Metropolitan Regatta.

The Weld Boat Club entered two crews in the Metropolitan regatta yesterday. In the junior double-scull shells the Weld crew was the only one entered. They made a start and were awarded the race. In the eight-oared race three crews started - the Weld, the Riverside, and the Shawmut clubs. After rowing a quarter of a mile the Weld crew, being in the Riverside's water, the latter rowed across the bow of the former. The Weld crew stopped rowing, and several of the men held up their hands for a protest, which was not considered by the referee. At the start, Captain Youngman was not ready and jumped his slide. He claims to have held up his hand at the start, but the starter's opinion was that it was not until the second stroke, after the word "go."

Later, last evening, it was decided by the captains of the eight-oared race to declare their match off and hold another race over the same course next Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. The members of the Shawmut crew will receive individual prizes for winning yesterday's race, but the winners of Wednesday's race will receive the championship pennant.
