electric car. 1t always a good boat,
and about two hundred dollars expended on
it will make it almost as good as new. and
it is sorely needed by the crews now ing
selected.
A crew which has taken several slins
lately in the old eight, and moved along
in good shape had Hecox. stroke Hunter.

WIFI 3; Eaton, 2; Rowland. l, with
Johnston, ccxswain.
Alexander fs one OF the new men, big
and strong and handles himself well. He
will make a good waist man.
Another very promising man is young
Eaton-well built and strong; brother
of Yolney Eaton, who so long was a power
in the big four
Rowland is one of the recruits from the
Corcoran Cadets. He is showing up well;
doing good work at No. 3 seat.
Fowler is one of last years clever
sweeps, who at No. 3 gave great promise.
TaIlmadge is another of last years crew.
who is regularly on hand and doing good
work
''Midge" Ross has forsaken the cox
swain's seat for the sweep" and promises
to do as well in this line as he has al
ways done in other departments of ath-
leties. 7.-
Young Johnston is doing we'll in the
coxswain,s seat, and lcoAs like a permanent

Macy is new man in the shells and gives
considerable promise. II he proves half
as clever at rowing as he has long shown

at an early day announce the first of
series of club regattas.
Pleasure rowing has grown so popular

| If good boats can be found they will be
| purchased and added to the already large
stock. Some of the pleasure boats are very
fast and at least three have their regular
crews preparing for the pleasure craft race
in the coming club regatta.
y. VI. c. A. Athletes.
| The gymnasium of the Young Mems
Christian Association is fairly bristling
with echoes of the Decoration Day run
from Baltimore to Gunpowder River and
return and Captain Holton is besieged with
requests for an early repetition of the
outing.
In the meantime preparations are being
made for the opening of the bicycle barn
and evening parade on June 10. For the
latter event all the local bicycle clubs have
been invited and several have already ac-
cepted and will help make 1t a big affair.
The Baltimore and Philadelphia Y. M. C.
A will be here and assist in making the
| occasion great success.
The Gunpowder run developed the fact
that there are number of good road rid
ers in the ranks and although the pace
was a warm one many found 1t imposst-
BILE to restrain themselves from setting
pace. Then the road was so fine that 1t
is little wonder some were tempted to
sprint. ]. B. Craighill, George Beall, G.
E. Bailey, Fay Temple. and r. T. Smith
put in good FIVE miles at clipping pace
and finished in good condition.
Harry Green has been so busy with his
exams" the cast week that his pole vault
practice has been temporarily given up.
He will profit by the rest, and add an inch
or two when he goes at it again.

The first outdoor games to be given by
the association, at whatever date, will be
in the nature of Pentathlon, where all en-.
trants must compete in all events of the
programme and points scored for re-
suits in every event. This is an old Y. NJ
