see the water foaming down the hull

His feet were clear of the deck, his

Schmolz sprang forward, seized
Benning's collar and hustled him
down narrow flight Of steps from
the boat deck. He searched Ben

open over the hold. At command,
one man seized Benning's legs, the
other two helped Schmolz cram
their prisoner head foremost
through the opening.
Benning plummeted through
black space, struck on head and
shoulders and lay stunned, con-
seriousness holding by a thin thread.
Slowly his mind cleared. He
stretched his pain-racked body out
on the hard cargo and tested Shout

was no fracture. Lying fiat on his
back, he strained his eyes upward
through the blackness. The hatch
had been closed.
He muttered to himself: This
time, Benning, you've tangled your
self in fine snarl. Looks like cur
tains, doesn't it7"
Benning felt drowsiness creeping
over him, a drowsiness that had the
power of a strong opiate. He woke
with a start to find the engines shut
down now. The ship was not NOV

have stopped at Cristobal. Here a
quarantine officer would come
aboard. Schmolz would advise him
of the nature of his cargo, but this

was one of the most active in originating
the club, and expressed himself as being
desirous of getting together q crew with
plenty of beef in the boat"
The Undines proceeded to select a
crew of heavyweights, with view to
entering into contests, but there was
little prospect of this, since the ages
of the men of the older club and the diff
ference in boats made contest on even
terms out of the question, though at
times they did try to see which crew
could row the farthest during gale of
wind or during freshet.
Following this and for several years,
boating on the Potomac became some
what dormant, until when in 1868,
the Analostan Club was organized and
which, for many years afterward, was
one of the leading clubs in and around
Washington. 1t was known far and wide
for its skill with the oar and its dogged
determination to win.
First on Potomac.
An account printed in The Star more
than half a century ago says that the
year following the organization Of the
Analostans, two other boat clubs were
formed, namely the Anacostia, repre-
senting East Washington, and the
Potomacs, representing Georgetown, and
it is said that between these two clubs
the first boat race on the Potomac was
held, over a mile and -a-half course, the
Potomacs winning the race.

posed this organization. Some years ago
Mr.. Doyle, in going over the history of
this club, referred to some Of the i'm
portant events when the Potomac crew
carried to victory the colors of the club.
and mentioned as the greatest of these
prior to 1906, the one which made UP the
heavy and light tours, and which, when
thrown into an eight, formed a crew
that was the best the city ever had The
heavy four included Dyer, Reynolds,
Robinson and Elmore, and the light
crew, Fisher, Kearney, Cornwell and
Warden. These two made up the IA
nous light-oared crew that with Doyle
in the coxswain seat, won the $1,000
championship cup given by the Staten
Island Boat Club for race on the Kill
Won Kulls course between Staten Island
and New Jersey.
The beginning of the Columbia Boat
Club is contained in an item in The
Star of April IL 1880. which reads:
"A New Boat Cuba meeting for the
purpose of organizing a new boat club
was held Saturday night at the Riggs
House and was we'll attended by gentle
men of Georgetown and Washington.
and an organization to be known as the
Columbia Boat Club was formed. with

Though the forming Of the Potomac
Club is indefinitely set at 1863, yet,
under the name OF the Potomac Barge
Club, it had its actual beginning in
the summer of 1859, and about this
event The Star of June 13 Of that year
has this to say:
"A number of our citizens have formed
themselves into a club under the title
of the Potomac Barge Club for the
purpose of aquatic exercise and pleas
ure. They have purchased a beautiful
barge of 40 feet in length with six oars
and finished and furnished in most
superb style She arrived this morning
at Georgetown, from which place the
club will embark in her this afternoon
at o'clock and proceed to their new
boathouse at the Tenth Street Canal
Bridge under the escort OF the Falcon
Boat Club, in their beautiful barge
which has so long been the champion
and pride of our waters
How strange it must seem to many,
especially to the newcomers, when they
read that this boathouse of the Potomac
Barge Club was located "at the Tenth
Street Canal Bridge" and yet even today
many are still living who can recall the
old canal that sluggishly flowed along
B street north and the canal boats and
other small craft that could be daily
seen unloading their cargoes at the
wharves erected along this water course,
once the old Tiber Creek Indeed, there

