has ever been held in Baltimore and 1t
will not only be the biggest Middle States
regatta. but one OF the biggest rowing
events ever held in this country. The
New Workers have three reasons for COM
ing TO Baltimore in force. one of which
is 10 return the compliment the Monu-
mental city oaHmen paid to New York
IN 1903. when they sent eight entries. The
Ariels captured that regatta by winning
three firsts and two seconds IN the home
waters of the New Workers. and so Of
course the Gothamites have thirsted for
revenge.
They are therefore coming down in suf-
ticient numbers to capture the Labor day
meet If possible. and thus wipe out the
deieat OF 1909. Then, again, the New
Workers are suffering under the defeats
which they encountered at the National
and are looking to the Middle States to
retrieve their fortunes.
The New York Athletic Clubs -four is
anxious to again cross oars with the
Arundels and even up the score for their
defeat at Saratoga. The number of oars
men from New York will be the largest
ever sent out by that city in it's history.
! Philadelphia, with it's twelve clubs will
send list OF entries which would i'm ii
self make big regatta 1t is predicted
that nearly every club on the Scnuylkill
will have an entry.
Washington also owes il TO Baltimore TO
make number OF entries. as the Arundels
and Ariels have always responded to the
call of the locals whenever they have held
a regatta.
The Monumental oarsmen have the
promises OF ole Argonauts of Toronto
Canada, that they will make entries, and

Reports from the Monumental city show
that the coming Middle States regatta
will be the largest meet the assooiat ton
has ever held. and practically all Baiti-
more is assisting in making IL a success
Launches have been loaned the commit
tees in charge OF the course, barges do
mated Sor the seating of guests at both
rae Ariel and Arundel clubs ard substan-
tial subscriptions given BY Merchants to
uefray the expenses of the regatta.
The Middle States is one of the biggest
regatta associations in the country. sec
ond oNly to the National. and. in fact all
the active clubs in the latter are connect
I'd with the Middle States.
New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington are the most active rowing
centers in the country.
The first regatta of the Middle States
association was held at Newark, on the
Passaic river, and for "A number of years
was roWed there annually until conditions
became such that the races cound no
longer be held there and tile famous old
course upon which many important scores
were settled was abandoned.
Then the regettas were held ON the
speedway course OF the Harlem river,
New York. In 1908 the regatta was award
ed TO Washington and since then IL has
been held I'm Philadelphia. New York and
Washington tn alternate years.

same day. will.send several crews.
With this list Of entries from clubs of
known reput alton, Baltimoreans will wit
ness one OF the greatest rowing carnivals
ever held in this country, where every
style of rowing boat will be in use and
every class represented. There will be six
teen events. beginning at 10 o'clock In the
morning with an intermissicn of one and
one-half hours. There will be singles and
doubles. eights and fours. quadrup!es and
octuple sculls, which will make u prog am
as varied and interesting as one coul i
wish. In the matter of entries. the Bal
timore and Washington oarsmen will not
be far behind the others, Tor the Ariels
and Potomacs Will make entries in the
junior and intermediate singles. the
former club in the junior and interme-
diate gigs and both clubs in the Junior,
intermediate and senior eight-oared s.ells
and junior four-oared shells. The Arun-
deis VIII enter in the association singles,
senior doubles. senior four and eight
cared shells. junior gigs and junior eights
This list will make Baltimore's contribu-
ton TO the regatta and it is expected that
II VIII keep large proportion of the
trophies at home.
The Baltimore oarsmen are well assured
that this regatta will be one of the most
successful from II racing standpoint ever
held In this country and they are now
working on it. but not falling behind and
overlooking the social part of the pro-
Ariels and Arundels are getting their
clubhouses in shape to take care of the
large number of visitors who are expected
to partake Of their hospitality. The
Maryland Motor Boat Club and the Balti-
more Motor Yacht Club will place their
clubhouses at the disposal Of visiting
oarsmen for the storage of boats during
the regatta and have promised to assist
the oarsmen in any other way that may
lie in their power.
Even the watermen along Spring Gar
dens and Ferry Bar have entered into the
spirit of the occasion and have promised
to assist in making the affair success.
Two revenue cutters and the police boat
Lannon will be on hand to patrol the
course and any outside boat getting In the
way or even crossing the course while the
regatta is being held will be promptly ar
rested. as II is unlawful for any one to
cross or run in any course staked off as a
racing course while q regatta is being
held. The Naval Reserves have respond

There was once time when motor
boat races were participated in by boats
with one, two or possibly three cylinder
engines. They are not called races any
inTrs; gns. noWever we they are merely parades
F Ioday the man who can stuff the most
cylinders into the smallest boat and can
keep the whole business together the
longest time is the champion. In con-
cIusion, there are two types of racing
boats-the keel boat and the .hydroplane.
The FORMER is supposed to stay in the
water to reasonable extent, but the
latter sllips blithely from wave to wave,
toucnins toe now and then. The lat
ter are the faster. but owing to their
indifference as to whether they ride the
top OF the river or the bottom of ii they
have not yet become popular as excur-
sion boats.

THE ELECTIONS or 1911

State elections this year are few and
far between, only q little group or
commonwealth still holding out against
such a reform of the political calendar
os makes elections for state officers fall
in the even numbered years. in which
Representatives in Congress are
chosen. Massachusetts and Rhode Isl
and elect state officers annually, and
they can get in line with the great ma
iority Of the states only by abolishing the
one year term. Maryland Mississippi
and Kentucky choose state officers for
four years, and could easily shift to the
even numbered years, ms Ohio and Iowa
have recently done. If they should do
so, the odd year preceding Presi-
dental election would become n genuine
breathing spell in politics.
In Massachusetts the Republicans are
making q strong fight TO dispossess
Governor Foss, and the contest is eX-
citing and perhaps still dubious though
his opponents are gaining confidence
Governor Pothier Is candidate for re-
election in Rhode Island, and his success
is confidently expected. since he has
proved an admirable administrator and
has many important reforms TO his
credit. Maryland is all torn up over
the disclosure of the election frauds
practised by the Democratic ring in
Baltimore, and the defeat of Mr. Cor
man, the machines candidate for Gov
ernor, is highly probable In Missis-
slppi there will he no opposition TO the
Democratic ticket chosen at the August
primaries. The Kentucky Republicans
are making a good fight to retain con-
trol IN that state. but they are not aided
by Democratic disaffection to the same
extent rs they were four years ago.
Wien Governor Wilson was a candi-
date. Judge O'Rear's success would be
surprising, since the state il normally
Democratic.
In Nebraska minor state officers will
be chosen, and New York and New
Jersey will vote for Assembymen, New
Jersey also electing one-third of the
membership Of its Senate New Mexico
will hold its first election for state Of
ficers on November I, passing also on
the amendment 10 its constitution sug-
.gcsted BY Congress. Arlzona's first cleo
ton will not be held until December.
The state campaigns Of 1911 have
been made on local rather than on ma
tiOnal issues, and the results IN the
various states will have no very vital
bearing on next years Presidential CON
fest
