Columbine 1912.
This event was pulled over the short
course, round the red buoy and return.
The Engineers had the Fort Stevens
dngey manned by four men and four
oars, while the Columbines dingey had
three men and six oars. This was one
of the most closely contested events
of 1.-THE day. The two boats hung well to-
gether for half a mile, when the visiting
crew drew out from the home man. She
turned the buoy 10 seconds ahead. but
gained no further advantage, as one OF
her oars smashed and she was compelled
DO get along without a substitute. From
the time of this accident to The finish
1t was anybody's race, but the Column
hines CREW could not get ahead of it's
opponent, and was forced to take a
back seat. AT the conslusion of this
event the Fort Stevens Life Saving Crew
gave an exhibition which was most ex-
celently carried out They capslzed
their boat and righted her in nine Sec
onds ON the first attempt, and in 61h sec
onds on a second trial, time that Is
considered remarkably fast The tub
race was thrown out OF the program,
only two boys appearing to enter, ana
neither having any knowledge OF the
art of tub sailing

1t was generally expected that the Col
umbla would get away with this race and
several bets were laid during the morning
on her chances. The start was a very
pretty one, only a few minutes separat-
lrg the contesting vessels which held UP
before the wind in splendid style. The
Sailor Boy was the first boat away. She
crossed the line at 1:55:49 followed by
the Bluejay, Chinook, Pearl FVornece,
