II was the largest local regatta ever given in
America, and that the crews were selected
from the best of the Atlantic Division of the

oarsmen that were on hand, and nearly all
said they were coming to Washington in
August to attend the National regatta. He
saw President Garfield of the N. A. A. o.,
and President Simpson, of the New England
Association of Oarsmen, and they were all
loud in praising the selection of Washington,
and predicted it would surpass any regatta
ever held by the association President

On Monday the Washington hight Infantry
Corps and the Duponts will meet at the Ma
tional grounds to battle for the District
championship. Wise and Hayden and Thorn
burgh and O'Hagan will be the batteries
On Thursday the Duponts and Potomac
Athletics will meet for the last time this sea-
son, and the Potomacs will try and win one
game from their pluckY adversaries. The
game Will probably be played at Capitol Park.
The Potomacs are corresponding with the
New York and Manhattan Athletics, of New
York, the Staten Island and the New Jersey
Athletic Club for a series of games. If the
games are arranged large crowd of p. A. C.'s
will make the trip with the team.
One of the most eventempered batteries
in the League is that of Kelly and Hodge, of
the Potomacs They seem to understand one
another perfectly and never let anything rattle
them. Kelly, while a great s'giber,o never gets
mad and has more friends on the field than any
other player
In the recent Georgetown-P Potomac game
Umpire Jones was called on to render deci-
sion that did not meet with the approval of
the former. A batsman was at the plate, and
in making his second attempt to hit the ball
the ball struck him. He was given his first
base for being hit by the pitcher, and on this
Georgetown kicked, but the umpire held to his
decision, which was unquestionably correct
according to the rules.
The last game Of the season for Georgetown
College was played on Thursday last against
the Potomac Athletics. Georgetown won and
thereby closed most prosperous season, not
a single defeat marking their play. The team
was certainly the strongest that ever repre-
sented the college, and much Of its success is
due to the energy and enthusiasm Of Father
Harlin, the first prefect OF the university.
School days will soon be over and during vaca-
tion the students of '9l will have the glorious
fact to cheer them that their ball team never
knew defeat

The balls furnished to the League are made
by the firm of Messrs. A. G. Spaulding & Co.
and they have stood the test for years without
a complaint being made against them until
this season. The cause of complaint this
year in this city from amateurs arises from
the fact that several of the fields played on
have been rough, uneven, and filed with
stones, and hence hard-hit ball striking a
sharp surface of this kind is liable to tear it,

Il Resolution For the benefit of Steam
boat Deck Passengers

Special to the TxLrGR,N-HEaALD.
LANSING, Mich, Feb. lS.-Represent-
alive Wagner, OF Marquette, introduced
q joint resolution calling the attention
of the general government to gross
abuse, and asking for Its correction.
The preamble speaks for itself. II is as
follows:
Whereas, 1t is the custom of steam
boat managers on the great lakes to
herd the class of immigrants known as
deck passengers in among the freight,
giving preference TO their loading to
freight over the deck passengers, COM
pelhng men and women to herd to-
gether without the care Tor their COM
fort, which ls accorded TO cattle, and
furnishing no facilities for the separa-
ton OF the sexes. and.
Whereas, 1t is unbecoming the boast
ed humanity and civilization of the
United States that the above reclted
state OF things should exist, or that
transportation companies should be al
lowed TO so set at defiance all rules of
decency and morals, even when the
transportation paid for IS the very
cheapest therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Mich
igan, that our Senators and Represent
atives in Congress be urged 10 take such
action, either through the Treasury
Department or by act of Congress, as
VIII compel steamboats, carrying deck
passengers to provide room for such
passengers, and where women and chill
dren, when they desire, may be separate
and apart from the men.
