toned the Holding Of Regatta.
The Pacific Athletic Association at it's
recent meeting sanctioned the big regatta
which is to be held on Oakland Creek on
Thanksgiving day, and s. ]. Pemb broke,
the commissioner of rowing and chairman
of the regatta committee, has completed
all arrangements for the affair.
The regatta will be held under the aus
pices of the Pacific Athletic Association,
and the list OF events will be somewhat
different to the usual regatta programme
Instead of having all amateur races there
will be an old-time oarsmen's race and a
cutter race between crews from the Naval
Reserve and warships which may be in
the harbor at the time.
A handsome trophy will be put up for
this event and as the Naval Reserve bows
have been anxious to try conclusions with
some of the United States navy oarsmen
they will be given chance in the coming
regatta to settle the question of supremacy.
The race Will be rowed n the six-oared
cutters, with a cockswain, and will be over
the regulation mile and half course with
a turn. As the United States battle-ship
Oregon and the monitor Monadnock are
in port at present an invitation will be ex-
tended them to get crew in training for
the event.
DR.. Cecil Dennis. cham pion rover of
the Alameda Boat Club, but now a mem
Der OF the South End Club and lieu
tenant of the Naval Reserve, is doing all
in his power to- engender an interest in
rowing races among the battalion men,
bers, and an effort will be made to have
cutter races between crews from the diff
ferent companies of the reserve semi.
annual occurrence.
Another feature of the great regatta
mill ho no ri al- ha{r
old time oarsmen.
With such men as Henry Peterson, the
champion sculler; Jack Dunphy, John T.
Sullivan, Dan Leahy. Charles Long, Will
liam Growney, Dan Dougherty, William
Thomas and other old-time cracks
matched to row race the public will be
treated to contest as exciting as they
used to enjoy in the heyday of rowing,
when these men were in their prime.
A junior outrigger skiff race has been
added to the regatta programme and the
list of events to be rowed will be as fol-
lows: Senior single scull, senior and
junior outrigger skiff, senior barge, inter-
mediate barge, cutter race, old-timers'
outrigger skiff race, and probably race
between crew from the Colum bia and
University Boat clubs.
