The regatta at Lake Minnetonka opened j
fine shape yesterday, and some good amateu
rowing was witnessed, although but one rae
was very closely contested. The novelty o
regatta in Minnesota waters, was suficien
to draw a large crowd of peopl
from Minneapolis, st. Paul an
other Cities Some delay was occasioned il
getting started by various trivial things, bu
at last the various clubs gave notice that the
were ready for the contest, and the word wa
given for the
JUNIOR FoUR-oAR SHELLS
to draw up in position. Mr.. F. B. Jilson
of the Minnesota boat club, St. Paul, wa
chosen starter, and Judge at the finish, in tn
absence of w. E. Burwell. The
crews we're three in number, named AM
manned as follows:
l. Burlington crew, of Burlington, Iowa
color red. @. G. Fowler, bow; q. M. Schenck
@. E.. Osgood, j. J. Onert, stroke.
2. Minnesota boat club, ST. Paul; color
white. L. l.. Schumacher; bow; A. F. Schitf
man, w. Fl. Leishtner. j. J. Parker, stroke.
3. Lurllne boat club, Minneapolis; color
blue. G. McC. Reeve, bow; 8. b. Chase;
Whitney, Preston King, stroke.
After some difficulty in getting started
owing to the wind, the crews got away IL
good shape, with the Burlisgtons taking the
lead. This club pulled out with smooth
sweeping stroke, run up to forty eight q
minute, and they fairly flew over the course
leaving the other crews to follow some dis
lance behind.
The Minnesotas pulled thirty-fve strokes
to the minute and the Lurlines forty. The
Minnesotas took a winding course, went
over into the Lurline's water and lost val
liable ground. The Burlingtons kept IN the
lead the entire two miles and crossed the
line in 14:4O. amid deafeuing cheers. The
Lurlines followed, in Is minutes, some eigh-
teen lengths behind the former. The Min-
nesotas, in turning the mile buoy, unshipped
an oar and gave up the contest.
- THE WORKING BOATS
were next called for, and three crews entered,
as follows: -'
aThe Burlingtons, color red. J. J. Ohret,
stroke; G. M. Schenck. bow: G. G. Fowler, cox

swain.
Minnesota Boat club, color blue. J. J. Par
ker, stroke; w. II. Leightner, bow; w. H. Un-
derwood, coxswain.
They started we'll together, but the Bur-
ingtons soon took the lead, followed by the
Lurlines. Tine Burlingtons rowed the mile
in $685., the Lurlines in 1904, followed by
the Minnesotas in 7:3915. The latter claimed
foul, asserting that their buoy was some
400 feet out of the way. This race will be
rowed over again to-day.
THE JUNIOR SINGLE SOULS
was next on the programme. There were
two races, with four men in the first race
and three in the second.
In the first race the entries were: w. l..
Bassett, blue, Lurline club; w. II. Under
wood, red, Minnesotas; A. w. Krech, white,
Lurline club; w. Rhodes, Jr., blue, Mime
sofa club.
At the start Underwood took the lead,
Bassett next, Rhodes third, and Krech lost
time by taking his eyes from the signal the
moment before the word ''go' was spoken.
He pulled heartily, however, and would have
made good time but ia turning upset his
boat. The other three contestants con-
tinued on, with Underwood in the lead, fol-
lowed by Rhodes. Bassett was left some
distance behind, and finally gave up the
struggle. Underwood crossed the line in
16:2O94 1; and Rhodes in 16:5012.
In the second race the following entries
were made: ,.
f. B. Jilson-white-M innesotas.
FL. M. Observation-Disclosures.
Mr.. Rundlett-red-St. Paul.
On the start Butler took the lead, while
Jilson and Rundlett pulled about even for
some distance. The latter finally dropped
behind, and Jilson gave Butler hard rub
but coald not overhaul him. The time was
as follows: Butler 1858, Jilson 16:O71a,
Rundlett distanced.
Owing to the late hour at which the last
