THE REGATTA OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
AMATEUR OARsMEN.
Favorable reports were received by the local
committee ut their meeting last night num-
Der of 500 subscriptions and one Of $500 had
been received. The committee estimate that
$500 would be required for prizes and eX-
pcnses. 1t seems there will be no trouble in
raising that amount. Our orsmen have invited
many OF the fraternity to come here aud row,
and the committee. if crippled for want Of
money. will not be able to do justice to their
guests.
Among the boat clubs invited, or to be in
vited. to compete in the regatta on the PotOma C
next month are the following. most of which will
probably have representatives here if they do
not enter for the races: ArgOnaut, Toronto.
