New York, will send junior and senior scullers,

and Coumbias, of Washington. The Ionas,
Nespers, and Pennsylvania, of Philadelphia,
will also send scullers Junior fours are eX-

probably the Potomacs, while the Arels and Nep
tunes, of Baltimore, will make entries in this
race. The senior four will be contested by the
crack Ariel crew, consisting of Nansant /, Rem
wick ., McCleland 3, Slack stroke, and one

in 1t: Hartlig l, Holton ., Shriver 3, Pratzman
4, Vansant 5, Renwick O, Mcclellan :, and
Slack stroke. The famous Vesper crew, of
Philadelphia, and the Potomacs, of Washing
ton, are expected in this race so II will be seen
that the affair really gives promise OF being
big affair. Every attention will be shown vis-
tors during their visit to the regatta.
The Columbia Athletics are devotng consid-
erable time to field sport on Analostan Island.
Capt. Stinemetz has host of aspiring athletes
at work every day, and they are learning very
rapidly the necessary kinks from Professor
Crossley. On the track he has Sam King, VIII
Hibbs, and Joe Elliott who are developing very
fast as cinder-track flyers; Miller Kenyon, the
long distance runner; Jim Irwin and Dickinson
as shot-putters, and number of others, such
as Phil Brown, the bicyclist; Coville, the pole
vaulter, and Shelley, the high kicker. A team
from the above will be sent to Philadelphia at
the coming handicap meeting.
The interest in rowing on the Potomac is
ofart fnr tba t1raa
1t looks as if there was to be a big revival in
this grandest of all outdoor sports, similar to
that which the North is at this time experienc
ing. 1t is a common sight to see two eights,
four or five fours, two or three gigs, several
singles, and the barges of the several clubs on
the water at the same time, and as they all
skim along, each oarsman putting his best work
in, it makes decidedly attractive sight. There
is no jarring this season, but all moves along
smoothly, affording reasonable hopes for big
regatta here IN September.
Psotta is training on Lake Wildemere, out of
reach of the London sports, who besieged him
| last year and lured him into the frvolity which
ruined his chances. With fair luck he will this
year take the Henly diamond sculls back to the
New York Athletic Club. The English amateur
champion, Guy Nickals, who defeated Psotta
last year, says he will row this year. He has be-
| gun training Gardner, the stroke of Cam
bridge, will also contest and the race promises
to be exciting.
The Analostans are making preparations to
| get out crews during this week, and Capt. Nc
kenney hopes to get regular junior one work
! ing by Wednesday. The new material in the
club is very desirous of rowing, and it is the in
tention of the club to give them every induce
ment to do so. They have several good training
craft, while their new four-oared shell is a
beauty.
The Potomacs were lively during the past
week, as not night passed that less than four
| WI 0rt N thair uniforms Tho mo-
element that has affiliated with the club this
year is enthusiastic and they cannot get rowing
enough. Among the juniors who rank high are
IIillyer, Day, French, Mason, Noah, Mccoy,
| Knowlan, Denver, Roman, and Selden
The SchuylkiI Navy are having hard time
| to decide who shall be commodore, and the
courts have been petitioned to settle the squab-
BILE. 1t is interfering with boating consider
ably and may effect their Fourth of July re-
gatta. Too bad.
The second regatta of the Patapsco Navy at
Baltimore, on June %, will be participated in
| by number of the best oarsmen of New York,
| Philadelphia, Washington, and Boston. 1t is
expected that $4,000 will view the race.-,SpOrt-

According to q despatch from Melbourne
William O'Connor, the American oarsman, re-
ceived a severe strain while rowing on the Var
row few days ago, and he now refuses to go
on with his match with Kemp.
