The Pullman Regatta.

PULLMAN, ILL.,, August lO.-At the closing
races of the Lake Calumet regatta to day
New York again carried off the honors, the
Atlantas proving the victors in the senior
four-oared she'll race. Dennis Donahue, of
Hamilton, also added to his laurels by his
mastery rowing in the senior singles.
The first event of the day was to be the
of Toronto, and the Metropolitans, of New
York. John Gray, of the Baysides, was too
ill to start with his crow, and they allowed
the contest to go to the Metropolitans by de-
fault.

rowing, as though their bow oar went to
pieces, but their friends claimed not, saying
that it was due to II foul by the Detroits.

win, the Metropolltans crossing the line first,
two lengths before the Sylvans, who beat
the Catlins by a similar distance. Time

race and finished second by a short length.
