BLUE AND GOLD
OARSMEN WIN
At EL CAMPO
Show Dashing Style
in First Start.

The rowing regatta held yesterday at
Ell Campo was d decided success. Though
the day was dull and cloudy, a large
crowd was in attendance and the races
were carried out with commendable
promptitude The water up to l O'Clock
in the afternoon was smooth, and though
the breeze freshened considerably after
that hour, there was at no time any sea
running. The most interesting event of
the day was the winning Of the junior
barge race by the crew from the UnIver-
sity Of California, which came to the
start in good condition, Established a
lead early in the race and never lost it.
The victory of the blue and gold was
popular among the oarsmen, and the uni
versity boys were the recipients of many
congratulations.
The two divisions of the Naval Militia,
n G.. c., in their ten-oared cutters, rowed
Il hard race, which was productive Of
much interest. The senior barge race
was won by the Alamedas, though the
Ariels made them work for their victory.
The Dolphin intermediate crew, entered
for the senior barge race, was without
Victor Caglieri, the bow oar, and c. NJ.
Farrell was substituted for him. Every
man in the boat had had a previous race.

competitors, and having stroked the
junior barge crew, and G. NJ. Farrell, VINO
rowed No. in the junior barge. The re-
lay swimming race between teams of ten
men from the Olympic and Lurline clubs
was close and exciting, the Olympics
keeping the lead for the first seven or
eight relays but the LurlineS overcoming
it and winning in the last two or three.
The Olympics were without the services
of j. Hobson and Otis Cradle, two of their
best swimmers, yet were beaten by oniy
a narrow margin.

crews of the architectural class of the
