was not relshed at all by the rowing men Of the
Columbia Club, who insist that they need no prcklng
past that they will always be ready for race
who wrote 1t knew very little on the subject when
by little energy he could learn directly the OppO
site TO the views expressed. Capt Stinemetz said
that the Columbia Club would be represented IN
three four-oared shells, the gg, and the eight
oared-iheir only absence being from the scull-
Ing races, as % they At present = had no senior

80 far pleasantly and agreeably to nearly 81. the
members OF the coum6iss and Ward nnds his A. A.
has not had the same facilities this season as last TO
select his juniors and liRht-weiRhts from, being
selections. Siill he has had nioat each afternoon
good crews. The junior four has been his hardest
task 6ni II Looks a. now va aS y he was s accomplishing
too, are hard at work, and II Is known now TO q
surety that they VIII enter Junior aud lightweight
fours In the regatta while strenuous endeavors are
being made TO run out a senior crew In that big
race. The almost total lack OF Interest that fell
upon the members OF this good club after the Fourth
hui, thanks % the Wisdom Of having
president and captain, the men are once again
at work, and VIII perhaps have larger
number of crews anoat than ever before. This IL
al II should be, and The club Ii to be appauded for
their Efforts, which every lover OF the sport hopes to
see crowned with success. The POiOmaca, who
commenced about two months ago, have now got
down 10 hard work, aud the men who are expected
TO the races are daily seen ploughng the water
as fast they can push their ahels. Their trainer
(PIaisted) has devoted all his time 10 the men and
boats and II they do not win Il will not be because OF
any fault Of his efforts TO produce the best men. hs
10 The old fault that crops up yeary. stu he thinks
to the club than In any previous year. By winning
the light weight race ihs year the Potomacs become
sole possessors OF the valuable cup now In their pos
session; consequently great Efforts Will be put for
ward 10 accomplish the desired result They have
three men already down weight, but II Ia the wish o
rlased TO bring two others down TO the ngures before
Tuesday evening next. which Will require supernu
man effort on their part. Now, an to outside crews
participating very little Ia known az tho entries vii
not be made known before Tuesday evening next
II Is very probable that Ia the senior four, besides
our local clubs, there Will be Tie Alcyl0nes, O
Elizabeth, N. j., and possibly one from Pladel

another from E,zaoen N, \, i Ia ae sigs w!l b.
