ROW ING.

The preparations for the coming Potomac
river regatta are being pushed forward
rapidly The committees Of the local clubs
are working with a WILL and can be count
ed upon to DO anything tow ard making the
event this year me OF the most notable
ever held in the city. The committees have
held number OF joint mec tir Es and have
been busy arranging de- ais for the COM
ing event.
Outside OF the regatta the greatest under
taking on hand for the joint committee is
the excursion which will be held on the
evening of July -, to the green lawns of
Marshall Hall. Tho regatta will follow ten
days later, and il is hoped to raise more
than sufficient money out of the excursion
to pay for all of the expenses incurred in
arranging for the aquatic sports.
The committee of the joint committee
which will have charge of ali the details
of the excursion viii be MesaTs Franklin
Moore, representing the AnalCstan Boat
Club; Charles A. Baker, representing the
Cot mbfa Athletic Club, and O. p. Schmidt,
representing the Potomac Beat Club. Only
one trip will be made. and in view of the
fact that the excursion precedes the re-
gatta, the affair will he libeI ally patron
lied by the Washington people, thereby
helping to make The regatta a successful
affair.
The entry blanks for the various race.
will be out early next week. The events
Will embrace a one-mile race for Junior
and intermediate Fights. Heretofore the
Instance LOT lneSe races mas been a mile
and half, which necessitated a turn to
complete the course. By adopting a mile
course the turn is avoided ard gives
straightaway distance. The other races Will
be over a mile and a mile and a half. and
will consist OF Junior and senior tours,
lightweight fours AMI Junior SOULS. The
prizes will be a silk flag to the winning
crew in each evedt, and geld medals to
the members of the crews, in addition to
the permanent trophies which are raced
for every year. The Evening Star cup for
senior tours is nov held by the Fhiladel-
phis Barge Club, who won 1t last year, and
that club is expected to send crew on
to defend the trophy. The Post cup for
the intermediate eight was won last year
by the Baltimore Athletic Club. and this
organization is prepared to fight for the
prize for anothsr years possession. The
Aerials of Baltimore hold the Mason cup,
their Junior four crew winning it last year
from the Analostans. The year before the

TOMORROW's BALTIMORE TRIP.
1t Promises to BE Great Occasion
for Both Cities.

1t Promises to he n Great Occasion
for Both Cities.
All arrangements for the Baltimore trip
of the United Wheelmen have been made,
and tomorrow morning at 9:1O o'clock a
special train will pull out of the Baltimore
and Ohio station with a crowd of several
hundred merry cyclists of both sexes on
board. Rain only will prevent the trip,
though It is hardly probable that a slight
shower will have any effect, and in the
even of a postponement the tickets both
for the railroad and the meal will be good
on the following Sunday. The details of
the trip have been fully published in The
Star.
All the visitors are cautioned to carry
their lamps and bells. Even though they
may be of no service In Baltimore, they
may come in good use on the return to
Washington. 1t is also suggested that
each rider carry repair kit.
There has been quite rush for tickets
during the past two days. The sale will
close at o'clock this evening. Under no
circumstances will tickets be sold at the
depot tomorrow morning.
The reception at the Baltimore end Of the
line will be hearty one, and fully 200
come. All Of the clubs of Baltimore have
called runs to Long Branch Park for the
day, and the assemblage Of wheelmen will
be the largest ever seen in Baltimore for
years. Souvenirs for the occasion will be
given to everybody on board the special
train. The clubs will have banners and
other emblems. The Queer Wheelmen will
carry 100 pennants flying from a small staff
fastened to the front of the wheels. The
Columbia Athletic Club will have banners
for the first and second lieutenants and
all of the members will have special
badges. The Washington Road Club will
carry Its banner. and. in fact. all of the
clubs will be represented by emblems Of
some sort.
