A beautiful rain bow spread in a deep circle over in the oast, the clouds lifted from over tho Staton Island hills, and old Sol glistened over tho smooth waters of tho hay just as the eight oared barge race wa« being rowed. The sight was a beautiful one as Starter Pclton raised his pistol in the air to start the r.ace. A sharp crack was heard and twenty-four oars cleaved tho water. The forms of tho powerful oarsmen were sil houetted on tho waters in front of tho club house, and tho many yachts anchored off tho house helped to form as pretty a marine sight as was over witnessed. Tho race was tho best of tho day, and tho enthusiasm was intense as the barges sped over the water. Tho contest was a close one to tho turning stake, which was situ ated opposite the Nautilus boat club house, near the Bay Eidge dock. Tho Makara seemod to reach tho stake first, but the Nantilns and Comet were very close followers. The three heavy barges were turned in short, and a hot race for the fin ish liuo was begun.
