The Potomac Regatta.

WHAT BOATING AUTHORITY SAYS.
The New York Clipper in referring to the action
ofthe joint committee of the Washington Boat Club
In selecting so late time as Oct Sd for the annual
regatta says: "a great deal of dissatisfaction
was caused by the fixing OF the date so late, which
It is thought will prevent the entry Of crews from
other cities for open race for THE EVENING STAR
cup The objection Is certainly well taken, as the
season for amateur club racing is pretty well over
time. IL would have been much more sensible,
pr0Utded outside entries are desired, to have fixed
the date few days subsequent to the N. A. A. C..
regatta Or at the latest for some time IN Septem-
Der. Efforts are now being made to have 1t
altered"

repaired to the woods, where they took positions
which took effect, as their aim was quite un-
steady. Here some person interfered, and, stop
ping the quarrel, took the young gunners back to
the boat and locked them up until they arrived in
this city, when they were released. This morning
Lieut.. GesSford got information that these two
boys were going to fight prize fight Sd street
