Interesting Information in Regard to the Com
ing Potomac Regatta.
Base Ball Games Here ana Elsewhere
other Athletic Sports.

The Potomac river regatta Will be de-
cidcd success if energy and wakefulness will
accomplish that end. The committee of ar
rangoments are hard at work, and are in
daily receipt, Of letters from outside clubs
asking for full information. The outside
crews who will participate represent the
cream Of American oarsmen, with the bare
exception ofthe famous Hillsdales. In the
senior single sculls the starters will be Demp-
sey, PillSingtQn, Page, of the Nassaus, and
Henderson. In the senior fours the presence
of the champion Eurekss, Of Newark the
famous Crescents, Of Philadelphia, besides the
Unions, Metropolitnns, and possibly Nassaus,
of New York, together with our own repre-
sentatives, will make field equal to any ever
brought together, and the winning crew may
Justly have the appellation Of champion ap-
piled to them.
In the Junior sculls the visitors will be
Owens, from Petersburg; Fitzgerald, from
Philadelphia; Cody, from New YORK Dono-
hue, from Davenport, and several other out
siders, which each Of our clubs will send one
representative forward for this race. In the
gig race the crews will all be from tho visi-
tors, the PennsYlvanians and Richmonds
meeting again, with the probability of two
others from Virginia and one from New York.
In tho eight, the Metropolitans and Unions, of
Few York, are sure to come, while big in
ducements are being laid out to bring the
Arie1s, of Newark, and the Narragansetts, of
Rhode Island, and both may be obtained. The
latter will certainly be the feature of the re-
Ratta, and much money will doubtless change
hands ON tho result. In the double sculls
there will be Pilkington and Kent, of the
Metropolitans; Morse and Page, of the Mas
saus; Dempsey and Stalzell, of the Pennsyl-
vanians Henderson and Mate, of the NAL
tas; Putnam and Donohue, of the Daven-
ports, and two from the District clubs. The
= In oA1
tion to tho above is also being agitated by the
local clubs. 1t is proposed to pick crow OF
ten men from each club that do not appear in
any of the shells, the surplus room in the
boats to be filled with lady passengers.
The four cared senior race Will be made
particularly interesting by the meeting Of
the Potomacs and Columbias. The latter Will
probably be represented by Mute, Brace
Wade, and Nesmith, while the former crew
though not announced as yet, will probably
be Fraser Baker, Ryan, and Wheeler
Dempsey, of the Pennsylvanias, is the favor
ite in the senior and Warden, of the Poto'
macs, in the junior singles. The latter i:
about evenly matched with Cody, of the Met
ropoltans and Cody of the Coumbias. The
gig race will be another decided feature, and
IL is the current opinion that the Richmonds
will fare better than they did in the last
race, if they do not win the contest.
A largely attended meeting of the Analos
Tan CluD was nOlu III Iuo UOuU uOuoo DubuluuJ
evening, when it was decided to enter gig
race in the September regatta. Several new
members were elected, while the applications
of many more were laid over under the rules
The meeting was purely business one, money
being appropriated from the treasury to have
all the boating material in the house put in
racing order.
The Joint regatta committee will meet this
evening at the Potomac boat club house. The
Centennials, of Detroit, Mich, have sent word
to tho regatta committee that they will enter
n junior four in the September races, and the
Hartford Rowing club has made similar an
nouncement.
The medal for the winner of the JUNO
scull race will be very handsome one. 1t IL
presented by q number Of lady friends of the
three clubs, and will have engraved on it,
Ladies' Prize" The winner should fee
proud of it.
