Aquatic.

The regatta at Keokuk, and the defeat
ofthe Sylvans has had the effect of stimulat
ing our Rock Island Oarsmen to renewed
efforts to organize and put in training
several crews that will not only be credit
to the city, but will be formidable competi
tors for the honors of the next regatta.
The Athletics already have two double
crews, Heath and Andrews and Gable and
Rodman. There are also three singles, or
will be shortly. to wit:-Robert Willerton,
Lem Andrews and Ben Cable. 1t is nog
the intention to put in training a number
of crews. These will consist of three sin
gle SOULS. three doubles, gig crew, and q
four cared crew for the she'll 1t is the

VIII Clean Up,

The Board of Health met this afternoon
in the mayors room, armory building, and
organized by electing DIR. Barth chairman
and W. McMaster secretary, 1t was
agreed that thorough cleansing of the
alleys should be done at once, and the city
disinfected. Tomorrow morning Mr..
Barnett, with, his entire force of teams and
men will clean up the alleys and by streets,
and the marshal and board of health will
then have the alleys and out houses disin-
fected. By this means it is hoped the
danger of any serious spread of malaria
fevers may be avoided.
