gained good reputation by his perform
ances in England, arrived in New York on

WASHINGTON, May 19.-When communi-
Gated to HanlAn the fact that Trickett
had sent challenge for the Sportsman's
| Cup and the championship of the world,
the Toronto champion seemed to be thor
oughly well pleased to know that Trickett
meant business, and while he would not say
that he accepted the challenge he init
| mated taat as soon as he heard officially
from London on the subject he would ac-
cept He said further that it would suit
him better to row next November than at
any other time, SO that barring accidents
it is certain that the two oarsmen will
meet before the end of the year and settle
the question as to the championship OF the
| world.

Tntons intend to enter Sidney Ogden for

that he is the only representative they will

Arels will enter six-oared crews. They are
practicing steadily, and will be dangerous
crews In the regatta. The Institutes have
two slxes practicing. and will probably ell
ter both. This is club that has only been

and for the excellent work they have done
during that time they deserve to be con-
graduated. They are building an elegant
new boat-house, % by 80 feet, on the East
