed that the cost of the structures ta be adoptea by the commission will not be much over $150,000 for a single track per mile, or $300,000 for # double track per ule, These figures include the equip. ment of the road, Mr. Cowing, the secretary of the New York Elovated Railroad Company, says ‘that the cost of the roads to be built by them on Ninth and Third avenue» will probably be less — than $150,000 . per single track amile, and it not likely that the commission ‘will fix upon a lore expensive plan for Sixth avenue when good and safe road can be built on the two other avenues at that cost, That the New York com- pany will not build any but safe roads can be deduced from their persistent and large outlay of money in im- proving and strengthening the old road, This has beeo carried so far that, as the writer was informed yester- day, all the profits of the concern have hitherto been put'into these improvements, When it is considered that the London rapid transit roads are estimated to have cost nearly £1,000,000 per mile, or more than six- teen times as much, it can easily be seen how cheap our roads will be and how enormously they will pay. ‘YHE ENGINEERS ON THE PLAN. It was important to ascertain the views of prominent engineers on what would constitute a model structure, But in this respect no satisfactory conclusion can ba given, as there are great varieties of opinion—pre- sumably for the reuson that there are many yarictics of good and available structures, One great fact, however, stands forth conspicuously, and that ig that the undoubted majority of the reputabie engineers ‘of this city are decidedly in favor of an elevated plan. “heir differences of opinion are only as regards the de- tails of the structure. Probably one of the most com- aes engineers mn the ee speak on the structure likely to be adopted is Mr, Charles M. Donald, Presi- dent of the Delaware Bridge Company, who drew the plans for the continuation of the Greenwich street road from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-sixth street, This short extension was only built very recently and will no doubt be the model for the continuation of that road to High Bridge, and, probably, also for that to be built om Third avenue, is THR MODEL STRUCTURE. Mr. McDonald, when asked what the probable struc- ture would be, said it would probably be modelled om the structure of the short extension above alluded to, After giving @ great deal of serious study to the examl- nation of the old road and of the various plans (ng sented, he designed what seemed to him the simplest the most admirable and at the same time the rire structure. He thought that it offered the best solution of this problem, When asked to explain the omen. of the new the old structure he said the posta were composed of different material, having a star- shaped cross section by which the attachments could be rigidly made. The cluster columns were set in the line of the street curb and supported two plate girders firmly connected by lateral bracing, Upon these rest the ties, guard timbers and steel rails com- posing the track, Owing to the peculiar form of the iron used in the cluster column it becomes practicable to embrace its four legs io such a manner as to make ita remarkably rigid support for the girders resting upon it. The girders themselves are deeper than those used in the old structure, and hence are mach stiffer under the passay of traits, ‘The lateral bracings which connect these girders effectually prevents any hori- zontal vibration. THE SITUATION OF THR TRACK. The above is the plan of the short extension as de- seribed by the engineer, and the present work of ex- tending the road to Sixty-first street will continue the same structure, One important fact still remains to be sottied. Is it betwr build the structure m the © centre of the street or along the curb on each side of the streety Mr. McDonald thinks that also in this respect the structure adopted by the New York Company is the best. He Deheves that placing the track in the centre of the street, right over the street car tracks, would be pro- ductive of considerable annoyance, more especially on the Third avenue, where the carts and wagons, in pass- ing out from the horse car tracks, at the approach of @ street car, might be obstructed by the posts Mr, Me- Donald, when asked as to the probable expense of such del structu placed it even at less than $150,000 per single track mile, He thought that for $125,000 all the requirements ef solidity aud comfort could be satis- fied. As regards the situation of the structure it is proper to add that Mr, MeDonald thinks that where it is | possible to place the double track in the centre addi- tional strength could easily be insured by suitably con- necting the girders composing each single track, IMPORTANCE OF THE STRUCTURE, Mr. McDonald said that the old road to Thirty-fourth street would never be an enduring one, haying been built on unscientile principles. However, he thought it would last tora few years and could at present be used with entire safety, thanks to the energy with which it had been steadily strengthened, He dwelt strongly upon the vast’ importance of fixing upon the right structure for the road soon to be built, Asa striking Ulustration of the effect of an ill-considered plan upon capital he mentioned the fuet that when the Greenwich street road was first started it was in th hands of @ man ‘whose ntive genius ov 1 ge,” and the road proved a wretehed failure, | The _ property then into other = hands, = the = new owners greatly strengthened the road and improved the method of ruaningit, and the traile immediately incregsed thirty per cent, As soon as the company Wat financially strong enough he did not doubt that the old structure would have to give way to anew one, One element of its of safety was owing to the fact that the old posts were hollow and that the dwetal composing them was vet so that the water running into them quickly ¢ 5 Among other prominent ‘Theodore Weston, who tor a long time was engineer of sewers and grading, He declared openly in favor of depressed roads, as an clevated track could not easily be made sufficiently strong to carry the heavy rolling stock required for’ the enormous trafic, Another reason was that the gt on an ele. vated road were much more difficult to manage, ‘The maximum grade of an elevated road must be about sixty feet to the inch, Mr, Weston condemned the Gilbert plan in the most emphatic manner, and said the Com- missioners could not possibly adopt it, as it had beey condemned by the London experts who exammed it on the part of the London capitalists. Tnat plan would never work satistactorily, and it was to be hoped that, if the Commissioners did not adopt the depressed plan, they would, at all events, Hx upon a better elevate structure, AN INFANT DRUNKARD.
