ToRoNTo,s VICTORY.

In the pa1r-Oared contest the
Pennsylvania crew was the first TO
catch the water. The Torontos
steered absolutely straight, while the
Pennsylvania boys were a trif1e er-
ratio. At the quarter the Pennsyl-
vanians led slightly, and just beyond
the flag the Torontos began to steer
badly, while the Pennsylvania had
Strengthened out. AT the half the
Pennsylvania were leading, but at
the turn the Torontos were ahead,
followed by the Pennsylvania one
and one-fourth seconds later. At the
mile and an eighth the Toronto men
had increased their lead slightly and
eight stroke. Entering the last
eighth the Pennsylvania crew tried
to squirt, but could not, while the
Torontos, increasing the stroke to
forty, ~crossed the line winners by
about two and half lengths; time,
9:46. In the intermediate four-oared
events all three crews caught the
water together, the Winnipegs lead
ing slightly. Both the WinnipegS
and the Excelsiors steered out of
the course. At the quarter the Win
nipegs led slightly, rowing a clean
stroke, while the Metropolitans
splashed. At the turn the Winnipegs
and Metropolitans turned together,
but the former began to draw away.
The Metropolitans tried to hit it up,
but failed, the Winnipegs crossing
the line by two and one-half lengths
ahead, with the Excelsiors several
lengths behind; time, 9:03. The sum-
maries of the days events are:

BETTING ON THE BIG FELLOWS.
More than the usual amount of bet
ting on amateur rowing matches is
being done Most of the money is
placed on the results of the senior
eight-oared race and the senior double
sculls. In the eights the First Bohe-
mian boat club, of New York, will
meet the Minnesota boat club, of st.
Paul, and the Triton boat club, of
Newark. In the double skulls, Van
Vleet and Baltz. of the Vesper boat
club. of Philadelphia, the winners of
last years event, will meet Fred Haw-
kins and Nagle, of the Harlem row.

that the performances of the Mime
sofa boat club, Rat Portage and Win
nipeg crews down here will give pref
ty good line on the work they will do
in the coming Winnipeg re-
gatta, and, in addition, there is anx-

st. PauPs red and white. st. Paul has
sent no double to the national The
Rat Portage men will have to meet
four crack doubles in the race tomor-
row. and many who have seen them go
believe they will win. The big event
of the regatta Is the senior eights,
with entries from the famous Wor-
cester club. the Bohemian club, the
Trenton club and the Minnesotas. The
Bohemians have never been beaten ex.
cept by the Trenton eight early in this
year, and the understanding is that
the men were not in racing trim. Even
then, however, the Trentons smashed
a record to win their race, and only
got in first by an eighth of a length.
The Worcester eight are said to have
been rowing right along in ten minutes
fiat, though on what sort of water does
not appear. The Trenton aggregation
is reported as the best that club ever.

tomorrow ought to be a Smashing good
thing to looK at. The Minnesotas'
chances Of winning the race are
thought by John Kennedy, their train
er, to be even up with. the Bohemian
club crew. Not man in the boat be-
heves in the possibility of defeat, and
there is no doubt at all that the crew
