NEW HOME FOR PoToMAcs.
The Members Of the Club Support the
Board Of Governors.

The Potomac Boat Club held one of the
largest meetings in its history last night
and heard report from the board of gov
errors as to the feasibility of obtaining a
new home for the organization. President
John Hadley Doyle thanked the members
for their enthusiasm and then in general
way outlined the policy of the board, stat
ing that it was their unanimous opinion
that new home was necessary, for with
the one now occupied, though the finest of
its kind in America when built in 1860, the
ravage of floods and storms has played
havoc, and it has become shaky and I'M
safe. If the club supported the board in it's
move he was confident that a much more
commodious home would rear its outlines
on the banks of the stream, and would be
ready for occupancy by the middle of next
July. 1t Will cost considerable money to
build such a home. and it was announced
that the first step toward obtaining it
would be an augmented performance at the
Lafayette Square Theater on the evening
of May f. the Berger Stock Company doing
the regular performance, with volunteers
from Washington, Baltimore and Alexan-
dria.
Mr.. Charles G. Warden told of the efforts
to secure piece of property further up the
river. and his failure on account of excess
sive valuation. He stated that it was now
the intention to build on the present site,
which would necesstate an outlay of near
ly $4,000.
The club enthusiastically Endorsed the
project and subscribed for nearly LOCO
| tickets for the show, thereby showing that
the first step is an assured financial sue
cess. Committees on general arrangements
were appointed, with Messrs Zappone, No
Ian. McConville, Eberhart, Sheldon, Stod-
der. Freeman. Todd, Redington, Middleton,
Wilkins, Gasch, VIII Whpple, Odell Whip
Pile. Herman, Hernon. DAILY, Marean. Weav-
err Bradley and the governors of the club.
1t was also stated that it was the inten-
ton of the club to hold big open regatta
on the Potomac next summer, and that the
prospects were that it would eclipse the one
of last year.
