Program FRA 1900 OG Paris #Coll. JE#

No reference to the Olympic Games

can be found in this program but it

is in fact the program of the

first Olympic rowing regatta that

took place from Aug. 25th-27th

1900 at Paris on the Seine river.

The rubber stamp in the top margin

of the program shows that it once

belonged to Alexander Gleichmann

von Oven who was the cox of the

Germania RC Hamburg crew (4th

place in the M8+ final)
