In boats or launches, and the price of 81

criticised as exorbitant in the extreme.
Judging from the number OF spectators on
the steamers ii Is doubtful il the specu-
lators came out more than even.

Miss Dana Farnsworth, Mr.. Guy Post and
Mr. IL. Z. Judge on the Aquila, and Mr..

Grant and Miss Hanna as guests on his
launch, the Neopha. There were also a
number of prominent people who watched
the races from Bartlett's ooathousc and
expressed themselves as we'll pleased with
the days sport.
Today the interest will center In the
senior fours, in which Seattle will be rep
resented BY men that will be well TO the
front If pluck and strength count for
ANYTHING, whose supporters are confident
that in spite of their short training they
will render an excellent account of them
selves. The knowing ones seem rather TO
favor Ru.rard Inlet for hrss place. but
are not overeonndent. and either Port
land or Seattle may crowd its shell into
first place before the race Is decided.
Both Portland and Burrard Inlet row a
faster stroke than the Seattle crew and
have rowed much longer together, but
the latter are stronger physically, and in
Rurrard Inlet win today the fne cup pre-
scented by the Canadian Pacific belongs TO
them.
The iunior singles will also prove an
interesting event, and both Watson and
Bourgeois are we'll supp orted By their
clubs.
