Fitting Celebration of the Day in
the Prison City.

SerVeQ Ill GillS CITY yesterday, anu
large number of people were in the
city. The programme was we'll ar
ranged and all of the events were ex-
citing. Long before the hour appointed
for beginning the aquatic sports the
levee was crowded below the bridge
and a large crowd also congregated on
the bridge. Others secured boats and
showed out on the lake, where better
view OF the races could be had. The
first race, single skitf race, was called
shortly after 10 a. m, and DE Sta1ney
and Farnham, the only two contestants,
started down the lake one mile and re-
turn. On the downward stretch both
men kept even, but coming back De
Staffney gained gradually, and
won by about five lengths. The
next race. a four-oared bateau
race, was the main event of the
day, and a large amount of money
changed hands on the result. Three
boats were entered, the white, McHale,
coxswair, having the Minnesota side of
the lake; the red, Underhill. cOXSwain,
having the center, and the green, COrrl-
gan, cOXSwain, having the Wisconsin
side. At the start the McHale crew was
the first to strike the water, but the 9th
erS followed almost instantly and the
race began amidst the cheers of the
large crowd. The red boat dropped be-
hind the others, who kept very close,
and the turn, one mile distant, Was
made by the McHale and Coirigan
crews almost simultaneously. On the
home stretch the McHale crew gained
gradually and beat the Corrigan crew by
about length. The Underhill crew was
about two lengths in the rear. The time
made was Thirteen minutes and nine sec
ondS and is considered remarkably good.
rhe leading race in the afternoon, and
the closest of any, was the twO-Oared
bateau race. in which four boats were
entered. The race was won by Golf
and Donovan, La Fluer and Underhill
coming in second. AT the finish there
was not lengths difference between
the first and the last boat. In the last
two-oared bateau race, Reilly and Con-
nOrs easily defeated OBrien and Nc
Intire. At the prison the day was also
celebrated, and the exercises were thor
Oughly enjoyed by the cOnvicts. Rev.
Father Conley, editor of the North
western Chronicle, at st. Paul, adj
dressed the inmates in the prison
chapel. after which they were allowed

until dinner time. A game of foot ball

will be long remembered by the i'll
mates OF the prison.
