Two Saline Boys Capture the First Boat Race
Cups Ever Offered at Columbia. '
llo.it rnclug Is an innovation of the present
year at the Stale University, but judging
from the Interest taken iu the first contest, It
bids fair to become as popular n collegiate
sport as in Hngtaud and our Haslcrn schools.
The Missouri Midland, Columbia's new
railway, this year offered as trophies two
handsome solid silver, gold lined cups, to he
awarded the crew making the best time on a
course of one mile on the Pcrchc, a good
stretch of water seven miles out from Colum
bia. The event took place Monday and
though the day was a drizzling one, joo. per
sons witnessed the contention for supremacy
among the oar pullers, iu vlilcli two Saline
men carried off the first cups ever offered at
the University.
There were three races, the first being won
by Scott ct White vs West & Nelson; in the
second, Ilurruss & Ilurruss vs Ilrundidgc &
Ltiwclleu, the former were victors, and again
iu a contest with the winners of the (list race,
did they carry away both cups as the trophies
of their skill.
William II. Ilurruss, well known here in
his old home country and I.ewell Ilurruss, of
Miami, arc the two heroes of the first regatta.
It is said that these lioys gained their know
ledge of boat-craft upon the Missouri, in row
ing backwards and forwards from home to
school at Miami.
Tiie best time recorded at Columbia Mon
day, was lo.miuutes and 14 seconds, the judges
being Profs- Slnw, Defoe, Cauthoni and
Manly, President Jesse, him-.cll, being an In
terested spectator.
The crew were banqueted thct night and
duly Honled In the manner that Is ever ac
corded herocSjiif popular sjiorls, The Unl
vcrsit) will probably maks the racing an an
nual event, for which four regular racing
shells will be taught. May the victors prove
iu after years as valiant defenders of honors
won, as easy winners in this first contest fur
championship.
