cannot affect either Tintic or Park City,

New York oarsmen are somewhat exer-
cised about the future of their sport, be-
cause of the rapid degeneracy of the Har-
lem as rowing stream. 1t is already little
more than a mud stream, scarcely larger
than the Thames at London. When the
ship canal is completed it will be nothing
more than canal itself, bulkheaded all its
length and full of traffic Even now it is so
crowded that good practice rowing is al
most impossible. The Hudson and East
river are almost invariably rough with tide
and wind. There are very few days when
it is possible to do much upon them with
shell except Just before sunset when the
tide is right. The bay at Bay Ridge is even
worse. tits, perhaps, sign of the future
that the Varunas are looking towards
Sheepshead bay for a refuge and the Metro
politans have already club house on the
Passalc as well as on the Harlem. Quieter
waters mast certainly be sought. That in
spite OF the big and turbulent tidal arms of
the sea, with which it is their fate to con-
tend, the New York oarsmen make such
brave showing at regatta after regatta is
certainly in the highest degree creditable
to their pluck and skill
