An association to promote rowing in
the south probably will be formed at
a meeting Of representatives of the
various boat clubs in Washington,
Richmond, Baltimore and Annapolis to-
night at the Raleigh Hotel. 1t is
planned to have such an organization
for two purposes. the first, to promote
eral standpoint, and the other the de-
velopment of big regatta to be held
annually.
There is no doubt that a regatta of
exceptional interest and attendance
could be held in this section each sum-
mer which would equal those of the
Middle States Association. There are
quite few clubs supporting rowing
and are willing to give their whole in
terest to such an enterprise. The Po-
Club of this city, for instance, besides
others. are specially interested in the
development of aquatics and each al
ready has had considerable success in
various regattas The National regatta
was held here several years ago and
thousands Of persons watched the races.
There are many more followers of wa
ter sports here than is generally
thought, nearly all of whom would be
willing to lend their aid to attain sue
cess for such an organization as is
proposed.

The Chicago convention seems to have been sort or gorfed reproduction of the Republican territorial con- vention in Seward There were the same efforts the night before to bring the Regulars and Pogresses together and the Progressive convention has ended up by leaving the selection of presidential candidate to committee William Howard Taft according to odays dispatches, eX poets to see the two wings of the party come together now and what he means s probably that Roosevelt will decide to eliminate himself Should this happen it will be inter estng to watch what will be done in Alaska It would be
 safe bet that the Alaska committee entrusted with the selection of a candidate will not select Wickersham with Roosevelt out of the running outside.