are others still among us who, In their
childhood days, have taken the excursion
boat for a summers outing well up into
the Washington Canal.
It does seem odd, and yet 1t Is fact,
that from Sixth street to the Potomac
River, we'll up into the Mall to the
south, was once covered by water, as
well as was quite q strip to the north

of the members of the Potomac Club, in

you want to know what think about
all this?
"Well, here it is. Let us make bow
to it all. The last 80 or 40 years brought
to its apex the day of the resplendent
parvenues. The museums they have
built memorialize the culture of the
colonial mind which looked uneasily
abroad to make sure that its new wealth
had the right sort of trappings. That
day, except for a few backward in
dividuals is ended. The 20 and 80 year
clauses which protect the uneasy
superiorities back of our rarity collec-
tions still hang on. Let EN- hang.
IF we are to have living art in
America we must get it away from the
museums. We who live do not want to
be listed only with the dead. The dead
are all right. Their works are all right.
But a living art needs a living environ
ment," concludes Mr.. Benton. 'T have
said I'd rather have picture in lively
saloon than in a museum; I mean it.
There is no precious Ivory Tower palayer
in saloon, to stand between q picture
and the people who want to see 1t"
John Sloan, 70-yesr-old art teacher
and pioneer whose boast rs that he has
never painted a still-life, has been q
fighting president of the Society of In
dependent Artists most of the time since
the World War. Voicing resentment
of the gallery's 2o-year policy, he predicts
that "the directors will flnd they car
guess wrong even after 20 years"

Record Crowds Prove National Gallery of Art Popular

calls the National Gallery a cultural
"dustland." and declares that "if we
are to have National Gallery Of Art.
1t must be dedicated to the living as well
as the dead"
On the other side Of the debate a de-
fense of the gallery's policy comes from
Charles Burchfleld, one Of this countrys
most noted painters, represented here in
Phillips Memorial Gallery.
He declares the difficulty with present.
day American art lis that no one is
able to judge it with any perspective
BY waiting a quarter of a century after
an artists death, most of his contem-
poraries, who might be swayed by sem
timental considerations. will have passed
from the scene"
Every so often some one, probably
seeking publicity, makes the statement
that museums are mausoleums, devoted
to dead art because they do not fill
their galleries with the work of living
artists" Mr.. Burchfleld asserts.
THE only proper way to make dis
tinction between dead and living art
is to consider the spirit-when 1t was
produced has nothing to do with the case.
Recently it was my privilege to view the
Chinese paintings In the Freer Museum
Tin Washington. Some of these are over
300 years old, yet they are more alive
than at least 90 per cent Of the work
being done by living artists. 1t is the
/ per cent, or one-tenth of l per cent,
that o museum like the National Gal
lery is after.

They might better make their mis-
takes while living painters could benefit
by them" Sloan declares. adding satiri-
cally that maybe 200-year rule would
be safer from errors"
II am not surprised at the shivering
timidity that the present rule indicates,
and I really have no great objection to
another art graveyard or catacombs," the
New York artist says. 1T is nevertheless
very regrettable that such a potentially
powerful assistance to the living Ameri-
can artist Is not to be available"
Additional criticism comes from two
men of widely divergent origins now
represented in Washington by murals for
the Department of Justice and Interior
Department buildings. George Biddle,
artist member of the famous Philadelphia
family, declares that the scarcity of
American paintings docs not in any
way surprise me since the donors of the
collection never showed the slightest in
terest in American art"
"I can not criticize the policy OF the
trustees In blacklisting American art,
Mr.. Biddle says. They are quite justified
in limiting their sphere Of interest to any
school Of art they ohooss-lSth century

is broad enough and the material plenti-
full for another boating association in
our midst, it is to be hoped that the ex-
istence of new club will add an impetus
to boating during the coming summer

Just little over two years after they
were formed into boat club the Co
lumbias acquitted themselves s!oriously
at Philadelphia in the regatta Of October
26-27, 1880, winning the four-oared and
the eight-oared races. Always interest

covered this event in its usual interesting
way. Here is a part of the report of the
