Interest in the Midsummer Regatta
on the Increase.

Interest In the Midsummer Regatta
on the Increase.
Interest in the midsummer interclub
regatta increases as the event approaches
and much speculation is being INDUCED IN
as to the probable winners.
Thus far the Ramona is the only boat
entered in the first class and no COMPARE
son is possible.
In the second class, however, a number
of crack boats have been entered and hot
race is anticipated. Ell Sueno, Commodore
Leonard s new boat, is expected to carry oil
the honors, as in her recent brush with
the Emerald and other fast boats she easily
demonstrated her superiority. She is SAID
to be remarkably fast while going free.
