STOCKTON, CAL, July stockton has
been crowded with strangers since early
morning, and all day the streets have been
filled. Tonight there are fully 10000 peo-
pie about the shores of McLeods Lake, and
the cele bration to-day is one that will live
long in the memory of all who were in
Stockton to-day. Stocktonians are nothing
if not hospitable, and those who came here
to witness to-day's festivities have had a
royal time.
After the parade in the morning came
the regatta on the channel, which was wit
messed by several thousand people. who
lined the banks and secured every water
craft that could be had for love or money.
Governor Budd acted as referee, and used
his own launch as the judges boat, The
various tugs were prettily decked with
bunting and filled with sightseers. A
number of launches that had come up
from Belvedere to participate in the car
nlyal OF the lake tonight were to be seen
m owing about among the hundreds of
launches, catamarans and small boats that
lined the course. The catamaran Polliwog
had on board about 100 of the fashionables
of the City, all attired in white, the girls in
duck yachting costumes.
The races were called promptly at 10
o'clock, the first being the junior barge
race. In this, but two crews came to the
scratch, those of the Ariel and South End
rowing clubs of San Francisco. The for

stroke; Edward Wilson Jr., coxswain. In
a har Val
issea, bow; Ed. J. Banning, forwardwaist;
Edward Scully, after waist; Alfred Fritz,
stroke; George Megrill, coxswain.
The last-named crew were the first to
catch water and pulled a pretty stroke,
but the Ariels pulled faster one, gaining
perceptibly before the half mile was
reached. The Ariels were the first to turn
the stakeboat, but the South Ends were
close behind, forcing the leaders to q hot
pace. The gait was too lively and Al
Fritz, the South End captain tainted
about quarter of mile from the line.
The Ariels romped in an easy winner in
10:3113.
The junior single SOULS brought together
McCausland of the Ariels and Giovanessi
and Brown OF Stockton. The first named
won as he liked, though Giovanessi made
MIN row pretty free race to the stake
boat.
The senior barge race was the most ex-
citing of the aquatic events. In this were
entered the Stocktons South Ends and
Pioneers. The Pioneers were made up of
Fred Orr, bow and captain; J. Clifford,
forward waist; ]. Shields, after waist;
George Callopy, stroke; Doc Flynn, cox
swain. In the South End barge were
Henry Bode, bow; Robert Macarthur,
after waist and captain; Gus Carson, for
ward waist; Frank Duplissea, stroke;
George McGrill, coxswain. The Stockton
men rowed: John Perrott, bow; George
q. Chapman, after waist; H. c. Van
Meter, forward waist; C. B. Hart, stroke
and captain; William Dolan, coxswain.
The Stockton men shot ahead at the re-
port of the pistol and set hot pace. The
South Ends were quick to respond, and 1t
was anybody's race to the turn. The
South Ends rounded first, with the Stock
tons close behind and the Pioneers a good
third. The South Ends weight told in the
homeward pull and they came in winner
by several boat lengths, the Stocktons a
good second, and the Pioneers so far be-
hind that they pulled to the boathouse
without crossing the line. Time, 1910.
In the senior shell race all but Frank
Duplissea of the South Ends and II. Witt
kopp of the Ariels were scratched. The
race was all Duplissea's, who won as he
liked in I1:14.
