Quite d bit of misunderstanding has

sidered nothing Of the kind. But they

tute for the varsity eight-oared race,

ture Of this regatta.

II has been suggested that a centipede
race be arranged TO be rowed either as

These energetic officials have talked
the matter over and are sure they can
get more than enough entries TO make
up an evenings entertainment and fur
nish high-class exhibitions. DR.. Grant
said that II he had known that the Car
roll bouts were going to be on such an
extensive scale, and for such handsome
medals, he could have brought a dozen
Baltimore amateurs with him to try for
the Washington prizes, and expressed
regret that he had labored under a mis-
apprehension about the size OF the tour
nament. Prof. Joyce was equally sorry
that the Baltimoreans were not present
in order that his home-grow talent
might smear them around the institute
floor. From this line OF sad talk and
vain regrets came the new proposition.
Prof. Joyce said this morning that he
already had ten or dozen men in sight
for the campaign against the Maryland
burg. but wanted more, and requests
that all ambitious amateurs of what
ever weight, send their names to him
at Carroll Institute. The Y. NJ. c. A.
