Charles S. Titus Of the Non Pareil Boat
Club of New York gained his title as
champion single sculler at the saith an
nual regatta Of the National Association
Of Amateur oarsmen on Lake Quinsiga-
mond. Of the nine championship con-
tests today, four were won by two
lengths. two by six and two others by
20 lengths. while the ninth, the senior
eight-oare race, resulted in foul which
caused the referee to decide it must be
re-rowed tomorrow.
The most interesting contest of the
day was the international four-oared
contest, in which five crews started in
cluding the famous Portland rowing
club of Portland, Oregon. 1t was a
straightaway course down the lake, one
and a half miles and from the start it
was a fight between the Non Pareils of
New York and the Pacific Coasters. The
two crews were nearly on even terms at
the half way buoy. but coming down the
home stretch the Non Pareil quartet
drew ahead and won by two lengths.
The Portland crew sprinted continual
" for the last hundred yards. but had to
be content with second place, two
lengths ahead of the Ravenswood crew
of Long Island City, and four lengths
ahead of the Winnipeg men and seven
lengths ahead of the Metropolitans. The
time was 0 minutes and seconds.

yenr volunteer recruits, who in consid-
Grafton Of their educational qualifications
and social position, escaped with only
one year instead of fours years service
Many of these are ex-students and
among the principal spreaders OF the
revolutionary propaganda among the
troops. The officers OF the regiments in

the affair, but from member Of the

learned that the incident occurred during
a movement Of the Ismailovsky guard
and a guard of sharpshooters against 4
position held by the Seminovsky regi-
ment. Grand Duke Nicholas was sitting
on charger observing the maneuver

other and still another, The cry was
raised, "they are firing BALI and the
