ROW At LYNCHBCRG-L0CAL BOATING EvENTS-
fHE NATIONAL AMATEUR REGATTA
Those who have Interested themselves in boat
ing matters have about concluded that there will
be two open regattas on the Potomac this season
both OF which give promise OF proving successful
The two events win not conflict with each other,
30 far as rowing Is concerned, but there Will
doubtless be considerable talk among the balcony
oarsnen OF the different clubs The failure OF the
Joint committee Of the Columbias, Potomacs and
Analostans to agree unanimously upon date
Tor Joint regatta seemed at first to
presage the defeat of all the plans for holding an
wear much brighter look. Another year SINH
lar disagreement may not be so easily tided over,
and one of the most important steps to be taken
by those actively interested In aquatic sports is to
see that there Is no possibility OF like occur
renee. 1t would seem that as long as the prelimi-
nary arrangements are left TO the clubs there will
be more or less diSSensOn, for each organization
Will be bent upon taking that action which Will
atoms 1t has been suggested that the most FEAST
bic plan to Obviate such difficulties would
In the hands OF a committee of reputable
weilknOwn citizens not actively interested In any
OF the boating organizations OF the District. who
would be willing, for their love OF the sport and
to encourage It. to give their attention to the mat
ter. They could TX the date, decide upon the
number and kind OF races, and fnaugurate some
project fof furnishing prizes without calling upon
business men to contribute. Should some such
plan meet the approval OF those most interested
steps should be taken to execute It before next
season. Similar plans are In vogue In other cities
and are very popular.
TIE PROPOSED FALL REGATTA ON THE POTOMAC.
The Analostans and Potomacs are bent upon
carrying out their intention OF holding Joint open
regatta this fall and IL looks as II they Will meet
with success Eighteen prizes, handsome individual
medals, have already been offered, and the clubs
feel confident they will meet with no difficulty In
securing all the prizes desired. 1t IS probable that
the regatta will be held before the end OF Septem-
Der. The AnaloStans have number OF very
promising new members, and under the careful
training of Mr.. F. Davis, whose services they
peet to secure there is every prospect that they

II Is more than probable that the Potomacs will
send crew to represent them at the Lynchburg
regatta on the 4th of July. The question will not
be decided until Friday night, but there Is grow
ing desire among the members to have the club
represented, even IL the chances OF success are
somewhat against them. They have new men to
race. They could be well tested, and it is well
known that you can't tell man until
he rows a race. Mckinney, of the Potomacs;
Andy Smith. OF the Co!umbi1S, and Parker Page,
OF the Nassaus, OF New York, and also OF the Ana
lostans, viii all be competitors in the single SOUL
race at Lynchburg, and very Interesting and
spirited contest Is anticipated. Page was de-
1eated by Mckinney on the Potomac last fall, but
the friends OF the former claim that he is rowing
much faster this year than ever before, and pre-
dict that he Will beat Mckinney. Smith is scull-
ing very fast, and the fact that he has never been

1t results, 1t is bound to be a pretty race.
