The Minnesota boys are a model lot of
tanned young fellows who prize health
conserved in the exercise and sport
which is the peculiar province of gen
tlemen. That vice-begrimed entity,
with body composite alleged to be
cornStarch, rice paper, vapor, wind and
nicotine the dude-has no more place
among the hardy fellows who row and
joke, wreStle, run, gambol and match
each other in friendly fray than it has
with the brains it affects.
Those Who Row.
OF the men who win Unsuitable appe-

tbrobbing natures, few most active

Roberts 141, and William Armstrong
1872 miles. This four compose the most
promising junior crew the club has
trained since 'S6, when Brown, Baxter,
Jaggard and MacLaren rowed their
famous record down to 12:4l for two
miles with turn. The junior crew of
this season will 90 to the Winnipeg re-
gatta, which will be rowed in Canada
some time i'll July. Minnesota has no
fear of the result. These young men
are workers, all of them; they are earn
est and studlous in their practice, and
careful and arduous in training. Each
day they glide swiftly up and down the
course. sometimes with their trainer,
John Kennedy, and again at their own
volition. Lew S. Bigelow strokes the
crew with admirable form and power
Peabody rows three, Roberts two, and
Armstrong steers perfect course in
the bow. They are rowing fast, mark
that! but it would be nothing short of a
betrayal of confidence to give away
some of their recent time records. The
CanuckS will meet in our bays, foes
worthy of the strife, and if last years
records at Duluth define the POSSIBLE
ties with other crews in the coming re-
gatta, then Minnesota will dance over
all boats.
Continuing the mention of the active
oarSmen, Herbert Brown is next in the

0arSman he remains year after year.
