WAS rowed by j. Il. Morehead and H. Ter

PETERSON WINS.
The third event was for many the most
exciting, though to the masses that crowded
the banks the fourth event seemed of more
Importance. 1t was a professional single
scull, for which there were entered: II. Pc
ttrson, who was for this event handicapped
by minute in the start; W. II. Growney, of
the Ariels, J. L. Sullivan Of the Pioneers,
and George Van Gulpen of the DOlphins.
AT the go" the three scratch men straight
ened in their fragile vessels, leaving Peter
son sitting askew in his seat looking at their
start. But he soon rghted himself and, at
the word, fairly lifted his thirty-one feet
scull out OF the water His gain was ap-
parent from the first until he had reached,
then passed the others, and loud cheers
greeted his plunge under the line on his
return. He won by four lengths in ten min
uteS. Growney was second and Van Gull
pen third. Sullivan dropped out.
THE AMATEURS.
By far the most important event pro-
grammed was the amateur foar-oared barge
race between the Ariels and South Enders.
Each club had won twice and cup and
great laurels depended on the result. Both
clubs appeared in fine trim. The entries
were: South Euds-WIlliam Shea stroke;
C. F. Dahmke, fore-waist; G. Dahmke,
after-waist; William &. Parker, bow, and F.
Healy, coxswain; Arels-H. Wittkopf, J.
j. Larkin, II. Tank, G. Phelau and A.
Carroll.
The start was made evenly and the oars
were piled vigorously from the word go"
the South Enders gradually getting ahead
They had the inside ON choice, which was
the best position. At the turn, off OIL
Wharf, it was seen that their advantage was
great Down they came in the greatest ex-
element from the crowds on shipbOard and
on shore, and just twelve minutes after the
start they crossed the line fully eight lengths
ahead of the Ariels.
The South Finders are proud of their new
boat, recently built at Vallejo and the way
1t went through the water showed the barge
South End will be used in many a close
contest.
NAPHTHA LAUNCHES.
After half hour preparation there was
arace between one twenty-five foot and three
nineteen-foot naphtha launches three times
over the course. The larger launch was
handicapped, on time allowance, at the rate
of twelve minutes to the hour. The race
was won by the launch Annie. D. Reagan
captain. in 4212 minutes, against the larger
launch'S 81 Y solid time.
HE WATERFALLS.
The tug then repaired to the Oceanic
Dock for about 100 more visitors, and at 9
O'Clock stood off Meiggs Wharf. All along
the wharf were seen whitehall boats, ten of
them, waiting the signal for a ten-mile
scurry about the bay. The course laid out
was as follows; From Meggs Wharf around
Blossom Rock buoy, on port side, to stake
boat off Meiggs Warf, leaving said stake

AN EVEN START.
The signal pistol was fired at 2 10 o'clock,
and the start was even, with no apparent
advantage until the white wings had passed
over three-quarters of the distance to Bios
som Rock. When that point was reached
Captain Crockett showed his superior sea-
man ship in rounding the buoy and lacking.
From the buoy to The stake-boat, off Fort
Point 1t was seen that Crockett gained on
the tack and in rounding, but he lost some
in cOurSing to the latter point and lost again
by losing his main boom.

lows: Stewart Menzies (Crockett's boat at
1903 o'clock, Fred P. Callundan at 3:03A,
Captain Bulger at 3:05h, City Front Belle
at 3:05A. Bilge Water at 3:0SA. The others
were farther apart
THE MENZIES WINS.
From there the course was straight, the
wind bellied the sails and the water leaped
from each side as the trim craft reached for
their goal: The Stewart Menzies arrived off
Meiggs Wharf in hour and q minutes
from the start, 400 yards ahead of the 9TH
ers. The F. T. Callundan, manned by Cap
