gram, the single SOULS, was announced. Two
men, F. F. Carruthers Of Winnipeg and Samuel
MARS Of the Minnesota Boat club, were entered
in this event, and. altho Carruthers took the
lead at the start and held it thruout the race,
the contest aroused great deal Of enthusiasm
among the spectators. Carruthers pulled a
beautiful smooth stroke, rowing in perfect
form down the course and giving q splendid
exhibition Of quick recovery. MARS relied on a
slower stroke and rowed steadily, but he was
unable to overcome the lead Of the Canadian,
and Carruthers won by eight boat lengths. The
Canadians time ten minutes fat.
Three crews were entered in the senior tours,

The climax to the program came with the
eight-oared contests between the junior crews
Of Duluth, Minnesota and Winnipeg. These
crews were made I'D Of men who had never
rowed In a winning crew in the races Of the
association, and, in the opinion of the men who
had been following the work of the crews at
Minnetonka, they were practically evenly
matched. .
Winnipeg, rowing a thirty-s stroke, took
the lead at the start and held it to the Mar
rows with Duluth second and Minnesota, rowing
a thrtytwo stroke. in third place. At the
mile Duluth crawled breast Of Winnipeg, with
Minnesota boat length to the rear but here
Coxswain Foley called on his crew to hit 1t up.
and the St. Paul men, rowing splendidly, pushed
their boat to the 'front.' One hundred yards from
the finish It was impossible for spectators to
tell whether Duluth or st. Paul had the lead,
and the race was not decided until the last
ten strokes. The Duluth crew, responding to
the demand of Coxswain Marshall put all their
reserve energy into their oars and shot across
the line yard ahead Of St. Paul. Winnipeg
finished third not two yards back Of the st.
Paul boat. Two men, Church Of Duluth and
Stringer Of St. Paul, collapsed at the finish
but were revived by water thrown by the crew

perts who watched this race the form shown
by the Minnesota boat during the last halt
