and life everywhere, were the concomi-
tants of the last day of the Minnesota
and Winnipeg regatta. No grander
auspices ever carried to perfection a
grander race than the great single scull
contest rOwed by the wOrld-renOwned
professionals. Gaudaur, Teemer, Hos
mer, Hanlan, Wise, Ten Eyck, Hamm
and Mckay. At o'clock in the after
noon. when these crowned kings of the
rowing world appeared at the starting
buoy, all Drawn, muscle and nervous
action. there went up cheer from
thousands of threats in honor of
the aquatic kings. The ovation
was complete, and these fine
trained athletes, so agile and power
full, and such perfect specimens
of manly physique. sat in their shells,
each confident of achieving fame. The
course was full of logs, and dangers be-
set each frail she'll. When the shot was
fired it thrilled both spectators and
scullers, and the eight great oarsmen
were off. "Gaudaur leads at the quar-
ter" was the cry Of 10000 men, and
the big fellow heaved and swung
away at thirty-three stroke. On they
went, Teemer pulling his powerful
stroke of twenty-seven: HOsmer, no
BILE, earnest little sculler, cutting the
water Clearly at twenty-seven; Hanlan
pulling thirty-two, the
Ideal Stroke of the Race;
Wise following close with measured
stroke, and in this order they heaved
and pushed and pulled to the half-mile
buoys. AS Mckay reached the mile he
ran into log, and punctured his shell.
which he managed to right and back.
Gaudaur reached his buoy, and turned
easily, his great left arm holding, while
the muscles of his right quivered
and played about their tendons as he
pulled, and catching the water on the
return two lengths ahead of Teemer.
But Teemer was there, and turned sec
ond, hugging his buoy, and plunging
after Gaudaur. Hosmer reached the
turn third, with Ned Hanlan follow
ing closely. When these contestants
for third money rounded their buoys
they were both four lengths behind
Teemer and seven lengths behind the
invincible Gaudaur. A hurrah extend

Every boat afloat went after them.
Gradually, but with telling power,
Gaudaur bent to his work, and as ar

In the last half the landscape widened
between Gaudaur and Teemer until ten
lengths divided them, HoSmer pressing
Teemer two lengths behind, he followed
by Wise and Wise urged by Ten Eyck
and Hamm. Now the excitement was
intense and men and women yelled
themselves hoarse urging their favor

had been wagered On the result. Men
threw their hats overheard and the cap
tains of steamboats, were loudly admon-
ishing the recklessneSS aboard, but to
no avail. All was chaos and disorder
and a general panic could not have made
the uprOar worse. When in the
last quarter Teemer looked around
and seeing Gaudaur leading by fifteen
lengths he redoubled his efforts. Such
strenuous efforts were never before
seen in sculllng contest as Teemer ex-
hibited in the final dash. Gaudaur
moved like pendulum and at every
stroke he gained. No man lives who

people were deafening. 1t took eau
dour 10 minutes and 81 seconds to row
over the course, followed twenty
lengths behind by the great Teemer in
2O:0511, and he by Joe Hosmer in 1925.
No more famous array of scullers

buoy he found the fine of his she'll was
bent, probably in passing over log,
and he was thus disabled and prevented
from continuing in the race. He OPEN
ly challenged Gaudaur for $1,000, the
race to be rowed over the same course
within six weeks. Gaudaur accepted
it, saying, IF you mean this, meet me
at the hotel tonight, but If you are
again bluffing, then shut up" Hanlan
declared his sincerity, and then turned
to the crowd and said he would race

for $1,000. Again Gaudaur replied that
he was his man and then went to his
dressing room. Teemer avows that he
will now go into active training and
challenge Gaudaur. Gaudaur said to-
night that as a gentleman he considers
the treatment he received at the hands
of HanIan, Teemer, Wise and those OF

outrage. Il came among these men
and beat them fairly, squarely and with

and jealousy so blinds them that they
can see nothing in their conqueror but

done his best to injure my reputation.

these circumstances always has for the

Brown, of the Minnesotas in 1922;
Brown, 1926. The junior double was
won by Nettleton, and Paget of the
MinnesOtas in 1000; Winnipegs,
1929: Lurlines distanced. This was
the first time Paget ever rowed double
and his figure in the victory is mar
yeled at. The senior four was won for
the third time by the LurlineS in 9:0811a;
Winnipegs, 9:22. Again lNettleton, of
the MinnesotaS, won the junior single in
1885. Fitzgerald, of the Lurlines, fell
overheard near the finish. The senior
double was the hardest race rowed
here by amateurs during the week.
The Lurlines won in OFT; Minnesotas,
9:171z. With to-day's races the regatta
virtually closes, and the visitors are
fast leaving for their homes. There is
still the Consolation race, open to all
scullers, and it may be rowed Sunday.
The report that Hanlan is about to re-
tire is refuted by word of mouth, and
in his action this afternoon he is still
with them all. The junior four, includ
ing the postponed race set for last Mon
day, was rowed this morning and won
byI Winnipeg in s:56; Duluths, S:O6;
Lurlines, 9:021a. The Winnipegs have
won all the junior races and the Lur-
lines the seniors.
