The annual regatta of the Valencia
Boat Club will be rowed tomorrow after
noon over the course at Gutenberg. The
preparations have been under way for
several weeks and the oarsmen are count
ing on a big day. The arrangements have
been in the hands Of Captain Henry
Sc.locke and Henry KHians which is an
assurance of its success. All that the MEM
bers are hoping for is a pleasant, warm
day. In former years the Yalencias have
been rather unfortunate in regard to the
weather, and they nave invariably select
ed a day that has beea chilly and unfa-
vorable. The captain and l~ieutenants have
spent a great deal OF time in the tram
ing of the crews that will oppose each
other-4The club has purchased trophies
which will be a suitable reward for the
greatest effort of the crews in winning
them. They were manufactured by John
Frick, the well-kaown medal manufac-,
turer of New York. They have been on
exhibition in Hoboken and were generally
admired. They are of solid gold, contain
