men who visit Boston to compete in
the national rowing championships
on the Charles river basin during the
first week in August, will be the
guests for four days, without charge
except for meals. of the New England
Amateur Rowing Association. This
was decided upon last night at a
meeting of the association. The COM
mittee on arrangements reported
that a Back Bay hotel had been
leased for the oarsmen's use.
1t was voted to anchor barges along
the basin on either side of the course
to assure smooth water conditions,
and also to allow the erection of
grand stands over the water. Canoe
races will probably be added to the
program, but this matter was held
over for further consideration.
