where will the rowing clubs OF Wash
ington Did themselves located In the fu-
ture?" is the all-absorbing question now
before the various organizations whose
homes are located inside that portion of
the river known as the Georgetown Basin.
This refers most particularly to the Ana
ioston and the Potomac boat clubs, though
1t also applies to the Washington Canoe
Club. whose house Is located just west
Of the Aaueduct bridge.
The clubmen are discussing the condi-
lions that now confront them In every
possible shape and detail. and the idea is
fast coming to the front that eventually
ali will have to seek places in the new
Potomac Park. A conference of a large
number of the Potomac members was held
Monday night at the Riggs House. and
the subject was threshed over in every
conceivable way. and every spot avail
able on the river was discussed. While
nothing was settled, the almost unanimous
opinion OF the club was to the effect that
II a desirable locality could be secured in
the western end OF the park, between
Easily Point and a line due south from
the old naval observatory, it would be
to the best interest of the organization to
obtain 1t at once. The board of gov
errors of the club will go over to the
park some time early this week in order
10 settle upon the desired site, ana VIII
make an application for 1t to Colonel
Cromwell. superintendent Of public build
ings and grounds Colonel Cromwell has
said that Potomac Park is destined to be
the most beautiful resort in America, and
that In a few years the lagoon will be
the most attractive spot in the city. where
the lovers OF aquatics especially will find
a delightful place.
A new phase was added to this important
question Monday night by the Georgetown
S1IlZenS ASSOCIATION. Inc ASSOCIATION
adopted q strong resolution for a park.

Financial Sacrifice of Winners
for the Benefit of the
Breeders.

PARIS, December S-There has been
great outcry over very little wool in the
matter of the proposed impost of ten per
cent on the sums of money set aside IN
the budget Of the different racing societies
for distribution among winning owners.
There was no chance OF such proposition
being entertained by the chamber of depu-
ties, where breeders are largely represent
ed Small farmers in the different dis
tricts of Normandy and the plains of Tar
bes have turned their attention for years
past to the thoroughbred. and those who
have studied the history of racing in France
will have read of the endeavors made by
owners of racing stables to promote the
development OF the thoroughbred in suit
able districts throughout France. Natural
ly II was impossible to conceive that the
best racing material could be drawn from
the latter resources, for though the gov
eminent sires were distributed among the
different breeding centers, the quality of
the mares was not the same as that to be
found in private studs. Hence the desire of
such societies as the Steeplechase Society
and the Societe Sportive Encouragement
TO apply certain reserve out of the sums
destined for winning owners In favor of the
breeder. who now retains an interest In
the foal he has bred as long as 1t remains
on the turf.

known as the French Jockey Club. was the
last among racing authorities to concede
the premiums. alleging that. its sole
object was to better the breed of horses.

passes by team near its own goal, since 1t
could not afford to risk fault giving the
other team a chance to score then and
there. So, too, the restrictions forbidding the
ball to be passed forward except outside Of
five yards on either side Of the center, pre-
venting it's being received by any player ex-
cept the ends of those on the line of scrim-
mage, all served to unnecessarily handicap
the play. Either something must be done to
remove these restrictions or some means
must be found to encourage possible end
runs If the game is not to degenerate into
a kicking duel exclusively, in defiance of its
original intention.

Butler Takes the Field on May
for -Four Months.

Sunday was an important day
in the history Of the Texas Wo'
mans College, and steps were taken
Aby the congregation at the First
1<Baptist church that will result in
much and lasting benefit to the
school.
At the Sunday morning revival
service Evangelist T. T. Martin
took occasion to make some very
encouraging remarks in connection
with the work and prospects OF
the college. He said that before
he came here he had an idea that
the school was so situated that il
might not succeed, or at least not
realize the great purposes embodied
in the plans Of Its promoters; but
having seen the work already ac-
complished, the broad field Of use
fulness open to it and the intelli-
gent and well directed effort being
put forth in establishing il, be
now feels confident regarding its
future. He emphasized the policy
Of the school to attract protestant
clientage Of all denominations, sew
eral Of which are represented in
the faculty, and the purpose to
give thorough christian training,
leaving the choice Of church at
tendance and utilization entirely
to the parents ard pupils. He also
showed that while the Baptists are
stronger in Texas than any other
Southern state and have an incom.
parable larger field, they are behind
nearly all the other Southern states
in the number Of Baptist colleges
for the education Of women, which
fact alone Is a sufficient demand
for pressing forward confidently
with the work 20 successfully be-
gan here. Rev. Martin also made
reference 90 the work Of DR.. Butler
for the school and his decision 10
remain in Bryan, his remarks con-
tanning well merited tributes to
the invaluable personal service Of
the resourceful and indefatigable
president Of the college.
