coming double scuil race between Joseph
Schich and George Hatlev, of the Aquatic
Boat Club, and James Ward and William
| Miller, of the Acme Boat Club, which is to
take place this coming Saturday, June II,

that remained witnessed plucky race,

the crews had to row.
The cup for which the Club completes is
beauty. 1t was on exhibition last season
in the show windows of the Arcade book
store, and was described in the STAR and
also the other papers of the city at that
time. The cup stands fourteen inches in
height, and is beautifully engraved with
nautical designs. Duhme & Co. furnished
the cup, which was paid for at the Joint
expense of both clubs. 1t is not open to
outside competition, but is to be perpetual
between the two clubs, and is to be con-
tested for not less tlian two or more than
three times in one season.
