Great Preparations for the
Regatta.

Nearly all the Minnesota Boat club
boys who are to take part In the regatta
next week arrived at the Hotel Lafay-
ette last night. having sent their boats
ahead of them IN the morning. Those
who registered were L. l.. Wann, n. II.
Langford Jr., Harold P. Bend, w. II.
Armstrong, L. K. Bigelow. j. A. Hal
bert and John a. Kennedy, coach.
With the Duluth men they took lit
tie practice spin last evening, and from
the general appearance of things and
the preparations that have been made,
tue regatta promises to be- success in
every way. The Hotel Lafayette, as
we'll as the Great Northern people. have
given all the assistance possible, and
besides this, the men of the clubs al
ready on the ground are in nothing less
than perfect form. The events i'll
which the Minnesotas will participate
with the crews are as follows:
Senior Four-Armstrong, bow; Hough-
ton, 2; Mabon, 8; Halbert, stroke.
Junior Four-Senkler, bow; Langford.
2; Bigelow. 8; Bend. stroke. =
Senior Doable-Mabun and Hough-
ton.
Junior Double-Langford and Bend.
The senior and junior singles will be
rowed by Wann and Bend.
The Winnipeg and Rat Portage men
are expected today. The Rat Portage
| status is uncertain as yet and will not be
known until Admiral Gait arrives. 1t
| is said that if they insist upon giving
De Brlsay a seat In any shell in any
| race they will be barred from member
ship, as the others contend that De
Brisay is professional and should not
| be allowed under any circumstances to
| row In an amateur regatta.
The details of the presentation of
prizes has not been definitely settled,
but the Winnipeg officials nave tele-
gTaphed the MinneSotas to act for them
in this matter. The races on each day
will begin promptly at o'clock, AMI the
Great Northern has made ample prep
aratioDs for the accommodation of lake
visitors and friends of the Oarsmen.
Each day there will be special train at
$3.50. in conjunction with the regular
train at 4:45. and there will be train
in after the races, aside from the regu-
lar train at 1880. The steamer Lotus,
which, as before, will follow the races.
will meet the train at WayZata, and the
4:45 train at the Hotel Lafayette
Tickets for places on this boat are SELL
ing rapidly, and those who desire them
may secure them by applying to Gard
ner Corning.
Trainer Mahoney- thinks he will be
better able to say what his mems
chances are to win the junior singles
after he has seen the Minnesotas prae-
tice little. The Encouragement met
by the men at the outset has dishealt-
ened thrm entirely. but now that every
thing has been satisfactorily arranged.
and the Lurline boat Is all that can be
desired, their spirits are up again. The
stroke rowed by the junior four of the
Duluths is the one used by the Harvard
oarsmen, and has been found very
effective when the men pull together.
To obtain the best results therefore a
great deal OF practice is absolutely nee
essary. This year the strUke is So to So,
while last year they rowed a 40 to AZ.
