city. Not only was he president of the
Potomacs for twelve years, but promoted
every regatta on the Potomac for the
| last twenty-five years.
Mr.. Doyle has been a director in the
Potomac Boat Club affairs for twenty
years. During that time he has per-
| sonally supervised regattas in this city
| in 1900, 1902, 1905, and 1906. In addition
| to this he pulled off four Middle States
regattas and last year was the main
means of having the national regatta
| held in this city.
1t is matter much to the credit Of
Mr.. Doyle that this last regatta, held on
our Potomac waters. Melted the national
| committee much above their expense.
This was due principally to his excel
lent Judgment and commercial sense
The annual election of officers of the
Potomac Boat Club was held last We'd
nesday and considerable changes were
| made. Frank E. Smith got the cap
taincy. and his lieutenants are Walter
Thrall and c. +. Parker. The other men
selected TO govern the affairs of the
Potomacs are president, Charles G.
Warden; vice president, William C. Nc

A smoker will be held on April %,
when the members will assemble for the
purpose of becoming acquainted.
The wind blows free. DER the stormy sea
And the whtecaps laugh and leap.
All winged and white like bird in fight
She strains DER the bounding deep.
So up with the anchor and of my boys
And crowd on the swelling sail
With a rolsing cheer for the open we'll steer
Or sail in fba f-eaha
C. o. Rinthian.,
An elaborate programme of races is
being prepared for July 10, at Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, The Caital City Yacht
Club. the Baltimore Yacht Club, Balti-
more Motor Boat Association, PhiladeI-
phia Corinthians, and the Chesapeake Bay
Yacht Club will assemble their craft and
for three days will compete for a num-
Der of prizes offered by Washington.
Baltimore and Philadelphia merchants
Lyman F. Hervins. Arthur Rogers, and
Gene Hartley are planning for another
mile trip TO the Bay of Fund.- in the sail
ing cruiser "Nenemoosha." They made a
round trip from Washington two years
ago in this same sailboat, about which
more anon.
''Remlik'' will be launched this week.
The yacht. which is owned by w. S.
Kilmer, OF New York, was last week
moved from the construction shed at
Eleventh street wharf.
The Brooklyn Yacht Club will hold
race to Cape May on July l. August Il
the club will give race to Fire Island
and return. These events are open to
both sail and motor boats of all cities.
An event of moment to the lovers of
aquatics in Washington will be the races
participated in by the Annapolis College
crews and other big college crews in the
Severn this season. Coach Ralph Glen
don. formerly trainer for the Potomac
Boat Club crews, informs me that by
closing arrangements with the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology and
Syracuse for races at Annapolis the Naval
Academy has fixed a schedule which will
require four races to be rowed on success
sive Saturdays. Tech will open the sea-
son on April %, and the University of
Pennsylvania will row here on May 6.
Columbia will row on May 13 and SYRIA
cuse will close the season on May 20.
Few college crews have undertaken a
veteran crew this year, and II is thought
here that the hard series of races is not
too much for 1t, particularly as the crew
is heavier and older than for a number
of years past.
John Hadley Doyle, OF the Potomacs.
and his committee on improvements are
busy determining to whom the contract
for building the new wharf will be
awarded.

fully expected that the new eight ordered
by the club would be here some time |
this week. The boat is being built by
Glass, of Philadelphia, and will be much !
lighter than the eight formerly used by |
the crack octet of scullers of the Ana |
lostan Club.
On April Is there will be a swimming |
demonstration OF the fancy strokes and
the dives by the Y. NJ. c. A. instructors. |

with water each day. There always will |
be two instructors on hand in case of

quired to take a thorough shower bath |
