THE LATE RssArrA-Ths glery has departed
frcs cur New York Boat Clsb Association. Their
pet boat, the Wave the pride sf svssy wave In the
barber. has been beaten The histsry Of the vctors
is brief bat amusing. Thsy are called Highland
boys; that is the greatest part Of their lives has
been spent in rowing the North River, in the
neighborheod Of the Highlands. They are strong,
ruddy, muscular, -chested, sinewy armed men,
with whom il is impossible fer the members of our
amateur boat club association to compete The
Wave did wonders Tuesday, but it was not possi-
BILE for her to beat the Ann Of Peekskill The great
test is in the men, and not in the boats The sue
ccssu rowers had not been heard Of in the annals Of
regatas until the regatta at wburgh came OIL this
summer On that occasion, seven 81 these sturdy
young Highland boys borrowed an old boat called
the Lai,te, scraped her up, and fixing her sufficiently
enable her to stand the tug OF the contest entered
her against the Wave, and beat her; owing, 1t was
said at the time, to the shipping SO much water
They obtained for this the prize OF silver pitcher
They were still, however. without toat, and they
took the pitcher to Governeur Kemble's, showed II
to him and TO Mr.. Van Buren, (who was then staying
therc) and offered il to either Of them in exchange
for new boat. His Democratic Majesty refused to
trade, but Mr.. Kemble took up the offer, and sent
to New York for the Gondola. Before the bargain
was concluded, the toys quarreled about division
Of the spos, and four five Of them took the pitch
er and came down to Peekskill; when the Pough-
keepsie Regetta was announced they were still with
out a boat, beeing too poor TO buy one They came
to New York, six in number, and tried the merits Of
all OR crack row boats. They finally borrowed the
Daniel d. Tompkins, and as there was no entrance
money pay, they started in the race at Poughkeep
sic, and won the prize of new boat, the "Ann Of
Peekskill'' Thus set up in the world, they brought
their prize to New York, entered her with and beat
the Wave the pride, the pet, the champion, the VIC
of and in all regattas and boat races So much
for the bone and sinew of the country. The lovely
young women of this city, who were spectators Of
the race Tuesday, think very highly Of those
Highland boys Nor is this to be wondered at, for,
next to brains, a beautiful woman always admires
good bone, muscle, thews and sinews.
