one and that there are some surprises in store.
NATIONAL REGATTA
Entries for the national regatta to be held at
Saratoga lake July 20 and ~ show q very large
and certainly o very excellent list. The senior
eight-oared race between N. Y. A. @. Chippies
and the Maltas and the Atalantas and the
Manhattan A. @. viii be one worth going many
miles to see. The fact that there are eight Of
the crack senior tours will alone insure q good
days sport and then see the crack senior singles
who Will churn up the lake. See such scullers
as Bergin and Headley, who has Just won the
dash at Toronto, and Durham Of Toronto and
Ryan and Hawkins and Caffrey and Bulger, the
latter having defeated Hawkins this month at
Albany, and so on through all the events. It
will become of the largest rtgattas in the history
Of the national association.
The Potomac junior eight will have as COM
Petitors the Dauntless Of New York and the
Everetts of Boston, and 1t will make very
pretty race, and let us all hope that our river
will win.
Several Of the Toronto crews who made en-
tries in the national as juniors have since won
and will now find themselves in very fast COM
pany as seniors.
THE LOCAL REGATTA.
The joint committee on Potomac river needs
o little ginger to iven it up and hustle around.
1t is true several members are away, but those
remaining here ought to pu. in some good ticks

committee on G. A. r. encampment, which lat

the joint committee to second meeting, as the
hour OF the first meeting was changed and the
notice too short to reach all the regatta COM
mittee.
Another meeting will probably be held the
coming week, and as the regatta il favorably
looked upon by the encampment committee let
us all hope that We can persuade others to see
the plan in as clear light as we see it. Here's

old methods.
The furnace building is of brick 70xS0
feet, and two stories high, and is the
largest open furnace in the country.
There are two pots Sc inches across, and
20 inches deep; II extra-sized ovens of
latest designs, and two large lears of the

glass. The plant was selected by the
building committee after thorough
inspection of the leading glass works
and methods of the country. The sand
to be used will come from the Severn
river, ana the coal and lumber from
Western Maryland and West Virginia.
The plant, when in full operation,
will employ about 200 men in all depart

blowers. AT first tho production will
be principally green and other colored
work, but the scope of the undertaking
will be increased as occasion demands.

Colonel William NJ. Singerly is now
wearing his happiest smileand receiving
the congratulations of hosts of friends
over the triumph Of his bay colt Morello,
son of Eolus, for the great S15 900
Futurity stakes at Sheepshead bay Sat
urday. The winning Of the race meant
$65, 900 clear money to his Philadelphia
owner.
The ownership of Morello had, up to
the winning of the race, been clouded in
mystery. But the mysterious cloud
rolled away with the note of victory,
and the arch smile around Colonel
Singerly's handsome mustacho told the
story Of his happiness and ownership.
Colonel Singerly is modest about the
victory. When Press reporter saw
him at his residence yesterday and
asked what he had to say about the
great bay colt, he reticently and laugh
ingly said 81 would rather say nothing
about the race"
"Did you think that Morcllo would
win?"
81 never had any doubt about it, was
the quick and earnest answer.
There was some trouble in getting a
jockey, wasn't there 2"
"les, we were quite much annoyed
that Fitzpatrick was not allowed to ride

could not be beaten"
"lou were reported to have won
money on the race"
DIDN'T BACK THE COLT.

won $35, 900 in bets. That is not true.
l did not bet and am not in the habit
of betting. | was in the race for the
purse"
'Will you donate the purse to the
western campaign fund.-" was asked.
At this broad smile broke over Col
oncl Singerly's face and shaking his
head lalghingly he replied Don't ask
me that. cant tell The colonel then
declined out of modesty to talk any
more.
The story of how Morello came into
the possession Of Colonel Singerly is in
teresting. The colt is by Eolus, ont Of
Gerise, by Mocassin and was bred by w.
G, Hardy of Virginia, who still owns the
dam. Mr.. Hardy lives near Colonel
Hancock of ElleTslied Stud, Overton,
Va.
The offspring of Eolus and Cerise was
forwarded along with Colonel Hancock's
yearliugs to the New York market last
year and was put up at auction. He was
small and had faulty hooks.
SOLD FOR 500.
Nobody seemed to want Morello, and
the auctioneer was compelled 10 beseech
for bids. At last Mr.. boswell,
neighbor of Mr.. Hardy, whose father
was Il well known breeder and turfman,
offered 500 for the colt He secured
the son of Eolus for this small sum and
took home to Bullfeld. Mr.. boswell
gave Morello his name, and under his
care the colt ,hriyed. 'DuFieg this spring
