FAIRNESS TO THE CREWS AND THE COMFORT OF
THE VISITORS POINT TO THE SELECTION OF
THE LAKE COURSE FOR THE REGATTA
Saratoga still continues TO gain In favor with
oarsmcn and with people who are interested In the
coming college regatta. With the exception OF
some Columbia men and the people who care more
for show than they do for a clear course and no
danger from crowding excursion boats there seems
70 be no oppoytlon to the lake course. The arsu-
ment In favor Of Poughkeeps.e which one hears
the most is that It will cost less to go there and
see the than II Will TO go to Saratoga. There
Il no doubt about that but many OF thoee who
went to Poughkeepsie to the last college race were
so dlsgusted with the condition OF affairs there.
the accommodations for the visitors were so poor
and seeing the race was connected with much
difficulty that they would be willing to pay
tr.hc more for transportation and see the race
at Saratoga. where the presence OF a large crowd
OF people Is nothing unusual and where ample
provision for entertainment can always be found.
That the races will be by many
people from NewYork II they take place ut Sara
toga as II they held the river course Is
another argument which the Poughkeepsie par
tisans advance. In answer to this well-known
oarsman said: THAT may be SO, but those people
who go to Saratoga will racing, and there will
be danger OF any crew being swamped or fouled
by obstructlng craft The college races should be
rowed where there is the least danger. and where
the chances for clear unobstructed course
the greatest. That place Is without doubt Sara
toga. and inasmuch the citizens Of that place
offer many inducements In the way OF reduced
hotel rates. and as the railroad rates to be
low. there should be no question 10 where the
races shall be held"
John l. Ballantyne. Of the Middle States Regatta
the matter would vote for Saratoga viii Without 's any ~
hesitation"
Oarsmen contend that the course at Poughkeepse
is OF such a nature that would have good and
poor positions that one might win and another lose
squabbes and protests might follow where only
good feeling should prevail.
That danger would be averted." an oarsman
