from the missionaries of the QulnSlga-
mond international regatta who went
to Boston to finish the work begun the
day previous by P. H. Hurley and L.
e. Ware. Whether John H. Meagher
succeeded in securing the entry of the
Delaware Boat Club double in the
double SOULS at the regatta at the lake
next week, wasn't known by any mem
Der of the committee of management
last evening. Members of the commit
tee say, however, that they don't ex-
pect the entry. Secretary Ware told
The Spy man yesterdaythat the chances
are against the Delaware double enter
ing. He also said no four-oared shell
crew could be secured, which means
that both events will be crossed off the
program for the races at the lake.
The failure of those events to fiji will
not detract from the success of the re-
gatta, so members of the committee on
management say. In fact, one who
has been closely identified with the
work Of arrangements said yesterday
he hoped no four-oared crew would be
obtained, and he would not be partie-
ularly disappointed if no double en-

been made out without taking those
events into consideration guarantees
two days of good racing, provided the
other entries make their appearance
and take part in the races. Another
reason why he would not be displeased
| if the events fail to fill, is a monetary
one. He said the public subscription
has not panned out as well as hoped
for because many men who promised

promises. The amount of money which
the committee of management has on
hand at present is just about large
enough to guarantee carrying out the
regatta on plans as laid out now
| The drawings for heats in the re-
gatta is carefully guarded by the COM
mittee, but its members say there win

While the committee Will not revea
much information concerning the con

outcome of the intermediate singles al

he does not get placed in the inferno
date on the Charles, ne would then be
eligible to compete in a Junior race
His reason for agreeing to compete al
the Quinsigamond is that he is willing
to do all he can to assist in the sue
cess of the regatta, and his competition
is greatly desired on account of the in
tense local rivalry between him and
| Lewis.
The entrance fee of Joe Mcguire has
been paid to the committee, but the lat
ter entertains fears Mcguire will not

The eight-oared race will be a star
event. The contesting crews are the
Pennsylvania Barge Club crew. which
won the championship in Philadelphia
and the Knickerbocker which intends
to win all future Championships, con-
summating in the big races at Paris
next year.
The board Of trade members, who
have taken as much interest in the sue
cess of the regatta as the members of
the board of governors, have secured
the agreement of owners of stores that
close Friday afternoon to change the
date of closing to Tuesday afternoon,
the last day of the regatta. And in adj
dition, the board of trade men have Sc
cured the signatures of scores of prom
inent business men to close Tuesday
afternoon A petition was sent around
by prominent members of the board of
trade and was signed wherever present.
ed. The men in charge of the petition
did not have as much time at their dis
posal as they would wish for, and could
not bring it to the attention of every
dealer. But the general understanding
throughout the city, as they learned, is
that those who did not get chance to
sign the petition will do as the owners
of the bigger stores have done, and
Tuesday afternoon VIII be a general
holiday. Among those who have signed
the petition and will close their stores
Tuesday afternoon are the following
