crowded in this summary are the re-
suits of the first day of the grandest
regatta ever held i'll American waters.
The course was smooth, the wind grow
lls
The sky was clear, the air cool, and the
crowd which witnessed the races from
every conceivable point of vantage on
either land OF craft was exceptionally
large. The inaugural event was the
junior sculls, the contestants being
James Henderson, of the Catlins of Chi
cago; G. 0. Nettleton of the Minnesotas;
and w. h.. Thompson, of the Winni-
pegs. and their rowing positions, two,
one and three. respectively. over a mile
and a half course, with turn. The delay
in starting was tedious, and pleasure
craft persisted in plying upon the
course. Amid the shrieking of tugs
whistles. the resonant blasts of pas
Senger steamers whistles. the clanking
of bells and the burrahS of the multi
tude the start was finally made and the
juniors were off. At the outset Nettle-
ton caught the water with care
and advantage, moving steadily, rowing
with ample reach. and at his established
stroke of SO. Henderson pulled out
brokenly. but with speed, holding posi-
tion equal with Nettleton on his right
and Thompson on his left. Thompson
pulled a SO stroke to the half mile, in
creasing it to 33, which he held to the
finish. At the turn Nettleton led by
two lengths, followed by Thompson and
Henderson III order. Nettleton's cool

son woke up to an active, desperate
swing which threatened to collapse en-
durance, while Nettleton was being
coached by Kennedy, his trainer, from,
without the course Thompson babe
adieu to Henderson, of Chicago, and
forged up to Nettleton, closing the gap
between them two lengths in the
quarter. Tn the last half Thompson
rowed magnificently, pullinga powerful
stroke. Nettleton settled down to a tell
ing sweep at 80 maintained the lead to the
finish with ease, finishing a length and
half ahead of Thompson and twelve
lengths ahead of Henderson, whorowed
with no force after the turn. 1t was
picturesque race, rowed in good time
and won with apparent ease. In the
pools Nettleton sold as favorite. The
teStants Nettleton and Wright, of the
Minnesotas; Daniels and Fitzgerald,
of the Lurelins, and Corbett
and Henderson, of the Cattlins. The
Cattlin pair were hot favorites. Nettle-
ton was handicapped by, Wright who
tagged and could hardly lift his oar at

lengths. The Lurlines were inhar-
monious and out of their course, and
for some unaccountable reason failure
met them everywhere. The grandest
feature of the aquatic fete was the
waiting-start positions of the five junior
crews. AS they turned from the ref

PULLED IN FAIR ORDER
The DuluthS pulled a stroke of 42
in the first half mile; the Lurlines, 40;
the Winnipegs and the st. Pauls, 80,
and the MinnesOtas played their sweep
of 81. The Minnesotas reached the turn
first, followed by tine st. Pauls, they by
the WinnipegS and LurlineS. Duluth
turned last. Here foul was perpetrat-
ed, through ignorance rather than in
tent. The outside of the course is deS-
ignated by white buoys, the inside buoys
being colored and numbered for
each crew. The Duluth crew, mistaking
the post buoy as theirs, rowed to it. and
then, discovering the mistakes crossed
to the inside buoy, about which the Lur-
lines were just turning. A slight COLI
sion and delay, and the two crews found
open water and speed. On the other
side of the course the st. Pauls met
with delay by the referees boat, which
ran into the crew, forcing them to back
water and extricate their boat. By this
they lost "a seconds. By this mishap
the Minnesotas also were thrown out of
their course by the wash from the tug.
As the crews rounded the turning buoy,
the Duluths and Winnipegs had the
lead by one length. followed by the
Lurlines and Minnesotas. Steadily the
Duluth and Winnipeg crews forged
ahead. The gap ofsiX lengths between
