Oct. II.
For the past three days 1
have been in the New York
market again selecting cloaks,
capes, fur capes, jackets, silk
waists, separate skirts, suits,
dress fabrics, etc.
Women and misses who
need outside garments will
find my assortment at its best
about this time. There is just
as much difference in cloak
makers as in individual tailors
or dressmakers as to one be-
ing able, somehow, to turn out
a garment which has more
"style" than another. l try
to get the best style and fit in
the market, and then to make
the price a reasonable one.
New things opening almost
every day now all through the
store.

James Bay Athletic Club OF Victoria: Mr..
Damon, of the Willamette Rowing Club
of Portland. and Mr. Judge. of the Port

sided and Mr.. Judge acted as secretary
and treasurer. II was decided that the
annual regatta be held on Esquimault
harbor July 10 and N. The course is a
mile and a half. practically straightaway.
and will he buoyed SO that there need be
no interference. The prizes will be the
Canadian Pacific challenge cup for four
Dared senior races. gold medals 10 all win
ming crews and banners to the clubs. To
the modification of Judge ii was voted 10
drop the senior double scull as a compul-
sorry race. though il may come of IL there
are two or more double sculis to compete.
This action was taken because the Vic
toria, Vancouver and Seattle clubs have
no pair oar scuils and there was no obvi-
Gus reason for presenting Portland with a
medal for taking a leisurely row OF a mile
and a half without competitors. as was
done last year.
There is a prospect OF the English feet
