Potomacs to Hold Another
Excursion to Defray the
Expenses for Big Regatta

In Difference to the wishes of the many
friends of the Potomac Boat Club who
are anxious to see the big Middle States
Regatta to be held on the Potomac River
Labor Day next, great success. and
realizing that the recent excursion held
by the club for the benefit of the regatta
was lamentable failure on account Of
the heavy rainstorm on that day, the
Potomacs have decided to hold another
excursion to Marshall Hall on Wednes-
day, August %, 1916.
The Potomac Boat Club has under
taken. single handed, the backing of the
Middle States Regatta. In doing SO, they
have contracted to manage an affair that
will cost in the neighborhood of 5000
and will require a great amount of labor
on the part of the various members of
the club.
The holding of the regatta on the Po-
tomac River will be one of the greatest
booms the rowing game has received in
this city for some years, as the last big
regatta to be held was the Middle States
of 1912, and the Potomac Boat Club will
give to the local public a great day of
sport absolutely without charge.
OF course, this club cannot be expected
to finance this whole affair. there is
hardly a club in the country that could
do this alone. but those in charge of ar
rangements are depending on local busi-
ness men and citizens who wish to en-
courage this clean branch Of athletics,
to assist in making this regatta one Of
which Washington can well feel proud.
Great Regatta.
This regatta should be the greatest one
of the year, due to the fact that the
National Regatta is to be rowed at Du-
luth, MINI. On account OF the distance
being so great, requiring considera BILE
time and expense, many OF the Eastern
and Southern boat clubs will not send
their crews, no matter how good they
may be, TO the National, but will send
them here instead.
But three elght-oared crews are ex-
pected to journey to Duluth for the Ma
tional. the senior eight of the Undine
Club OF Philadelphia and the Junior and
intermediate eight of the New York Ath-
letic Club. Added to these will be a few
of the noted scullers OF the East, such
as Kelly and Smith, of the Vesper Boat
Club. of Philadelphia; Rooney and his
rowing partner, of the Ravenswood Club.
of New York: Waldo Smith. of the New
York Athletic Club. and a couple of
others.
1t will be seen that with such a small
percentage of Eastern oarsmen going to
the Duluth regatta, there remains a large
number of clubs in the East who are
saving their crews for the big event
here. The District should have a large
number of visiting rowing enthusiasts.
Another "Old Timer came forward last
week with a donation for the support of
the Middle States. Charles G. Worden, who
flowed bow seat in the famous light
weight four that was never defeated of
the Potomac Boat Club in the late
eighties, presented the regatta committee
with the individual prize for the senior
singles. 1+0-pound class.

Although the planetary influences are
not especially strong today, the balance
of power is good. Uranus is in a benefic
aspect while Mars and Mercury are
friendly. Jupiter, Saturn. and Neptune
are adverse.
The planets foreshadow many revela-
tions concerning the occult world, and
discoveries long predicted, will be made
by scientific men. although writer's will
be the first to recognize conditions on a
plane of consciousness Just above the one
on which physical life exists.
Uranus. the planet which governs the
organs of curiosity. invention and inves-

ing the coming year.
This should be lucky day for making
business plans for the coming year. Con-
