The Analostan Boat Club will hold its
second club regatta August 5, and, tudg-
ing from the interest shown by the MEM
bers, it will undoubtedly meet with the
same success as the one held July IL, as
number of new events have been
added TO the programme. feature of
the afternoon will be special swimming
races, besides canoe, shell. and many
others The programme will start at 1
o'clock
Following this regatta a special Ian
tern parade of canoes will be held, and
Judging from the number of entries al
ready received by Commodore w. A.
Rogers, of the Washington Canoe Club,
1t will undoubtedly be not only the most
successful but the most beautiful water
carnival held in this city for long
time.
Commodore Rogers said that every
body is invited to enter the parade,
| whether they belong to local club or
not There is no entrance fee. The
parade will start below the Analostan
Boat Club, and, after making circles and
evolutions Of different descriptions, it
will finally end at Moore's boat house,
above the Washington Canoe Club. If any
one who would like to be towed down
to the Analcstan Boat Club will meet
Commodore Rogers at the Washington
Canoe Club. they will be accommodated
| in that respect.
Local conoeists have not seen an event
of this kind for two years, and much
| credit Is due Commodore Rogers, who
is making final arrangements, for getting
| II I'D. 1t is expected that about a dozen
! or more canoes will be entered from
each club.
Commodore W. A. Rogers, Of the
| Washington Canoe Club. said that few
canoeists know how to take the waves
from a large boat while canoeing on the
river. He said they should swing the
canoe into the trough of the waves, so
they will be parallel with them. By so
doing they will go over the waves easily
and there is no danger whatever.
Commodore w. A Rogers, Of the
Washington Canoe Club. and one Of the
most enthusiastic canoests IN the city,
| is endeavoring to form a local racing
| association of canoeists and racers In
general to represent Washington in the
regattas Of the American Canoe Associa-
tion. Sugar Island, and St. Lawrence
River clubs.
The members Of the various clubs are
heartily In favor Of forming this new
association. AS there are large NUM-
ber of fast racers in the city. Wash
ineton would undoubtedly make a good
showing in the out-of-town regattas.
| Commodore Rogers win be glad to re-
ceive any suggestions from local canoe
lists regarding the matter. Judging from
the interest shown, this association would
undoubtedly be big success, and IN q
few wears Washington would be known
all over the East for its fast crews.
