FAILURE OF ATTEMPTS TO NEGOTIATE A JOINT RE-
| GATTA.
| The STAR expected to be able to announce to the
public to-day that the District boat clubs had con-
cluded to harmonic their difficulties and join
gether In holding joint open regatta upon the
Potomac, first intended. The proposed
plan was for each club to drop altogether the dates
| which had been separately decided upon as the
most advantageous for holding the regatta, meet
| together In joint convention again and mutually
| agree to CONF romise by deciding upon date be-
tween the middle OF August and the Sd OF october.
The project only missed by little of proving sue
cesSful II some such reconciliation OF existing
difficulties could be effected 1t would not only
prove great satisfaction to the boating frater-
| nifty but would be commended by the public gene
rally who are interested in aquatic sports for it
is general subject OF regret that our local clubs
have allowed the date to prevent their holding one
| splendid joint regatta this year. 1t may not be
too late to put aside feelings of antagontsn, drop
all the Old arguments and reasons and start
afresh; but just now 1t looks as If 1t could not be
done.
