Tomorrow will be the great day
among the oarsmen and the question
of superiority among the crews will be
| settled for another year. The three
clubs have had their crews at work
| for weeks getting ready for the event
and everything.
| The o. r. & L. Co., is doing every
thing possible TO make the peninsula
comfortable and pleasant for the peo-
pie who go down. Yesterday there was
large force of men at work cleaning
up the brush and placing the necessary
benches in position so that the people
may watch the races with comfort.
Captain Nelson, of the q. 5. ). Ben
nington has kindly loaned one OF the
launches for the use of the judges and
reporters.
The judges have not yet decided
whether they will act as timekeeper or
whether they will perform that duty
themselves. The boats in which the
races will be rowed are identical hav-

space. Yatchsmen are requested to an
Choir at the end of the course and far

starting will be by men in boats, each
shell being held until the starter gives

vailing and the difficulty met with in
securing a fair start.

the afternoon as the retail stores gen

course. G. B. Gray went around

secured the following names to a petit
ton to have the stores closed between
one and six p. m.
