'thirty-four to the minute" ''time on
the last mile," and things of that sort
occupy everybody's attention around
Minnetonka beach at present. The re-
gatta of the Minnesota and Winnipeg
Rowing association takes place Friday
and Saturday. and every one is talking
about it. There is vast deal of inter
est in the regatta, and the rivalry is
very pronounced. but it is the jolliest
rivalry imaginable. The boating men
do not pay great deal of attention to
matters outside the regatta. They de-
vote their exclusive attention to it. The
pretty girl has no charms for them now.
for they cannot sit out on the piazza
late O. nights talking to them. At the
hop next Saturday night the pretty girl
and the brawny boatman will devote a
good deal of attention to each other.
The executive committee of the assO-
citation has added w. B. Shibley, of Du-
luth, and E. W. Fl. Van Allen, of Win
nipeg, to the judges, and they made
change in the programme. The events,
as they have been finally decided. and
the entries, are as follows:

All of the crews are at the beach and
hard at work. The majority of the Lur-
so they only get at the water once day
in the evening. The other crews go
out both morning and evening and take
a spin of from twelve to fifteen miles.
The LurlInes push things for about six
or seven miles. Until yesterday the
water has been so rough that the crews
have had little opportunity to show
what they can do. 1t has been pretty
clearly demonstrated that the Lur-
lines make the best time in
in rough water. The greatest
interest centers in the senior and junior
fours, the senior double and single.
There are only two entries in the senior
four, the Lurlines and Winnipegs. The
prize is the magnificent silver cup,
which cost 81, 900. and which was pre-
sented by Sir Donald Smith. 1t was
won by the Lurlines last year, but it is
doubtful whether they will again carry
it off. The Winnipegs have
A MAGNIFICENT CREW,
and they are bound to win. Since early
in the season they have been training,
and they move like clockwork, with a
long, sweeping, powerful stroke. The
Lurlines, on the other hand, have only
been at work three weeks, and that is
not long enough to prepare for
hard race. Still, the splendid work
of Trainer Breen is apparent, and
they pull in splendid form. j. E.Much-
more's presence will strengthen the
crew materially. There have been some
wagers made on odds of $40 to SIS given
on Winnepeg. If the Canadians win
the race they will start in the Pullman
regatta, and that is an additional in
centive for them. The junior four is
going to be very close race.
The crews are so evenly matched
that the best informed man at the
beach does not dare to pick out the
winner. 1t is toss up among them.
Those who ought to know say that it
will be the race of the regatta, and that
the finish will find the crews punched
together. The Duluth crew shows
wonderful improvement. and Is doing
excellent work. The Winnipegs
have a very heavy crew and very
powerful one in the race, but they
are not sure winners by any means.
The MinnesOtaS have one of their old
time crews out, it is said. j. E. Much
more and Charles Libby will enter the
senior double 'iuSt to make race"
they say, but the Lurline boys are
ready to bet upon them for winners.
They have only pulled
TOGETHER FOUR TIMES
this season, and therefore mucn should
not be expected of them; but the Lur-
line boys remember their prowess in
days gone by. The Winnipeg pair, con-
sisting of those speedy old-timers,
Turnbull and Fox, have little
better show than anybody. Knox and
Brown, of the Minnesotas, are prepared
to make strong fight. In the senior
single j. E. Muchmore, of the Lurllnes,
is looked upon as the winner. but Win
nipeg is out for that race too. She has
j. 81. Turnbull and A. G. l.. Fox en-
tered. Turnbull is rowing very fast
this year, and is undismayed by the two
defeats he has suffered at the hands of
Muchmore. Fox has never pulled in
single race. but the Canadians repose
great confidence in him. He is very
young for sculler, being only twenty
two, but he rows like veteran. The
following tables give an excellent idea
of the crews of the fours:
