1t was the Lurlines' day at Mime
tonka beach yesterday, and the blue
pushed its way to the front in each of
the three races, junior double, senior
double and junior four-Oared. The last
should not, or rather does not, count in
favor of the Minneapolis crew, as the
Winnipegers were fouled by the Du-
luths when it seemed that they
had the race well in hand. To come
down to details, the day was glorious
one, and the water perfect. The great
sloping lawn in front of the Lafayette
was dotted with the bright colors
which are so pupular in the
negllge attire of the ladies this
year. The afternoon trains from the
Twin Cities brought large installments
of boating enthusiasts, and young men
with straw hats, summerine coats and
lakelet pants were very numerous. The
friends of the LurlineS of Minneapolis
largely predominated, and the clubs
color, blue, was conspicuous in both
badges and hat bands. The afternoon
passed away quietly, and the throng at
the boat house INDUCED only mildly in
speculation as to the coming results,
both mentally and financially speaking.
The clubs, with the exception of the
Duluth club, which arrived Thursday,
had been at the lake for a week past,
training and rowing and incidentally
gaining admirers among the fair sex.
Yesterday was given up to preparation,
and the shells, which were housed in
the wing of the pavilion and guarded
from intrusion of the profane public by
barbed wire fence, were carefully
oiled and gotten into what would be
termed the pink of condition" in pu-
giliStic circles. AS the hour of ap-
preached the crowd gathered on the
shore of the lake, and the fleet of pleas
ure yachts and launches anchored along
the course at good points of Observa
ton; The Rosander, with Umpire 0:
Ii. Briggs, w. E. Alloway; the Judge at
the finish, and G.. Ii. Eldridge.
John T. West, FL. NJ. Howell
c.. E. Bean and 4. .McLaren,
official timekeeper on board, and the
launch with the representatives of the
press being the only boats allowed to
follow in the wake of the oarSmen. The
course stretched dill ectly along the beach
in the direction of Lake park, and all
could see. The first race was:
THE JUNIOR DOUBLE,
one and one-half miles with turn, with
the following entries:
Lurline- Duluth
G. K Taylor, II. d. Pearson,
G. E. Wheeler. Raymond Moore.
81 Paul Winnipeg
S. E. Forest F. l.. Patton,
Charles A. Clark. III. Gait.
AT the pistol shot the contesting crews
broke water very evenly. The Lur-
lines, when they got to their gait, took
the lead with a forty stroke, Duluth
with thirty-eight. st. Paul thirty-five,
| Winnipeg thirty-fOur. 1t was clearly
| the Lurines' race from the start, and
| they came in winners easily by two
| lengths in 9:3S1S, with the Winnipegs
next in 9:4611a; Duluth, 1872; st. Paul,
10:47.
TUE SENIOR SINGLES
came next.
Lurline-J. E. Muchmore, Jr., Norman
| Wright.
| Winnipeg-James Turnbull.
Duluth-W. B. Selvey.
When the men settled down to work
Muchmore took long swinging stroke
at thirty-four, which he maintained to
the finish with apparent ease, only spurt-
ing once OH the return, when Turnbull
| evinced an incentive to give him race.
Norman Wright followed with a So
stroke, Turnbull 3S, and Selvey So.
The finish was in the order named:
Muchmore, 10:1S19; Wright, 1925;
Turnbull, 1O:S9; Selvey, 11:25. The
shouts from the eXultant Lurlines
greeted the favOrite Minneapolis oars
man as he returned to the boat house.
THE THIRD EVENT.
The Junior fOur-oared was delayed
some little time by an accident to the
Lurlines. The steam yacht Reindeer,
| ;oIx ~, l<,I
| the LurlineS' shell shot out from the
boat house, carried away it's rudder.
| Fortunately the damage was easily re-
| paired, and within fifteen minutes the
| Lurlines were back in position. The
| race seemed to be hOo-dOOed from the
start almost. Hardly quarter of
mile had been rowed when the Duluths
| gradually veered into the Winnipegs'
water, and in spite of repeated warnings
from the judges, collision resulted.
| The fault lay with No. 3, who allowed
his muscle and enthusiasm to get away
with him. The bow oar of the st. Pauls
was also broken at the turn, and a col
lision occurred. The following were
| the entries:
St. Paul-H. c. Deacon, bow; T. S. Dunbar
2: j. F. Fitzpatrick, 3; Walter Holcomb,
stroke.
Lurline-C. E. Wheeler, bow; A. w. Dam
|
| kopf, stroke.
Duuth-D. A. Burke. bow: c. C. Cochran
| 2; John Chisholm, 8: W. B. Mclean, stroke
| Winnipeg-B. Il. Chaffey, bow; B. E.
Lemon, 2; W. Turner, 3; P. A. Macdonald,
| stroke.
The Winnipegs and Duluths were
about even when the collision resulted,
| causing both boats to come to halt.
The Lurlines, who were several lengths
behind, forged to the front. They made
an awkward turn and led st. Paul about
| length. The Winnipegs tried hard to
make up lost ground, and easily drew
away from Duluth, and coming back
| passed st. Paul and started after the
Lurlines. The Minneapolis crew start
ed at "42" and kept its lead, win
ming in 9:3lA; Winnipeg, $40;
st. Paul. 10:06; Duluth, 1910. The race
was protested, of course, by the Winni-
pegs, and will be rowed over this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, the DuluthS being eX-
cluded. This evenings races will at
tract more interest, although yester-
days sport was decidedly entertaining.
