 With regard to R. McArthur. a mem Der of the South End barge crew that will row against the Alamedas at the Astoria regatta on the 18th, 20th and 22d, 1t was suggested that the race will be In the nature of an exhibition, that there wlIl be no gate receipts and no individual prizes, and that in such an event anna teurs may row against professionals with out forfeiting their amateur standing. Each oarsman, to protect his standing in the Amateur Athletic Union. has been instructed to lodge formal protest against the inclusion of McArthur in the South End crew with the referee of the Astoria regatta. The chairman thought that McArthur ought to be suspended until the Registration Commissioner shall have passed upon his case. It was stated that the Astoria regatta will be held un- der the auspices of the National Associa- tion of Amateur Oarsmen, an afnltated body of the Amateur Athletic Union; that the Alameda crew are members or that as- sociation. and that the South Ends have applied for membership. Ultimately the case of McArthur was referred to the Registration Commissioner, who has large discretionary powers in such cases.
 A junior oarSman or Sculler was defined to be one who has never won race, an intermediate oarsman or Sculler, one who has won a junior race, but has never won an intermediate or senior event: and a senior oarsman or sculler one who has won an intermediate or senior event.
 The annual meeting of the Pacific Ath- letic Association will be held on the third Monday in September at the rooms of the Reliance Athletic Club, Oakland.
