cal associations OF the locality. which its friends adj
strenuously. have very little significance to
the visitor who is watching the crisis of doubtful

place is beyond all dispute although the modern guide

races in this regatta straightaway mile and
half. finishing at line of flags just opposite the
Lake Side Hotel. The entire course in full view

visit was made to all the college crews before ten
O'Clock. and 1t was agreed that their race should
be postponed until six O'Clock. As the college
race is really the feature Of greatest popular
interest in this regatta it was hoped that by that
time the wind would have abated that it could be
rowed. stipulation was entered into several days
ago between the captains Of the three to tho
effect that they would not start unless the
water smooth. 1t was clearly evident
before noon that under such conditions the race
would not be rowed to-day at all.
