Echoes of fine TomIin Regatta.
Mr.. H. G. Kudlich, of the Atlantics, is
one of the pluckiest oarsmen on the
river. While training for the single
shell race at the Tomlin Regatta he
sprained his leg badly.
Although barely able to walk he in
sisted upon getting into his shell and
tried to race, but after rowing a dozen
lengths pain. obliged him to succumb
Kudlich was the only man in
alantas, a brush for first place, and had he
been in good condition the result might
have been different.
Mr. Stegman, of the Meteor Boat Club,
who acted as referee at the Tomlin re-
gatta, is q true lover of sport. Although
his decisions offended some of the con-
testants. they were in accordance with
the rules, and he deserves credit for re-
fusing to change them.
If Mr.. Tom1in, of Gutenberg, would
desire to make his regatta a success in
the future, he must place the manage
ment in the hands of a more competent
committee than that which managed his
regatta last Saturday, or else he must
state definitely on his invitations who are
eligible and who are not Thelinyitations
said the races were open to all, so that
oarsmen from all over the country
could have entered. Yet the entries of Jim
Pilkington and Frank Nearing, of the
Metropolitans, were ignored, notwith-
standing they had cowplied with all the
requirements af the laws which governed
the regatta. The Metropolitans were al
lowed to go to the expense of bringing
their boats to Gutenberg, and were only
informed OF. the refusal to allow them to
row when the races were about to start
