and at the narrows fouled. The Winni-
ahead, and not single crew
was then in its own water.
all were called back for a fresh start
This time all caught the water together
and hustled away like scared rabbit at
forty stroke. which. however, was not
long sustained by any but the boys from
the Zenith City. The Minnesota and
Winnipeg fours soon settled down to
thirty-six stroke. and Rat Portage
fell to thirty-two. The Winnipeg
boat was showing the Duluth
shell hard as they approached
the narrows, and as they entered them
Duluth was probably a length ahead.
The Minnesotas were holding their own
OFF to the right and leading the Rat
| Portage four Shortly afterwards the
colors of the Minnesotas were advanced
to second place, and a boat length or
| two behind the Winnipeg and Rat
Portage men were
HAVING AN EXCITING RACE.
This was about their relative position
until the boats got within quarter of a
mile of home. The Duluth boys were
! still hanging on to their forty stroke,
but showed signs cf weakening.
/ In the finish, Stroke Bend, of the
Minnesotas, called upon his men for
| squirt, and they responded nobly, in
| creasing their stroke to forty
| clip. The Winnipegs did the
| same, and the Rat Portage men
| got little more speed in
their stroke. Here the battle was
! fought, and there was not man who
,, did not pend to his oar with determi-
| nation to win. As the boats crossed
the line there was wild outburst of
| applause. and above it all could be
heard shouts of Minnesota wins"
Duluth wins"
The judges alone seemed to know the
| result of that terrible finish. The
| Duluth men had defeated the Winni-
| pegs by about half a boat length, and the
! latter had beaten the Minhesotas- by
only two feet. Scarcely length behind
were the hardy OarSmen from the Lake
of the Woods. Thus was fought and
won the greatest Junior race on record
! in the history of the association. The
Duluth four will carry home the new
81. 200 cup presented by the London
d Lancashire Life Assurance Company.
| The Winnipeg crew is not satisfied
with the result of the race, and will to-
day enter the senior four race, simply
to nave another chance at the victorious
| four from Duluth. The men from Win
| nipeg say they would have won had
they not encountered the swells from
launch. BY this four entering the
| senior race Winnipeg will be represent
ed by two crews. The Duluth
men are now seniors, and will
| today cross oars with the famous senior
r,fr 2 If 70 ll,
| conceded the Minnesotas will carry off
| the senior events. The postponed
races will be roWed this forenoon, pro-
yidng the water is in good condition.
The senior scullS went out for their
race last evening, but were recalled.

| ANNUAL. MEETING.
The annual meeting was held at Hotel
Lafayette. The Winnipeg club apollo
gized TO the Lurllne club for changing
| the dates from July q and 25 to July
| 80 and 81, and placed the blame for the
change upon the agent of the Great
Northern at Winnipeg. The dis
tsnce for the Commons medal was
a quarter mile. The election
q officers will occur at meeting
in March. In future the races of the
| association will occur on courses to be
named by the clubs in order. The
| clubs now in the association are the
| Minnesotas, LurlineS, Rat Portages,
| Winnipegs and Duluths. 1t is not
| likely, however, that that the race will
| often occur elsewhere than at Lake
| Minnetonka, which offers by far the
best facilities tor contests of this char
acter. The eligibility of De Brlsay to
! row in amateur races was referred to
the status committee.
