club H. NJ. Howell of the Winnipeg and
w. II. Hineman of the Minnesota. Frank
Seymour acted as referee and G. B. Gilbert,
DR.. Talbot ones, W, E. Bramhan and Hal
Watson as tirne-keepers. The first race
started was the four junior shells. in
which were entered the clubs whose per-
sonnet is given as follows:
Winnipeg Rowing Club, color, red-F. L.
Patton, bow; w. II. Thompson, 2; Z. A.
Campbell, 8; A. FL. Buchanan, stroke.
Minnesota Boat Club, color, blue-L. P.

The signal given anu got away. the Win
nipeg leading, followed by the other crews,
who were about even as they spurted away.
The advantage seemed to be with no one
until near the buoy, when the Winnipeg
commenced to gain, as their stroke was
even and the crew all seemed in perfect
form. The blue cOlors of the Minnesota
crew showed to poor advantage in the
start, but they afterwards got to working
nicely. AS the course was two miles, one
| mile and return, the Winnipeg reached the
turning buoy first, pulling thirty-six
| strokes to the minute. Their shell came
about with nice handling, and they sped
away without any spurtS The other crews
turned the stake in the following order:
ATjonnSntc DavapAnr oolOrSl cn0onH Min
nesota (blue colors, second crew third
and the st. Paul club fourth. AS
| the clubs turned about commotion
was seen in the Minnesota crew (blue
| colors), and it was seen that a rover was
distressed. f. W. Banning was taken sick,
and the crew came home with easy oars.
| 1t was plainly seen that the race belonged
| to the Winnepeg crew, for while they were
| hard pressed by the Minnesota crew, they
made their fine squirt, pulling about thirty
eight strokes to the minute, and crossed the
! line in 13 minutes and seconds, the Min
nesota following in 1880 and the st. Paul
crew coming in last in 13.362l. A double
scuu race followed with two entries, the
| Winnepeg crew entering A. G. l.. Fox and
| D. l.. Dewar, and the MinnesotaS G. w.
| James, substitute for Banning, and E. A.
Jaggard. This was another Walkaway, the
| Winnepegs easily winning i'll 14.21. The
| water on the course was IN good
shape. except having swell
caused by the eXerable practice of tugs and
launches crossing the course. The man
| agement should try and correct this at
to-day's races For to-day's races the
winning crew of the Winnipegs will enter
and good crowd is expected, as the at
| tendance to-day was slight. The races to-
| day will be one and one-half miles straight
away:
