Year: 1875

Everything promises well for the third annual
gata OF the National Association OF Amateur Oarsen
which place the course on Tuesday
and Wednesday. weather permitting. All Of the best
sculers in the country, all OF those who took part
the international regatta with the exception OF Frank
Yates, the Western oarsman, will again try their skill
al the here Courtney who for the past few days
has beon suffering intensely from ielon his thumb
will again meet Riley Bainbridge Lathrop, and
all his other antagonists OF Lake Saratoga
He will be tho favorite notwithstanding the
disadvantage under which he will get in his
boat Banbridge Is In better condition now than he
was four days ago, and little Roache maddened with
his cruel defeat will make strong endeavor make
up for the past In fact all OF the determined
20 do their "leve best" the Laureate Feel
ing with each runs high, and determination to win IS
strong in the minds OF all of them The field OF sculers

Courtney will not have easy, because the is
shorter-ony mile and half-and he is much better
al long than a short distance Many argue from
this that the other sculers win have better
chance Randall, the Potomac man, who absent
from the field in Saratoga, will try what he can do
here. He is q good oarsman, has q fine record, and
those who know him best say that he will make things
lively" for one. He has been out on tho river
faithfully twice day since he got here and the scull-



ing very fast Riley Is also making good use OF
his time and is splendid condition and ''as brown
berry" Bainbrdge rowed over the course this morn
ing on time and satisfied that he will do than
he did Saratoga, and RoGche, Lathrop Ackerman,
Orr and the others all hopeful with the great
odds against them. So much for the single scullers

tune men, will pull in boat, which suits them
much better than the they have been rowing in
They say she is lighter and travels faster She is built
the model Courtney's, and appears to be a
much lighter boat than the they rowed in the lake.
The Beaverwycks double is good one, and Lathrop
and his partner rowing in better shape and faster to
all appearances than they did week ago. Another thing

The Potomacs entries will row. Randall feeling that
the strain would be too great for him after rowing

that the Mutuals and Beaverwycks drawn in
the same heat Had they been drawn there would
have been very hot work. The two crews-the

hard for victory. The Argonautas have made change
and they will not the boat they rowed on
Lake Saratoga The boat they will in here Is an
English built boat and the like her very WE'LL
change of boats this late day is questionable policy
One thing however, in their favor is that they have
