The annual regatta Of the Analostan
Boat Club was held yesterday evening
IN front OF the clubhouse. at the foot

W. 70 determine whether or not the
-AhdlOsJan Juniors were good enough 10
contend for first prize at the Peoples
regatta, in Philadelphia. on July 4 The
showing made By the junior crew was
hiUch better than was expected by the
cluD members. The Potomac Boat Club
elght, composed OF the select rpeu OF
S Slle 9Isdnlzzatlon, won by only Two
lengJhs- The Potomac crew this sea-
son Is estimated to be faster than that
o. last year, which was second in the
Aiqdle States regatta. and the Ana
lpstan Juniors are thought to have a
cnance 70 finish either one. two or
three In the races IN the Quaker City.
Start Was Bad.
The start was bad for both crews, the
Potomacs getting a trihe the better OF
IT, Until the half-mile post was reached
the POtOmacs maintained a lead OF a
length but they increased il another
nal1 length on nearing the three-quar-
tiers, and pulled up another half at the
finish
The junior Fights OF both the Analos-
tans and the POtOmacs expect 10 con-
account the junior crews OF each club,
which VIII participate at the Quaker
City on Independence Day We're not per-
mitted TO meet. as the vanquished crew
would not enter the race. Thus the
mixed eight OF the POtOmacs was pitted
against the Analostan freshmen.
Junior for Philadelphia.
The junior eight Of the Potomacs has
regularly beaten the senior crew in prac-
tice spins, and it is yet 10 be determined
which is the superior crew, the Analos-
tan juniors or the Potomac juniors
Thus they viii both 90 in the Peoples
regatta with the expectation Of defeat
ing each other There are only two
junior crews which they have 10 defeat
70 win the championship unless some
body springs a surprise
The showing of the AnalOstans was
undoubtedly the best OF any crew in the
career OF the club considering the
weight OF the men, The eight which rep
resented the AnalOstans weighed only
10 pounds per man. while the POtomacS
averaged 10 pounds This : truly
creditable showing for such . light
crew. although the POtOmacs could have
won by half a length more had they
tried hard enough

The upset contest proved one OF the
most unique and interesting races Of
the day. il required about twice as long
q : usual to upset one OF the cOnteSting
doubles. and IL was only after twenty
minutes of hard fighting that H Gibson,
with r. II. Weightm0n at the car,
upset W. Searle and Carleton Fox
