oughly at Guerneville, and think the
course on Lake Bohemia an excelent one:
The regatta was quite successful, ana
produced some good contests. Inc &C

cient. there being a misunderstanding De-
tween the regatta committee and the
Cuerneyille people with regard to the
number of contestants and onclalS IoI
whom accommodations would be needeu.

n1ittee will itself take charge OF the Work
of occurring accommodations for the con-
testants.

Lake Bohemia is attributed by them 10
