s'STAR' CUP.
AT well attended meeting Of the Columbia boat
club last night there was general dissent from
the recommendation OF the conference committee
that THE STAR cup be made prize for the eight
cared race instead of the four-oared race The
sense OF the meeting seemed TO favor placing both
the Post and HE STAR cups on the I0urOared race,
In accordance with the terms OF the donations,
both having been already rowed for and won Ly
fours.
The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas THE EVENING STAR Publishing Com
the Potomac river, was the first corporation of the
District of Columbia to donate a prize to be an
nually contested for on waters which prize the
donors directed should be offered for the senior four
Dared Shell crews OF the country:
And whereas the generosity and public spirit thus
displayed by said company proved the Incentive
which resulted In one OF the finest regattas ever
held herein which the representative champions
from every section OF the country contested:
And whereas the cup has been twice rowed for in
four cared shell cOntestS-the date and character
OF the races with the names Of the winning clubs
being engraved thereon;
And whereas the Columbia Boat Club appreciates
most highly the kindly interest manifested by THE
EVENING STAR company in the boating interests OF
Therefore be it resolved: That while this club is
Wiling That The STAR cup shall be contested for in
any regatta held on our river by the boating Orga-
nnatlons OF the District as prize for four cared
smells In connection With any other prize or prizes
tnat mas been or may be offered, 1t cannot con-
sSenty consent, or request OF the donors thereof,
thaC He STAR cup shall be diverted from the OBJ
lect LOT when IL was donated, or made secondary
In point OF dignity to any other prize that may be
onered In the class for senior four cared shells.
Resolved, further That If the retirement Of THE
STAR cup as prize for senior four cared shells be In
sisted upon by the Analostan and Potomac Clubs,
then the Columbia Boat Club cannot cooperate in
any contemplated joint regatta by the clups OF the
DISTRICT, in which such conditions shall be made

The New Time Standard.

NOON TOMORROW MARKS THE NEW DEPARTURE
WIZ The BALL AZ AT THE OBSERVATORY WILL BE
DROPPED AT 1878 MERIDIAN TIME. AND THE CITY
BELLS WILL BE STRUCK AT THE SAME TIME
Considerable inconvenience has arisen from the
fact OF there being two time standards In the Dis
trict, and the Secretary OF the Navy has taken ad-
vantage OF the decision OF the District Commits
sioners in adopting the new time (of the 18th
merdian) standard, from noon tomorrow, and has
directed similar change to be made at the naval
observatory at the same time, thereby making the
official and local time correspond All or the de-
partments which have not already done so Will
ADOPT tne new time and Will be run by IL.
The Attorney General, when asked il the changes
would conflict with the adverse opinion rendered
ny nun some time ago, replied that there would be
no conflict In the least He held. he said that the
change could not legally be effected by an execu-
tive order, but that 1t was entirely discretionary
with the heads OF the departments whether they
should adopt the new time or not.
