WILL ROW AT NEW YORK.
National Association Regatta to Be
Held the Harlem.


Held on the Harlem.
At the annual meeting of the executive
committee of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen in New York Saturday
night it was decided that the next regatta
should be rowed on the Harlem at New
York city. The winners will be sent to
Paris to compete in the regatta at the ex-
position in August.
Boston made strong bid for the regat-
ia, but the New York delegation pointed
out that the regatta had not been held in
New York In the past twenty-eight years,
while number of other cities had had it
repeatedly. In addition, New York offered
more money than any of the others for the
purpose of defraying the expenses of the
winners to the Paris exposition, promising
not less than 5000.
The races will take place on the Harlem
river, along the speedway The crews that
Will be sent to Paris will consist of one
senior single Scull, one four and one eight
and Secretary Fred Fortmeyer, who will
manage the affairs of the oarsmen.
On account of the straightaway course on
the Harlem, it was decided that the rule
calling for race with a turn should be
suspended this year.
1t was decided TO drop the race known
as the international four-onrea race from
the list of events.
In the twenty-eight years of the existence
of the N. A. A. o. the organization has
given New York the go-by. The following
cities have been favored: Philadelphia has
held five national regattas; Troy. 2: De-
