as coXswain. They have been coached nv
Capt. Mueller and have made fairly good
time over the mile-and- half course. which
If equaled In the trial set for Monday even
ing they VIII be without doubt entered.
There is some room for Improvement IN thu,
crew, but Capt. Mueller has worked on the
plan OF using only the men who have been
faithful in their work, and hence he has
made splendid ,oarsmen out of them II is
also probable that George Herman will en-
ter the junior SOULS at the same regatta,
as he has been training consistently for a
month with this idea in view. He is well
boated with new Ruddocl boat is in the
PINK OF condition, as he always is. and
there Is no reason why he should not make
good race against all corners.
The Potomacs have secured the services
of Mr.. Patrick Dempsey as coach for the
remainder of the season, and he Will as
sumo charge of the men from July ;. This
means that the Potomacs intend making
big bid to win honors at the national

at the middle states. when they defeated the

the intermediate and senior double SOULS.

gether for the middle states, where II is eX-
pected the Nespers will start, as they will
be home from Henley by that time, and as
the regatta will probably be at Philadef-
phia, the Vespers would hardly crawtish out
as they did last year at the Potomac river
regatta and later at the middle states.
The Potomacs as well several other
crews have been very anxious to meet YES
per. but that pleasure was denied them last
season by the WEIGHING of the Philadel-
phians.
The information given out by the local
committee in charge of the arrangements
for the national regatta at Baltimore is
that 1t will be the largest ever held IN
America. The people of Baltimore have
more than met the demands of the rowing
men, for they have ample funds at hand to
meet all obligations. and hence visitors are
promised Il royal welcome Inc TWO ClubS
are hard at work getting their oarsmen in
condition, and the two coaches, Van of the
Arels and Russell OF the ArundeIs have
not boats enough to meet the demands Of
the candidates. Both clubs will send crews
to the regatta at Philadelphia-n fact. the
representation from Baltimore will be larger
than New York will have present The
ArundelS under Coach Murray Russell
show the greatest Improvement, and the
men are greatly more pleased than they
We're with Wray, last seasons coach, and
now with Harvard, as every one is enthused
and hard at work
The Potomac Boat Club will give an ex-
