The Leading Feature of the
First Days sProgramof En-
tertainment in Honor of
the @. A. R. Visitors Was
Enjoyed by LargeCrowds
Local Oarsmen Distinguish
Themselves in the several
Contests in Which Out
of-Town Crews Were
Heraided as Unbeatable.

The regatta held yesterday afternoon
on the upper course of the Potomac, uu-
der the auspices of the Potomac River
Regatta Association, will go down IA
local aquatic history as enc CT the best
ever held in this section of the country
Not only in point of number of entries,
but in quality as well was it remark
able affair. 1t is late in the season. and
big entries were hardly to- be expected
In Philadelphia and New York crews
ordinarily go out of training and. stop
rowing right after Labor Day regattas,
and as most of the contesting scullers
and crews came from the cities named
their keeping up the work so late in
order to como here cannot be considered
otherwise than as a compliment to the
local clubs. as we'll as to Messrs. J.
Hadley Doyle and c.. r. Zappone.
through whose untiring efforts the crews
we're brought here and whose work for
the regatta resulted in such brilliant
success.
A G. A. r. Feature.
The regatta was the leading feature OF
the first days program of entertainment
in honor Of the visitors to the G. A. 4.
encampment, and that it was appre-
ciated WAS evidenced by the thousands
of visitors who lined the Aqueduct
Bridge and the wharves and shipping
in the vicinity. The Potomac and
Ceorretown University lighthouses were
filled from float to cupola with friends
of the oarsmeE and admirers OF the
sport. and not the least enthusiastic oi
the great crowd were the hundreds oil
ladies present.
The weather and water conditions
were almost perfect for the great sport,
and as a result a number of the events,
in which there were strong crews, were
20 hotly contested that winners were
measured by feet, and not lengths, as
ordinarily.
One of the features of the event wss
the presence of the torpedo boat Tai
bot, which. by the courtesy of the Sec
rotary of the Navy. was sent here to be
used by the referee and other officials.
The novel craft was the object Of the
wonder and admiration of the visitors.
The Georgetown launch Tyro, was the
press boat, and for the generous hos
pitality and courtesies of Manager of
Athletics NJ ]. Thompson. who was in
charge of the feet craft, the scribes are
indebted.
Potomacs Won Three Races.
OF the eleven events contested three
went to the Potomacs. of this city: The
Junior eight. junior single, and junior
double, and the rest went out of town.
The Post cup was won by the Yes
per intermediate eight: the Star was
won by the Pennsylvania Barge Club

to the Ariel Junior four. and is now
their permanent property. and the hand
some Castelberg cup was won by Poto-
macs junior eight. Each winning
sculler and oarsman received gold
medal, of Robert Stoll's handsome de-
sign. and to the winning club went a
silken banner.

the people of this country opposed the peculiar ten

method of breaking up Mormon meeting by shooting
23-cabre bullet into congregation. 1t was tried at
place known Davis Chapel and resulted in the severe
woundng of and throwing the congregation into
panic If the spread of Mornonism not be
checked except by the bullet had better be allowed to
spread Between Mcrmonsm and mob law the country
will choose Mormonsm every time.
The FL Paso Times adds to this: "out here on the

Mormons and we find many things in their every day
life worthy emulation. Sobriety and industry two
