AQUATIC.
What the Triton Swimming and
Boating Club Intends Doing.

With the present spell Of fine weather men,
bers OF some OF the local boating clubs have
concluded 10 cast aside their sleeping garments
and once again attempt to revive the grand
sport OF she'll and barge racing. AS previously
stated In HE CALL rowing in this bay has been
for number Of years sadly neglected by the
young men who professed TO be lovers of the
pastime.
1t Is high time that some of the oarsmen of
this city should make move I'm the right
direction aud make rowing what il should be
here. viz: one OF the leading features of out
door sport. Pension off the old shellbacks who
have sat for ye ars in the clubhouses spinning
yarns and watch ing their shells rapidly growing
into state of dryrOt for the need of a wetting
These old round shOudered yarn spipuers
should be given to understand that they are a
detriment 10 the advancement OF aqualics as
they induce the young and active members 10
remain indoors and play cards when they
should be on the water In their shells and
bargeS practicing for events of some kind
1t is spirit OF rivalry among the clubs that
Is now required 10 boom sport which. In many
ways, Is far ahead OF pastimes that are and
have been for some time largely patroniZed by
public which Is fond OF diversion. IL Is a pleasure
TO note that the Triton Swimming and Boating
Club has become live organization, and IL IS
TO be hoped that this eUterprising body of young
ana active athletes Will stay by the oar until
aquatics will be looked upon as one of the
features OF outdoor sport on the coast The
following letter from the secretary of the club
which Is self-explanatOry has the proper ring
to IL:
