A CARD FROM THE ELIZABETH BOAT CLUB.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, June IS, 1885,

TO Tie Editor or The Sunday Herald:
SIR: The attention Of our club having been called
10 several newspaper paragraphs, stating that the
Columbias, OF Washington, would not enter any re-
gata In which our club were TO take part was In
structed at late meeting TO address you letter and
inquire the reason of their determination Now,
Mr.. Editor casting the insult Of the Columbias one
sldefor we know It to be given without provocatiOn
1t Ia our desire 10 say that the only reason we ca
assign for their refusing TO row us Is this: They
have the reputation OF beating us-Bomething under
circumstances favorable alike to both crews, they
could never do-and are afraid to give us chance
10 redeem ourselves. When our four Towed them
at Norfolk, on July last, We were handicapped
twenty seconds TO say the least and this we would
have demonstrated at Washington a month later
had It not been for the deliberate foulng of the very
men who now refuse to "enter any race In which
the Elzabeths are to row. Had the late Potomac
River regatta been national one, the Coumbias
would not only have been Immediately disqualified
In their race, but their senior four would undoubt-
eddy have been expelled from the association. Their
own men on the referees boat said 1t was shame.
and member Of the Potoinacs told our judge, "If
he wanted fair show. he had better go see the ref
cree, as the Columbia men were trying to have us
disqualified Not protest was entered against us
at the late Harlem River regatta, and why the Co.
lnmbias should thus insult and strive to prejudice
The boating men of the whole country against us is
beyond our understanding. Trusting you Will give
tnis space Ia your Journal In Justice TO our club,
am, sir, very respectfully,
JOSEPH T. LAwLEss,
