BOAT RACE.-kd.tOr Of Star: Your CORES
pondent OF Saturday last, though speaking in
An authoritative manner, has evidently been
misinfoTmed or has misspprehended the facts of
the case. The offer made was to row a four
cared shell without a cOxwain against a six
Dared lapstreak gig with coSwain. The com
mlttee OF The Potomac club consulted New York
authorities for information a. to what should be
The allowance between the two classes of boats
The answer was THE shell should allow the
gig tlsl eighteen seconds per mile or (5i) fifty-
foII seconds Tor three miles y This answer was
1LdeI eDdent OF the difference in number OF oars,
ten seconds per mile being the regular allow
ance tor two extra oars. or thirty seconds for
three miles, which being deducted leaves TWEEN
y-four seconds in favor of the Potomac boat.
The agreement was written out BY the Potomac
committee and brought to the Analostan for
signature. a majority refused 10 do 50 because
lie very important word IGpstreTt did not ap-
pear In the agreement The Potomac ref used
% lns, rt the wcrd and tie was declared off
M Sss the sole cause Of the Disagreement.
shortly after the Potomac club received a new
siN-oared boat with a shell bOtton and but one
lap. III the new boat is a lapstreak why did the
Potomac object to the insertion of the word in
the agreement" If she il q shell then the al
lowance of time should be in favor of the Ana
iostan On account OF extra oars.
