haunoCks of fredericksburg have
good four-oarcd junior shell crew.
They think strongly of sending il, and,
with the two weeks additional practice
they will have, ought to come very
near winning. Phillips, of the crew, is
a thorough gentleman and fine oar.
II Is not known whether the NOrfOlks

can't send the same crew they sent to
Old Point, unless the committee should
make an exception in their favor They
had two Mcmbcrs of the Elizabeth
crew that rowcd against the Washing
tons on July 4. The committee at Old
Point made thrcc-wcCks' rule in order
to admit these men. A dark crew that
hardly any one knows about is the
Unions of New York. They have had

very confident of winning that race.
Dan Gaanaugh of Philadelphia who
was n. Norfolk training their zig crew,
made many friends by his quiet, cour-

any one in trouble, 1t is understood
that Dan will train the Fairmounts for

There was not the slightest truth in the
rumor. Mr.. Kennedy retired from
rowing several years back, and it is
doubtful if anything would ever induce
him to row again. He certainly would
lie very foolish to neglect his business
for such purpose. Mr.. Kenncly's
business keeps him so close that he has
been able to give but very little atlen-
ton to the Washington crew, which he
is supposed TO train, and he was not
even able to get Off to 90 TO the late re
gatta at Fortress Monroe. The race
was to have been between Breen, Ward
and Galanaugh, but after the money
was raised two OF the three declined to
row.
