EVENTS may FILL.
A Possibility That a Dou-
bic and Four Will
Come.

If any of the canoe crews which are
entered for the Quinsigamond interna-
tional regatta at the lake, Monday and
Tuesday, beat out the crews the Lake
sides have entered, they will have to
dig their paddles deep and often. The
Lakeside crews were on the water ear
ly last evening, padding on the regu-
lar course above the causeway, and the
way they made those racing canoes fly
was a delight to see. The new four
blade canoe has been fitted with appli-
ances to the satisfaction of the canoe
lists, and the benefit of the appliances
was shown in increased speed last eve
ming.
The hopes of the committee of man
agement for additional entries and the
filling of the double SOULS and four
cared shell races. were raised yesterday
by the receipt of letter from John H
Meagher, chairman of the committee
to Louie Erville Ware, secretary of the
committee. Mr.. Meagher wrote that
he thought crews who are in attendance
at the nationals in Boston would came
to the lake.
The chance. of securing a double soul
crew was probably spoiled in the race
yesterday, when Ten Eyek and Lewis
beat out the Delaware double of Chi
cago. The Wachusett double showed il
could row rings around the Chicago
crew, and the latter may conclude not
to come, in spite of the conditional
promise given Mr.. Meagher.
The prizes for the races will be placed
on exhibition in Easton's show window
TINS morning. There are % medals and
-FOUR shields. Each medal is of gold
Weighing % pennyweights, which is lar
ger than is given by the National asso-
citation, its medals being "a penny
weight. The shields are of silver on an
oak plaque. The shield contains an In.
dlan's head, that being the design
adopted by the Quinsigamond interna-
tional governors They are similar in
every respect to the shield given last
year. They are club prizes, while the
medals are the individual prizes.
The committee has not yet announced
the entries and the results of the draw
lngs. There are eight entries in the
Eyck, Lewis and Kerns of the Wachu-
sets. Mcguire, who races Ten Eyck in
Boston today, Kubic of Springfield anG
JuYenal are among the other entries
In the canoe races, the Tatassits and
Lakesides have entered tours, and the
WabeWawas and Crescents of Walthan

ants who are not located at the LAKE
will come from Boston tomorrow. Two
cars have been provided by the Bostor
q Albany railroad, which will leave
Boston at 1920 o'clock, and are due in
this city at 1.50. A train on the dummy
line will be in waiting to transport the
racing craft to the lake. This train has
been furnished the committee free OF
charge by the Consolidated Street Rail-
way company.
from Boston will be carried back Wed
nesday morning after the racing, with
out charge to the oarsmen and canoe
lists. The purpose in bringing the racing
craft back is not to interfere with the
rates which oarsmen visiting the Hub
have made with railroad companies in
transporting their shells to and from
the ntiaonal regatta.
The owners of stores who were not
visited by the board of trade commit
tee have fallen in line with the men
who were called on, and there will be
a general closing on Tuesday afternoon,
the last day of the regatta.
