of Rochester, n. Y. Time, 1916.
DETROIT, August 16.-In the single
scull, mile and half straight away,
Yates and O'Donnell pulled to the front,
but were soon overhauled by Tompkins
and Lee, the latter soon taking the lead.

ond place between ODonnell and Tomp-
kins, while Yates fell to the rear. The
prize was won by Lee, of Newark, n. j.,
in Oil; ODonnell, of New Orleans,
second, in 9:3S.

aids, of Saginaw, reported and were sent
off by the judges. The distance was a
mile and half. Won by the Emeralds
of Saginaw, in 9:04; Detroit Scullers,

troit; Emerald, of Saginaw; Excelsior,
