1ne Detroits. Sylvans and Wolverine:
have four Dared gigs on the ground, and
the O-Wash-ta-Nongs. who were disap'
pointed in receiving their new gig, are
ouilding one for the occasion. By the rule:
OF the Association . gig must oe open al
over and . lap streak, but the Sylvans giG
has . shell bottom, and so the home crew
havs taken an old four-oared shell, taken
of the decks and are making . good enough
gig OF IL to win the race with.
There will be considerable rivalry. al.
though friendly, between these clubs. who
were pItted against each other at Pullman
last year, and some most interesting races
may be expected.
There will De bat one drawback to the
most complete success Of the affair, anC
that is the want OF hotel accommodations- g.
that is. inslodging the boatmsn and theil
. | numerous irlents. They will ind plenty
| TO eat. and 20 will the crowds who witness
| the regatta, but the room TO keep them g
the lake over night is very meagre- Ii i!
acknowledged by all to De the finest course
, in the State. aud. with the exception o
Pullman. the best mic straightaway il
the association. add it is much plessanter
Headquarters are at the O-Wash-ta- Non!
, club house. where all the shells are house,
= and the best OF caro- tak9n with them
!, Every accommodation for the working par
of the regatta will here be found. and al
the accommodations for eating and drink
ing that could De found any where will b
|. | furnished at Charley Godfroys hotel, Will
II il safe tn say that all the crews will .
msds comfortable and be well treated il
every way.
IL Is the discrimination of the home crey
| and the committee ~ the lake 70 make thi
the finest exhibit of aquatic sport eve
Witnessed in the histsry of the organiza
