GRAND REGATTA AT GENEVA WIS

VRAND hEGATTA Al " ENEVA w Is
We are happy to announce that
Geneva is to have grand regatta this
summer, about the middle of August,
to be open to all boats in the United
States. We anticipated many noted
and pleasurable occasions this season,
but expect this will eclipse them all
else. Geneva may count upon from
5000 80 5000 visitors on that day.
The plan is now to hold three regattas;
the first at St. Paul, Mimi, second at
Toledo, o., and the third at Geneva
Lake, and, this being the one which
will decide the contest, it may safely
be counted the most important.
The prizes will be worth S40O, and
cannot fail to develope great competi-
ton. Boatmen say it will be the
grandest regatta ever given in the
Northwest. Captain Cowles, Of this
village has been instrumental in Sc
curing this great benefit to Geneva,
and informs US that he has correspond
ed with clubs from Chicago, St. Paul
Madison, Saginaw, Detroit, Toledo,
and several other cities, and received
favorable answers from all; and many
have gone into training for the contest.
