ing day of the rowing regatta at Pullman
under the auspices of the Mississippi Val
ley Amateur Rowing association was to-
day attended by an increased audience,
and the occasion was highly successful and
interesting. This weather was cool and de-
lightful, while the fresh breeze from the
west did not disturb the course materially
except near the turn and there the water
was somewhat rough. Governor Hamil-
ton and staff witnessed the sport.
The first event on the programme was
the double scull race which promised we'll,
but turned out almost fasco. The fol-
lowing scored up to the buoys for the
start: The Minnesota boat club, Daven-
port boat club, Burlington boat club. The
Catlin crew of Chicago was ruled off the
course before starting, and the Evanston
crew did not appear. Of the starters the
Davenport crew merely scored and did OF
fairly enter the race. This unlocked for
turn gave clear field to the st. Paul
crew, who went over the
course in good form, making the two miles
in fifteen minutes fifty-four seconds.
The second event was almost equally
barren of interest. 1t was the senior pair
cared race, and the following came to the
buoys for a start: Excelsior Boat club,
Detroit, Mich; Sylvan Boat club, Moline,
ILL.,; Farragut Boat club, Chicago. The
Farraguts scored but did not advance in
the race. The Sylvans fell behind and
failed to turn the stake boat The Excel
siors went over the two-mile course in
fifteen minutes twenty-seven seconds.
The senior four cared race was a most
exciting event, and elected the keenest at.
tention o2 the part of the audience. Crews
of the Farragut club, of Chicago, and the
Little Rock, Ark, club were booked to
enter, but did not show up. The starters
were the Minnesota Boat club, st. Paul;
Pullman Athletic association, Pullman,
ILL.,; Modoc Rowing club, st. Louis, Mo-;
Centennial Boat club, Detroit, Mich. The
boats got away in good shape, the St.Louis
crew making brilliant squirt and spring
ing to the front, holding the lead for three
quarters. but their stroke was too rapid to
last and the Detroits passed them at the
mile turn. The st. Pauls shipped consid-
cradle water and the craft was steered
unsteadily. The port oarsmen also
kept catching crabs and throwing water
high in the air, evidently being
somewhat ratified by the rough water.
AS soon as they struck smooth course
they advanced at a furious speed and
quickly closed the gap behind the Detroits,
the Pullmans and the Modocs following
in order. The st. Pauls, however, did, not
seem able to hold their terrifcally rapid
stroke and fell away, the Detroits finish
ing three lengths ahead. Distance 2
miles. Time: Centennials 13:3715;
Minnesotas 1916; Modocs IA; Pullmans
Az. The st. Pauls were booked to win,
and considerable sums were lost on them.
The rough water at the turn defeated
them.
For the sensor single scull race, the fol:
tion, Geo. G. Henry; Centennial boat club,
Detroit, Mich, VIM. Plass; Wyandotte
boat club, a. W. Stone; Sylvan boat club,
Moline, ILL.,, Geo. K. Turner; Galveston
rowing club, John Crafty. The Davenport
and the st. Paul men were booked to en-
ter, but failed to show up. Stone, of the
Wyandottes, sprang to the lead and held
it to the finale, closely pressed for the first
mile by Henry, of the Burlingtons. Dis

The closing event, and one of the lead
ing features of the regatta, was the SIX
cared barge race between the Burlington
| Boating association, Pullman Athletic as
sociation, Western Rowing club, st. Louis,
Farragut Boat club, of Chicago, Keokuk
Boat club and Modoc Rowing club, ST.
Louis. After considerable delay in scoring
the forty foot barges, each with crew OF
seven men, shot away in fine style from
the lower stake boat, the race being one
mile straight away. For the first quarter
the barges were bow and bow, but the st.
Louis Westerns gradually crept to the lead
and held it to the finish, which was most
exciting, the St.Louis Westerns being only
one length ahead, while the
other boats were all in 8
bunch, the crews straining every
nerve for second place. There was less
than half fathom distance between the
Burlingtons, Pullmans, Farraguts, and
Modocs, while the Keokuks were distanced
