Proposed Races at New London.

A movement has been started by the Board of Trade of New London, Conn., to establish an annual amateur regatta similar in nature to the English Henley Regatta, to take place on the Thames at New London. A committee has been appointed by the Board of Trade to put the matter before the college and amateur rowing interests of the country and if possible to establish the movement on a firm footing.

It is proposed to have the regatta under the direct control of a Board of Stewards which shall represent the interests of the collegiate and amateur athletic club crews of the United States.

The committee has sent out circulars to various colleges and athletic clubs in order to reach an estimate of the probable number of entries. If the response is sufficiently favorable, immediate steps will be taken to make the regatta a definite thing.
