LABOR DAY REGATTA.
Potomac Boat Club Fixes Details for
Mondays Sport.

The meeting of the Potomac Boat Club
last night was the largest and most de-
monstrative the club has held in years,
the enthusiasm being wrought up over
the approaching regatta Monday and the
prospects Of the many entries that the
club will make in the various events
The official program for Labor. day
was announced. and as the house is to
be the resort of 30 per cent of the visit
ors, il was decided to restrict the men,
as ladies would only come 10 the club
for the purpose of embarking in the many
boats which would use the float for a
landing stage.
To afford the members every facility
to witness the races the club has char
tered the large and triple-decked steam
er Queen Anne. and tickets We're distrib-
uted to the members last night. This
steamer will use the wharf of the Bren-
nan ConSt ruction Company. right at the
finish. and will also be the boat from
which invited guests and others who
choose to pay the per capita will see the
races.
Badges were also distributed to men,
bers. and altogether the membership was
extremely happy over everything and es-
pecially the prospects of landing some
prizes.
The Potomac river regatta committee
held an important meeting and mapped
out the minor details yet to be arttPnded
to. such as erecting racks for the storage
of boats allotting the crews to the vari-
Gus houses and selecting the guests who
will OCCUPY the launches that will follow
the races on the course.
The report of Chairman Zappone of the
Middle States committee was very en-
couraging. showing total of seventy
two entries in the regatta. thereby filing
every one OF the seventeen events. thus
providing for race In each class. This
IS arcmarkabe showing for so large a
number of races. and surpasses any re-
gatta held this year. At the Peoples re-
gatta at Philadelphia July !. always one
of the largest there were fif:yfour en-
tries: at the National Association, held
at Springfield, there were fifty-sX.
McCutcheon. the heavyweight junior
sculler of the Union Boat Club of New
York. accompanied by Fred Plaisted as
coach. arrived in town yesterday and is
Quartered at the Analostan house. Ac-
companied by Plaisted. McCutcheon was
out for a sprint Yesterday afternoon and
attracted attention.
Bennett. the former American cham
this year, will row in the senior singles
Monday, thereby making that event one
of the greatest Importance
In the junior single race there will be
twenty starters. an unprecedented num-
Der to start but every club protested
against heats.
1t was decided at the meeting of the
committee last night to do away entirely
with colors and In place thereof to have
each sculler and bow man wear a num-
Der corresponding to the position drawn
at starting point. and that the whistle on
board the steamer Queen Anne would tell
the result by blowing the number of the
winners on its siren. II the Potomacs in
any race was number four and they won
the race the Queen Anne would blow four
times. This will help people on the upper
