THE BOAT CREWS AT WORK.
Efforts to Place the Potomac Club n
the Head of the List.

Since warm weather set in, there has
been an increase in the interest in aquatic
affairs among the members of the Poto-
mac Boat Club. Every day sees 4 large
number at the clubhouse. at the foot Of
Thirty-first Street. The interior of the
Courthouse is to be thoroughly overhauled
at an early date, and the exterior win re-
ceiye new coat of paint
Next Wednesday evening the annual
election of officers OF the club will take
place and at that time plans for the sea
son will be outlined.
In the meantime the junior crew has be-
gun active training. The following mem
bers of the club, who occupied seats in
the junior boat last year. have again put
in an appearance: Barber, No. /: Herman,
No. 2; Roland, No. 3; Winship. No. 4;
MCGOWAN. No. 8; Coburn, No. G; Lowe,
No. I; and May, stroke In addition to
these old oarsmen, there are a number of
candidates for places in the boat. The
material is uniformly good.
Among those who have already reported
to Captain May az Lynch, Smell, Swan,
Reddington, Jones, Lattener. and Walker.
Each afternoon the crew takes a spin
up the river and it is expected will round
into shape rapidly.
The junior crew will enter the inter-
mediate races i'll the regatta which VIII
be held under the auspices of the Harlem
River Association on that stream during
the summer. The Junior crew OF the PO-
tomac Boat Club showed up exceedingly
well in the regatta there last year, finish
ing second In a feet of five. 1t was beat
en- but Il short distance by the famous
Dauntiess crew of New York, which
will be entered in the international races
at Henley during the coming season. With
the added experience acquired this year.
il is hoped that the Potomac crew will
come home victors from their fight at
Harlem.
AS a part of the preparation for that re-
gatta. it is planned to hold a regatta on
the Potomac on June s. That Is the date
Of the Georgetown sesqui-centcnnial cere-
monies, and the regatta would form an
attractive feature of the exercises. Ar
for this occasion Will be made
at the meeting OF the club next week.
IL is desired by the members of the vari-
Gus crews. and, In fact, all members of
the club, that the services Of a profess
sional coach be secured this year. Lack
OF funds seems TO be the only hindrance
to such an acquisition, but this impedi-
mont is large. one. 1t is expected that
the difficulty will be overcome soon, how

Troubled by Little Thinga

The Quaker spirit, at its best, IL the
spirit Of truth, righteousness and ALL
embracing charity; but sometimes
Quakers, like other people, make too
much OF little things. thereby becom-
ing. what they loathe, Journalists. The
Church Standard tells two anecdotes
illustrating this tendency. In the days
when Friends were accustomed to wear
cooked hats turned up at the sides, n
good Friend bought a hat Of this de-
scription, without noticing that 1t was
looped up with a button. He sat n
day in meeting, when he noticed some
looks Of curious displeasure. Taking
of his hat, he saw the reason for the
looks, and then rose and said. Friends,
IL religion consists in a button, I
wouldn't give a button for it," His
sermon was at least understood. A
somewhat similar story IL told Of an
influential Friend who, on his way to
meeting, was caught in a drenching
rain, and borrowed q neighbours coat.
He seated himself opposite to Jacob
Lindley, who was SO much disturbed
by the glittering buttons that "his
meeting did him no good" When the
congregation rose to depart, he felt
constrained to go up to the Friend who
had so much troubled him and inquire
why he had so grievously departed
from the simplicity enjoined upon
members Of their society. The good
mar looked down upon his garment,
and quietly replied, II borrowed the
coat because my WI was wet. and In
deed, Jacob, / did not notice what but
tons were on it." Jacob shook his
hand warmly, and said, Thou art .
better Christian than 1 am, and I will
learn Of thee" Jacob was right. He
had been paying too much attention
to the mint, anise and cummin" OF
Quaker tradition.

locality in Aurora county is a verltaple
r~attlesnakes' den, the only n of the

wide berth. Young Donegan was en-
gagged all season in herding cattle near
the rattlesnaka den, ard, when oppor-
tunity offered, he waged war against
the venomous reptiles. The result was
that during the season he killed a total
of 241 r~attlesnakes. AS the township
authorities pay a bounty of Is cents for
each of the rattles the young lad added
over $50 to his summers earnings from
