Provo and Salt Lake Share the
Regatta Honors.
PRovUs HEAvIEs WIN THE RACE.
Their Kids are Badly Left IN the Rear-The
Attendance was Not Very Large-Other
Railway Notes.

The regatta yesterday was not all that |
could have been desired.
There was not as large an attendance as
one would have had good reason to expect |
There were several bitches that should |
not have been allowed to occur.
Taken altogether, however, the after |
moons sport was quite interesting.
Improved one thing beyond doubt, and
that is Garheld's heavy four must put in
some good ticks between now and the next
regatta, or the handsome badge contributed
by B. f.. Bloch 81 Co., of Salt Lake, will
aEnrn the proud person of some member of
the heavy four from the Garden city Of
Utah.
THE HEAVY POUR
The first race was announced for 80
O'Clock, but it was considerably past that
hour when the Little Harry, with the
judges, referee and HERALD representa-
tive aboard, steamed up to the starting
point, and awaited the arrival of the heavy
four. The Garfelds in blue and white,
were the first to pass the judges boat, and
their appearance did not inspire their
friends with any great amount OF con-
tidence. The Proves soon followed. and
presented much better appearance-the
bronzed condition of their arms and the
precisIoH Will WHICH, tuey Pulleu toSeenSi
told of hard and inceSsant practice.
From the first dip of the oars,
it was evident TO the passengers Oh the
judges boat, that the race was lost to Salt
Lake. The Proves pulled away in good
shape, and right IN their course but the
Garfields went wild, and by the time
Black Rock was reached were away out OF
their course. 'srhe race is over" said one
of the passengers long before half the dis
lance 10 the flags had been covered, and so
it proved to be. The Proves rounded the
flag considerably in advance Of the Gar
fields and held pretty well to the course
for greater portion of the distance on the
return, finally rowing a little wild and
crossing the line some distance from where
they were expected to finish The Gar
fields were still out on the horizon when
the Proves came in. The time was given
as minutes and seconds, but this can
not be taken as accurate.
The crews were: Garfield-Will. Din
woodey, James Farrell, M. K. Mcl1nany.
William Glasmann. Provo-Louis NJ.
Smith, A. l.. Towle, Joseph E. Daniels,
William ID. Wilson.
THE LIGHT FOUR.
The Garfield's light four came out in
much better shape than did their older and
heavier comrades. To those on the judges
boat there appeared possible chance that
"
the disgrace of shpt-out, and when the
Provo light weights put in an appearance
and approached the boat TO receive their
instructions FROM the judges, the confidence
increased that the Gartelds would win with
ease. The general manner in which the
Provo ''kids'' handled their oars en-
couraged hope in the breasts of the
Salt Lakers, and sure enough that
hope was not blasted From the
moment Of taking water until the
turning point was reached, it was just as
evident that the Garfields would win this
race as it was that they would lose the
former one. The Salt Lake "kidsn zig
Jagged considerably, but turned far in ad-
vance of their opponents and pulled straight
away for the starting point, the Proves
tagging away behind. When about three
hundred yards from the starting point they
stopped rowing entirely, and the Garfelds
finished within very few feet from the
starting point. No time was taken.
The crews were-Garteld: Fred Nc
Gurrin, w. Dinwoodey, George Orr, Walt.
Bailey. Provo: Mr. Buckley, S. A. Du-
senberry, Ed. Knowlden, Don r. Coray.
A grand rush for the .lrain was made al
this point, as the only interesting events to
our visitors was over and in a short time
Garfield resumed its usual appearance.
THE SINGLE RACE.
In the single race, Webber against Os
borne, the former won IN $50. Osborne
falling out of his beat about half way u
Black Rock. Those who had their money
up on Osborne do not love him as mucf
to-day as they did yesterday.
THE DOUBLES.
Weber and Will Dinwoodey, Osborne
and Bailey, entered for the double race
which was by the latter in 1910.
