Marine Railway

The power launch Alert, recently pur-
chased from the Potomac and Chesapeake
Steamboat Company by Commodore A. q.
Forsberg, has been given a thorough
overhauling and painting, and Ia ready for
pleasure cruising on the Potomac. The
Alert has the reputation of being one Of
the ablest and speediest cruising launches
on the Potomac, and her new owner will
use her for pleasure purposes.
The houseboat Maud, belonging to Capt.
William Shafer. which was out on the
marine railway at Regan's boatyard for
attention to her hull and for minor repair
work. was completed and launched In the
latter part of last week. She will be
used on hunting trips on the river this
fall.
The new launch Benjamin N. belonging
to Capt. William Neitzy. has returned
from a cruise of several days down the
river with her owner and several friends
aboard. This was the first trip OF the
launch, and her performances as to speed
and the comfort OF those cruising in her
were most satisfactory. The launch will
be used for hunting trips on the river this
fall.

ALUMNI ON THE BOARD.
To Have Representation Among
George Washington Trustees.

In line with the most progressive
universities where alumni rep
resentation is made an important fac
tor in the administration and by which
the valuable cooperation OF all the
graduates Is secured in the develop
ment and extension Of the work. the
board Of trustees Of the George Wash
inzton University on the recommenda-
tion Of President Needham. has pass
ed an ordinance providing for the rep
resentation of the alumni upon the
board.
The trustees are divided into three
classes and are elected for three years.
The alumni are to have two represen-
tatives each year. which will make six
on the board. 1t was the general opin-
ION OF the board that when the alumni
were more widely organized. SO THAT
elections could be held covering the
whole country. the representation
should be increased each year. and as
soon as the organization of the alumni
is more widely extended or provision
Is made for a ballot by every alumnus
the board will undoubtedly favor a
larger representation.
At the annual meeting OF the Alumni
Association the matter of providing for
the election of these representative
trustees will be considered.
