continue on the stage for several months

ASSOCIATION
REFUSES TO CHANGE DATE
Henley Regatta to Be ROWed
on July 2, as Announced.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 4-Rcgardless
Of the arrangements for other regattas
to be held on the sehuyIkiII, the Amer
lean Henley will be rowed on July 2 The
board of stewards Of the American Row
ing Association has not only refused to
change the date originally set for the
regatta, but has announced that no fur
Their consideration will be given to any
proposition for a change Of date.
This is the uItimatum of the board of
stewards as promulgated in the follow
ing statement given out last evening:
1T vas Officially announced by the
board OF stewards Of the American re-
gatta that the date Of the regatta wouIa
remain as announced-JuIy ?. and tina;
nothing further would be done in regard
TO the matter Of changing the date. The
discussion in regard to change in she
date arose on account OF the proximity
OF the Peoples Regatta. on July 1. and
the probable selection OF July 10 and i
for the holding Of the National Regatta
in Philadelphia"
It was said last night that the ar
n0uncement was the result Of mail
vote taken since the meeting Of the
board in this city last Saturday. Tho
decision viii be a surprise to all men
who are Interested in the promotion Of
rowing as a sport. With Philadelphia
/ likely to get the National Regatta Oh
/ July 10 and II, it was regarded as GER
/ tain that the board of stewards would
/ take advantage of the opportunity tr
add to the success Of the American
Henley" by making it the leading at
traction in a great rowing carnival dur
I ing the week beginning July 4.
/ It is evident from the action taken by
+ the stewards that they intend making
their regatta as exclusive an affair as
the English Henley. and viii consider
only the interests of the American Hen,
/ ley rather than the success Of rowing
+ in general.
/ As the stewards do not offer any ex-
/ PLANTATION Of their refusal to change the
date OF the regatta II may be inferred
that they think none is necessary. This
! is only another evidence Of the fact that
/ the American Association is in the feIC
( for itself. and not for the benefit 0,

clined. Their last proposition. which
was made yesterday, was S35, 900. This
was also refused
Judging from what Durnell said today
he viii never part with McChesney, as
It was the son OF MacDuff who placed
him en- his feet after having become
embarrassed recently. The other rea-
sons why McChesney viii not be sold
is that Durneu, who was ruled off the
French turf, will be reinstated this year
by the French Jockey Club and granted a
trainers license. Tbs viii permit Nc
Chesney to race on the New York tracks
after the Washington Park meeting.
Then again MacDuf, McChesney's sire.
