I
| apparent than ever before, not only from
| the number Of men, but in the excellent
-cIose nnlsh races they rowed.
Inc new 'chippie" crew is making great
headWay IN practice and each day brings
| the men closer together IN their work, so
that IN few days they will have that
ready swing and machine-like movement for
which c. A. c. crews have aIwavs been
noted. Fhe crew is composed of Jaauette,
stroke; Nolan, 3; Shoemaker 2, and
carter, bow, and this Will more than likely
form the Junior crew for the regatta
The senior four is at work taking more
than usual hard practice, for il does not
seem to have regaincd that lively swing
and steady keel for which it was noted
two years age. 1t has the strength which
now only needs tOuIng down into working
shape The crew is rowing Eaton, stroke;
Lewis, 8; Maun, 2; and Blunt, bow
The junior eight Will be an exceptionally
strong crew, the makeup of which is not
yet decided upon. The crew Will be made
up from among Clarke, Clapp, Craig, Shoe
maker, Wells, Tallmadge, Sumsford, Par
sons, Mooney, Boyle Walsh and Moar
II VIII be Il heavy crew.
In Boyle and MOar the club has two cX-
cellcnt sculiers, who viii give all comers
lively time going over the course on Au-
,tiSt "A.
The regatta and hop were such n great
success that Capt. Baker hopes to repeat
them at an early day
Dewdney and Wells are two good men
who would strengthen either eight
II is more than likely that Taussig. Of
Cornell, and one or the candidates for Cor
nels big eight which went over to Henley,
Will row No. in the junior eight His
strength and experience viii materially
strengthen the crew.
POTOMAC BOAT CLUB.
Seldom has the Potomac Boat Club been
better prepared at the beginning OF a
season for a good hard campaign than it
is now. The number of good men is ex-
ceptionaily large and every crew should
fill well
Eight new members were recently
elected, making thirty-three new members
III two months, and all are anxious 10 row,
and there Will be no trouble in getting all
the rowing they may want.
GoTnlley and BaUby are earnest, hard
workers, who viii deserve seat in one or
more crews.
The club earned lots OF fame i'll former
years from the work of lightweight
'foUrS' which rowed from, this house
This year the other clubs are fortunate in
having a number who VIII train TO the
weight required.
Warden may be induced 10 fill the bow
seat in a lightweight four, in which
crew and position he was many times a
winner.
Some one stepped through one Of the
streaks OF the barge at the water line on
the port side, and made an ugly hole on
| Wednesday last Fortunately Capt Of
fley succeeded in getting her and his crew
ashore before swamping
number OF changes have been made in
the junior eight, trying the men in differ
eat positions, SO thaJ each man may get
what he wants.
Archer is doing good work in the eight
CorbIn Ball is another man who takes his
practice with relish.
C. Oliver hopes to get a single TO suit
him in time 10 row III the August regatta.
The club VIII give a regatta IN a week or
two, and some good contests are promised.
John Doyle rescued boy from drowning
on Wednesday last II was a noble deed
Since the date OF the Potomac River
Regatta has been fixed the number OF boats
in the Analostan boathouse has been insult
ficient 10 supply the demand Ofthe ambitious
oarsmen. On Thursday the club had out
two gigs, two fours, an eight, and all the
! pleasure boats.
The selection of the lightweight four
cared race in place or gig fer the regatta
| has proved TO be a popular move, as II is
believed that this and the other two clubs
will make O most interesting race among
themselves. The club has some good mater
/ ial which can row at l25 pounds with a
| good chance to win. Among the little
! men are. Stearns, Moore, Leet, Hine, Fair,
Ballantyne, Torbert and Grimes.
Capt. Moore cOntemplatcs holding another
club regatta on Saturday afternoon next.
One OF the principal features OF the club
regatta will be race between the two
"fours" which rowed such close race
/ in the regatta of the 14th inst. The crews
are made up as follows: No. 1 Mills, stroke;
Haines, 3; Taylor, 2, and Moore, bow.
| No. 2, Leete, stroke; Ross, 3; Ludlum, z,
and Fischer, bow. 1t VIII be hot race.
The senior four as it will row on August
! 24 is made up OF Mills, stroke; Howard,
3; Leete, ., and Moore, bow. The crew
takes lots OF hard practice, aud when Mills
| finds the stroke he wants, for he is making
! Il study Of effective strokes, he will very
! likely have a winning crew. The men
row now with easy body aud leg movement
| and their sweeps go We'll Though the
/ water without wasting strength at any
portion of the stroke
A familiar face on the river during the
| week was that of Ralph Daskam former
| member OF the club, aud now the mana ger
| of railroad in Ohio. During his short
| stay in town he took several spins up
| river, pleasure he could not well forego.
| The regatta committee made a wise
move when it elected Louis Fischer its
| secretary He is a hard worker and a
hustler o. P. SCHMIDT.
