POTOMAC BOAT CLUB.
The Potomac Boat Club is, unfortu-
nately, showing least activity OF any OF
the local boat clubs. This state OF at
fairs is owing to the lack OF sufficient
rowing material from which to get out
crews, and many reasons are given for
this, but there is only one real cause.
Capt. Nolan has worked diligently to
get out crews, but has met with little
success.

ANALOsTAN BOAT CLUB.
The Analostan Boat Club is keeping up
its good work Of getting out several crews

good material at hand that lie Will have
little trouble OF getting out enough 1ast
crews to make entries in the Potomae

light. weight fours, and in the intermediate
cights.
The makeup Of the crews for the big
regatta has not yet been decided upon,
but q note can be made right here that
the A. B. c will be well up In front on
that day in at least three events.
The gig crew, which was defeated in

fully satisfied with the. result, and Will
probably challenge the. winners at an

Facts About Whisky.

Anyone VINO has studied the subject can
tell you that good whisky is an excellent
appetizer and tonic, and when properly
used will not have any bad effect on the
system. The trouble is that most WHISTLES
are not properly distilled and contain I'M
purties and deleterious oils, that should
not be in the refined spirit. Pure Berkeley
Rye, which Is obtainable from James
Tharp, importer OF wines and liquors,
S13 F street northwest, is. n brand that
can be entirely relied upon for absolute
purity. 1t also has the advantage OF being
OF unusually fine flavor.
