THE STATE REGATTA.
Afsr some little talk, Mr.. Lamb,
representing the Rives crew, asked
when the race between the Rlves crew
and the Virginia. crew would take
place.
Mr.. Crump. representing the Nir-
ginias. SAID that on July 10th there
would be brilliant regatta ON the
James. at Warwick Park. This regatta
would be under the charge of the Nir-
gina Boat Club, which ne represented,
and before that time, as was their prlvl-
lege, they would make up the pro
gramme.
Mr.. Lamb was Of opinion that this
regatta on the 10th could not be given
under the auspices of the Virginia As
ISOLATION Of Amateur Oarsmen. 1t
was necessarily regatta which would
be given under the auspices of the Viz
gina Club.
Mr.. Lamb then moved that the Assoc
citation race for the State cup be held
Saturday, July 9Th.
Mr.. Beach, Of Alexandria, seconded
the motion.
Mr.. Crump said that everybody pres
ent knows what was said at the meet
ing the day previous. The representa-
tives of the Nirglnias were then ready
To say that the crew would row on Sat
urday, but could not guarantee any
thing. Whatever the Association
ordered he was satisfied the Nirginias
would obey. The regat.a on the l6th
he was sure would Ice one that every
member Of the association would like
TO participate in. All that was neces-
sary for the association was to adopt a
simple motion to have the regatta on
the 10th and to adjourn the Council
until that date Tie made that motion.
MIR. johnson, of the Rappahanu0cks,
asked whether the Nirginias could
have a crew on the lGtn OF tomorrow.
Mr.. Cump: We will have crew,
barring unexpected accidents, such as
sickness.
MIR. Beach. Of the Nirginias. believed
that it was the sense Of the association
that the race between the two crews
should take place Saturday. July 9th.
Mr.. Lamb motion was adopted.
THE REGATTA On 10TH.
Mr.. Cmmp said now he would make
n more formal statement than that
made by him earlier lie said that there
would be regatta on the 10th day Of
.Iuly. at Warwick park. There Will be
crews from large number of Northern
boat clubs, and the Nirginias would not
hesitate To row against them all. These
races would be given under the aus
pices of the Virginia Boat Club. lie
extended, on behalf of the Nrginias a
formal invitation TO every boat club,
members of the State Association re-
presented. To be present and participate
m the races. They could enter at any
time up to the day preceding the race.
MIR. Lamb said that the Rivcs crew
would be glad 20 remain over aud par
ticipate in the regatta on the 10th. but
il was absolutely impossible 10 hold
the men together till that time. Some
of them had to 90 home, and It was by
straining point that they waited over
until Saturday.
Mr.. Crump moved that the race take
place at $50 o'clock L. NJ, and stated
also that a programme would DO ar
ranged as best could do by reason Of the
short notice to have additional races
before and after the STATE race.
His motion was adopted.
IL was stated BIZ Mr.. Crump that the
crews would be taken to the Monitor
tleet, lust below which was the starting
point
REFEREE.
The selection Of a gentleman versed
I'm boating matters TO act as the umpire
or referee took up sometime.
Mr.. Crump nominated Captain j. Nj.
Pegram. as man fully qualified for
The position.
Nj. Lamb suggested that inasmuch
as Captain Pegtam, was a member OF
the Virginia club, he might not feel
disposed TO serve. For himself he
would not serve under the circum-
stances. There was no man whom he
thought more capable or fairer than
Captain Pegram. He believed that the
referee who had TO decide on fouls, II
any. and protests, and everything con
nected with the race, from whose de-
cision there was no appeal, should bo a
man not connected with the rowing
clubs.
Mr.. Allen Potts. Of the University
School. of Petersburg. nominated Mr.
