In order to promote the inteest In anna
teur rowing, a prominent citizen OF Sara
toga has Offered cup for an international
four roared senior race, one mile md a half

design, and is much admired. On one side

OF mile long. Buoys with flags upon
them mark the start an finish, and at dis
tances OF an eighth OF a mile apart mark
out six lanes for the boats, SO there may
be no interference by one crew with an
other. These lanes are 100 feet wide at
the starting line, and are so feet wide
lat the other end, where turn must be
made.
All OF the races will be a mile and a half
with turn, excepting those for eight
cared crews, which will be a mile and a
half straightway, on account Of the dif-
-ficulty Of turning an eight-oared boat.
The turning races let everyone have a
chance to see both the start and the fin
ish from the same place, and obviate the
use Of steamboats,, which are usually q
source of annoyance AMI danger

Some of the most exciting races ever
witnessed in this country, by some of the
fastest crews, have been rowed in this as

The main support which the National As
sociaton receives in it's entries of oarsmen
is furnished by the several minor organiza-
tons throughout the country, and it is the
winners in these associations whose re-

the season, who meet in a grand struggle

THE COMPETITORS.
The best kpo wn, perhaps, are the Harlem
Regatta Association, the Middle States
Regatta Association, the Passaic River
Amateur Rowing Association OF Newark,
the Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia, the
New England Amateur Rowing Associa-
ton, the Mississippi Valley Amateur Ro W.
ing Association, and the North western Anna
teur Rowing Association. The races OF
these associations are contested under the,
rules Of the National Association, and from
the officers of these associations rhe execu-
tive board of the national is generally
formed.
The contests in these associations are as
keen in rivalry as those of the national,
and 1t is oftentimes said that they equal
the parent organization: There is but one
series OF championship races, however,
and that is given by the association. A
winner at the national regatta has always
been acknowledged as the champion Of the
season, and his prizes are SO Inscribed
The Saratoga Lake course Is one of the
best in the country. The lake itself is
about nine miles long and three miles
across its widest part. The course is sit
uatd at the extreme northern end, and is
well sheltered from the wind, the shore
being high and wooded along its entire
length. There is nothing to interfere with
the view, and eveey race can be seen from
start to finish.

Z. Argument was concluded today at 3al-
timore before Judge Stump in u case that
interests all wheelmen. The town OF
Easton imposed a corporation tax of 81
year on bicycles, and the whee1men
have appealed to the court.
They refuse to pay on the ground that
the town ordinance is Illegal, because the
commissioners had no authority to pass
1t. The corporation counsel claims that
the ordinance, while not directly author.
lied By statute, is a police reguia ton
within the scope of the general powers
and purposes OF corporation. A decision
will not be rendered until Move mber,
when an appeal will be taken By the
loser to the court of appeals.
