Future Race Meetings.
The residents OF Belvedere and Tiburon
are talking of converting the lagoon back
of Tiburon into magnificent lake, replete
with all boating facilities.
Ii the scheme is carried through 1t will
prove great benefit to the oarsmen, as it
will give them an admirable course on
which to hold their regattas.
The lagoon is three miles long, half
mile wide, and will be made eight feet deep.
The water will always be as calm as a
mill pond, and the hills on each side will
eliminate the exertion of rowing against
any wind.
