great aquatic success, and will go down
into history as the most finished affair that
was ever arranged by the oarsmen Of the
Schuylkill river. Every detail of the affair
was admirably arranged and there was
nothing to interfere with the almost clock
like precision OF conducting the regatta
Now that It is out Of the way the oars
men of America will turn their attention to
the championship fixture, the annual Ma

gatta. which is to be held on the Schuyl-

every one will be attracted because Of the
fact that q championship title follows every

May 60 to Philadelphia Again.
The splendid success of the Potomacs in
winning that stubbornly fought Junior eight
race gives them excellent material from
which to send an intermediate crew to the
National to battle for the championship
trophy. and 1t will be the aim of the racing
committee to see that such crew Is made
up for the regatta. In addition TO the eignt
oarsmen that Capt. Mueller whipped into
racing trim and landed such an excellent
prize he has several Intermediates OF last
year who will start right In for places IN
the crew, and that means that there Will De

they were novices.
The work accomplished by Capt. Mueller
has greatly pleased his club mates and
should he duplicate his recent success by
producing another winning junior crew this
season. and aisu land win at the National,
nothing will be too good for him In the
ranks of the club. and they might even
give him the Few touse.
Proposed Intercity Race.
There is some talk of making arrange
ments for an intercity meet between Rich
mond, represented by the Virginia Boat
Club. and Washington. represented by the
Potomacs. 1t is not unlikely that the meet
ing will be a part Of the jamestown ex-
position regatta of August IA to August II.
or 1t may take place like last year. over at
West Point Since Mr.. Clarence A. Hecox
took up his residence at Richmond and
associated himself with the Virginia club
he has Infused new life in the organization,
and his time is fully occupied In instructing
the men in the science of sweep and scuil
rowing. Capt. Crawford of the Virginia
club is enthusiastic over the style and
system OF Mr.. Hecox and predicts sue
would cheerfully listen to any proposition
from the Virginians for a race of any kind
and at any place.

The boomers of the High School Rowing
Association were much elated at the sue
cess of the Potomacs at Philadelphia, as
in the crew were six Of the Tech boys,
who defeated Georgetown Props this year.
The success will be an incentive to the
new organization. The citizens are 10y
ally coming to its support. and If the rest
of the high schools drop into the scheme
like the Technicals 1t is bound to be de-
cided success from every point of view.
The failure Of Joe Daily and Tom German

were in the best shape possible. and al
though they had show to win. They will
keep up the game and persevere until they
do reach the top-notch goal.
Durando Miller, the crack New York Ath-
letic sculler. met his first defeat Thursday.
as Shepherd, the man who recently de-
feated Greer, the champion, beat him over
the line by a scant three feet. 1t was a
great race to watch. and Miller was not
disgraced by his fall down.

Club has not been fully consummated, and
that the club has not yet engaged in the
erection of its new home. The matter Is
fully explained by officers of the club. 1t
