 The regatta committee held meeting in this city on Wednesday and discussed

Though the University Boat ing Association has boat house and some good boats, little interest IS taken in rowing at Berkeley.

 The South Ends will enter senior and junior crew certainly, and probably an in- termedate one as well, at the champion ship regatta. J. Foley will be in the senior shell race and R. McArthur in the junior shell. V. Roster and J. Lyons will represent the club in the junior skifT event As the cyclists have a representa-, tive among the Justices of the Peace, Al Fritz thinks the oarsmen ought to be rep resented also. The club has appointed committee to procure new barge. The contract may be made at an early date, but the barge will probably not be ready for use until next season.
 The Tritons have now joined the Paci- fic Athletic Association, their delegates Schimpf; the last is on the regatta som mittee. The club is prosperilg, and will have it's barges and skiffs put into racing trim. B. conn anu J. Wuo ID d candidate for membership, will practice. in skiffs. The club intends to come out of its shell and to engage more actively In skiff and barge rowing than it has hith- erto done

 place on the Dolphin Clubs ladies day, to be held on October 30. One of the events on that day will be special 10O- yard match swimming race between E. H. Coney and J. s. Earls.

 rell, No. B. and T. J. Kennedy, stroke, will
 row three-quarters of mile against the | intermediate barge crew, the latter using | the new boat. The intermediate crew IS practicing two or three times week. The | new oars which they are using are lighter l than those they have hitherto had, and | the men are not yet quite accustomed to | them.
 The visit of the San Francisco oarsmen
 to Astoria will probably result in the | formation of a rowing club there. The
 new club proposes to buy the boats of the Willamette Rowing Club, which are for
 sale, that club having gone out of exist
