Preparations for the Coming
Potomac River Regatta.
THE ENTRIES EXPECTED
NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA
TO SEND BIG DELEGATION.
Baltimore Boys Also Coming-To-
nights smoker-Coach Dempsey to
Look After Potomacs.

The lull which settled down over local
aqlatics after the Fourth Of July has burst
into activity, and the river Is thronged
evening after evening with the crews train
ing for the Potomac river regatta, now but
three weeks off.
After lot of work and worry circular
letters have been sent out to the leading
business men of the city requesting sub
scriptions. A few returns have already
been received from the clubs loyal friends,
and some prominent citizens have set good
examples, which it is hoped the Washing
ton public will follow.
Invitations and entry blanks have been
sent out to all the club members of the
National Association of Amateur Oarsmen,
and from these also few encouraging let
ters have been received. Some letters of
inquiry have been received from clubs
which were overlooked in the sending of
invitations. Some were omitted in the first
sending because they were not members of
the national association, but now they have
all been supplied with the desired blanks.
Request for Torpedo Boat.
President John Hadley Doyle has made
a request to the Secretary Of the Navy
that a torpedo boat be supplied for the use
of the referee. For several years the Navy
Department has given a torpedo boat to
the club for the day, to be used as the
referees boat. This is not only a great
benefit to the association, but Is an addi-
tiOnal attraction for the regatta.
A letter has also been posted to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor request
ing the usual police harbor patrol.
The contract for the medals has been
given out to the designer and manufacturer
Of the medals of the N. A. A. O., the IAma-
teur Athletic Union and all standard ath-
letic organizations. The design accepted
by the committee in charge resembles some
what those of former years. They will be
made in the fob style-a solid piece Of gold.
with the letters q. r. r. A" across the
top and 1904 around the bottom. In the
center will be the raised figure of an oars
man holding an oar, above which Is the
laurel crown of victory. This was chosen
from large variety of designs and sam
Piles submitted and 1t is thought that 1t
will make beautiful medal.
On the coming Wednesday evening there
will be mass meeting Of the members Of
the aSsociation-more accurately, the club
to settle all the little affairs that are
bound to come up at regatta time. All the
committees will be selected, such the
committee in charge of hotels (for visiting
oarsmen), the reception committees and the
numerous others which must be formed to
make all matters pass along smoothly.

Potomac Club Notes.

The lantern parade Of the Potomacs,
which came off last Saturday, was a de-
cided success, and it was enjoyed greatly
by the hundreds and thousands who viewed
it. The members Of the Potomac club were
greatly pleased that every one should so
heartily cooperate with their plans. The
fine treatment at the hands of the Ana
lostan club was appreciated greatly. AS
the long array of boats drew up abreast to
salute the Analostan club they were greet
ed with beautiful outburst of every kind
of fireworks. This the Analostans kept up
until the Potomacs saluted and gave the
Analostan boys their club call.
This evening there will be a club smoker
at the Potomac boat house, and the men
are all anxious for the time for their favor
ed evening entertainments. A large list
of features has been arranged by Capt
Mueller These smokers have been given
for the benefit Of the regatta, and the club
will not allow the tickets to be sold to any
one but a member of the club. A member
may buy as many as he chooses and give
them to any outsider. but the club in or.

Coach Dempsey Engaged.

After the Potomac club conferred and told
the oarsmen that as 1t was overburdened
with the expenses of the regatta it would
be Impossible for tho club to furnish a
professional coach, the oarsmen did not re-
main long idle. They raised sum OF
money among themselves and then sent a
committee to Coach p. A. Dempsey. His
terms were agreed to, and from now on
until after the regatta he will coach the
crews of the red and white"
The Potomacs still have the intention OF
entering three eight-oared crews in the re-
gatta, and every evening three crews or
more are working under the careful eye
Of Coach Dempsey. Some OF the candt-
dates who are rowing every evening are:
Seniors-Hecox, Edmonston, Foster and
Freeman
Intermediates-Ouran Capt. Mueller.
MCGOWAN, Bocock. Chase, Britt, Herman,
Gordon and MaiSe.
Juniors-The crews as they row every
evening are: Lunsford, stroke; Scott. Z;
Amiss. 6; Deganne. s; Kengia. 4; Cardin,
3; Suter, 2; Ourand, 1.
Sherman, stroke: Rice, Z: Thompson. 8;
Davidson. 5: Saalbach. A. Walton, 8; Ever
The coxswains who are likely to make
places arc: Hanecke. Reddington and
Bresnahan.
The intermediate and senior crews will
be reinforced most probably by youngsters
from the junior ranks. The picking of the
crews will all be made by Coach Dempsey,
and the officers of the club, even the oars
men themselves, are glad that the task of
picking the crews is not theirs.
New Boat Arrives.
The new boat just manufactured for the
Potomacs has proven itself to be beau
tiful boat, fast and firm. 1t arrived the
middle Of the week. and was at once put
into commission. The three eights which
the Potomacs use are made by different
builders. They are three of the finest
hoats in the country. each model OF the

The Opinions of Two Leading New

The Opinions of Two Leading New
Mexico Democrats on His Chances
for Nomination for Delegate
Democratic politicians of Santa Fe

it the report to the effect that Jerry
Simpson. lately of Medicine Lodge,
| Kansas. but now of Roswell, New
Mexico. will present his name in the
race for the Democratic nomination
for delegate to congress at the hands
Of the convention to be held in Las
Vegas this month.
In speaking OF Mr. Simpsons avow-
ed candidacy. Attorney N. B. Laughlin
secretary of the Democratic central
committee has the following to say:
''The sockless statesman will stand
a fair chance for the nomination if
he announces himself. That is Dem
ocratic section down there and Jerry
Simpson is entitled to the nOmina-
ion, and will undoubtedly receive the
full recognition of his party, if he
will announce his candidacy"

)aien, which has been particularly
inactive and dull during the past ten
ye7rs, owing to great extent to the
fact that the candidates did not have
N opportunity to stump and express
their views to the people directly.
This time we will give each candidate
time to get around and see the vo-
ters.
I'VE want as many candidates as
possible.
There is no reason why Simpson
should not make a good showing"
said W. s. Hopewell. chairman of the
Democratic Territorial committee,
for all that win be asked of him is
that his idels conform with the plat
form adopted by the ST Louis con-
vention. The more the merrier. and
the former Kansas statesman, who
is now a full-fledged patriotic citizen
of New Mexico, will undoubtedly
make a good run. New Mexican.

the rear of the First National Bank.
Mayor Hinkle was in the chair and
all the members were present except
Burns and Parsons.
After the approval of the minutes
of the previous meeting, Attorney

ing that will be put down under the

time for the test the Council will pay
for the crossing if it is satisfactory.
and if it is not, it is to be removed
at the builders expense.

lowed and ordered paid.

point all the cement walks have been
completed. A crossing was also or
