The Manhattan Athletic Club, New York city, on the 17th instant held its annual carni- of sports on Manhattan field, and it was a regular athletic, bicycling and aquatic tourna- ment, and included everything from lawn tennis | and swimming and shooting and rowing and base ball and foot bail and lacrosse to the fire- works and lantern bioyele parade at night. Think of it! whats grand day's sport this is. Why could not we have a day's sport like this ery year? If once tried 1am sure it would success and at once become a fixture. I mean, however, to have it an open event, open toallamateurs in all the sports, Let's ‘try it next year! ‘Today the New York Athletic Club is holding its annual club regatta and, canoe aud swimming races at Travers’ Island and will include single sculls and gigs and eight-oared shells, and ofy course it will be a big affair. FOOT BALL AMONG ROWING MEN. Inorder to keep the rowing men together during the winter and thus prevent their drift- ing away to other clubs foot ball is spoken of, and I learn that the boat clubs on the Passai river at Newark are making an effort to form some sort of a foot ball organization and play among themselves this fall. It is possible the Tritons and the Passaics will start the foot ball rolling with a game of foot ball with each other. | Here on our river the Columbia have a foot ball team as a fixture and their success in the past is well known. The other two clubs will | Probably have teams this season. INDIVIDUAL SHOWING TO BE PROUD OF. One of the most successful clubs in the country is the Fairmount Rowing Association | of Philadelphia, It is not a very large club, but | it has a very earnest lot of members, who | squeeze for their club all the time, and, besides that, it has the benefit of good, careful manage- ment by competent and active officers. It does most of its rowing in “fours” and “eights,” and | for some time its “senior” four crew seemed invincible, and in 1886 this crew won the cham- | pionship at the national at Albany in| 8.013¢ for the mile and a haif, which time | has only been beaten once in nineteen years at | the national and this one time by the Emeralds of Detroit, of whom I spoke a week or two ago as rowing ‘the national in 1877 in 7.50. Wm. H. Brownell, one of the best “‘sweeps’” and bow men in the country, bas rowed in every “senior four and eight” that has ever left the Fair- mount’s bai house and has won four national championships in “four and cigh‘s,” and this record has never been excelled. Snowden, this Year's stroke of the crew, has won three na- tional championships and is still @ very good | man. ‘This again shows what cau be doue if one only st task, SOME OF THE “CHIPPIE” EIGHT TO RETIRE. For more than one reason 1s it tobe regretted that three from among the best of a very re- markable eight-oared crew (the “Chippies”) will retire from active rowing after the club regatta io he “Chippies” of the New York Athletic Club are one of the rowing wonders of the season. They have been be only once, aud this once by Cornell Univer ‘The crew last veur and thik crowned its. ef by handily winning the national and were in many respects an exc ‘The three members of the crew who are going | to retire are Seth B. Hunt and C. E. Knob- | laugh, “charter members” of the crew, and | Capt. E. J. Giannini, who came into the crew last year. The latter and Hunt say they have “had enough of it.” Knoblaygh is going abroad and will be gone several years, At the end of each season it seems the proper caper for many rowing men to say they “have enough of it,” and when the next rowing season come= around they are justas anxious as ever for the fray and let us hope that the great stroke Hunt « the gallant captain will again have the fever and next vear again help to put the “winged foot” in front on the water. ANOTHER FAST EIGHT LOOMING UP. Each season brings to the top some remarka- ble crew, and this year is no exception. The Bradford Boat Club of Worcester, Mass., long ago made a reputation for sending out fast crews, but in late years has not done any- thing remarkable in that line until now, at the very wind up of its season, it comes in on labor day, at Boston, with an eight-oared crew that does full mile and a half. on slow water for Charles river, in the remarkably fast time of 7.13, just eight seconds faster than Cornell did it at New- ark May 30 last. What a race these two crews would make. THE TRANSPORTATION OF SHELLS BY RAIL. The fact that the Analosian Boat Club had so much trouble and annoyance in getting their new oared shell here from New York last week calls to mind the fact that other clubs in various parts of the country had nearly if not quite as much trouble “in getting their shells to and from regattas and from the builders during the past summer. Now, it seems to me that where clubs are willing to pay a reasonable rate for the transportation of their boats from the builder to their city that the railroads would do all in their power to assist them, es- ‘inlly as the railroadsdo not have any trouble Eondiing the boats, having simply to attach an extra car to the train and the club pays for this and band # the boat, as the Analostans did last weel ‘ his a if the refusal by the raiiroads of this kind of freight continues that the makers of boats will have to build the shells and ship them packed in sections, as they do with many of the boats that are sent to the Pacific coast.
