rough condition of tho water and the uafa-
vorable weather of the past few weeks the
crew have been unable 10 do much pIaclic-
ing and are therefore not in as good training
as is desired, yet they have pluck and

they can and they have many friends who
believe they will win the race. 1t IS now

crews have entered, the Eirsinias Of Rich.
mond, who won the race last year by half
boats length and now hold the cup, and the
Old Dominion, of this city. who came IL
second in that race. The crews from The
other cities who it vas expected would take
part in the regatta have decided not to do
80 for reasons they do not state, but which
can readily be imagined by those who saw
how badly they wero left in last years
race. The Richmond crew is composed OF
large men of heavy weight, and has been in
hard training for about two months, while
the crew from this city are all light weights
but have fine staying" qualities. The

many kinds have been attacked by these
insects and in many instances the bare
