to.meet the toughened collegians, who have had
already six months good work. 1t is, to say
the least, a bad handicap, and some means
ought to be taken to Offset it. If the Schuylkill
Navy people set the example the rest of the
clubs will follow them.
The Columbias did not make as good
record on the Schuylkill on July as their
friends expected, for they finished bad third
to the University of Pennsylvania. The time
of the winners was 7.56, that of the Columbias
S13, or seventeen seconds behind The Co.
lumbias deserve considerable credit for going to
Philadelphia to row. Net member of the or
ganization looked for anything like victory,
only hoping that the crew would make stub
born contest against the great field expected to
be on hand. 1t is good crew, and when they
become fully seasoned and in condition will
make the best in America hump to beat them
over a mile and half course. They were not
together ten days and many of them entered
the boat totally out of condition.
The following amateurs have been disqualified

Lowell, Dennis Donoghue, and Jerry Donoghue,
Of the Nautilus Club, Hamilton. The com
mittee passed resolution declaring that oars
men who associate with men who attend re-
gattas only for the purpose of betting are liable
to be disqualified.
The Potomacs entered an eight for the Sharp
less regatta at Philadelphia July 4, but at the
last moment were forced to give up the idea of
going. Tobin, one of their best men, was forced
to return to San Francisco, and another of the
crew was prevented from going. This turn of
affairs was greatly regretted by the club gener-
ally, they desired to meet the pick of the
country on the Scuylkill River.
The Potomacs at their last meeting received
communication from the Analostans notifying
them of the appointment of a committee to
make arrangements for an annual regatta The
| Potomacs seconded the movement, and ap-
pointed Judge Dyrenforth, Capt G. A. Zappone,
and A. B. Trescott as their conferees They at
the same meeting elected eighteen new members.
The rapid speed the up-river steamers develop
after they pass under the Aqueduct Bridge on
| the up trip makes it very dangerous for shell
| and pleasure boating in this region. The steam
boat men know there is no law to reach them,
and they rush ahead reckless of the danger they
| are placing the pleasure seekers in the small
boats in.
The regatta of the Middle States Association
on August and g. at Newark, n. j., will be
the greatest aquatic meet of the year. Over
fifty clubs have signifed their intention of being
present, but as yet none is down from Wash

previous record.
