The Berkeley Boys Have
Set Their Teeth.
FEEL A LITTLE SIGHTED.
They Will Appear With the Stanford
Students i'm the Big Chicago
Regatta.

stamford University will be represented
at the Worlds Fair"
This announcement appeared In an extra
published by the Daily Palo Alto, the
official organ OF the students of Stanford.
The students are to be represented by a
boat crew and will compete in the college
regatta to be held In Chicago at the end Of
July.
When the Berkeley students heard of this
they loudly expressed their indignation at
the Board of Regents. who refused last year
to give them money to build boathouse
and buy boats, and they are now deter
mined that If they cannot get it In any other
way they will pay for it themselves. But 1t
will be expensive and beyond the means OF
the student body. and therefore they have
determined to hold meeting and discuss
the ways and means of securing the neces-
sary amount.
This meeting will be held next Wednesday
afternoon, mt $3.50 o'clock, in the assembly
hall at the State University.
President Kellogg will open the meeting
and will address the students on the advisa-
hility of Immediately organizing boat
club. The president is an old \ ale man
and was at New Haven when tho boat club
was far from being in as f1ourshlng con-
diton as it is now. He will therefore be
able to speak from experience and can tell
the best possible way of effectins an organ
iZation.
Colonel Edwards will be present at the
meeting and will give the boys the benefit
of his experience in athletic events. at
which he Is always an interested spectator.
MI Magee, the instructor in physical
culture. Is very anxious to have the scheme
turn out well. He is very much interested
in rowing, and In lieu of other means has
had four rowing machines placed in the
gymnasium.
Mr.. Magee is very popular with the
students. and any advice that he will give
on training will be greatly appreciated by
them.
Professor Soule has taken great interest
in the football team this year, and is equally
interested In aQuatics. He will say a few
words, and as he is a man OF varied
experiences his talk should be very pleasant.
Tile event OF the afternoon will be the
speech of an old Yale oarsman. now resi-
dent OF Oakland.
After the talks, plans for organization
will be discussed and estimates Of the cost
Of the club will be presented.
Plans Of the boathouse have already been
drawn up and will be submitted for inspec-
tion. The house is TO be built on Alameda
Point where the freight boat lands, and is
to be two stories. The first floor is to be
used for the shells and canoes. while the
second floor is TO be used for dressing-rooms
for both ladies' and gentlemen, and is to
contain a reading-room also. The Intention
of the 0riginator5 is 10 make the boat club
for the entire student body and not alone
for the crew
AS for going to the Worlds Fair. that
will be decided In the near future
If the boathouse were built and the shells
secured there would not be great expense.
for all costs would be guaranteed before
leaving for Chicago. Ii things go right the
intention of the students is to train mod
erately until vacation aud then go into act
i've training until July, when they will leave
for Chicago.
