TO be Put into Practice.
The Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday has
the following
Judging from the rumors that have been
ahoat in aquatic circles during the past few
days, Pitteburg is soon to be treated to an
aquatic sensation. 1t is nothing less than the
entering into aquatic contests of an element that
has never been known there before.
During last fall and the present aquatic sea-
son considerable attention has been directed to
a girl about seventeen years of age, who almost
every day has made her appearance in skif on
the Monongahela, and by her splendid oarsman
ship has come to be considered the female oars
man of Pittsburg. She usually rows down from
a point above the railroad bridge to the Point
and sometimes up the Allegheny. She displays,
as is stated by those who have seen her, q skill
that would do credit to the best oarsmen in the
city, and has on several occasions made excel
lent time from the railroad bridge to the Point
and return.
Early during the present season some of her
friends endeavored to get her to enter the lists
and contest in some of the races of the present
season. She refused, and evidently did not wish
to enter field where there was so strong an
element of rowdyism. She stated that she had
adopted rowing partially as a pastime and to
enable her to carry her father to his work, as he
was at that time employed in one of the rolling
mills on the South Side, and she wished to con-
vey him over the river early in the morning.
From the grace and skill with which she ham
and particularly those residing in the ViciRity
of her home, which is in the unromantically-
named region called Pipetown, in the Eighth
ward, have determined if possible to induce
her to enter the racing list this season
and issue a challenge to some one of the
prominent local oarsmen of this city. 1t is now
stated that she has signifed her willingness to
do so, provided that her friends will assume the
responsibility of defeat in case she is defeated
and she says that she will do her best to win.
The workmen in the rolling mills in that portion
of the city have already raised a considerable
sum, and will soon have a handsome purse
made up ia order that challenge may be made
to some of the local oarsmen. She is unwilling
to risk herself in a great race at first, but it is
stated will issue a challenge to one who has
already an enviable reputation in this vicinity
name should be given TO the public, but it may
not be improper to state that her first name is
"Lottie, and that she resides in the Eighth
ward.
