Our boating interests.

Nothing is of more importance to the
people of this locality than its boating in
terests, It looks to many like mere sport,
mere child's play. One regatta like the
one Just held 10 Peoria would bring more
money into the city in one week than
would be attracted here in whole year
by dozen houses of business. The people
of Rock Island rejoice at the victory of
Moline. A few more regattas will cause
harmony to reign in the three cities. The
Athletic club for several years has en-
deavored 10 vaiu to establish boat club.
but the victory of the Sylvans has inspired
the boys and they have gone to work In
earnest. Every day crews may be seen on
the river, and many single shells. There
is no sight so grand. no sight SO exciting as
regular boat race, the eager crew strain
ing every muscle to gain the victory. Let
the good work go on, we wish it success,
and if the next regatta can be had at this
place, if our own crew is not victorious,
we will rejoice over the profits. We hope
that our business men will appreciate how
very important it is for themselves as well
as for the city to encourage this matter.
Some one should go to work and see how
much money can be raised to secure for US
the regatta. The noted men can well
afford to subscribe literally. We are
glad that the Rodman Rifles have sue
ceeded in getting up a regatta for the
Fourth. This is the first step; thousands
of people will witness the grand spectacle
and all will go away we'll pleased and eager
to help on the good cause. The splendid
prizes, won by the Sylvans in several
regattas which will be displayed on the
occasion, will increase the enthusiasm.
These medals are the most costly and the
finest designed of any il has ever been
our fortune to see While they were on
exhibition in Detroit thousands of people
went 10 see them and many came a long
distance The victorious crews of the
Sylvans have entered, the Nationals have
entered. and the Athletic club will not bt
behind Though there is no trained crew
yet, an effort will be made. If we do no
wio the boat race we will have the tut
race

address but quote from it some admirable
points in regard to the relation of capital
to the public school system. Commenting
on the enemies Of the system Mr., Gregory
says:
