Show .' AQUATICS. f The great 'regatta which is being arranged ar-ranged for Duluth between July 21 and July 27 is creating quite a stir in aquatic circles. It is expected that all the leading American professional scullers will take part and that there will be an equal showing show-ing in amateurs. Several days will be given to races for the latter, igid unusually un-usually handsome prizes will be offered. Money purses will go to the professionals, and the fact that $13,000 has already been raised shows on whet a scale preparations are being made. It is not, improbable that William O'Connor, now in Australia, will take part in this great American aquatlo event. The date of the annual regatta of the Canadian Association of Amateur Oarsmen, Oars-men, which was fixed recently for July 28, has beon changed to Aug. 9, in order that the northwestern Btates' crews, comprising those from Chicago,' Lake Minnetonka, Detroit, Lake Geneva and others, may take part while on their way to the regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen Oars-men of America, which takes place on Aug. , 12 and 13 at Worcester, Mass. The annual People's Invitation regatta, held under the auspices of the Schuylkill navy on the Schuylkill river, July 4, gives indicntions.of receiving mora entries this year than ever before. The Sharpless cup for eigths and the Downing cup for fours promise to be especially interesting. The other events are senior singles, junior singles, sin-gles, double sculls, pair oared shells, four oared gigs, four oared shells, junior and senior eight eared shells. |
