Otner shOre and out oil their water, ana tne ngnt
was kept up in a dingdong, go-as-you-please
way until the mile aud a quarter was reached.
Here two of the men of the Nespers caught
crab, and quick to recognize the chance the Co
lumbas put on a magnificent spurt, got the
lead, and came home winners in 500 1t was
great race and the Columbias deserve credit
for maintaining their pushing pace. The prizes
were distributed the same night and the Colum-
bias burnt the town red.
The first steps toward the Inauguration of
the Potomac River regatta were taken last
week, the Analostan Club leading off by nam
ing committee of conference to meet the other
organizations. 1t is to be hoped this move OF
the oldest club will be followed by the other
organizations. With three enthusiastic clubs
here on the river, with capacity to accommodate
all the visiting oarsmen that might come, there
is no reason why big regatta should not be
the outcome of the Analostans' initiative. If
Baltimore, with its small clubs and poor ac
comm odations, can draw such fine set OF oars
men, there is every reason to expect that the
Washington clubs could triple their number of
entries.
The Columbia Athletics will send an eight to
Philadelphia to compete in the Peoples re-
gatta on July 4. 1t will be the same crew that
won at Baltimore last Wednesday, viz: Elder,
l; Kenyon, 2; Mckinney, 3; Janus, 4; John
son, 5; Baker, 6 Harlan, 4 Ryan, stroke;
Smith, coxswain. There is no denying the fact
that this is the best crew the Columbia Athletics
have ever had, and hope is expressed that they
will make creditabe showing. large num-
Der of the Columbia Athletic Club will go over
to see the regatta and whoop things up for their
lively "git-thar crew."
The Columbias were the guests of the Arels,
of Baltimore, during the regatta, and every care
was taken to see that the Washington boys
were thoroughly entertained The Messrs
Muncks, DR.. Turner, and Commodore Barclay
are capital hosts, and showed every attention to
the visitors. The Ariels will send a crew to
dol on mi 4 fnr ha
cared race, the same crew that rowed against
the Potomacs, excepting that Holton, strong
port stroke, takes the place of Mr.. Jim McCle-
Ian. 1t is said that this will make the crew ten
seconds faster.
The Peoples regatta at Philadelphia this
week will be the greatest rowing event of the
year. 1t is expected that the Cornell College,
lantas, Tritons, Vespers, New York Athletics,
Fairmounts, and Columbias, of Washington,
will be in the eght-oared race.
The Analostan committee as appointed con-
sists of Messrs. Samuel Maddox, K. Z. Pairo,
and Aug. Crane. The Potomacs hold meet
ing on Wednesday to consider the subject,
while it is expected the Columbas will also
meet the same evening to formulate plan.
Tobin of the Potomacs, will leave for his
home in San Francisco the latter part of the
week. 1t is probable that he will enter Yale
| College next season, and if he does will at
tempt to get in the big Varsity crew.

vote for some school teacher of your acquaint-
ance who you think would like to spend a vaca-
ton in Europe.
The Potomacs were seriously thinking of
sending their four and eight to Philadelphia,
but experience with referees from that section
has been too discouraging from the Potomac
point of view.
