VIRGINIA BOAT-CLUB BREEzER.
Formal Opening of the SeasOn-Pians
for a Regatta.

In accordance with time-honored GUS
tom, the Virginia Boat Club threw open
the doors of its hospitable home yester-
day afternoon and invited its friends to
celebrate the dawning season with a
"breezer," d technical term in boating
lore for a royal reception. Ever since
the club was organized the first Satur-
day in April has been set apart as the
birthday Of the boating season. 1t Is
celebrated in an informal and delightful
way, and Is looked forward TO longingly
and expectantly by the select coterie that
enjoys the entree to the pleasant quar-
tiers of the organization.
From o'clock until 1880 the visitors
came and went, though during the earlier
hours the crowd was not as large as it
was later, the baseball game being the
loadstone that attracted many of the
sp0rtsmen.
The clubhouse has been swept and
garnished. and the boats and equipment
are all in splendid shape. The large
yacht stands at the landingstage, very
imposing in a coat of black paint the
hghtng-color of these United States, and
a harbnger Of the desperate struggles
in which the club proposes TO engage this
season with the clubs of Washington and
Philadelphia, and on its own reach
The river was very high, and the cur
rent correspondingly swift thus pre-
GLIDING all possibility of a preliminary
spin. but the time was happily passed
i'm a flood Of small talk, with incidental
refreshments.
The club men propose 10 get down to
hard work at once and many Of them
viii 20 into training for the annual re-
gatta. which is to be held this year on
Saturday. June 4th. The club has out
lived all of its opponents in Virginia,
and is the holder Of the State Challenge
Cup. The members are very anxious 10
pit themselves against some other club
or clubs in battle royal for this proud
trophy, but at present they enjoy the
distinction Of being the only boat club
IN the State, and the cup cannot be COM
peted for by any foreign organization.
Their desire for competition has led the
Executive Committee to form plans
which will be carried into execution, TO
send crews 20 the Schuylkill and WASH
ineton regattas 70 represent the Old Do
mniOn.
The club has eighty-two members at the
present time and expects 10 reach the
century limit at an early date. Flnan-
cialy, It is in splendid condition and
the members are all fairly enthusiastic
over the prospects Of the season.

nation.
Flowers will be in demand as much this
Eastertide as heretofore. Every girl
will wish to wear some bright blossom
next Sunday morn when she steps out
in her becoming new Easter dress. The
florists will do a large business this week,
and many orders have already teen re-
ceived from out-of-town customers.
American Beauty roses will sell for from
s. TO 81 per dozen; La France roses from
50 to IS per dozen. Easter lilies. which
will be much in demand, will command
from 81 to $3.50 per dozen, and lilies of
the valley 81 per dozen. The latter will
perhaps be the most popular flower for
Easter, and a well-known florist says
more Of them will be worn than any
other 1t is about too late for violets,
and they will be scarce.
