were hard behind the ErIeS and r0wed

their stroke, said it was the hardest race
the crew ever rowed. Fancy then what
those great, brawny fellows did in that
dangerously rough water who COM

The record was broken and the men are
not done yet. As soon as the crews got
settled on shore, the subject of chal-

glory within at their victory, which
gives them $780, Hanlan said he
would row his men with the Gaudaur
four for $1,000 in. American waters. He
said he was ready to do that in three
weeks. Gaudaur got this information
and at once went to Hanlan and offered
terms of agreement for the match. They
met at the Spalding hotel, but failed to
agree. Hanlan said that he could find
no boat for his crew. Ten Eyck and
Hamm offered their cedar boat for $3.50.
Hanlan would not buy, said the price
was too high, etc. All this time Gaud-
aur was lying around, like the good
natured fellow he is, and always, as he
said, Eat the service of Mr.. Hanlan and
his men" But nothing has come of
this bantering yet except this: Hanlan
and Gaudaur both have verbally agreed
with the GLOBE that the two crews will

$4,000 or $500 can be raised in st. Paul

The yacht race on Wednesday was
sailed in favorable weather and with
much attendant excitement. One can
not appreciate who has not seen the
sight of twenty-five sailboats chasing
each other in a heavy wind and high
sea in front of thirty steaming tugs
laden with excited passengers eagerly
watching their favorite boat. The race
was an earnest one, and but for the
drowning of G. P. Llndner and James

wealthy citizens, it would have been
much-enjoyed feature Of the regatta.
The course was seven and a half miles,
and the winners were: Nushka first,
starting at II :25 and passing home buoy
at 12:11, followed by ManitOu, starting
IL :26:50, finishing at 12:15:23. Both OF
these boats are owned by White Bear
Sojourners,
Residents of st. Paul.
J. P. Elmer owns the Nushka, and
Eugene Ramaley is the owner of the
Manitou. The Sweetheart, of Du-
luth, took the third prize. The Nush-
kas had chartered a tug boat on the
morning of the race aud were following
in the course. Each time the feet
Nushka cat turned buoy leading her
competitors, the club cheered her most
heartily. Besides this, st. Paul is the
place of residence and business of the
builder of these boats, Joseph Dingle,
of Clinton avenue.
Wednesday afternoon the Mississippi
Valley Rowing association opened with
the Junior singles. in which Nettleton
and Wright, both of the MinnesotaS.
engaged. Nettleton padded around the
course, winning easily in 13:077a. The
Junior four came on in good water, and,
as usual, the race had two fouls, four
crews claiming them. The start was
game and the stroke rapid, the st. Pauls
leading at the quarter, pressed by the
IurIines, they by the Minnesotas, and
Duluth and Winnipeg raggedly follow
ing. The Minnesotas reached the turn
and got away first. The Winnipegs
crowded in front of the st. Paul buoy,
OBTAINING the ST. Pauls twelve seconds.
When the Winnipegs caught return
water the led the St. Pauls three lengths,
and were close tapping the MinneSotaS.
At the mile the Duluths and Lurlines
contested the same water and
Came Together Like Wrecks.
There they stayed awaiting the ref
eree's boat. In the last quarter the ST.
Pauls made a magnificent squirt, and
while the MinneSotas and NushkaS on
the tug boat loudly applauded tnem.the
gallant fellows passed the MiunesotaS
and came to the line just one length be-
hind the Winnipegs. Protest was en-
tered by the st. Panls, who claimed the
foul by the Winnipegs at the buoy. Mr..
Avery. of Chicago, was perpleXed. APP
parently he did not know the first rudi-
ments Of the laws of boat racing, and,
| after calling in help, he managed to
| grind out decision which upon its face
| is evidence OF his 1DcOmpetency. he
ruled that the Duluths and Lurlines
both be disqualified, and that the
foul at the buoy, which was adj
mitted, did not affect the race.
There you are. as arbitrary as
referees powers allow, but as unjust
as it was absurd. The Duluths pro-
tested that the Lurlines were in their
course, and the Lurlines declared that
| the DuluthS were In their water, but
Mr.. Avery's ruling decides neither and
both clubs were disqualified. Then, to
make matters worse. he openly, and
with palpable disrespect to all other
clubs, gave the race to the Winnipegs;
the very men who acknowledged a foul
and the very gentlemen who claimed
the same foul against the St. Pauls on
were disqualified. The race should
have been rowed again, and the Mime
sofas and St. Pauls would at least have
had an opportunity to acknowledge a
fair defeat or exult in a well-e armed
| victory Winnipegs' time 1929. ST.
