The enameed button of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club was conspicuous in the crowd at the
Sixth-street station last night. number of
the boating enthusiasts OF the club had gath
cred at the station, some sf them to accompany
the eght-oared crew which will participate in
the Staten Island regatta on Monday, and 9th
ers to see the boys off. The members Of the
expedition were very enthusiastic, feeling quite
confident that their crew would make good
record, If it did not bear the Columbia colors
to victory in the big Labor Day regatta.
Trainer Courtney, who took an early train in
company with the eight-oared shell, was very
quiet, but there was a CLEAN in his eyes which
indicated that he believed he had brought his
crew up to point of proficiency which made it
certain they would not dishonor the colors in
which they will row tomorrow. The Columbia
crew which left last night will, barring acci-
dents, start tomorrow as follows: Janus s,
Snyder 4, Crst 6, Ryan 5, johnson 4, Shoe
maker 2, Kenyon /, and Smith coxswain. This
crew has done some first rate work in practice
the past week, and while their stroke is not
phenominally fast it is powerful one, almost
perfect in its evenness. They are sure to
make a creditable showing, and if they
come in first there will be a number
of Columbia men not in the least surprised
Among those who accompanied the crew were
James f. Hood, president of the club; Frank
McDermott, G. ii. Jones, r. J. Elder, Lieut.
Mills Deane. The Potomac crew, which will
participate in the regatta, left on Friday night
1t is made up as follows: Dyer 8, Fischer Z,
Reynolds 6, Elmore 5, Rhinehardt a. Smithson
Trainer Plaisted has worked hard to bring this
crew up to point as near perfection as posi-
BILE. and he as well as the Potomac boys gener-
ally felt that their champions would do
credit to themselves tomorrow on the Kills.

The rowing event at Staten Island on Monday
will in all probability end aquatic training in
then commence work for the football games of
the fall. Already tits known that the Columbia
Athletics are getting such men as Harlan,
Davis, Lee, Burrows, King, Dickinson, and
others ready, while the Potomac Athletics will
make their first appearance with DYER Mccoy,
Elmore French, Doyle, Rhinehart, and Smith
son as a part of their team. Then when
scholastic year comes around the Kendalls and
the Georgetown University will place teams in
the field 1t promises to be a lively football
season.
Capt Gibson's opinion of the coming boat
at Staten Island as between the Columbias
and Potomacs is as follows ''The two crews ap-
pear to be equally fast, and it is difficult to de-
termine if there is any difference. But there is
no doubt which one is in the best form, and If
that counts for anything the Columbias will
surely win. If, on the other hand, the Potomacs
have two or three men muck stronger than a
like number in their opponents boat, and 1t
looks as If they have, the chances are in their
favor"
One of the features of the Amateur Athletic
meeting here in October will be the deciding of
the swimming championship. 1t promises to be
one OF the greatest races that has taken place in
America. Dickinson, of the Columbia Athletics,
if not engaged in other work, would make a
great race in this class of events.
Much comment was recently made over the
failure of Corbett, of Chicago, to start in the
National regatta at Worcester, where he was
entered. The reason was plain, as the N. A. A.
o. debarred him, as we'll as Rogers, of Albany,
for alleged crookedness. Appley, of Providence,
was reinstated.
Mr.. Charles ii. Boynton, the lacrosse and
football enthusiast of the Columbias, returned
on Friday from his vacation, most of which
was spent in Canada.
Carlisle Whiting, of the Potomacs, has re-
turned from his summer trip to the Natural
Bridge, and is rowing every pleasant day in the
shells,
Good time was made in the bicycle races at
Buffalo, N. Y, yesterday. The weather was
chilly, and strong wind was blowing.
Sammy King, of the Columbia Athletics,
passed his vacation at Atlantic City. He ex-
poets to make good record in October.
Mr.. Eugene Morgan, of the Analostans, was
also one of the aquatic representatives seen this
year at Atlantic City.
The Analostans are arranging for fall re-
gatta that will probably come off about Sep
tember Is.
What has become of the Columbia Athletic
lacrosse team9 That should be kept going by
all means.
