HOW THE DIFFERENT CLUBS WILL
BE REPRESENTED IN THE
ROWING REGATTA
OUT AT LAKE MINNETONKA.
WINNIPEG, MINNEAPOLIS AND ST.
PAUL THE ONLY CITIES THAT
ARE REPRESENTED.
DULUTH DIsAPporNTs THE REST.
Believed the Zenith City Men Cannot
Get Away From Business-Lur-
lines in Strong.

Secretary Henry Blakely, of the Min
nesota and Winnipeg Rowing associa-
ton, yesterday received the last of the
entries for the coming regatta on Fri
day and Saturday at Minnetonka, and
the finishing touches are being given
the arrangements for the interesting
event. The officers of the association
are inclined to be disappointed at the
action of Duluth in not participating in
the different events, the only eXplana-
ton which is forthcoming being that
the Zenith City boys cannot get away
for the two days. The Rat Portage
men also have found it impossible to
compete, so that the interest will CEN
ter on contests between the Minnesotas,
Winnipeggers and the Lurlines from
Minneapolis, who have not been say
ing very much, but who will have men
in some Of the events. There viii be
seven races, four tomorrow and three
Saturday. The distance will be mile
and a half straightaway for all save
the quarter-mile dash, for which there
are half a dozen entries. There will
be a meeting this evening at the lake
when the officials of the day and the
final arrangements will be agreed upon
formally by representative of the clubs
taking part.
The judges will have a boat in which
to follow the races. and the Great
Northern people will run whatever
trains are necessary to take the crowds
to the races. The course will be from
the Lake Park hotel to the Lafayette,
where the finish line has been placed.
The quarter-mile dash for the Com
mons medal will be competed for by
Charles Johnson, Winnipeg; P. b.
Walker, Lurline, and the following
sprinters from the Minnesota Boat
club: Tan" Langford, William Bjorn-
stad, Harold Bend, Percy Houghton
and Leavitt Corning.
A. H Logan and Charles Johnson
will fly the Winnipeg colors in the
Junior single race; Mr.. Walker will rep
resent the Lurlines, while the Reds en-
tered are George Langford, William
Bjornstad and C. G. Whidden. There
will be three crews out for the Junior
double honors-A. A. Strang and
Charles Johnson, for Winnipeg; w. P.
Christian and ]. S. Louden. for Lur-
lines, and a Minnesota crew which will
as Langford, Bjornstad Whidden,
George Senkler and George Potter
Strang and Johnson, the Winnipeggers
will go after the senior double against
Christian and Louden, of the Lurlines
while the Minnesotas may put in two
crews, Houghton and Langford, and
Bend and Corning. This race promises
to be as exciting as any on the card
and will in all probability be holly con-
tested.
Johnson will pull the sweeps for Win
nipeg in the senior singles against
Walker, of the Lurlines, while Hough-
ton, Bend, Langford or Corning will
hold UP the red streamer for Mime
sofa.
The Minnesotas and Canadians will
battle for the junior four race, and it
should, by all reckoning, be a fast go
to the finish. The visitors will row G.
M. Taylor, r. Benson, A. Mclean and
D. H. Rowan against the local crew
which is to be picked from Bend, Bob
land, Bjornstad, Langford, Simpson
and Whidden.

velops into a contest between the best

son and Harold Bend. Coach Kennedy
