1t was a great victory, especially in view
OF the fact that they We're away from home
and on a strange course, but on water which
was SO rough that 1t was as much to their
liking as il il had been made for them.
ROUGH WATER AGAINST LOCALS.
That the rough water and the cross winds
severely btndered the locals must be ad-
mitted. Il not only prevented their win
ring, hut in at least two races it caused
them to fail to make even good showing
They couldn't feather high" all hover the
course upon such short notice.
Tothose who saw the races it must have
been evident from the start that the 'sky-
scraplng" OF the visitors was natural and
brought about by practice in water almost
running a sea at an times.
For the good or rowing the victories of
the Baltmoreaus VIII serve the excellent
purpose OF rrviving aod increasing an inter
est in rowing IN Baltimore, an impetus
which Is very much needed. The excellent
crew which won here for the j. A. c. viii

participant a al big open events Ofcoure

NEW RUNNING AND JUMPNGRECORDs.
The coming athletic contests between
the New York Athletic and London Ath-
letic Club teams VIII draw 10 them an un-
usual amount OF Interest. The N. Y. A. c.
has strong team 90 present, and VIII no
doubt win 6 . per cent Of the events on the
programme.
Little Tommy Connect, the famous dis
tance runner, viii make 1t interesting
for his rivals. His latest record for the one

is 4 minutes / 3 2-5 seconds, which is l 3-5
seconds better than the record for the mile

to clear away winners Of a fair number
or events
The new records Of Conneff and Sweeney
are official, as they were made in open
events, the holding or which was sane

A large number or local clubnnen win go

AQUATIC LANTERN PARADE.
The members Of the Regatta Committee
sun IN town are not prepared to say what
action VIII be taken upon the proposition
10 have an evenings aquatic parade OF all
the boats OF the three clubs, the outline
plans Of which have heretofore been given.
There is 10 doubt that it VIII help mate
rally to keep up the interest in boating
little longer and have the affair preceded
and followed by several club regattas
The idea OF having an aquatic lantern
parade is a good one, and the very novelty
of it hercabouts would draw many per
soHs to the boat houses and river banks.
The fun regatta committee VIII be back
during the week, and this matter, together
with others pertaining to the settling up OF
the affairs Of the regatta, VIII receive at
tention.

the races Of Saturday last. The boys are
not at all discouraged, but hope for better
luck next time. The fact has just been dis
closed that the junior eight's boat was full
Of water to the slides, which necessarily
was draw back to their work, The crew
do not claim that they could have won, but
do claim that it prevented their making q
better showing.
The pair-oared Terror was out during the
week, moving wen with Hecox and Luns-
ford.

Tomorrow morning Prof John Cross
ley will leave this city for East Orange,
y. J., his new field of labor.
His departure from here is regretted
by every member Of the club, and hundreds
of his friends out Of the club, for he has en-
deared himself to every one by his plea sing
and genial manner, and at all times quiet
department His going viii prove a great
loss TO the club for in the six years and over
that he has been its physical instructor he
has developed many excellent athletes,
gymnasts and acrobats, all reflecting
credit upon their instructor, and by their
work have drawn the attention OF ne ath-
letic world to the club.
The regret is mutual for Crossley has
become much attached to the club and its
members, but in these days when its the
rule more than ever to look out for No.
l he naturally had to waive sentiment and
go whence came a fIattering offer and a
betterment materially of condition. There
Will always be a warm place in the
hearts Of the G. A. c. members for John
Crossley.
He goes to become the instructor of the
Orange Athletics Club, one OF the strongest
and most conservative, as well as wealth

also have ladies' and boys gymnasium
classes, which will be made features From
all indications he will have a cordial re-
ception TO his new field of labor where,
as one of the best of instructors any gym

roUndings.
The football and baseball teams of the
Orange Club are widely known as very
strong ones, Prof CrossIey will have a
charge of their training, but not as their
