BOATHOUSE GOSSIP.

After a great deal of correspondence,
Midshipman Benson OF the Naval
Academy and the racing committee of
the Potomac Boat Club have agreed on
the first Saturday of May as the most
convenient one for the dual race between
representative crews of the two asscci-
atoms. The Naval Academy were very
anxious for the Potomacs to row them
the 18th of April. and held out for that
early date until the Potomacs absolutely
declined to consider the same under any
consideration, and named any date after
the first Saturday in May. Last week
MidShipman Benson, representing the Atm
letic Association of the Academy. notified
Chairman Doyle of the racing committee
that he was delegated to name Saturday,
May i, as one agreeable to the Midship-
men, and the Potomacs. after consulta-
ton, accepted the offer.
The resumption of rowing relations with
the Naval Academy is very pleasing to
the Potomacs, who pride themselves on
the fact that they were the flrst ones 10
institute eight-oared shell contests with
the Midshipmen. away back In 1875 when
Midshipman McCauley, Washington
boy. was captain and stroke of the Navy.
They rowed the Navy again in 1894. and
then the Middies adopted the plan OF
only rowing college crews.
Immediately on the acceptance Of the
date to meet Navy. Capt. Mueller of the
Potomacs, issued call for the oarsmen
to meet him today to formulate plans
for organizing the crews. and he expects
a large turnout of those who expect to
find seats in the two shells. OF last
years senior crew Messrs. w. II. Thrall
w. E. Miller. D. s. Bliss. E. >. Mueller,
B. c. Spransy, Wayne M. Hart and H.
" Ellis will be available, the only missing
one being Stroke Dan Brewster. OF the
champion intermediate crew the men
who will report will be F. e. Smith. ].
H. Bullough. R. P. Murray. E. L. Mueller.
r. W. Foster, j. H. Richardson and w.
J. Morse, the only one not coming out
being Frank Miller. who has left the
organization. This only leaves two seats
to be filled in the boats. and for these
places there will be such as Joseph Free
man. Thomas German. Clarence Davis.
Joseph Daily. Arthur Bell. George Herman.
Roy Cave. Waldo Pearce. j. w. Spransy
and others. who will gladly take turns
in the hope of landing the coveted seat.
The aim of Capt. Mueller will be to get
the two crews out on the water every
afternoon at the same time. so that they
may work together and get the benefit
of a race and racing starts. by having
each line up against one another on all
occasions. and thereby get the benefit
of the very best kind of training.

II reports are true, the criminal
code passed by the last legis laturc
is certainly no credit to its makers
and a disgrace to the state. For
instance, attorneys throughout the
state are responsible for this state
ment: That it is no longer a
crime to issue bad checks that it
is no longer crime to obtain
money under false pretense, and
that liquor may be sold in less
quantities than 4 gallon without a
license any place in the state save
within the confines of an incorpor-
ated city or town. Surely the last
legislature was composed of many
freaks and will go down in history
as a legislative body that was no
credit to itself, state or the voters.

THE position that President Taft
takes regarding the tariff bill now
before congress and demanding a
downward revision as promised the
people in the national platform of
the republican party in 1908, is one
that commends itself to every intel
ligent voter. His threatened veto
if the conference committee does
not revise downward, may cause
some of the stalWarts and stand
patters to crack their knees to-
gether and wabble on the spidle, but
it is certainly to be hoped that his
conceptions of justice and the de-
mands of the people will eventual
" prevail. The west wants free
lumber and free coal and the whole
country demands a low duty on
woodpulp, and these wishes should
be granted.
