and Is, contemplated. This action was taken
at the request of the Winnipeg oarsmen, who
are to row in the Canadian Henley regatta at
St. GATHERINGS Ont, Aug. and 4. It would
be almost impossible for the Canadians to par
ticipate in two big events in so short time
and do themselves justice, 50 their request was
granted AS a reward for acceding to their
request, the WtnniDeggers will contribute toward
making the regatta even greater success than
at first anticipated by sending a junior eight
cared crew in addition to the senior eight.
Not to be outdone by Winnipeg, the Duluth
club has decided to abolish its contemplated
regatta July 10 and will spend all Of its
energies in preparing for the Minnetonka event.
In addition to this the Duluth club has prevailed
upon the Fort William and Port Arthur crews
to call off their regatta scheduled for July /,
in which Duluth also was to take part, and to
