Tho Towa association will this year make one of the most notable innovations in the history of sholl racing. In times past it was customary to have four and threo-mile courses, on the theory that boat races should be contests of endurance as well as of skill. The National Association of American Amateurs adopted two miles as the standard Ccourse, and a fow years ago tho Mississippi Vailey associntion made its races a milo and a half in order to use a fino course at Moline, which is devoid of tho slightost bend. The Tow association, veing an off-shoot of the Mississippi Valléy, adopted its standard.
