MINNESOTA SENIOR FOUR .

Then the visitors from Winnipeg
seemed to feel that the sturdy athletes
from the lake in the North had little
show, and they cheered their tavOrites
as they went out over the smooth sur
face to get Starter Galt's word. This
! boat was manned by p. A. Macdonald,
| stroke: A. Z. Hopper, 3; J. d. Morrice,
=, and f. w. Heubach, bow. A big
crew they were, too, perfect pictures of
gladiatorial athletes.
Minnesota From the Start.
But the red of the Minnesotas was
| soon in the lead when the word was
given. No matter how much enthusi-
asm the admirers of the others ex-
pressed, and no matter how wildly they
! yelled for redoubled efforts, the stroke
of the MinneSOtaS shot their shell to the
front, and that to stay. The Winnlpegs
| and the Lurlines gave a pretty exhibit
| tion. rowing side by side for time, but
| the Lurlines Quickened their stroke and
drew away. The Minnesotas took things
easy after getting winning lead. and
| showed the course over the line in
S:3SM. The Lurlines came second, two
boat lengths behind and three lengths

Brown wins the Singles.
There was mrch less interest taken
in the next event. 1t was the junior
| singles race. The MinneSotaS had but
one entry, T. L. Wann, and he had a
lame wrist The Lurlines had entered
G. f. Brown, rated one of the speediest
! youngsters in the Northwest, while
some stock was taken in handsome
AL Andrews, of the Winnipegs
Indeed, he was the favorite
among some, but the greater number
believed in Brown, and they were not
deceived. The Duluth contingent was
represented by D. F. Macdonald, a
clever and gentlemanly Junior. The
bookies made Brown the favorite in the
books, and the greatest amount of
money went on the place. For this
Andrews seemed TO have the call at one
time, although Wann had great many
| admirers.
i They all got the word together, but for
some reason Wann and Andrews mis-
! understood the shouts cheering them on
that came from the referees boat.

ted in some way, and he suspended ex-
! eltions for moment. and Andrews,
noticing this, also dropped his stroke.
Meanwhile Brown and Macdonald bad
opened wide space of water. Brown
was long way in the lead.
1t was then that both Wann
and Andrews began heavy pulling.
and they worked so hard that
they crippled themselves for short
distance shortly after. Brown lost the
course, and had not his rivals been so
far in the rear it would have been very
difficult for him to have maintained a
lead to the end. AS it was Wann came
up very fast and finished close up. An
drewS succeeded in outrowing MacDon-
aid by several lengths. The time given
Brown was 1910, which is rather slow,
and there Is a claim that a mistake was
made in the announcement.
Easy for Minnesota.
The card showed that the next race
was to have been between the Mime
sofa senior doubles and the winners OF
the junior doubles of the day before
This would have left the contest entirely
between Nettleton and Armstrong, OF
the Minnesota seniors, and Houghton
and Mabon. of the Minnesota juniors.
I The former two drew out, and allowed
the Lurlines TO enter Burlington and De
Brisay. This made repetition of the
race of the night before. The Minnesota
double had won SO handily that they
were prime faYOrites in the betting, but
there were good many MinneapoIitans
; VINO had the temerity to risk money on
their choice. In rough water the course
has been rowed in 9:36. 1t was known
that this time would be- beaten, and
there was no little speculation upon
how much. The race was not especially
interesting. The Minnesota two rushed
to the lead and held it throughout in
$50. The Lurlipes again got out OF
