The senior single scull race between
young McCausland and Duplissea is at
tracing much attention.
The rowing fraternity were expecting J.
Coughlin of the Dolphins to enter this
race, but he was unable to procure suit
able boat, and will therefore only take
part In the skiff races.
The junior four-oared barge race will be
very interesting, and the knowing ones
are backing the Olympic Club crew to
win, but Stockton promises to send down
a crew that will surprise the natives.
The other crews represented are train
ing hard, and if form is any criterion they
should give their heavier opponents, the
Olympics and Stocktonians, hard race.
In the senior outrigger skiff race are en-

and it remains to be seen what George
Wilson, r. NJ. Ellis and DR.. Cecil Dennis,
who have just left the junior ranks, will
do against such clever men as S. J. Penn

The senior crew of the South End Row.
ing Club-the flower of the four-oared
crews OF the coast-are anticipating a hard
race from the San Francisco Athletic Club
crew. The Southenders defeated all other
crews on the coast in a mile and half
race by about four lengths. but could only
beat the San Francisco Athletic Club
crew by 4 boats length in a three-mile
race, it therefore goes without saying that
this race, as well as all of the others, will
prove very exciting.
In the afternoon the race between the
three companies of the League of the Cross
Cadets will take place. Much rivalry ex-
lists among these oarsmen, and the whole
contingent of the League of the Cross
Cadets is becoming stirred up over the
affair. A large gathering OF the boys will
be at Ell Campo to cheer for their favorite
crew.
The personnel of the different crews is
as follows:
Company NJ, st. Francis Parish-P.
Quirk, L Dinan, G. Monnin and Z. Kane.
Company c, st. Patrick's Parish-F.
Fitzgerald, H. Smith, J. O'Neil, Rob Can
non and Jim Gerran coxswain.
Company l., Mission Dolores Parish
w. l.. Clark, J. Feegan j. Foley, Edward
McKeon and Fred Lane, coxswain.
The crews that will row for special
trophy are training regularly from the
South End boathouse.
The prizes for the different events Ill
be gold and silver medals to the winners
of the first and second places in each race
that has more than two entries.
In addition to the medals donated by
the South End Club Assessor Siebe and
County Clerk Curry have put up q set OF
gold medals for the barge races. Sheriff
Whelan has donated q handsome gold
medal for the senior single-scull event
and Al Rodgers, the boat-builder, will also

for magnificent gold and silver mounted
tankard to be given TO the winner of the

Ed n. Shorthall, Francis n. Haynes, Johr
A. Lenahan, John O'Gara ana Thomas j
Barry-have just graduated from the
Hastings. Law College and been admitted
to the bar before the Supreme Court. The
club has now eight attorneys in its ranks
and race between two crews OF them
would prove interesting.
