Captain Haight, although skilled oars
woman, seldom pulls with the crew, but has
full charge OF the club, and 1t is 10 her efforts
and persistency in drilling her crew that she
has secured for it first place in drill work. On
the Fourth of July, 1896, the club was
awarded the prizes tor the best-drilled crew.
The prizes are silver pins with the name of
the club on the face and the date on the back.
The club also holds the championship
pennant offered by the gentlemans club
for racing. While 1t is true that the
members have much work to do in drilling,
they feel comp ensation in the enjoyment that
ii brings The exercise is not only pleasant,
but it teaches girls the necessity of presence
of mind, quickness in action, and, above all,
gives them health and strength. During the
summer months the club often has rowing
matinees, to which friends are invited, and IN
the evening barge parties. This Is relief
rom the monotony of drill work and gives
portunity to enjoy some OF the pleasures of
The organ ization. In August the club enjoyed
a weeks outing at La Jolla, here the men,
bers received many words OF commentator
for their proficiency IN swimming. For two
years swimming has been made a special
feature OF club work and any one beco ming
member must become swimmer.
The club holds q business meeting every
month, and the captain is elected annually,
while the other officers are elected every six
months. Miss Jessie Halght, who was the
originator of woman's rowing club, has been
the captain since the organization. The otner
members oil the cub are: Nellie Haignt,
boatsWain; Alys Price, ships writer; Audrie
Blochman treasurer; Hattie Sperry, steward
ess, and Amy Harris and Edith Choate.

nearly six months and in February, 1895, the
ladies secured the use OF the siX-oared barge
owned by the mems rowing club of San Diego.
This boat Is of cedar, 81 feet long and feet
inches wide. 1t has stationary seats, and the
oars are thirteen feet long aud have wide
spoon blades. The club devotes two days of
each week TO rowing, and any member who is
absent from any cause but sickness is fined
10 cents. On Max 80, 1895, the members of
the club distinguished themselves by pulling
across the bay of San Diego and into the ocean
as far as the canbuoy anu back. The distance,
fifteen miles, was made in four and half
hours, including half an hours rest. This
pull took the record tor long-distance rowing by
young women. Since then the club has made
the trip several times and it frequently
rows TO Ballast Point, distance OF
six miles, with from twelve 10 six
teen persons In the boat, and thinks
nothing OF the pull. The members of the
club have practiced long, swinging stroke
for long-distance pulling, and they find that
they can row long time that way without
firing. The club colors are blue and white.
The crew wear blue caps with the word

wide sailor collars trimmed with white
stripes, and the blue skirts they wear reach to

The number of physical wrecks resulting

physicians have little if any benefit. DIR.

specific, it cures every case. A recent i'm
stance coming to our notice, is that of Joseph
