the Minnesotas. AS the hour for the
race drew near, the excitement
reached a fever heat. 1t was nearly
at the boiling point when the crews
left the verandah in a body and hur-

There was then simultaneous

of yesterday were without any excep-
ton the most brilliant of all the af-
fairs of this kind that have ever been
witnessed at the beautiful lake. A per-
feet day from start to finish, an ideal
lake, an immense crowd of people to
witness the triumph of one crew and
the defeat of the other, left nothing
to be desired. From the first train that
left the city in the afternoon to the
last one to arrive before the race,
every one carried hosts of people eager
to witness the first great event of the
season. On the arrival of the special
which left the city at 8 o'clock, at
Wayzata, a large number of the pas
sengers went on board the Lotus,

boats, every available naphtha launch
having been drafted into the service.
The Saucy Kate was used by the
judges and the members of the press.
The arrangements for the event were
all made with very strict attention
to detail, and everything passed off
very smoothly. The race began

CHERRY AND WHITE

stanchion and his right foot hugging
the rail, he was oblivious to all sur
roundings. He saw nothing but the
flash of the oar blades from the side
of the Minnesota shell. And when
the wild cries of delight, the sharp
the screeching of the tugs told him
the race was ours, he collapsed while
a smile of deepest pleasure Ger
spread his face.
Ladies, and hundreds of them,
waved their 'kerchiefs excitedly and
screamed their appreciation. Men
gave vent to their long pent-up feel
ings in countless and varied demon
strations, and the ear drum ratified
in tune to the wild and piercing
whistles of the launches.
1t must not be understood that the
Wisconsin admirers were inactive,
or displeased at these hearty dem
onists. They had hardly dared
hope the race was theirs, and their
faces glowed with pleasure in the
knowledge that they had given the
hardy Minnesota oarsmen the warm
est. struggle of their lives. They
were conscious that their defeat was
no disgrace; they were aware that
they had sent to Minnesota the best
crew ever presented by the univer-
sity of the Badger state.
The time 10:211a was the best ever
made by the crews from that insti-
tuition, and every man in the Badger
boat knew that the showing they
had made meant added impetus to
the art of rowing in their midst.
AS the crowds slowly made their
way to the Lafayette the crews

where there were more interchange

room filled with guests there was a

the victors and the defeated crews

All other events pale into. insig-
nificance, and if any one believes
that the university boys are playing
the sympathetic racket they should
see the expressions of pleasure on
the face of their trainer and their
own. Until long into the night, the
cheering and merry-making held
sway, and when the Wisconsin boys
turned on their pillows they knew
they could go home in the proud con-
sciousness that they had given the
best eight in the Western country
the hardest race it had ever known

died away with the sun, and the

YARRA-YARRA STROKE SUCCESS
The Shores of the Lake Ring With
Cheers as the Boats Cross
the Line.

Won by three-uuarters Of a length.
Time. 1922. A ringing cheer for Min
nesota was caught up by the breeze
and carried to the farther shores
of Minnetonka. The wild screech-
ing of the myriads of steam craft
which dotted the water bore the
news to the miniature hundreds
which appeared here, there and ev-
eryWhere on the shores of the lake.
And they caught the wild spirit of
enthusiasm, and sent back an echo
ing cry.
Proud and breathless the gallant
oarsmen from ST., Paul sat quietly
in their old shell which had carried
them through many a hard strug-
gle.
Calamity and with characteristic
good will the Wisconsin crew
dipped their colors in the hearty sa-
lutte and the exchange of courtesies
over the water was not the least of
the pretty and picturesque scenes on
Minnetonka.

IL was long pun anu d udIN oiie.
Never were the muscles of the Min
nesota men strained to their utmost
as they were in that memorable con-
test of yesterday. 1t was their re-
serve strength and the squirt at the
finish that saved them the day. For
the Wisconsin lads led nearly all the
way, and rowed like a piece of ma
chinery. The superiority of the ia
nous Yarra Yarra stroke was dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of ev-
cry oarsman who witnessed the race.
And it was by far the handsomest
and most exciting struggle ever
seen on the waters of Minnetonka.

possibly the result would have been

Adorn It's Whist Club Rooms.
The great brain battle is over, and
the beautiful Hamilton trophy, the
national emblem of whist superiority,
will adorn the Hyde Park club rooms
of the Hyde Park club, that club
winning by a score of 636 to 612. The
great struggle at O'Clock this morn
ing saw the eight contestants "a
badly used up set of men. The pro-
longed play told most severely on
the Minneapolis team, who were un-
fortunate in having to play con-
tinuously, no oases in the form Of
byes falling to their lot. Minneapo-
lis met with misfortune early in the
afternoons play. AT some point in
the play skill or chance gave Hyde

first eight hands, and the play, which
had dragged in fierce determination,
was carried on with desperate eau

CONSOLATION FOR ST. PAUL.
Straight Whist Match Won by
Her Representatives.

st. Paul does not go away from the
congress entirely empty-handed. Two
of her representative whist players
won the straight whist match at Ma
sonic Temple. 1t was a sort of con
ISOLATION match" and it proved very
acceptable. A good many of the play
ers who had taken part in the more
important contest during the week en-
tered this event, where there was not
the restraint and worry incident TO the
big contest. The large number of en-
tries show how much attached to the
game the players are, for after so
much playing during the week it was
thought the entries for this last, and.
perhaps, least important event. would
be comparatively few. Following are

They had caught the water we'll

burst of applause from everywhere.
And the compliment was scarcely
less audible when the long prov Of
the Wisconsin shell appeared on the
shoulders of the brawny Badger
eight. The steamers, led by the
Saucy Kate, bearing the judges,
steamed off down the course fol-
lowed by hundreds of smaller craft
and the lake was temporarily
churned into cauldron. When the
last steamer had disappeared
through the narrows, the cedar shells
of the opposing crews started brisk
ly across to the starting point. The
Wisconsin boys led, rowing leisurely
and about a hundred yards to the
east came the gallant Minnesotas.
They were easily distinguished, the
victors in white trimmed with red,
and the Badgers in red trimmed with
white.
The Saucy Kate drew up at the
buoy, and for ten minutes Whistled
and screeched to warn the other
craft off the course.
The Lotus, bearing the other mem
bers of the Minnesota Boat club,
steamed right down the course, and
created huge swells in which the
shells were likely to founder. 1t
was a piece of very bad judgment,
and the captain of the Saucy Kate
swore his wrath through his shrill
whistle. Considering that the boat
was hired by the members of the
club, no one could understand why
it should be allowed to throw OBJ
stacles in the path of the Minnesota
shell. However, as it turned out, 1t
cut little figure. but it
