80 and 81.

Be Held at st. Catharines, Ont, July
80 and 81.
Rowing clubs the country over are
busily engaged in preparing men for
the highest honors of the year. the
championship races, to be rowed this
year in Detroit. Mich. Aug. 6 and I.
A! majority of the oarSmen entered in
the former event are also to take part
i'll the Canadian Henley to be held at
st. Catharines. Ont. July 80 and 81.
OarSmcn from New York, Boston, De
troit. Philadelphia. Memphis and many
other cities will be ON hand. The out
look for entries for the national events
is far more promising than a month
ago. when it was thought that the eN-
pense of sending men is more than the
smaller organizations can stand. Since
that time, however. several men both
east and west who are rowing fairly
we'll and covet championship honorS
have notified their clubs officers that
if they are entered the expenses will
be paid by themselves, viewing it in
the nature of a vacation. Apropos OF
the expense matter. it is interesting to
note that the twenty-five or more men
who represented the Metropolitan Row
ing club of New York i'm the New Eng
land regatta in Boston recently paid
their own expenses: the clubs treasur-
err was called on only to pay for trans
rortotiop cf bootc rH1o G q +, plop will
be followed by other clubs who con-
template sending representatives to
the national regatta. and they will not
be called upon for any money outside
of entrance fees.
Besides several entries in the inter
mediate events, New York will be
strongly represented in the senior sim
gle. senior double. senior four and
senior eight races. Sheplleard and j.
A. Miller Sd will row in association
singles and Durando Miller in cham
pionship singles. and all three men are
showing good work in practice.
The thirtieth annual Canadian Hem
ley regatta. the Canadian national
meeting of oarsmen. will he held at
ST. Catharinos, Ont. July 30 and 81.
1t is expected that there will be Il rec
ORD entry list and that many crack
American oarSmcn will compete.
This occasion marks the climax of
the rowin" season in Canada. and the
boat races bear the same relation to
the Canadians as do the Henley re-
| gatta to the English racing public and
the intercollegiate regatta at Pou@h-
keepsie to Americans.
Prospects for a successful regatta
were never better than they are this
year, for in the different events there
will be the pici: of the American club
oarsnlcn. This is duo to the fact that
the arslmen who will attend the Unit
ed States national regatta at Detroit
just Il week ahead of the Canadian
crow carnival will be able to take in
the Dominion's annual event on the
trip, Entries have beer received from
the clubs of Detroit, Duluth. Philadel-
phia. New York. Boston. Baltimore.
Buffalo and other large cities.
The Americans who will compete
will find that the Canadian scullers are
a formidable aggregation and that
they will have their work cut out for
them. The three Toronto rowing
clubs-the Argonauts. the Dons and
the Torontos-and the W%innipegs all
have powerful men in their four cared
and eight cared shells. The Ottawa
and Hamilton clubs will also be on
hand with capable representatives.
Each club will have an eight and two
four cared crews.
All the races with the exception Of
the Fights will again be rowed with
a turn. This practice allows the per
sons on the grand stand to see the
start as we'll as the finish Of the races
