ing races at the Lake Calumet Regatta
today, New York again carried off the
honors, the Atlantas scoring victory
over Toronto in the senior four Dared

his mastery rowing on the senior sir

The first event of the day was to be a
row off of the tie race between the Bay
sides of Toronto and the Metropolitans
of New York. John Gray, the bow OF
the Bayside, was too ill to start with his
crew, and they allowed the contest to 60
to the Metropolitans by default.
