The Potomac river regatta is an assured sue
cess. so far as the home clubs are concerned.
and il cannot be doubted that the unusual
array OF handsome and valuable prizes offered
will attract quite a number of crews from other
cities The entries do not close until the 2}d
instant and Will not be made public until then.
1t is known. however. that already four entries
have been received. aaJ it is understood that
one of the Baltimore clubs will send over a
junior four to contest for the Mason cup. which
can only be awarded to Washington and Balti-
more clubs. The Duty malt whisky company,
Of Baltimore, have donated set OF medals for
one of The races

and feel confident that they will make good

and assigned their seats next week.
The Columbia men are all I'm fine condition,
and most of the crews row i'm excellent form.

editur.aliy the agreement to boycott Courtney.
The last time Courtney attempted to row a
square race. the Clipper says, two of the signers
were Instrumental in putting him in pocket.
The agreement is Illogical in making ten men
declare that they will not row with one whom
the public some time ago came TO believe would
not row ANY body
