Arlington, Mass, passed through the city en-
route to the lake and Messrs. Wallace Ross,
Ten Eyck, Casey and Gookin, the latter two

at the Falmouth and will leave for the lake
to-day Hosmer, Mckay, Hamm and Peter
son of San Francisco arrived yesterday
morning by boat from Boston. Hanlan and
Lee,with Capt Paul Boyton, telegraphed Mr.
Davis that they should leave New York last
| night via all rail to Portland and will un-
doubtedly reach here this noon. The eight
cared crews from Gardiner and Bath will
arrive at the lake Tuesday morning There
is great deal of interest aroused on the
Kennebec over these two crews and the
friends of each are confident their fayorites
will win.
The new entries include: For the profes-
slonal double-scull race, Hanlan and Lee

A. Sweedey of Washington, and the Davidson

The next interesting event will be the
eight-oared amateur contest, in which are
entered the Crescent crew of Boston, the

Rowing Club crew and the Gardiner Boat
Club crew Of Gardner.

amateur records will be broken in this event,
and great interest is manifested in the result.
Capt. Paul Boyton's company will give an
exhibition of aquatic feats and tricks with
Boyton's rubber suits. Wallace Ross the
oarsman, will probably enter this event, as
he is very expert in the use of Boyton's suit.
The Indians who are to engage in the trick
canoe race are practising daily at the lake,
and will create a sensation by their difficult
feats' They are body of trained athletes,
and, as recently reported, defeated base
ball nine composed of their Caucasian
brethren
James f. Ormond Of Boston has been
chosen as referee of the different events. He
will leave Boston Tuesday evening for Lake
MaranocoOk. He will be accompanied by a
large party of Boston gentlemen who are in
terested in aquatics.
Civil Engineer Robinson of the Maine
Central has surveyed the courses for the COM
ing regatta. Each course will be three
fourths of mile, making three turns in each
race. The lower course is directly in front
OF the grove, near the western shore, and
the upper course nearest the eastern shore
The former will be used, except strong
southerly wind makes the water choppy.
The st. John four-oared crew arrived at the
lake yesterday.
