recent regatta in San Francisco, will bring
up junior crew from that club that will
probably make a splendid showing. They
will be given a hard race by the Ariel iu-
nior crew and one from the Stockton Ath-
letic Association, composed of Otto Sal
Hugh Braunton, forward waist Carl Sal
BACH stroke; Will Dolan, coxswain.
The trophies prepared for the rowing
races are elaborate affairs, and no expense
has been spared TO make the regatta the
greatest one that has been held in Califor-
MIA since the recent revival of interest in
rowing. A special race has been arranged
for outrigger Skiffs at TIE solicitation of a
number of prominent oarsmen of San
Francisco and Oakland, as it has been the
desire of the committee to give every one
chance and to bring all of the best oars
men of all classes to Stockton tomorrow.
The single scull races are attracting
much attention, and will be one of the
chief features of the regatta. The medals
for these have been on exhibition in one of
the leading jewelry stores to-day. and are
handsome affairs. The diamond medal,
which Will be given as the first prize in the
senior single sculling race, is an elaborate
affair. The best amateur oarsmen in the
State are entered in this contest, and a
strong rivalry exists between Stockton and
San Francisco as to who is the champion
in this class. The prevailing opinion is
that the race is between Frank Duplissea
of San Francisco and Frank Butler of this
city.
The field day games at Goodwater Grove
in the afternoon are attracting widespread
attention. There have been ninety entries
besidethe men who compete in the bicycle

Robert Fyfe, f. E: Manchester, Ed Pache

been selected for those winning first prizes

place in the various events.
