=. Today the Mississippi valley rowing
regatta swings into line. By tomorrow
night the third and last great aquatic
event scheduled this year for Mime
tonka will be over and victors and van
quished will be recoumting their strug-
giles.
OF the rowing clubs in the Mississippi
Valley association, there are now on
the grounds the Catlins, Pullmans, and
Delawares, OF Chicago; the Westerns, of
ST. Louis, Mo-, and the LurlineS anG
Minnesotas, of Minneapolis and st.
Paul, and among these the amateur su-
premacy will be decided. One man
from the Winnipegs, P. A. Macdonald,
has entered for the senior scul! race,
which makes seven clubs represented.
Yesterday President Catlin and Sec
retary ID. r. Martin, of the association.
arranged the programme, and from the
May these veterans in arranging regat-
taS took hold OF things, 1t is evident that

This presents an array of oarsmen
| such as may never be seen on Mime
tonka again. Some of the prettiest
racing will be in the senior
| singles, where the three invin-
cibles, NettletOn, Koenig and Hen
| dersOn, meet. The achievements
of the handy red are well known
! hereabOuts as elsewhere. but it is
| thought that when he runs up against
| Koenig, who carries the green of the
| Western Club of st. Louis, he will have
to handle his sculS as he has seldom
| lldHuIcN LIcul DClOIC VI BCJ IClG III IIlC
! rear. kOenig is the hero of dozen
victories for the Modocs, with whom he
! roWed last year, and has already de-
! feated Henderson, the Catlin sculler, in
! the regatta al Austin, Tex.
| The Western Is an OarSman of ten
! years experience, and has fame which
! may well make his opponents look tC
| their laurels. Henderson is said to be
rowing better this year than he was
when defeated by KOenig. Brown will
row in the junior single for the
Lurlines, which means great
! deal for the white and blue.
He is pulling the same strong,
nervy stroke that carried him to victory
in the Minnesota and Winnipeg regatta,
| and there are many who are willing tC
back Brown i'll the uncertainties of the
Mississippi valley contest. He has foe
men worthy of his steel in j. NJ. Schaak
of the DelaWareS. and Blakeslee, of the
! PullmanS. Schaak Is the son OF Chief
OF Police Schaak, of anarchist fame i'll
| Chicago, and is light, strong young
fellow who has shown great ability
with the scuIls. The senior double
will be a close contest between the reds
| of st. Paul and the greens Of ST. Louis,
| with the husky Youngsters of the North
| the favorites.
DesBrisay and Burlington, in the jun.
iOr double, will have another Whack al
| HOrghton and MabOn, and ii will be
| we'll to keep ones eyes on the blues
What Harsh and HesSeman, of the
| Westerns, will do in this race is one OF
the uncertainties of the regatta. In the
senior dUnbIe, however. the reds will be
| hard1o beat.
