The Argonaut Rowing club of Toronto has received a challenge from Syracuse university for races for four oared and eight oared shells, the contests to be held on Onondaga lake at Syracuse on May 30. It is probable that the challenge will be accepted. This is the third time the Syracuse oarsmen have issued such an invitation to the Canadian club. A race was held two years ago, and a meeting was scheduled last year which for some reason did not materialize. The event is a gala day at the Salt City college, and a very pretty regatta occurs when the international race is rowed. Power Boat Races. The American power boat races which are held annually on the St Lawrence river promise to be more interesting this year than at any time since the inauguration of the event Challenges have been received from the Chippewa Bay Yacht club and the New York club.
