ANOTHER ROWING REGATTA
TO BE HELD NEXT MONDAY

Owing to the widespread interest
throughout this country ana even
across the seas in the naval boat
races which were held in Hampton
RAIDS last week. l'atween the crews
of the international fleet assembled
1t has been decided to hold rowing
regatta on Monday which will be
open to the picked crews of all war
ships in the roadstead and in which
Japanese. Italian, CHILEAN and Aus
trian sailors-who were not here dur
ing the previous races-will partici.
pate. Speculation has been rife
among the officers of the fleets. and
among rowing experts generally as to
whether the crack crew of the U. S.
g. Illinois which was beaten by the
British crew of the Argyle last Sat-
urday, can defeat 4 representative
Japanese crew.

of Nippon can defeat the tars of I'm.
Gle Sam, and the officers of the Tsu-
ltuba and ChitGsc, the Japanese cr,iis-
ers which dropped anchor in the
Roads Monday. do not mind saying so
hence the racing program of next
Monday. The other foreign ships will
all enter crews and 1t is not at all
improbable that there will be some
surprises in the results of the pulling
contests.
Not only has there been much spec.
nlation about the respective merits
Of the crews, hut the foreign ~
United States officers have wagered
large sums of money on the outcome
Of the races and considerable enthu-
sinsm is expected for Monday.
The first race will be started at
2:30 sharp. from the u. s. S. Connec-
ticnt. Following are the events in
each of which there will be about fiji
teen entries:
