Mr.. Joseph T. Daily of the Potomacs
will be among the starters in the junior
SOULS at the Harlem river regatta on Dec
Grafton day. His club mates are expect
ing him to make good showing.
y
Capt Nevius of the Analostans Is out
every night in his new single shell. He
should enter the sculling races this season.
as ne has every qualification of a fast
going sculler.
Gen Henry C. Sharpe the quartermas-
ter general of the army, is one of the most
consistent scullers on the river, as he sell
dom misses launching his shen every day
to take a spin over the course. Gen.
Sharpe Is an enthusiastic Potomac member
and is elated over the coming here of the
middle states regatta.
The law In relation to small launches and
motor boats displaying lights after dark
should be enforced on the river especially
In the neighborhood and above the Aque-
duct bridge. The river is filed with pleas
ure craft just now, and these motor crafts
without lights are dangerous commodities
to be aftoat.
Scholes the Canadian winner of the dia-
mond SOULS at Henley. will not row singles
the early part of the season. having de-
cided, to his credit. that he should give
some time to his club and the crews thereon.
Great inducement will be made to get him
10 come to the middle states to meet Greer,
Shepherd. Williamson, Titus and Vesselly.
The Baltimore oarsmen are greatly
pleased that the big regatta comes to
Washington this year. as 1t will give them
a chance to enter crews in almost every
race Last year when the national was
held on their course they were kept out
of the 'goings' because the national does
not cater to the junior class of oarsmen.
Baltimore will make at least ten entries for
the race here in September.
The Potomacs will probably try TO gel
a Junior octopede together this season 1t
will be made feature of the middle states
regatta.

largely instrumental in landing the middle
states regatta. has returned home pre-
pared to make the big affair success.

ship OF the world. There were twenty
three entries, including the famous London
Rowing Club ana Leanders of England. the
