Mr.. Harvey is the contractor who re-
moved the grandstand and bleachers
from American League Park and erect
ed them at Seventh Street. He was
never paid for his trouble. and he took
this means OF getting his remuneration,
and says he will continue to attach the
receipts of the Washington club until
he has collected $4,000. which he claims
is due him under the terms Of the con-
tract. Mr.. Hanvey's deputies were not
satisfied with coping the Washington
clubs share of the money taken in at
the gates. but also deprived the safe of
its contents.
The local syndicate which controls a
majority Of the stock in the club. or
rather is said to control the better part
Of it, is in anything but a pleasant mood.
Several of its members were interviewed
by Times man this morning. and they
all had their axes out for Ban Johnson.

The local pcrsons Interested in tho
club say they are in no way to blame.
The contract was between Ban Johnson
and Frank L. Harvey, the former

these parties between March 13 and Is.

withdrawn. 1t is almost certain that
Cornell wiz not row. while the appear
ance OF Yale is not likely.
The local stewards OF the regatta are
not at all disheartened on account of
the sparity of college crews. but believe
that poor regatta this year will really
do more for the association than any
other thing that might happen. On the
board OF stewards are men who repre-
sent the rowing interests Of all the big
universities and they can induce the
crews TO row II they viii work. which
so far they have failed to do.
Argonauts Out of It.
All Of the races are pretty well filed
and there should be good contests III
every event. There will be no Western
entries on account Of the st. Louis Re
gatta- The local entries are numerous
and OF come ability. and there will be
enough foreign crews TO keep up the
interest
In the race for the Stewards Cup there
will be only two eights-the Vespers and
the Union Boat Club, of Boston. The
latter eight is made UP OF old Harvard
men, but last year their crew had no
form and l:ttle speed. The present h0id-
ers OF the cup are the Argonauts, who
will not compete this year.
