TITUS to Row at st. Louis.

The former champion oarsman Of
America, Constance S. Titus, is to at
tempt to regain his title at st. Louis,
where the annual regatta Of the N. A.
A. O. will be held in the late summer.
Titus is rowing in rare form, even fast
er, he says, than when he competed at
the Henley regatta, England.
Titus recently gave some valuable
advice to scullers. He said:

George Hayt, Presiding Judge.

George Hayt, Presiding Judge
In the selection Of George Hayt. iof
Binghamton, N. Y, to act as presiding
Judge at all of the grand circuit meet
ings the stewards have made a choice
that is approved not only by the own
ers and trainers, but by the public as
we'll.
Mr.. Hayt is a gentleman Of vast ex-
p~erience in racing, and in many years
active connection with the turf he has
established a reputation for honesty
and knowledge Of turf law second to
none. He is Of a judicial turn of mind,
weighs all matters without prejudice
and with elaboration and can be de-
pended on to fill the difficult position
of presiding judge with absolute i'm
partiality and with fairness to all con-
| cerned. 5G7
Filling a new position in the trotting
world, his acts will naturally be the
object of much criticism during the
first season, but those who know him
best feel that he will admirably meet
all the requirements of the most fnical.
His appointment came in the nature
of a surprise, for his name has hardly
been mentioned by those busily en
gagged in assisting the stewards ever
since it was announced that a profess
sional presiding judge was to act at all
of the grand circuit meetings. Not
withstanding this fact all will agree
that the selection was a happy one.

the coin, but gave him a quarter. say

would come in the way of a present for
