At the recent hippodromc at Rocka-
way between llanlan and Lee there
were $50 many people and 50 much in
tcrcst felt That the promoters have de.
cidcd 10 give 50 800, divided into four
price, for doublescull race. The
following have signifcd their intention
Of rowing. llanlan and Lee, Courtney
ard Conlcy, Ross aud llamm, lIosmcr
and Caudaur and Tcomcr and mate
The race win bc rowed on what Is
known ms jamaica Bay.
Parker Page OF the Nass0us has been In
town lor q week past, lie Is looking cy-
tIrmCly we'll. hut has grown very stout.
lie says tlat lie has had no time for rowing
iiis season go far, and does not expect 10
tc able to row any this year
II IS said that Jim riIkiugtou has lost all
las money ON his new summer venture. lie
spread out IN too large % scale, expecting to
make So q cheap Concy Island.
Last year only orc race out Of seven Mt
the Potomac regatta was won by q visiting
crew, t. 70, the Palmer cup, won by the
Pcmsl iyauiu rig crew. The question f.,
low many will Doc so won this year! OF
course, nothing can he definitely said until
after tonight, when the entries close, but II
H. quite likely that more than one rncc Will
lc won by visitors this year. The Column
bias are the only ones able to defend the
Palmer cup, Us they alone have q suitable
rig. The Columbius were defeated at Fort
Icss Monroe by the new Washington Club
in the senior fours, and TO reverse that race
Is now the great object OF the Cuumbias
Mt The coming regatta. If the PcnusylvJ-
MAS win the Pulmcrcup race once more II he
cones thor property and viii go away for
good. None OF the club would like to see
that happen. yet such is the rivalry between
cur local clubs, that any one of them had
rather see tho gig race go than to lose the
senior fouroarcd she'll. The rivalry be-
tween the senior fours of the Washingtons
and Columhas is the strongest ON the
river, and the race between them will be a
desperate one. Notwithstanding this, the
very best Of feeling prevails. The clubs
and crews are ON the best of terms, and it Is
safe TO say that which ever wins there will
not bc the slightest jar TO the existing good
fellowship. II is pleasure to chronicle
this, and shows the true sportsman.
Tie Wasbingtons have returned the boat
luGuCd by the Potomacs, with thanks. 1t
was a graceful act on the part OF President
NhcGtley.
There win be meeting of the Joint re-
gUita committee tonight ut 9 o'clock, at the
rooms Of the Columbia Club on New York
avenue.
The paper shell OF the Washingtons was
returned yesterday from Troy, where it was
sent TO be mended.
Baseball.
Tho pame Yesterday between tho M
iionals and Trentons Showed Just about the
difference between the two clubs The
score was 10 to 2. Barr pitched II great
game again, and was well supported. The
batting and iielding OF the whole nine was
good. To-day our boys play the NewarkS.
