LAKE GENEVA. Wiz, Aug. 16-At 10
O'Clock this morning the chances seemed
TO be that the wind and rain between
them would cause a further postpone
ment OF the international junior double
and four-oared races. But at noon the
rain ceased falling and the water be-
came substantially calm. At O'clock
promptly the four doubles were on the
line with steam yacht as referee and
press boat combined. The Minnesotas
mad the inside or sheltered position,
with the Riversides, of Sioux City. next
TO them and the Catlins and Dubuques
further out. The starter, who was evil
IDENTIFY officiating in that capacity for
the first time in his career, got all the
crews backing water and then gave
them the word, or rather dropped flag.
The race was practically settled in the
first ten strokes. When that number
had been taken the Minnesotas opened
water on their nearest competitor. From
this point TO the turning stake, three
quarters OF mile, the gap steadily
increased, and Houghton and Mabon
had turned their buoy when the Catllns,
who were second in the race, reached
theirs. The. MinnesOtas padded slowly
home. but were unable, although they
stopped rowing entirely once, to reach
the finish line less than ten lengths in
front of the CatlinS, who were leading
the Dubuques about half that distance.
The Riversides capsiZed few minutes
after rounding their buoy, and some un-
known hero in row boat rescued them.
Parenthetically, the ubiquitous row
boat is the chief nuisance at a rowing
regatta, but the dozen steam yachts that
followed the races today from one end
of the course to the other and return,
kicking up no end of Swells and coun-
ter swells, must be awarded first place.
LII every one who resides at Lake Cen
eva does own steam craft of some
kind, the OarSmen now there ne trans
tents would prefer that they should
hold their parade at the other end of
the lake from them. The Minnesotas
won the international junior four-oared
race with the same ease that
their club companions won the
double. with the exception that
the Iroqnois crew stuck to them
for quarter Of a mile. The Minneso-
tas hat such an excess of speed over the
StiFer contestants that, when they
found that they were out OF their own
course, they took the buoy shandiest to
them and then avoided the other crews
on the trip home. The Dubuques fin
ished second, Iroquis third, Riverside
fourth and Pullnlan last. Friday and
Saturday are to be the senior DAYS of
the regatta, and the Oarsmen that are
entered for races on these days are
strictly in the nrst class. The Mime
sofa Juniors entirely outclassed the ma
tsrial pitted against them.
