day. will be the elimination of the
active rowing season of 1912 and every
effort is being made by the different
committees and officials in charge to
make this the most successful event of
the year.
The Potomac Boat Club has decided
to move all it's boats into the large
tent adjoining the clubhouse. which was
erected for the accommodation of the
shells of the visiting oarsmen, and turn
the house over to the visitors. With
the exception of the Cndine Barge Club
and the Quaker City Barge Club. both

tered at the Analostan Boat Club by re-
quest. all of the visiting oarsmen will
be quartered at the Potomac Boat Club.

upon as regatta headquarters. many of
the visiting oarsmen will be located at
several of the other large hotels.

starting point will be little less than
one-half of a mile above the Three Sis

the Virginia to the District shore. Large
numbers will be hung on the Aqueduct
bridge corresponding to the numbers OF
the crews at the start. and each boat will

der its number. thus making ii very easy
for the spectators to keep track of every
contestant. Every single sculler and the
bow man in each crew must wear the
