elegant shape, and it Is confidently pre-
dicted that the regatta next Tuesday
will eclipse anything of the kind ever
given by the club, and this is saying a
great deal, for at the last annual regatta
the programme was particularly brill
ant. This is especially true of the junior
crews. They have done the most con-
scientious training, and have put the
seniors on their mettle. The races
promise to be exceedingly exciting. a
feature will be the maiden" race. 1t
is a single, and will Introduce the re-
gatta. The participants will be Hough-
ton, Mabon, Shepard and Murphy. and
they are all members of the junior
crews referred to.

The race between the two junior tours
Is anticipated as the great event of the
day. 1t training can fit these youths
for great performances, they should be
in perfect condition, and ready to do
battle for royalty, so to speak. One
crew will be composed of Bend; Jeffer-
son, Langford and Halbert. and the
Dther of Murphy, Mabon. houghton and
Wann.
The next number on the programme
will be the contest between the senior
four against the winners of the Junior
fonr race. This crew is composed of
Armstrong, BigeIow, Nettleton and
Wright. This will be handicap and
the allowance will likely be about 20
seconds in favor of the juniors.
IT.
The junior double will decide who is
to represent the club against the Min
neapolis Lurlines and the Duluth and
Winnipeg doubles at Lake Minnetonka.
Houghton and Wright will pull one
double while Mabon and Wann will
pull the other. The members of the
club are looking forward to this race as
one of the most exciting events of the
day, The first two are the heavier
somewhat, but this does not necessarily
make them the favorites in the guess
ing.
~
But some hold that the browning event
of the day will be the senior double
race. Bigelow and Armstrong are pit
ted against Nettleton and Brown. The
farmer two won the junior race with
the Winnipeg two last year, and are
rated great athletes, although the other
two are slightly the fayorites in some
quarters. Brown, however, is in some
doubt about his rowing. In the event
of his withdrawal, Paget will take the
place, and he is rated one of the best
OarSmen of the organization.

There are three entered in the junior
singles. They are BIgelOw, Wann and
Armstrong. The prize will be an ele-
CANT medal, and the aspirants will
make supreme effort to capture the
trophy.
The prizes will be presented to the
victors by ladies, and this will be one of
the most refreshing portions of the
programme. The eight-oared shell that
has been talked so much about has ar
rived, and it will be christened Wednes-
day. This boat is to be used in the
Mlnnetonka races described last Sunday
in these columns. The Fourth regatta
will begin promptly at 10 o'clock, and
no invitations have been issued, but the
club cordially invites all its friends to
be present.
Edward Newman, the champion long
distance swimmer of the Northwest
issues a sweeping challenge to any
swimmer in the country to compete
with him at Wildwood on the Fourth.
He says he is ready to swim for stake
of from 500 to S400 side.

The great event of the past week in
sporting circles was the twenty-round
scientific grove contest before the Phe-
nix Athletic club last Thursday even
ing. 1t was such pronounced success
that the Votaries are now importuning
the management to secure these two
wonderful opponents of the manly art
for another meeting in the near future.
Maber was seen yesterday, and he stated
that he is ready to sign articles. and
there is no reason on earth why Moore
should refuse to go on again with the
shifty kangaroo. He is confident that
he can again demonstrate his superb
GRITTY, and the chances seem to be that
the Two will again be matched before
the Phoenix club.

The next great event before the Phe-
nix Athletic club will be the twenty
round glove contest for points between
