	Water sports were an important feature of the Centennial. There was a river swim reenacting the rush for [[LEAD]] at the time of the opening of the Blackhawk Territory for settlement. A similar reenactment race was held for "pilots" of flatboats, canoes, and "novelty" craft with the exception of anything having a motor or sharp nose. Rafts, barrels and logs were permitted. A prize was awarded in each of the following categories: swimming, flatboats, canoe, and novelty boat. An additional prize was awarded for the most unique method of crossing the river and another for best costume. (1)		Water sports were an important feature of the Centennial.

The largest crowd, however, witnessed the parade opening the celebration on Wednesday. Estimates as high as 50,000 lined the 27 blocks of the parade route.

Other events of the sesquicentennial also attracted enormous crowds. The final performance of the pageant, "Under Five Flags," on Sunday night brought the total attendance for the five evenings to 20,000. The Children's Day Parade on Thursday drew 3,000. Railroad exhibits attracted over 8,000 during the five days and the Agriculture Day festivities on Friday drew another 1,000.

Miss Hazel Skemp, the event queen, christened the lock and dam with a bottle of water containing water from both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The water had been brought to Dubuque several years before by [[BISSELL, Richard|Richard BISSELL]] after an ocean cruise.
