good form and speed. The crew ought
to be n winner.
Barge parties are. becoming freque ent,
and several are set down for the coming
week.
The excursion TO Marshall Hall during
the past week was one of the delightful
affairs of the season and decided social
and financial success To Lieut. H.
A. Benner belongs the credit for the pro-
motion and the managing i'll the main of
the outing. His assistants on various COM
mittees rendered valuable and faithful
services.
Surprise is often expressed at the
scarcity of single scullers on our river,
of whom this club and the others formerly
each had a number.

During the past week some eighteen
or twenty candidates for seats III the shells
have been in daily attendance at the boat

In addition to these named there are
the following excellent men TO draw from

From among all these a good junior

G. Oliver has announced his intention
or competing IN the junior singles and
Judging from his work during the week
he Will prove formidable rival to that
old reliable George Won Dachenhousen,
who is taking lots of practice in his single
and so with his brother George
Maurice VIII probably take up singles
again and the club will thus have quite
a fleet of scHllers.
The two younger Ball brothers and
Barton and Jacobs have the making of
good material for Shell work but are not
as regular in attendance as the work re-
quires, being prevented by business calls.
Maschmeyer has been doing good work
in the coXswaiu's seat OF the eight
unfortunately his weight is against him
otherwise he might become fixture there.
That important position Will be filled
either by Warden or MulIett.
Capt. Shepherd is putting the finish
ing touches on his Nancy and the MEM
bers anticipate a royal time when the
craft is finally put in commission. Her
lines and general appearance stamp, ''shep"
