The regatta of the lowu Amateur Rowing
association will bo hold at Spirit Lake. July
12 und 13. Entries will not close till July 4 ,
.nnd It is hollovoa every ci'.y in the assoclu-
tloTl will bo roprosonted.
Tha lowu association will this year make
ono of the most notnblo Innovations In the
history of shell racing. In times past It was
customary to have four und tbruo-mllo
courses , on the theory that boat races should
bo contests of endurance ns well ns of skill.
Tbo National Association of American
Amateurs adopted two miles as the standard
course , und n low years ngo the Mississippi
Vallov nssoclnlion rondo Its races n inllo and
n half in order to use n Quo course at Mollno ,
which Is devoid of the slluhtost bund. The
Io\yu association , Doing an oil-shoot of the
Mississippi Valley , adopted Its standard.
A verv few courses In this country huvo
uk-amor or rnllroad facilities for closely fol
( > lowing tbo bouts lu n race , but In the grout
.t mujority of cases the spectators uro com
pelled to remain nt the starting ponii nnd
watch the ruces ns best they can. After Iho
shells hnvo gene a quarter of u mile tbo nnglo
of vision is such Unit it Is impossible to toll
vUilch crew Is nhcud , und It is even dilllcult
bov oral thnt distance to distinguish the con-
tcstunts. In short , In u mllo-iiud-a-half
course ( thrcu quarters of n mile mid turn )
two-thirds of the race Is lost to the specta
tor. Ho Virtually hoes nolhlng hutstait und
finish , nnd ever a long course the finish Is
oftnii nn uninteresting procession.
There li no disguising the faottlmt boating
is not popular ulthllio masses. All of the
nfsociatloua In this country have learned
thnt to their cost. Unless u spectator
tater is nn enthusiast ho is liable
to uo dliguslcd with almost any ro-
gat in JIM a go uway vowing' ho will never at
tend another. And ho isn't to be blamed
"uluyh , either ,
The lowu association i ) going to smash nil ,
tr.iilltloiiH th's ' year nnd put up an ontertuin-
mciit to plonso the spectator. At the com
ing legnttn all t lie junior and senior rucos
will bo pulled lu heats over a qiiartor-mlla
coin-so with turn , ami the winners must take
two heats out of three.
This arrangement will bring the cntlro
rnco within easy vlow of the spectator , and
the course will bo so short that the crews
will bo bunched from start to finish , ensur
ing un exciting contest throughout the ruco
The spectator will pot from two to four In-
tort-sun tr short races Instead of thu straggling
long oni ) , unu the crew that loses the first
boat by slipping a sura or breaking un oar
lock will huvo another ohanco to redeem its
luck.
luck.Thcro
Thcro com tn bo every reason from n
prujtlfiil standpoint for approving tbo inno
vation , and siiico It wus announced it has re
ceived thn endorsement of muny of the boat
boating authorities in the country. The ex
periment ut Spirit Lake will bo watched
with interest In boating circle ] throughout
Amoilcu.
The lown association will thU year receive
eutrlus for free-for-all rucos , whlcn will bo
pulled over the old inllo-nnd-a-hulf course as
a concussion to the piejuulcoi of oiimnon
from other states uho may outer.
