having a regatta this year, and the
barge race on Aug. %, at the Elks' ex-
cursion, will probably be the last race
of the year. But with the excellent
start made this year in the direction OF
a now navy, the club is laying ambi-
tlous plans for next years work.
A big regatta will certainly be one OF
the features next year. Negotiations
are already being opened with the clubs
of the Mississippi Valley Rowing asso-
citation and the rowing clubs of San
francisco and Portland, looking to-
wards meeting at Salt Lake next
summer. Such a regatta has not been
held in many years, and it would be a
big thing for the city, as it would draw
crowds from all over the west. The
matter Will be worked up during the
coming fall and winter.
Whether the club will have its head
quarters at Saltair or Garfield next
year is largely matter of conjecture
No satisfactory arrangements have yet
been made with the management of
either resort, but the majority of the
members prefer to remain at Saltair, if
it is possible A club house may be
erected next spring, and this will tend
to increase interest in the club and its
work.

the present month. The organizers of

average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things OF great
value are always selected by counter
letters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
which has many imitators but no
equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and general de-
