ATHLETICS AND ROWING.

Secretary Gibson, of the National Associa-
ton, sends us the following items in relation to
rowing: At the last meeting OF the n. A. of A.
q. Erastus ID. Rogers, lately member of the
Iatassit Canoe Club, of Worcester, Mass, was
disqualified from rowing with amateurs for
violation of the rules. w. j. Snyder and John
Ietro, of Allegheny, Pa, were reinstated as
amateurs.-Every oarsman or athlete who
has participated in contests in this city under
the auspices OF a club or union of clubs is de-
sirous of renewing old acquaintances and hav-
ing more fun with the boys.-In the annual
convention the propriety of changing the regu-
lation distance of a mile and half in regattas
OF the association was discussed and referred to
instructed by the executive committee to re-
quest each associate club to reply to the fol-
lowing questions prior to January l, 1891: 1st
DO you favor shortening of the course which
is now prescribed by the regatta rules of this
association I'd. What length of course do
you favor? 3D. Do you favor turning races I?
4th. In what events do you favor turning races
= Turning races are popular in the West
Justly so, because the spectators,as rule, see the
start as well as the finish. On the Potomac we
have two very good courses of mile and q
half each, and either of them for turning race
could not be eXcelled.--The option for the
regatta in '9l having been given, we must not
let IL pass and advise the clubs to act promptly,
that preparations befittng the event may be
commenced before the end of the current year.
Should the winter bo cold enough to close the
river. an accurate mile and mile and a half
must be measured on the ice and all the
quarters carefully marked on the land, that
we may be prepared for change of the
ourse.-To club men we would say, Discuss
the subject, count the cost-which would be
trife when divided by three-and invite the
oarsmen to come to Washington and compete
for the championship of 1891, and promise
that home club will be represented in every
event.

A new move was taken on Friday evening by
the Arlington Bicycle Club that is intended to
meet want long felt in this neighborhood.
They appointed committee and appropriated
a sufficient sum to meet expenses, in order that
they might investigate on the propriety of
securing a large plat of ground on which all
the clubs of this city could assemble to settle
their athletic affairs. 1t is the purpose of the
Arlingtons to ask the cooperation of all
athletic and bicycle clubs in the District, and
if necessary they will raise $500 to meet current
expenses. The bicycle clubs are very desirous
of obtaining good track and place for such
meetings, as they believe the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen will hold their next meeting
here in 1891. The purpose is to have it as near
the railroads as possible, thereby rendering the
grounds easy of access. This is a move that all
our clubs should cooperate in.
New YORK. Nov. S.-Wendel Baker, the
crack sprinter of the Berkeley Athletic Club
broke the record for 200 wards this afternoon at
the Berkeley Oval The first trial was made in
record time, 90 1-5 seconds. The second at
tempt was made after half an hours rest and
the distance was negotiated in 20 seconds, or
one-tifth of a second better than the best pre-
vious American record, made several years ago
by Leon f. Meyers. The time-keepers were

Everything is not as serene and as peaceful in
athletic circles as one might suppose, and the
grumbling against the governing powers that
be of the Amateur Athletic Union are CON
stantly growing louder The Manhattan A.
c., of New York, are kicking because of the
refusal of the Union to accept the record of
Cary in the 100-yard made at Princeton; the
athletes of Long Island are up in arms on ac-
count of the refusal of the Union to admit two
prominent clubs of that section, and secret
organization is being formed in opposition to
the Union. Then there are other domestic
squabbles about salaried officers as athletes
that keep the kettle boiling all the time This
seems to be q case of pot calling the kettle

Hon. w. w. BOWERS, of San Diego,
was observed on our streets Yesterday.
He is probably here attending to his
congressional fences. Bowers is well
acquainted in San Diego and San Ber-
nardino counties-in fact, is probably
the best known man in the senatorial
district composed OF those two counties
but he is not extensively known in Los
Angeles. However, now that he has
fixed up matters at home, this southern
statesman will circulate extensively.
Everybody will have an opportunity to
become acquainted with the dulcet notes
of his wind organ. Bowers will be
found, to use language that perhaps
speaks of fippancy, to be clipper and
fly. He is not of the order OF statesman
illustrated by the God-like Daniel Web
ster, nor does he even impinge on the
claims of Henry Clay, but he is dynamo
set to good scale of force. He has
donned, like McGinty, his best suit of
clothes; but, unlike McGinty, he hopes
not to lie at the bottom of the sea.

THE WORK DONE AND THE WORK
TODO.

! The county convention has done its
work and adjourned. The complexion
of the delegation chosen is, as near as
we can determine it at present, about
half for Pond and half for Coleman.
This is, under the circumstances, tri-
umph for the former candidate The
county delegates came in strong for
Pond, and that saved him from a defeat
that would have proved disastrous, as
tar as the metropolitan county of South
ern California is concerned. 1t will,
in our judgment, be found that
Mr.. Ponds greatest strength will
come from the country precincts all
over the state. City primaries seldom
reflect the true opinions of the people.
It will be remembered thatwhen General
Stoneman was nominated for governor at
San Jose, he had but one vote in the
San Francisco delegation and but three
in the Los Angeles delegation yet when
the country was he4:fd from he developed
a strength which ultimately forced his
nomination. We believe that history
will repeat itself in this campaign, and
that Mr.. Pond will receive support
from the country delegates which will
insure his nomination. The HERALD has
no animus in urging the claims of Mr.,
Pond other than it's dominating desire
to secure the success OF the part" this
year. We believe that HI, :. the strong
est man before the people. and that
with him we sha','. triumph and with
out him we s.nall unnecessarily invite
defeat. Tie Republicans will put for
ward ttleir strongest man. We should
do the same. 1t is no reflection upon
TIE worth or standing of the other
aspirants to urge our people to make
such selection. We believe that we are
in touch with the pulse of the people,
and we should be false to our position if
we failed to give the Democratic party
the benefit of opinions, to which we have
arrived after the most careful, painstak-
ing and candid consideration. The
Democratic party can have but one OBJ
ject in this fight, and that is to place
before the people for governor its
strongest man-the man who will rally
to the ticket not only the party vote,
but who will draw to it that large and
decisive vote which is independent OF
party. Having man who combines in
himself the qualities that will achiev e
this result, we believe it would be sui
cidal not to place him at the head OF the
ticket.

CROWN HILLITES.
A Subsidy Wanted for the Cable
Road.


The Crown Hills Improvement Soci-
ETY. held a regular meeting last night, at
which the committee on the raising of
the Second-street cable railway subsidy
reported that about $15, 200 had been
signed for, and there was about $4,000
more in sight. The committee is still
working, with every hope of securing
the coveted sum of $35, 900.
John Van Dam reported the following
resolution, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The water furnished by the
Citizens Water Company is carried in
an open ditch for several miles; and
WHEREAS, Said open ditch runs ja-
cent to cattle corrals, and the water is
contaminated by said cattle, as we'll as
from other causes; and
WHEREAS, The consumers of the water
are Justly indignant at the gross criminal
negligence of the company in furnishing
such water; therefore be it
Resolved, That we ask the city council
to investigate the subject and if posi-
bic, to bring proceedings against the in
dividuals for thus outraging the rights
of citizen taxpayers, who are dependent
on the Citizens Water Company for
household use.
The meeting adjourned to Saturday
night, to hear reports from all commit
tees on the raising of subscriptions for
the cable road.
