Favorable. and more or less
remarkable, conditions continue
to prevail in the weather line
throughout the Louisiana sugar
district. Some cold weather.
with more or less rain, has been
experienced within the past
week, but the brief relapse into
the normal conditions of late
January was Of short duration
and the beginning of February
finds the weather again mild and
springlike. as it has been almost
continually since Christmas, and
the cane is still coming up every
where and the growth so far
made since the first of the year
has not met with any tempera-
ture low enough to do more than
SINCE the tips of the young
leaves.
Considerable of barring off
stubble is reported from VARIOUS
parts of the sugar belt and this
would seem to be a more or less
hazardous proceeding, which had
better be deferred until a little
later. for February is the month
which has brought us our worst
weather in some recent years
and it may bring us a severe
freeze this year, catching the
stubble unprotected where off
barring has been done.
Cane planting is virtually fin
ished and the seed has been
found good to the last stalk.
The soil is in splendid filth and
the outlook is better than we
have ever seen it before at this
date in the season. The high
water in the Mississippi river is
a cause for some anxiety, and
our planters are naturally keep
ing a watchful eye on the levees.
High water years are notorious
as being good cane crop years.

GOLF.

The season OF 1907 was marked by an
increased enrolment and steady activity
IN each OF the three Washington golf
clubs.
The Columbia links have been open all
the year round, according to the custom
Of that club. and on its green have been
held two highly successful tournaments.
The spring tournament at the Chevy
Chase Club was a great success. while
IN aU three Of these Bannockburn golf
ers made a good showing, although that
club did not hold an open tournament
OF It's own.
For the Columbia Club the past has
been It's banner year Since the 1st Of
October twenty-five members have been
taken into the club. On the first Mon
day In January there will be an election
Of the board OF governors. The board Is
composed Of nine members. three OF
whom are elected each year. J. c

The twenty-men team Of this club was

won the majority Of the prizes In the
Chevy Chase spring tournament, and
in both the spring and fail tournaments
held on it's own grounds. W. T. Harlan

1t was in this tournament that the

ROWING.

Starting out by selling their boat
house. then sending crews TO Phila-
delphia TO win the intermediate and
senior eIght-oared championship Of
America, closing its accounts with the
completion OF plans for a magnificent
clubhouse on the Potomac, Is the record
of the Potomac Boat Club in 1907.
Early last spring, when the move
ment was on foot to introduce rowing
IN local nigh schools, a crew Of Tech
nical pupils. all of whom were mem
bers Of the club. met the Georgetown
Preps on the Potomac and defeated
them by a quarter length. The victory
was all the more Creditable, in view Of
the fact that the Technical crew was
composed entirely OF men who were
new at the rowing game II served its
purpose and developed some excellent
material which, later in the summer
was utilized on the regular club eight.
on July 1 the club rowers entered
the Peoples Regatta at Philadelphia,
and won the celebrated Wanamaker
cup for jurIo-- eights- Second and third
respectively, were the Vespers and
Fairmonts, the two clubs in the Quak-
er City.
Potomacs Triumph.
But the greatest achievement was the
success which attended the eight in the
National Regatta for championship
trophies at Philadelphia August II ana
p The Washington crew started in the
race for the intermediate championship
Of America and won the event, in field
il -cluding the two competitors il met at
the Peoples regatta and the crew from
the West Philadelphia Club. The PO-
tomacs rowed the course in 1At, eQualing
the worlds record for the course.
On the next day the Capital City crew
finished second in the race for the senior
championship of the world, being beaten
by the Argonauts of Canada, and de-
feating the 'O6 champion New York
Athletic Club and the Riverside crew
from Boston and the West Philadel-
phians. Both the Argonauts and the Po-
tomacs broke the worlds record for
the course the former finishing in 1:2912
and the latter in 1:S0&-
BY virtue of its victory over the
American clubs the Potomacs were pro-
claimed the champion senior crew Of
America by the National Rowing Com
mission.
Davis Wins Honor.
On Labor Day Clarence Dunbar Davis
was sent to the Middle States regatta
on the Harlem. He finished third, but
claimed that his chances were discount
ed by a foul received from the shell of
Waldemar Sand, the famous German
oarsman, who was second. He. there
fore, challenged tie German sculler 10
a match race on the Potomac and the
challenge was promptly accepted. On
September II the race was pulled off and
Davis made the visitor look foolish by
finishing when his competitor had COW
cred only about two-thirds of the course.
The race was important in that il turn
ed the attention of out-of-town oars
mon tO the Potomac course as = nos
sihle course for national regattas.
The record made by the Potomac
boat crews was all the more remarkable
when il is remembered that the oars
