the Winnipegs and ST. Pauls was re-
duced to four; and all the crews were
pulling magnifcently. At the mile and
quarter flag the Winnipegs had a
LEAD OF TWO LENGTHS
the Duluths coming next and last, the
Minnesotas third. followed by the Lur-
lines and st. Pauls two lengths away.
It was a ragged race, however. and no
confusion. They crossed the finish
line Winnipegs first, distance of two
lengths ahead Of the Duluths. They
were followed by the Minnesotas and
they by the Lurlines and st. PaulS. A
protest WIS entered by the Duluths and
st. PauIs, and the referee decided that
the LurlineS be barred, and
that the remaining crews row
the race over again at 1890
Tuesday morning. The Winnipegers
were exceedingly wrath over the deci-
sion, but the referees, Person and Rob
ertsOn, are final in their Judgment. The
st. Paul crew feels badly over their mis-
fortune, as many predicted for them a
winning position. No unior crew here,
however, has that beautiful action and
harmonious stroke that is the charm of
the Winnipeg crew. The greatest event
of the day was the professional double
with these in the shells: Gaudaur
and Mckay, Teemer and Hosmer.
Hanlan and Wise and Hamm and Ten
Eyck. Much money changed hands on
this race, the choice being between
Gaudaur and Mckay and Teemer and
Hosmer. 1t was one of the notable
races of this country, and its features
were highly interesting. All the week
it was rumOred that Gaudaur and
Teemer would pull like demons to
down each other, because Of bad blood
between them, and when the race was
rOwed the rumOrS were verified. The
men were in position at O'Clock. and
FOUR FALSE STARTS WERE MADE.
Ned Hanlan laughed at the repeated
recalls of Starter Robertson, while
Teemer swore that something was
wrong. Great lank Jake Gaudaur sat
in mis- boat looking upon all with indif-
ference. and Hamm and Ten Eyck were

Gaudaur pair AZ; Hanlan IS; Teemer 36;
and Hamm 81. Away they went like So
many set machines. Gradually the
powerful swing of Gaudaur and Mckay
forged ahead, and when the mile
turn was reached they were
two lengths ahead. Teemer pulled

pairs turned about evenly, following

referee decided to give Gaudaur and
Mckay first money, $1,000; Teemer and
Hosmer second, $3.50; and Hanlan and
Wise third, $3.50, with Hamm and Ten
Eyck disqualified. A war of words over
a proposition for another race is still in
progress, and now that Gaudaur has
beaten his rival, Teemer, the lat
ter is desperate. Charles Alf
Williams, bow oar of the Min
neapolis Lurlines, entered an
emphatic protest against the decision
of the judges barring the LurlineS from
participating in the second race. 1--WE
were notified to turn the second buoy"
he said. ''and we did, the Duluth crew
fouling us on the turn and delaying US
fore we did, although VIC began to turn
at the same time. This delay lost us
the race and gave Duluth the advantage
on the return. We entered protest OH
the foul and were surprised to learn
that the race was to be rowed
over because the judges boat fouled
the st. Paul crew, while the Lurlines
were barred for turning the Duluth
stake. The judges decided that the
first stake was only line marker and
did not count, but, strange as it may
appear, we were not notified of that
fact. We don't mind losing the race,
but we do object to being barred from
the second contest simply because the
Judges neglected to inform US that we
were to turn No. flag instead of No. 2,
as we were notified. 1t is an absurdity
rank enough to be called an outrage.
Members of the Duluth crew admitted
to me that we were not to blame. In
the other races the line buoy was used
by the inside crew."
