Mr.. Samuel Trimblc, ono Of tho hardest workers
IN the Anaosians, has been placed upon the regatta
commilie IN place Of Morgan, who is absent. The
sclec'ion IN wise one IN every respect
The coiumblas fully intended gong through this
Albany and the lack Of interest at their
TITS scason has stirrcd them up. and they have
again wheeled into limo and have secured Ellls
Ward to train them for the rest OF this season.
Ihey hold that the securing OF Ward Is not done
because its necessary for the improvcncnt OF the
crews, hut s done To siir up enthusiasm among the
members oI the club. TINS Is poor argument IN
dccd, for " they do not wish 10 secure Ward to
improve their rowing II IL foolish to think that such
ahig expense Will bring any rciurns simply because
OF enthusiasm raised among tho members. Ward Ia
one o. the best irainers IN the country and he is
prohcient oarsinen, especially those OF amateur
clubs. Under HIS coaching we expect to see some
very fast juniors and lightweight men produced,
while the eight will be better than ever before. The
senior sen, four Will be Mute, konirnp, ami Wade,
w,'m M cnmcr Lewis or SION IN number three scat.
This Will be big four indtc cd.
Although many OF the Analosian's best men arc
out of town on pleasure bent, there lots OF en-.
thusiasm and good work done by the men during the
past week. The array OF new rowing material at
hand has surprised the friends Of the organization
as well as the other rowing men OF the river, and
there s no excuse, unless that OF lazness, why the
club should not bring out some excellent AMI strong
crews for this seasons races. They have the men,
aud they also have the boats ready Tor work. 10 far
gallantiy to the 'front.' Capt wrsh, was out nearly
every afternoon with the crews and as he generally
occupied stroke seat he set very pretty aud clear
stroke Great care Is to lie taken In selecting their
Junior and lightweight crews, as the material at hand
warrants the production OF fast AMI spuriy crews,
and II Is expected that by September ali the crews
Will he known and the men set to hard WORK The
club ought to repair the "ynion Shellr as II ia nm
iou0edly as good rs any In the house, though many
No one will deny the fac, that 40 far tbis season
the Potomacs have done more work than any of
their competitors on the river, and that they have al
hand ma more new men than any OF tho others. Since
tnnl
mad out every day at least three good four Dared
crews, and they have under his tuition showed
marked Improvement In their rowing. The little
lmpromptu races between the big men each after
noon Ia producing enthusiasm among the large fel
lows. On Monday the celebrated lightweight crew,
kearney, Fisher, cornwel, AMI Warden were out.
r0wed In atwO.mile race by picked big crew OF
Perey, Min,ieefr, Noorisy, and pialsted. The re-.
s ma mas aready @ reaped Its good results as many OF
the little fellows. The new boat gives general salts
faction, as y has demonstrated that It Is a very
last craft When the club Is supplied with new and
proper oars for rowing, better WORK will be gotten
from the crews. There Is any amount OF rowing.
ON Thursday the Columbia eight had strange
experience up river that for time threatened to be
