upon as the winner of this race, and
started well, but after time showed that
he was not an experienced oarSman and
steered BAD course. The other men beat
him badly, Wilson winning in 1925 As,
with Fred Patch of the Dolphins second,
The event of the day was yet TO follow.
This was the senior barge race. There
were three starters in this-the Stockton
Giants, composed of Tom Carkeek bow
Charles Spencer forward waist, &. w.
Chapman after waist, Carl Davis stroke,
w. Dolan coxswain; the Pioneers-Fred
c. Ochs after waist, j. Clifford stroke, G.
FitZsimmons coXswain: South Ends
Harry Bode bow. Robert Macarthur for
ward waist, Gus Carson after waist, Frank
Duplissea stroke, George McGrill cox
swain.
There was considerable delay in get
ting the men off on account OF the con-
duct OF the captain of a steamer. He
blocked the channel for fully half hour
and 1t was with difficulty that the mar
shall managed TO get him out of the road.
When the word was finally given, the
South Ends got away by far the best of
the start. They were u half boat length
in advance OF the Pioneers ana Giants.
The Giants were on their metal, and not
q hundred yards were covered before their
powerful strokes put them on an even
footing with the South Enders! Then the
two crews made race for the stake boat.
The Stockton men reached theirs first
and gained on the turn. The South Ends
were close after them and the race from
the stakeboat to the finishing line was
one of the best ever seen on this coast.
The ores bent like reeds, but under the
powerful stroke of the giants the new boat
of the local club kept steadily gaining until
within about 500 yards from the finish
line.
Then the South-enders worked in sheer
desperation, for there were several hun
dred dollars up on them that had been
wagered by their friends. and they did not
want TO see the cham pionship wrested
from them. Their efforts were without
avail, for the big Stockton crew came in a
boat length ahead after one of the prettiest
and most exciting finishes that has ever
been seen on any of the waters of this
State. AS the local men came IN winners
there were cheers from thousands of
throats, and all the whistles on the steam
ers ana launches that belong here were
set loose. The time of the winning crew
was 1852.
Next came the senior slngle-scull event.
| The only contestants were Al Brown of
William MeCausIand of the Ariels.
The Ariels had won in the two single
events that preceded this and McCausland
was thought to be the best man on the
coast, not even excepting Duplissea, who
beat him here last Fourth of July, and so
the race was thought by the knowing ones
to be his.
Brown was a surprise to the visitors and
to McCausland. The race was q close one
but the Stockton man managed TO win it
by boat length.
The intermediate bargerace was not
pulled off, as the Alameda men refused to
row it. 1t was almost dark and they did
not care to make the attempt. The race
went by default to the South Ends, who
were ready and willing. The junior single
scull event was not rowed, but will be to-
morrow morning. The launchrace is to
take place on the channel.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 9.-Admis-
sion day saw the largest crowd of the
meeting in attendance at Agricultural
Park to view the racing and they saw
some sport in the 2:14 pace that could be
termed real horse-racing. In the second
heat Del Norte, driven by his owner, w. H.
Stimson. and Welcome, piloted by Andy
Mcdowell, fought one of the most stub
bornly contested equine battles ever wit
messed on the local track, the black having
to acknowledge defeat by a short head in
2:1037. As the game animals neared the
stand, fighting for every inch of ground
the occupants of the grandstand arose en-
masse and yelled themselves hoarse.
Outside of the 2:14 pace the two trotting
events, captured respectively by Gazelle
and Mamie Griffin, were dull and feature
less affairs. Welcome took home to the
stable with him the purse hung up for the
pacing event, but in a two-hor contest
Del Norte, who had to be content with
second money, could undoubtedly take the
winner into camp, as he was scrambling
for every heat; while Welcome enjoyed

fat brown one was sold to butcher,
by whom he was killed in a humane
