LONG BRIDGE WILL
. HAVE ONE
: MORE REGATTA

When the skiff and barge races held
in connection with the Independence Day
celebration were rowed at Long Bridge
on July 1t was believed that the old
familiar landmark would never again be
the scene of a rowing contest. But the
championship regatta to be held at Long
Bridge on November bids fair to be
one of the most notable events that has
occurred there in recent years. 1t is I'M
fortunate that the South End Rowing
Club should have selected the same day
for high jinks at its quarters, as it con-
veys the impression that there is clash
between the South Ends and the regatta
committee.
AS regards holding high jinks on this
same day as the championship regatta
the South Ends say that it has been their
custom for several years to hold their
links at the clubhouse on the Sunday pre-
ceding election day. They have, however,

From it's very infancy there has been a
