LAKE CALUMET REGATTA.
The New Yorks Capture the HOnOrs The
GarfieIds Win More Races.

Garflelds Win More Races.
PULLMAN, Ills, Aug 10.-At the closing
races of the Lake Calumet regatta today
New York again carried off the honors, the
Atlantas proving the victOrs over the To-
rontos in the senior four and shell race.
Dennis Donahue, of Hamilton, Ont, also
added to his laurels by his mastery rowing
in the senior singles. The first event of
the day was to row off the race with the
Metropolitans of New York. John Grays,
the bow of the Bayside, was too i'll to start
with his crew, and they allowed the contest
to go to the Metropolitans by default.
First race-Junior singles: Starters. D.
w. Shea of Boston, F. G. Avery of Chi
cago, G. A. Gormally of Toronto, Lowell of
Hamilton, j. Rogers and Cregier of Chi
cago, Y. A. Everson of ST. Louis, w. w.
Hill of Chicago, and E. Fraser of Chicago.
Shea was ahead by two lengths nearing the
close, but Lowell and Gormally by squirting
lessened it nearly half. Lowell finished
second only a trife before Gormally third.
Time :4216.
Junior double-Starters The st. Pauls
of st. Paul, the Owastonangs of Grand
Rapids, the Cathlins of Chicago, the
Minnesotas of st. Paul, and the Garfield
Beach of Salt Lake. The race was
pretty struggle between the st. Pauls and
Minnesotas. The others were far in rear.
st. Pauls turned first, but it was nip and
tuck all the way back, St Paul by final
squirt winning by two lengths. Time
10 1864.
Third race-Senior four-oared shells.
Only the Torontos and Atlantas entered,
and the powerful, steady work by which
the New Workers left Boston IN the lurch
yesterday, accomplished the same result
to-day with the Canadian crew. Through
out the contest the Atlantas pulled about
an even "a stroke to the minute, while the
Torontos, starting with ragged, splashing
SO stroke, exhausted themselves in the first
half of the race. Time-Atlantas 9:5S1z,
Torontos 10
Fourth race-Senior single-Starters:
Metzger of ST. Louis, j. Donahue of To-
ronto, Kilby of Ottawa, Ryan of Toronto,
Evision of ST Louis, Mulham of Mime
apolis, McDower of Chicago and D. Dona
hue of Toronto. The favorite, D. Dona-
hue kept in the background until near the
turn. He finished two lengths in advance
of McDowan, who preceded Kilby by
length. Time-10 49,.
Fifth race-Senior pair oar-The De-
troits and Garfield Beach club, of Salt
Lake, Utah, had it all to themselves. They
started evenly enough, but the Salt Lake
boys had established lead of four lengths
at the turn. Inc DetroltS neglected to
make the circuit of the turn, and the Utah
club practically stopped rowing. 1t looked
as though the Garfeld's bow oar went to
pieces, but their friends claim not, saying
it was due to a foul. The Detroit crew
finished in 1885. The Garfeld's time was
II 40, but they were declared the winners
by the referee
Sixthrace-Senior double-Starters: The
Metropolitan of New York, the Catlins of
Chicago, and the Sylvans of Moline. The
Sylvans were left three lengths in the rear
at the outset through misunderstanding
with the starter, but made magnificent
fight, contesting every inch to the finish.
They were too badly handicapped, how
ever, to win, the Metropoiitans crossing
the line first, two lengths before the Syl-
vans, who beat the Catlins by similar
distance. Time-10:04.
Seventh race-Six cared barge-Starters:
The Pullmans, the Joquois of Chicago, the
Westerns of St. Louis. Such favorites
were the Westerns that no money could be
had against them. Joquois gave st. Louis
men a hot race finishing second by short
length; Pullmans were third. Time
4:3415.
