PLAN NAVAL REGATTA.
New York A. c. to Stage Aquatic
Events.

NEW YORK. August 2.-The rowing
men of the New York Athletic Club are
planning a great regatta for the naval
men. The details of the affair are in
the hands Of Charles Quinn, one of the
Winged Mercury's former champion
sweep men. Men on any foreign war
ships that may happen to be in port
will be invited to take part in the
races.
The style of boats used will be naval
cutters with the regulation oars, and
the standard number of a dozen men.
The course will be on the Hudson
along Riverside Drive, SO as to give
the public every chance to see the
racing.
Although the date has not been def
nitely arranged, it is understood that
it will be some Saturday. or else an
official holiday. The exact course has
not. yet been selected. but Grants
Tomb for the finish line has been men,
toned.
A point keenly studied by Quinn is
the tides in the Hudson. With a strong
tide in the direction of the Battery to
row upstream would mean some he
roic pulling. while 1t would be COM
paratively. easy were there an .incom-
ing tide. and it would make the pull
ing much easier. It Is proposed that
the races be mile in length.
