sary repairs will be made.
A row of piling has been driven at
the outer edge of the university boat

At the new Weld boathouse, a small
float is now being constructed, a new

HENLEY DEFINITION
OF an Amateur Gives Britishers Ad.
vantage Over American Rowers.

The undertaking and securing and
selecting representatives from this
country to take part in the Olympic
championships at Henley next season
has fallen on the shoulders of James
Pilkington and Julian Curtis, both Of
New York.
No sooner was the announcement
made than the English committee re-
hcarsed ,4he Henley definition of an
amateur, to which they will insist all
competitors must confirm. This means
that the majority of American oars
men are ineligible and will not be per-
mitted to row. 1t also means that in
all probability the United States VII
be forced to enter in the eight oarcd
race college men. who will have to
meet seasoned ex-college men on the
other side. men who have kept up their
rowing to an extent not practiced in
this country.
England has at least two good crews
in this seasons entries at Henley and
they have decided advantage over
everything that can be whipped into
line on this side at short notice.
