making. They say they were defeated,
and that is all there is to it: and this is
the manly view of the situation that
confrontS them after the events are
done.
ST. Paul lost the junior single yester-
day. and no excuses are offered. Wann
was the candidate from the Capitol
City, and he did his best to win and
perfect the chain of victories. While
he regrets exceedingly that he failed. he
concededs that Brown, the Lurline oar,
is the Speediest.
No CrOWding i'll Speed.
The weather was simply perfect in
every respect. 1t was warm, but the
heat was at no time during the day at
all oppressive. There was scarcely a
breath to disturb the placid surface of
the charming lake. The water never
was seen smoother. 1t was day, in
fact, for record-breaking. and it is con-
fidently claimed by those that are really
the best judges of aquatic affairs that rec
ords would have been smashed had the
winners of the senior fOurs and of the
senior doubles been crowded to their
utmost speed from start to finish.
Whether this be true Or not, the time
was nothing to be ashamed of, and st.
Paul is truly proud of the opponents of
the sport from this city.
The attendance upon the amusements
was much larger than on the initial day
of the races. The trains running from
St. Paul were so crowded. indeed, that
when they arrived in Minneapolis extra
cars had to be attached to accommodate
the contingent from that city. The train
that left st. Paul at / 40 was so heavy
and cumbersome that before it reached
the lake il became crippled, and veXa-
tious delay occurred at Wayzata. The
screen over the smOkestack became
clogged with cinderS and the draft was
shut off, so that the fireman was COM
PEELED TO clean it out before further
progress could be made. All this made
the train somewhat late, but the pas
sengers were happily in time for the
first race.
AS on the previous day the pretty
sheet of water was literally dotted with
all sorts of craft, and each boat was well
loaded with eXuberant and Jealous
partisans wearing the colors of the spe
cial club that they favored. 1t was q
noticeable fact that there was great
deal more of the
Bright Red and White
of the Minnesotas worn than on the first
day of the meet. This showed that st
Paul contributed largely to the monster
attendance of the day. The Lurline
light blue and white was seen every.
where, however. The young ladies o.
Minneapolis, especially, were loyal t.
the handsome and shapely young ath-
letes of the light blue. Whether they
won or lost. these faithful representa-
tives of the fair sex waived their hand
kerchiefs and cheered their admired
heroes.
But the fair wearers of the bright rec
and white we're in great numbers. anC
they seemed to outrival the enthusiasm
of their fair sisters from the Mill City
Dressed in light gowns they looked tht
picture of comfort. The bright color
of the club presented handsome con
trast, and the scene became picturesqu,
and attractive even to the most staiC
and pr0saic old bachelor
Those who bad depended upon sail
ing over the course of the races il
yachts and witnessing the struggle
from this coign of vantage were in il
luck. There was not breeze enough t
move the graceful crafts, and the occu
pants had to content themselves with
view from the distance, and they ha'
only a slight advantage over the thou
sands that lined the shores OF rested il
seats in the boat house or pavilion.
Late i'll Starting.
The races were, as is usual with al
events OF the sort, little late in gettin
Etarted. There were but three races>o
