Genevieve,
The yacht Rover has gone into winter
quarters in Oakland Creek.
The South Enders feel somewhat hurt
over the statement made in city paper
that they were responsible for the failure
of the Thanksgiving regatta. Nothing
could be more erroneous and unjust
Three weeks prior to the regatta it was
stated In these columns that the
South Enders, owing to the construction
OF the clubs handball court would not
participate in the regatta. When urged
by other clubs. the South Enders en-
tered mixed crew in the regatta, which
won a race. Tie Thanksgiving rega tia
was wholly social affair. There were
no specified races, and consequently the
regatta wasnot a failure.

ihuss them in the sports of rowing and
swim ming. Hereafter al the in installation

The first race for the TreadwelI diamond
medal will be held on the day that the
Dol phin Club diamond medal is raced for.
1t will be sure to furnish great excite

not willing to compete with such cracka-
