Bay sides rowed hiusAlf completely out
during the contestsand when the time
came to row over again according to the
orders of Referee Lyman B. Glover, he was
more dead than alive. Pilkfnton the

when the disabled crew will be in trim
The latter accepted the proposition with
every evidence Of gratitude.
The pair Our race was something of a sur
prise, every body assuming that Standish
and Lyon, the Detroiters. would have q
walk-away. The two strapping lads from
Salt Lake, however, Osborne and Weber,
had things about their own way and passed
the flag in ?:lS, their opponents being AZ
seconds behind.
The double SOULS was;a battle of aquatic
giants: There were the Metropoitans, the
Farragnts, the Don Amateurs, Catius and
Bay Sides, the Ravenswoods and Winni-
pegs. The MctropoIitans and Ravenswoods
were the favorites in the pools For the
first three-quarters Of mile these two
stayed close together and then the Jersey
men fell away. The Farrasuts put on a
squirt and kept level with the New Workers
for a. quarter of q mile, and then
they, too, succumDed Next the WinniDeps
made s.Surst of speed that caused Pilkin-
ton to yell to his bow to sock it in, " and
the stroke went from thirty to thirty-eight
like flash. while the Canadians went to
the rear. Pilkinton thought he had every
thing his own way, but when within a
dozen yards OF the finish the white shifted
Canadians hove in sight on the ext 'ene
right, with couple OF splirts came up
with the Nets and despite the hard pulling
OF the latter succeeded in crossing the
line even. Time. S:45. Ravenswoods, 3;
Don Amateur, ); W.<nipeg, 3; Farraguts,

In the senior tours the winnipegs won
by two lengths. The Delawares made
hard fight. and Gastrick, the bow, kee,ed
over in the boat inscnsible 100 yards
from the line. Restoratives were applied
and he recovered in a short time. The
Torontos We're second and the Atalantas
third. Ne latter, however, were disqualt-
fed, and the New York Athletic Club got
the place. Winnipeg's time, S:33; Toronto,
S:46
The Atalantas were the favorites in the
cight-oar contest and they realized the ex-
pectations Of their friends 1t was a hard
tusslc, however. The Bradford boys got
away at the start, and at the three-quarter
buoy were over half {: length in the lead
They pulled too jerky, however, while the
Atalautas made fine, steady STROKES
The latter drove to the front after the
three-quarter had been passed, but were
soon Overtaken and the Bradford's went
to the front by a length. Then they eased
up again, the New Workers went to the
front like stroke Of lightning, and al
though their opponents pulled for dear
life they kept the lead to the finish win
ming by half length ami deafening
cheers and yells and the music OF half q
dozen bands. Two of the Atalantas men
dropped FIAT in the boat as it went
past the flag. Time, TAI; Bradford's, 7:44
This breaks the record of 7:4G made on
the st. Charles river at Boston. The pair
oar record was also beaten 9:1S, on the
Pullman course, against 9:3+ on dead water
at Watkins, N Y Darkness had set in by
the time the: last race was over, but the
ity-bound crowds kept the trains waiting
III order to give the ,Atalantas genuine
Western hurrah as they came ashore.
