al the coming annual regatta of the
National Association of Amateur Oars

costliest trophies ever put up for COM

scented by Richard K. Fox of New

crews eligible to row for it is intense in
the extreme.
The trophy is almost two feet and a

of an oarsman, beautifully modelled and

oarsman, posed. In one hand he holds
