1t Is understood that new entry
blanks have been gotten out to show
the championship status of the meet.
Even this arrangement. which. 1t is
said, was effected almost solely to
maintain harmony in the ranks of the
club, is not entirely satisfactory to
those favoring the American Canoe
Association, and efforts now are being
made to have the regatta staged not
only under association rules, but also
under association control.
Sought to Ignore 4. c. A.
Just short while ago a strong fac
tion in the club decided that the divi-
sional championships should not be
held and that in holding the annual
open regatta of the club the A. G. A.
ought to be ignored. That policy was
attempted. but out of the resultant
dsagreements the compromise above
mentioned was brought about.
1t is stated authoritatively by one
of the club leaders that no official
action has been taken by the board
of governors against the \. {. A, but
the same leader also said he would
not deny the clubs dissatIsfacti
with the American Canoe Association.
Another leader in the club said Just
as emphatically this morning that the
agreement to merge the annual open
regatta with the championships or the
Chesapeake and Delaware division of
not halt for minute the plan under
way to form a new international or
1 ganization to control canoe racing.
In the meanwhile preparation for
the regatta Labor day goes on. and
indications are that some of the best
racing in years will be seen. Clubs
from New York city. Phiiadelphl&
Baltimore and other points i'll the east
are expected to contest with local
canoeists for championship titles.
Word already has been received from
most of the large clubs that they Will
be on hand.
Most Important Event.
What is expected to he the most i'm :
portant event of the program is the
special race for fourS for the inter

only one stipulation to govern the
award of the trophy. which is that
the winner shall have the right to
