will be 1ve races between crews and single scul-
lers from our three District clubs in the following

Boteler originated the regatta by his liberal offer
to furnish handsome individual badges for the
winning crew in four-oared race between crews
from the three clubs Other prizes were soon
offered, and the arrangements for a regular re-
gatta were made.

enter. The Columbias feel certain of winning the
three sweep races, as do the Potomacs. while the
Analostans feel sure Of the junior race. Hender-
son, of the Columbia, sends his scull along very
rapidly and he is the favorite in the Junior single
race, although Harrison will be apt to give him
good race.
