Clara-were lapstreaks; but they were given an al

altogether too much The following were the en-

very pretty one but the chief contest and the main
interest were between the Lily and Agnes The lat

Jack Spratt served his rider the same way. Charles

fouroared shell race. Around the latter event the
interest OF the occasion centred, and when the
competitors appeared at the starting point thou
sands OF spectators cheered them repeatedly. The
race was turning one of three miles, and the
prize set of champion coors. The course-on
Lake Monona-commenced at point on the south
west line of Henry street. thence northeasterly one
and a half mile to a point thrty-three feet beyond
the northeast line Of Baldwin street, and return.

The wind was fresh-a good sailing breeze and
the swell very heavy. At five p. NJ the shells were
called into line and the word at once given. Both
got away in good shape, but the boys of the Ke-
gonsa rowed in better form than their opponents,
and 1t evident, they applied their full
power and had gone mile, that the in their
hands. The one and u half mile buoy was turned
by them In 10m., 05s., several lengths ahead, and
on the home pull they rowed easily, the last half mile
not being contested. The time of the KegOnsa was
22m, 40As., while that of the Anna Cowell was not
taken. The Madison boys could have pulled the
KegOnsa over the course fully minute less than
race. The judges of the day were George W. Bird
and Captain h. d. Masters, OF the Jefferson crew,
and Harry w. Abbott and q. p. Chapman on the
part of the MadisOns. Colonel ID. r. Hunt, OF the
Undine Club, Toledo filed the responsible position
OF referee very satisfactorily The Wisconsin Edi-
tOrial Association then holding its annual meeting
In this city, witnessed the race In body.
