the general list. None Of them were important.
DRINKS and DRINKS and dsorderlies make up
the greater part OF the total. Several OF the

THE COMING REGATTA,
some Suggestions An Reference 10 tho
Course SeIecfed

There is one point in reference TO the
arrangements for the coming regatta upon which
word or two may be probably said, and that is
the selection OF the course IL Is understood that
this course will be from Easby's Point extending
down the river the required distance A grand stand
will be erected at Easby's Point which will be
capable OF holding about six thousand persons
Those who secure seats upon this grand stand will
have an excellent opportunity OF witnessing the
start, the race, and the finish. But what Is to be.
come of the thousands Of our own citizens to say
nothing of the strangers who will come here who
will also desire to witness the race? Where are
these people to find seats even standing places
If there was wharf along the line OF the river,
of course 1t would be dotted all over with stands
but there is
NO POINT BELOW THAT SELECTED
for the grand stand this side OF the river from
which the race can be seen, because from Easby's
Point down to Long Bridge It is one continuous
line of marsh. The Kidwell Bottoms offer no firm
resting place for the feet, while at the same time
they exlale most unpleasant aud aguish odor.
II Is claimed that the course already determined
upon is the only one that could be chosen
which should be "straight.away Course u
as If sraight-away course must be an air line.
This cannot be regarded valid claim, for races
IRE rowed upon other rivers where II would be
impossible to go straight away" from any given
point for mile or more on account of the crook
edness of the river. II is to be hoped that the
gentlemen having this matter IN charge
WILL RECONSIDER THEIR ACTION
In determining the course, and have the starting
point higher up the river There can be selected
a course upon the Potomac which is equal to any
In the country, and the races this year are sue
cessful there is no reason why the Potomac should
not become anational course where the regattas OF
the Rowing Association should take place every
year In order to accompish this rytlinp should
be done toward providing for the comfort
of those who will be drawn here by their interest
In boating matters next month. There were prob
ably twenty-five thousand strangers In the city
when tho Hanlan- Courtney race took place and
1t Is but reasonable to expect that nearly
that number will be present here next month
All these people will come to see the race, and II
they find no place from which to view the river
without going over to the Virginia side the infer
cnce is that they will go back decidedly mad, and
that the Rowing Association will not again be per.
mitted TO select the Potomac for their regatta.
