There were more people present yesterday
Afternoon at the New Lake End to witness the
second days regatta than on the first day, and
the excitement, il 1t could be called excitement,
ran much higher. For awhile the betting Was
quite spirited ON the gig and barge races, ss the
the water was rather rough, making the result
uncertain.
The st. John clubhouse Was crowded with the
invited guests Of that popular organic alton and
the banks Of the canal lined with people. Fer
some time IL was doubtful whether there would
be any race, and about O'Clock the wind began
to freshsn and white Gaps dotted the lake.
A little after that hour, however, the judges
boat took it's position on the line, and the COM
The First Race

This race was postponed from the day before,
and there was much doubt as to which would be
the victor. The short ohopping sea made 1t diff
cult for any OF the gigs TO live, and II became
apparent at once that swapping would be the
| order Of the day.
Shortly before the start WAS effected The River
sides gig filed with water, heavy wave taking
| her on the beam and her crew withdrew from the
| contest. the udges declaring all bets on this
| crew off, A tolerable start was made, but the
| Magnolis's bost had not gone far before che toe
suecumbed aud went under. The Hopes made 9
