The prospects are now very good for one OF the
most interesting as well as one OF the most salts
factory displays OF amateur Craftsmanship ever wit
messed in this country. The rowing men OF Sara
toga seem fully alive to the necessity OF making a
perfect success OF this regatta, knowing this Is
their surest means OF securing the American COL
lege regattas Of the future. The officers OF the
Saratoga Rowing Association are earnestly
striving to remove all the obstacles in the way
Of conscientious Oarsmen, who will not enter q
race for the purpose of afrording an opportunity
for pool sellers and gamblers to operate.
There Is not gambling house open in the village,
and the Sheriff of this county has pledged his word
to enforce the State law prohibiting the selling Of
pools along the shores of the lake. The representa-
ttves of the amateurs OF the boating interests OF
this county already here compare favorably with
the college men lately present at Spring
field. l visited Saratoga Lake this after
noon, and found the water in excellent
condition. The crews have not all arrived
yet, but enough already here to insure
a race for each OF the prizes offered. The greatest

and entertain all who may come. wagon Is at
