AMONG THE OARSMEN.

The securing of the middle states regatta
for Washington has infused new life into
the local aquatic organizations and they
are greasing up slides and oiling locks, get
ting ready for the ambitious who desire to
compete
The holding of the regatta here should
please the Analostan club, as 1t will afford
its lively membership a chance to get crews
in both the Junior shell races. four and
eight. The club has new boats just suited
for these races. has plenty of oarsmen, some
of whom have had college training. and
hence things look good" for the Oldest CLUB
on the river.
The American Henley will take place Sat
urday next over the Schuylkill river course,
at Philadelphia. Capt. Joseph Daily of the
Potomacs will represent this city In the
sculling races, and the Ariels Of Baltimore
will be in the eight-oared race with a crew
their coach believes will astonish all. 1t Is
practically the crew that won the Junior
race here in 1904.
Capt. Joe Daily, soon as he returns
from his trip to the Henley and Decoration
day regatta at New York. will at once begin
to get the Potomac oarsmen roupied up for
the expected lively season.

MIDDIES DEFEATED THE COLUM-
BIA UNIVERSITY EIGHT.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 19.-The midship-
men closed their intercollegiate rowing sea-
son here this afternoon with double honors
They defeated Columbia by nearly four
lengths and lowered the record for the
course by over four seconds In two-mile
race on the Severn. The time was 3:37, and
the best previous performance was Gal 2-J
made by the navy crew two years ago
against Georgetown.
Columbia's time today was 943 less than
two seconds short of the best previous per-
Torrance. Contributing to the excellent
time today We're the facts that the crews
were favored by the tide and some wind
They were somewhat handicapped, how
ever, by the fact that they had to paddle
to the point, four miles above the Naval
Academy, before the race began. This. too.
was against heavy wind. that dropped de-
cidedly just as the start was made.
The navy crew got away in better shape
and increased it's lead to the end The Wis
itors rowed In excellent FORM getting the
blades in the water together. pulling them
through clearly and putting steam on at the
end. but in all these phases OF Craftsmanship
the midshipmen had slightly the better of
1t, and this advantage made the difference
between the crews. Columbia started with
the stroke at 81 and the navy at 80. Appar-
emily the visitors expected the local youths
to pull themselves out. but this did not
prove to be the case, as the navy crew an
ticipated the squirt ana nit the stroke up a
couple to the minute before Columbia tried
to close the gap. Columbia responded at
once. but could not lessen the difference in
the slightest finishing about four lengths
to the rear. but with the consciousness of
having rowed a game race. The crews
rowed as follows:
