AMONG THE oARSMEN.

Next Friday and Saturday the annual
regatta Of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen will be held at Worces-
ter. Mass, and this city will be repre-
sented in dual capacity at the affair
In the first place Mr.. Claude R. Zappone.
who Is very active member of the N. A.
A. O.. is also a much more active worker
just now for the regatta of the Middle
States Association here on the Potomac
river on Labor day, and he goes as an
agent to Worcester to lay the claims of
Washington as regatta center before the
officers and crews that will assemble there
There is no better posted man on rowing
in America than Mr.. Zappone, as he keeps
in touch constantly with the doings Of
nearly all the rowing clubs, and hence is
qualified to speak almost authoritatiYely in
matters pertaining thereto.
In speaking of the coming middle states
regatta here on Labor day Mr.. Zappone
stated that he was fully convinced that
the number of clubs that would be repre-
sented. and the number of crews entered
in the various races, would exceed any re-
gatta held under the auspices of any assO-
citation since aquatics became fixture In
America. 5se.R
sT am in daily communication with oars
men and organizations from every section"
said Mr.. Zappone,T land l say advisedly
that the people Of the national capital
have in store for them the grandest carni-
val Of rowing ever witnessed in this world
Why just look atvNew York and Phila-
delphia, there is mo 4eother thought but
Labor day and Washington. and fully be-
heve that every club inithe two great row.
ing centers will have at least one repre-
sentative In the regatta. while many Of
them will have as high as seven or eight
crews in the meet Il never saw or wit
messed such a movement, and the only
thing am worried over now Is to find
places for the thousands Of visitors and
room to house the many racing shells they
will bring with them. It Is great under
taking by the Potomac Regatta Associa-
ton to handle this big regatta. but they
have never failed to get the support of our
citizens when such was necessary"
Mr.. Zappone Is confident 1t would be the
greatest success of the year. AS. stated
above. Mr.. Zappone goes to the national
regatta to work up feeling among the
New England and western clubs for the
Labor day regatta. As has been previous
ly printed, Mr.. William Britt, the leading
sculler OF the Potomac river, will make his
debut in fast company at the Worcester
regatta, appearing In the intermediate
SOULS. He will find opposed to him almost
the pick of the country. but his eliminates
are confident he viii reflect credit on them.
There will also be fron the Potomac Club
Messrs. Hecox and Edmonston in the in
termediate double SOULS, a very likely pair,
and who are rowing fast enough on the
Potomac to venture the opinion that 1t viii
take very. very fast crew to head them
