Three yeers ago boating as scientific sport
wns almost unknown In the District but
number of our young men who appreciated
the fne facilities offered tor this most noble
exercise by the beautiful waters of the Poto-
mae, determined TO make roNing popular
here, aud after several years hard work they
have achieved splendid success, and through
their efforts we nov have four hDe associations
that rival the oldest clubs In the East. Not
satisfied with domestic Tegattas, our ener-
getic disciples OF the spoon oar and swift
shell have determined 10 have tho best 0aTs-
men In the world compete upon the waters
OF the Potomac.
The capital OF the country Is emlnenUy
fitted for such race. Easy Of access, with
ample hotel accommodations, and very
iin0 racing course, we see no reason why
the champion Engllrh aud American crews
should not have their next International race
here. In fnTthcrpnce ot this project the
Analostan Boat Club have interviewed the
Biglln brothers on the subject, and last night
received u communication from them TO the
effect that they, the Ward brothers and The
Plttsburg crew would like very much 10 have
the race take place In tue District, as tho
course Is good and the water entirely neutral,
none Of tho contestants ever having rOwed
upon this river. Ia order TO make this project
success II will lie necessary 10 offer hand
soms pure N tho winning crews.
Here isR chance for our liberal citizens
who support any project that Will bring
thousandS Of visitors 10 the District to con-
| tribute the necessary money, aud In Il a. way
assist the young men who haze the energy
aud enterprise To push tho scheme Of grand
| international regatta 10 the District next
summer. Tue AnalOstans have ccmmunl'
Gated with the other clubs Ia regard to the
matter, IN order to have united action, and
have requested meeting Of committees from
| oil the clubs at the Dickson house next FIJI
day evening, at 8 o'clock.
II Is expected that England viii he rerre,
scented by Ut least two crews aud the Quilted
States BY larger number
The .Blglin brothers ALEC will probably ar
| range n double scull race with tho Engllsh
men. This will be joyful news to those whC
lore the best OF al athletic sports, and should
meet the support aud approval OF our eiti
| Zens.
