NATIONAL REGATTA TALK.
Participants Need Not he NIemberso of
the Association,

be well for sporting papers TO note this |
point. This belief on the part Of clubs
has undoubtedly kept many from en-
tering the National. Mr.. Gibson has
this year received several communica
tious from clubs, who regret they are
not members, so that they could row.
The Nation;h Associations effort and
object Is to foster amateur rowing, and
any club that Ia an amateur organiza-
tioh Is welcome at it, regattas, though
II may not b1 II member of the asSocia-
ton.
The entries for the national regatta
wont BE- ready for publication until to-
morrow morning. They are OF good
quality, but not so numerous as those OF
some other years. The Columbus
were very much afraid that they would
have no competitor In the eight Dared
race, and 20 entered The fours also.
They will have an eight to row against,
aud good one at that, so it Is not
likely that they will row in the fours.
Laing and Enright OF Toronto have
entered single and double for the com.
! ing national ,rgHtta, but their entry
has been refused The CRITIC gives
this officially. The records OF the in
vestigation uf Laiug, Enrght, o Con-
nor and IIumphrcye, held by the Cana
dian association, were sent to the exc
cutve committee If the n itional Asso-
ciatiOn and have been carefully exam
ined by them. The members Of the
committee ace unanimously OF the Opin-
| ion that the explanations do not clear
these parti $ ui suspicion. O'Connor
and Humphreys entered by telegraph
on the last day. Their entry will also
be rejected. These men are all Cana
dians, and it Is curious to see what ct-
feet this action will have upon the
association across the border. Hereto
fore the best Of feeling has existed be.
tween them.
The friends o! MumGord are going TO
make big effort ut the next meeting Of
the National Association, in Boston, to
have the executive committee reconsider
its action In barring Mumford from
rowing. If any one here knows any
thing about the race, either for or
against Mumford, they are requested to
inform Secretary Gibson.
The new eight Of the Columbias has
been out two nights now, and the boys
are delighted with her. The Colum.
bias are booked for winners in the
eights this trip sure.
Mr.. Park, the genial passenger agent
of the Pennsylvania Company in this
city, has written the several boat clubs
that the fare for crews from this city to
New York and return will be reduced
to $9.12.
Several of the Columbia boys are
going to Boston by steamer. They sail
on the 9Th and will reach there three
days before the race. Don't come away
without visiting Tatt's, boys, down .he
harbor.
One thing that reflects credit on the
Columbia members is that whenever q
crew goes away to participate in race,
there are always lot OF the club mem
bers to 90 along and give their sup
port. 1t is encouraging to the crew,
and shows them that interest is being
taken in their effort.
Buckley has entered for the senior
singles at the national regatta.
Baseball.
The Nationals, continuing to play IN
good form, won handsome victory
: Yesterday from the Trentons, shutting
, them out with nine goose eggs. With
, the exception OF II pass ball by Trott
and an error by Gladmon, the home
, team played faultless game. Barr
