HE POTOMAC HOP LAST NIGHT-RRGATTA GOSSIP


ETC.
The Potomacs gave another enjoyable hop at
their boat house last evening. The rooms and
balcony were well filled with young ladies and
gentlemen, who seemed greatly to enjoy the even
ing's pleasures These dances, which are given
every other Friday evening, have become quite an
institution There was an unusual number OF
pretty faces seen last evening, and the costumes
were very stylish and becoming.
The joint regatta committee have mailed four
hundred and eighty circulars of invitation to the
amateur boating organizations In different parts
of the country.
The Potomacs had out a very strsng eight last
evening. 1t consisted of McRae, stroke; Doxon. z;
Fraser, 6; Kennedy Grainer),5 s; Ryan. 4; Whit
ttngton. g.; Thomas, Q. and Wheeler, bow. They
had in addition TWO tours out.
1t Is among the probabilities that both the Ana
lostans and Potomacs will enter two junior tours
in the regatta.
for the regatta and good one, too. Some OF their
best men, who have been away for the summer,
have returned, and a crew far superior to that
which rowed In August can be put together In q
few weeks. 1t is said that the Columbia four will
consist OF Mute, Wade, Wallach and Brace. A
good crew that Ellis Ward is working hard, and
everybody knows what sort OF trainer he is.
Kennedy will probably not row his crews to-
gether until the first OF September. He changes
them about every night, first testing one man and
1t is the general verdict on the river that the
Analostan' never began to row as they are row.
Baker, the reliable number three of the Poto-
mac four, IS expected to return from New York
to-day, and will enter upon his work steady next
week.
s. f. Wheeler will pull bow for the Potomacs,
but he will stay in the waist of the boat for some
time to come to get in good trim. He can take
the bow seat on a weeks notice.
- There will be race in working boats over the
National course this evening, between DeSauls
and Finley, of the POtomacs, and Lauk and PEN
nebaker. from Cumberland's boat house. The
priz IS will be handsome medals for the winners
TO be furnished by the losers. A very pretty con-
test is expected
