With all the crews that are to enter,
the regatta quartered at the Lafayette
hotel. interest i'll the events OF next
Monday and Tuesday:increases. and with
the arrival of the Winnipeg men yestefr
day morning some real work began. Be.
sides the oarsmen. the party that arrived
yesterday morning included few
friends OF the boys and two or three
ladies. 1s
Another party. containing perhaps
thirty or forty ladies and other MEM
bers OF the association, will leave VIM
nIpeg tomorrow night, arriving at Min
netonka Beach early in the day on
Monday.
Now that so many rival crews are on
the ground, occupying the same boat
house. living at the same hotel, and ap-
parently on the most intimate terms
with one another, it is rather amusing
to hear the whispered discussions
among the Ten as to the comparative
ability of the different clubs to carry
off the prizes. The Winnipeg club has
never sent down stronger representa-
ton Of oarsmen than those to take part
in this regatta. The junior four is an
especially strong crew, some changes in
the personnel having been made since
last year. This years crew is:

w. j. X. OsDOrne, 2........ ....... no,

Last year Henrdy stroked the junior
crew and Eberts was bow. In the
Junior double are A. G. Hopper ana A.
A. Andrus.
LII the senior single James Turnbull
and p. A. Macdonald. and IN the junior
single p. A. Macdonald will also enter.
The junior crew is said to be the light
est junior that has ever entered the re.
gatta. and the captain of the crew ex-
poets them to do wonders. In sculling
events the Winnipeggers will also make
fine showing. 1t has not been definite
ly decided whether the club will enter
senior four or not. This will depend
somewhat on the result Of the junior
race. lf they do put up senior it will
probably be made up of as follows:
L. w. Huebach, bow; [. d. Morce,
2; A. G. Hopper, 8. and E. b. Lemon,
stroke.
The races are: For the first day,
junior four, senior singles aud junior
doubtless; for the second day, senior
tours, junior singles and senior doubles.
The Rat Portage men. the most husky
crew at the lake. also arrived yesterday,
bringing with them DeSt Brsay, who
says he will row. If he does he will :.
probably row third in the Junior sing lie,
which will be made up as follows: T.
Hackett, stroke; Link. 2; DeS Brlsay.i
3. and Archibald. bow. The Kat Portage.
men will also enter the singles, senior
and junior. -
The question of Des Brisay's eligbil7
1fy for membership in the association
Will be decided at the annual meeting h.
OF the Winnipeg and Minnesota Rowing
association. which will be held at the
Lafayette hotel tonight at O'Clock.
The election of officers will then take
place, and other business of Importance
will be transacted.
The only people now who are not
perfectly happy as to the progress under
way towards making the regatta a per -
feet success are the Lurlines, and, as
the club, has never been noted for its
contented disposition, the fit of dissatIs-
faction that mas attacked a number of
its members since the arrangements for
this regatta were completed is not sur
prising. One grievance after another
mas presented itself, but the principal
reason seemingly for the Lurlines not
being in this year is that they were
afrait of the men they were to meet and
had not the moral courage to stand a
defeat. The effort made by some of the
restless spirits to split up the regatta by
forming new association Is the crown
Ing action of this set of '.boys," and
will certainly not meet with the ap-
proyal of right-thinking Minneapoiitans
any more than it did with the ideas of
the men OF the Duluth club, who were
not to be inveigled into joining a new
