The Potomac Boat Club is to hold a
semi closed regatta today. Beside nu-
merous contests in which only members
of the organization will be allowed to
take part, there will be two races with
outside crews The Arundel eight OF
Baltimore will come over for brush
with the eight representing the Poto-
macs, and the Old Dominion Boat Club
of Alexandria is to pit the strength OF
it's four-oared boat against quartet
of Potomac oarsmen.
The regatta is TO be used IN the ma
ture of a tryout for the Potomac crews,
besides to stir real interest among the
club members. Upon whether a salts
factory showing is made today by the
Red and White boats will depend in a
great measure their trip to Philadel-
pbia to enter the middle states regatta.

made in the work of the oarsmcn. ana
it is thought they viii show better
form against the Arundeis this after
noon than at any previous time this

events are in the hands of the secre-
tary, and all arrangements Tor the az
