weeks last pas. Any one who loves
clean sport could not have watched the

but the ArgOnauts rounded their buoy
more successfully than the Minnesotas
did theirs, and the race home was COM
menced on nearly equal terms; and
how they did come. y little more than
hundred yards from the finish there

MinnesOtas were seriously handicapped.
The Toronto double held two of tho
