Lurlines Are Rather Exclusive
General Resume of the Com
ing Regatta.
The amateur regattas at Lake Mime
tonka will be on in the course of few
days. Already the greater number of
the participants in the different events
are Quartered at their different hotels
The WinnipeggerS came down Monday,
and although several of the older and
better known faces, such as Fox twho
is at home sick), and Ashe (WhO has
gone to Montreal to livel, are conspicu-
Gus by their absence. still their party
numbers twenty-five. of whom about
ten or twelve are oarsmen and the
others friends of the boys. In the
Winnipeg party came: Capt. Gait. J.
FL. Turnball, W. F. Alloway, w. Jack
son. A. w. Law, q. Drury. r. J. Hauden,
Harry Luxton. of the Free Press. W.
Todd. e. Taylor, z. Camel and E.
Jarvis.
The Winnipeggers will enter for only
three events. the senior and junior tours
and the Junior double. Their crews
are: Senior Four-P. a. Mcdonald.

George L. Gait. captain of the club, is
good fellow and very we'll known all
over the Northwest. In speaking of
the crews yesterday, he said
that they regarded it as a
very great misfortune that Fox, who
is the champion single sculler, should
be ill and not able to enter in any of the
events this year. He says, ueverthe-
less, that the boys are down here to
win, and that they expect to take home
their share of the prizes. AT the re-
gatta last year they won in three events.
ana although their senior scnler is not
with them, and they will probably not
be represented in the senior sculling
and senior double events, still they
hope to do something in the events in
which they are entered. The Winnipeg
colors will be white or blue.

The Minnesota Boat cluU boys are
also quartered at the Lafayette. Most
of those who will take part in the
weeks event are the old OarSmen, who
have won Iaurels for themselves in past
regattas, and expect to do as we'll again.
Nettleton and Armstrong compose
very strong double. The senior four
will be made up of w. n. Armstrong,
bow; Percy HOughtOn. second; George
Nettleton, third, and A. Wright. stroke.
The action of the st. Paul club. in en-
tering its full complement of races,
makes it necessary to enter the same
men in successive events, which will
put the crews at considerable disad-
vantage
Percy Houghton and Leslie Mabon
are two comparatively new men, but
both very handy with the oar, and it is
thought that with the former to give the
stroke and MabOn in the bow they VIII
prove to be very strong junior double.
L. L.. Wann, who also strokes the
junior four, will row the junior single.
The Junior four is made I'D of L. l..
Wann, bow; Lester Mabon, 3; Percy
Houghton, 3, and Ed Halbert, stroke.
Two entries are made in senior singles,
George NettletOn and W. n. Armstrong.
The MinnesOtaS have with them nine
shells-two tours, two doubles and five
singles, one Of the tours being a fine
Davis cedar.
They purchased fine $3.50 eight-oared
shell, expecting that the LurlineS would
have an eight, and that they would have
a chance to meet them. President
Steele had said emphatlcally some little
time ago that the MINNEAPOLIS boys
would meet the st. Paul Oarsmen on
Aug. l with an eight-Oared shell, and
the home crew is how doing some kick
ING, with very good reason, after having
purchased its boat, and put in consid-
cradle time in practicing.
The LurIInes
have taken up their abode at the Lake
Park, to the disgust of the other crews.
who expected that they would all be to-
gether at the Lafayette. They have
brought forward all The possible argu-
crowd at the other side of the lake, but
they seem perfectly content to get in
there practice over there out of sight.
The Minneapolis Oarsmen are doing
Iuuch better work this year than last,
and. as the best strength of the club is
in its fOurS, on account of the sickness
of Fox, they feel as though they have
pretty good chance to enter the senior
singles.
The events in which the LurInes
will have place are senior four, which
will be rowed by w. B. GrOsk0pf. A. L,
Burlington, ID. f. Fitzgerald, q. K. FAY
l-r; junior four, c. F. Brown, S. d.
DE Bresay, H. r. Loudon and c. f.
Libby; senior single, ID. F. Fitzgerald;
junior single. G. F. Brown and two
others not yet chosen; junior double. A.
l.. Burlington and one other.
The Duluth club. represented by
junior four and junior single scull
artist, arrived at Minnetonka yesterday.
The annual meeting OF the associa-
ton will be held Thursday afternoon at
