Reception Success.
There was different kind Of com
| petition among the oarsmen last night
than that of yesterday afternoon. The
magnificent club house of the Ottunl
wa Oarsmen was the mecca of the
young army of visitors and a great
number of members Of the club, the
latter acting in the role of delighted
hosts and hostesses. The competition
was mostly centered about milady,
and the events were mostly singles in
both the junior and senior classes. The
j club house was prettily decorated with
Japanese lanterns strung artistically
about the large veranda, and the prom.
enading of the gay crowds added to
the beauty of the scene. The interior
of the club was equally as attractivs
as the large veranda, and dancing
furnished the chief amusement ia
those who braved the less comfortable
atmosphere of the enclosure The OF
tumwa Harp orchestra furnished the
music. At various places on the veran.
da large punch bowls were stationed
and committee Of young women
served the delicious beverage. Miss
Martha McGavic and Miss Blanche
Bowker were chairmen of this com.
mittee, and they were assisted by
Misses Margaret. Mahon, Elizabeth
Merrick. Grace Binks, Laura Mytton,
Mary Miller, Clara Norfolk, Verna
Frazier and Gertrude Lynch. The re-
ception hours were from s to 1880
I clock.
Regatta Notes.
4 M. J. Burke of the st. Louis Post
4 Dispatch is covering the regatta
events for his paper Mr.. Burke, al
though not giant in stature, is long
on this regatta dope, and he can pick
the winners with an accuracy that
would do many a more famed seer
credit. Burke has the unusual dis
tinction of being a thoroughbred
} micque who can mingle with tile
Dutch of the Mizoo metropolis with n
grace that would put a regiment of
Teutonics TO swallowing pretzels, hole
and all.
DR.. E. J. Lambert will have to oper-
ate on his own throat when the re-
gatta comes to a close tonight. The
strenuous voice exercise he indulged
in yesterday in the role of commodore
put his vocal cords on the blink badly.
F. T. Lynch injected a little lnb"ica.-
) ing oil in e. Us speech-maker. but 1t
did not have the desired result. AS u
result, both Lynch and sood natured
Stevie were called into service as IN
derstudy starters.
J. M. Jogl and J. H. Jeilan OF the
Chicago Boat club, who are represent
ing the Windy city oarsmen as dele
gates at the regatta, are most entnu-
siastic lovers of the great aquatic
events. Despite the fact tina. they have
no crews in the races, they served
YESTERDAY in the judges stand as tim
ers and performed other duties where
necessary in aiding the officials of the
events.
:. For unalloyed enthusiasm over the
l. races yesterday J. l.. Joachern OF the
Western Rowing club had evsrybordy
). beat to the buoy. Joachem's chief az
traction was conferred in Oscar Wolfe,
4 the Westerns entry in the singla shell
n and half mile dash events, and the
game of coaching emitted f.oin The
: genial Joachem man would llaye en-
n couraged an Egyptian mummy to &C.
tivity Joachem, by the way, is enc OF
the oldest oarsmen in number of years
!. competing at the regatta. For the past
fifteen years he has worn the Western

and he knows a boat race Whan hs
