PREPARING FOR REGATTA.

The first preliminary meeting of the Po-
tomac River Regatta Association, under
whose auspices the Middle States regatta
/ will be held on the Potomac river, was
held Wednesday in the clubrooms on 10Th
street.
| The joint committee decided that as the
coming regatta was of a national charac-
ter and would probably surpass in point
| of attendance any regatta ever held in
| America tha citizens of the District should
be asked to participate in entertaining the
throng that will gather here next Septem-
| Der to witness the aquatic battles.
movement is to be started to have the
Board of Trade and Chamber of Com
| merce indorse the movement and by the
| appointment of appropriate committees to
| materially help the rowing association to
| meet the heavy obligation that 1t has as
| Sumed.
In previous years the association has
depended on a few public-spirited organi-
cations and citizens to help defray the ex-
penses Of the regatta, but this year every
organization in the District will be asked
to cooperate.
An excursion down the river in July is
talked of one of the plans to raise
money.
THE regatta is going to be a stupen-
dous affair."" recently declared Mr. c. R.
Zappone Of the Middle States Association
Having returned recently from the east
and west 1 was surprised to see so much
interest taken in the regatta at this early
day Two years ago. when the regatta
was rowed here, the high-water mark was
reached, sixty-nine entries being the rec
ord. but this year I look for a larger num-
Der and higher class. We will have the
best crews of Canada and America here
on the Potomac, and if some of the Olym-
plan crews and the Germans once again
cross the Atlantic they will all come here
to participate. My only fear Is that we
may not find suitable places to house the
large number of crews that will come, for
the Potomacs. who are right on the course
with new house. will have to erect tenn
porary quarters to hold the crowd that
will want to be their guests
The officers of the association elected at
the meeting Wednesday night were: Mr..
Joseph Hadley Doyle of Potomacs. presi-
dent; Mr.. c. r. Zappone of GEORGETOWN,
treasurer and Mr.. E. Richard Gasch, sec
rotary. They will hold weekly meetings
from now on to make plans and devise
ways and means. 8
