The Columblas leave to night for
Boston to take part in the national |
regatta.
The joint committee OF the three
boat clubs las met and settled every
thing in connection with the coming
Potomac regatta. The Washingtons
have been excluded. 1t Is now inter
esting to see whether they will be al
lowed to come in and bear their share
Of the expense after being kept out
until every question in regard to the
regatta has been decided. The circu-
lars have been printed, but neither the
Washington Club, nor any OF its mem
bers appear on the circular. The
club IL snub6ed and totally ignored.
Yet several of its prominent members
have been asked to contribute medals.
1t has been claimed by some of the
committee thai there has been too
much ne wspaper talk on the subject,
and thai they do not propose to be in
iluenctd by it, The CRITIC has had
very little 10 say on the subject, on ac.
count OF feeling OF delicacy, but it
has about made up its mind that it Is
time to print few facts that will be in.

July regatta at Boston.
The AnalOstans have borrowed one
of the Columbia's four cared gigs, and
are going to enter junior gig crew at
Fort Monroe. lt is n question whether
their own gg is not faster than the
second gig Of the Columbus, which is
stiff enough to carry very heavy crew.
