fayorites but before the end of the first quarter

Richmond crew won by about a half length,
after very pretty struggle. The starters In
the next race. for pair-Oared working boats,
were Ottley and Iibbey and Yarrow and Anti

won after foul had occurred. which practically
threw two men out of the race. There are q
great many OF the rowing men who believe that
SmithsOn is superior over the Others but as the
race was held for the purpose of deciding who
should be entered at the Norfolk regatta there
are many more who would like to see the men
engage in race without accidents The out
come was considered final, however. and as the
winner. who is n junior Sculler, would become
senior by rowing at Norfolk, the club has en-

not think the result of Wednesdays race should
In any way decide the clubentry at the Potomac
regatta.

to send crew to Norfolk will center the great
est interest in the fOur-oared race between the
Columbia and Potomac clubs A large number
of the members of each club will 90 to Norfolk
to see it. and beautiful race is expected. The
Columbia crew will probably be Mute kintner
kondrup and Wade and the Potomacs McRae,
Baker. Ryan and Mckinney.
Everything looks promising for the success of
the Potomac regatta The joint committee are
working nObly In every way that will tend to in
sure it. The club prizes are unusually hand
some, and with the individual prizes which will
undoubtedly be forthcoming, will constitute a
strong inducement to foreign crews to come
here.

The WashingtOns played such an exception
ally fine game OF ball on Thursday with the ST.
Louis club as to infuse more enthusiasm into
the audience than has been seen at any game

were earned. The home boys only made two
runs, but they played steady game through
out and deserved the praise they received
HUMPHREYS and Barr did splendidly as a bat
terry. The two clubs left Washingtons for ST.
Louis. where they play to-day. The Washing

meet with their share of success. The nine is
