better record than was made last week.

reason to believe the present will be one oil

South Pond. and in the races were Chihese
junks manned by native oarsmen. 6irch canoes
with swarthy Indians at the paddles. and the
uphter crnit OF all nations. All the boats were
decorated with their national colors, and the
oarsmeu wore native costumes and sang ma
tive soLgs. The curious craft In the trans
portation building. most OF which have never
been seen In the water. were pressed into SER
vice. The Fisheries building was Illuminated
By means OF electricity. Bands played along
tho lagoons. and search lights made the scene
brilliant.
