THE DULUTH REGATTA.
Minnesota Will Struggle for More
Than One Prize.

Few st. Paul people know that the re-
gatta to be held at Duluth between the
21st and 9th inst. is one which is at
tracing not only the crack professionals
Of the country, but the amateurs of this
city as well. Gaudaur, Teemer, Hamm
and the other noted course stellarists of
the United States and Canada are on
their way to Duluth. The regatta is di-
yided into tri-sectional races-the Du-
luth local, the Mississippi Valley and
the Minnesota and Winnipeg. The en-
thusiasm grows as the term of
the regatta approaches, and word
about the oarsmen who are now train
ing in ST. Paul and Minneapolis for the
coming event will be of interest to
college aud Sp0rtSmen. 1t is evident
that st. Paul means to grasp at the
large stakes offered at this regatta. The
Minnesotas have had their Junior and
senior crews in training Tor the past
month, while the st. Pauls have devoted
themselves to their trainer, Daniel
Murphy, with that constancy which is
bound to tell in the events to come.
The Winnipeg crews will probably be
one of the most formidable contestants
for the junior crew prize. The Lur-
lines, of Minneapolis, however, are
down to a fine physical and pulling con-
dition, and if they do as we'll as their
trainer, Mr.. Hamm, declares they
should, then Minnesota will make
worthy effort for the junior
stake. The MinnesotaS will send
as their senior four: Armstrong,
bow, Nettleton 2, Wright 8, and Brown
stroke. The men are now in training at
White Bear. The juniors are undecided
whether or not to enter the course on
the day of race. 1t is understood among
oarsmen that they do not feel the neces-
sary ''beef" which the tax will require
over the Duluth course. Besides, it is
intimated that they have directed GU
rious and wondering glance at the jun
iors of the st. Paul Boat club. The
Minnesota Juniors are Armstrong bow,
Lemon 2, Paget 3, and Bigelow stroke.
If they do go up and pit themselves
against the other crews, if training
counts for anything, the Minnesotas
| should stand good chance for
a good record, for they have
been hard at work for two
months. The crews that will meet at
| Duluth are the Lurlines, of Minneap-
| oils; the Winnipegs, the Minnesotas,
| the Duluths and the st. PaulS. I'm.
| less something unusual happens, the
St. Pauls will acquit themselves nobly.
| Not only have the boys been in earnest
training, but they have done all that an
! oarsman can do to put himself in good
| racing condition. They are strong,
| wiry and graceful four: Charles Pettin-
| gill, bow; John Flanagan, 2; l. d. Low
ering, 3, and N. M. Smith, stroke. The
| st. Pauls are bold crew, compact and
| harmonious in stroke, and game for a
longer race than the one and One-half
mile ane turn prescribed for amateurs
at the coming regatta.
| The st. Pauls also enter o. NJ. Nelson
| in the single senior. MI. Nelson looks
fine and shows wonderful speed over
what he exhibited in previous years,
when he won the Junior double in 'S9,
and junior four at Winnipeg in 1887.
Dan j. Murphy, of Boston, who has
| held rank beside the great American
| oarSmen for the past ten years, will ac-
| company the st. PaulS to Duluth, where
he will train them for their final efforts.
The MInnesotas expect to leave St.
| Paul for Duluth the latter part OF this
week. The st. Pauls will leave to-
! morrow evening, accompanied by Drs.
