The Columbia Club VIII Send East for
New Boats.
The Columbia Rowing Club has taken a
new start Of life. and the prospects are very
favorable for a prosperous future. Although
for years the club has not held regatta,
still the members take a lively interest in
aquatic sports, and they propose to build up
the club 10 poiat which will command the
admiration Of the associated clubs.
A few evenings ago the club held a meet
ing and decided that the boat now in use at
the clubhouse had seen their best days ami
new outfit must be purchased. After
lengthy discussion on the best means of
securing new outfit, subscription list was
started and the members were asked by the
President to subscribe such sums as they
desired.
The first man who put his name down
subscrib $50, and the others followed his
example with free VII until the subscrip-
ton amounted to S375. As there is a bal
ance in the treasury Of $500, the club will
purchase six new boats, estimated to cost
$780, These will be purchased in the East
and will be shipped around the Horn in or
der 10 save freight and expense. They will
not be expected here until next spring, and
when they arrive the old boats viii be sold
to the Alameda Boat Club.
