The first move of the season was taken
by the Riverton Yacht Club, on Wednes-
day night, when the Regatta Committee
met at the house of Albert Cook. All
Yacht captains were invited to attend for
the discussion of the evening hinged
mainly upon the classification of the diff
ferent craft, and the committee desired to
please the men who were to be principally
Several resolutions were made
which will be laid before the club at its
first meeting The most important of
these was the proposition to change the
rule which put all craft between 81 and %
feet in one class and all under 81 feet in
another. The observance of this rule
would divide the classes very unequally,
so it was advised that 90 feet be made the
limit of the two classes. The coming sea
son promises to be an unusually lively one
on the water At least "A boats will be
active in the races, and there is a possibil
ity of several more entering the club be-
fore the season opens. Mr.. Emmons,
owner of the jib and mainsail boat Kaloola,
that in view of the great variety
of craft in the club, it would be good pol
icy to have a number of handicap races
open to every club boat, the handicaps to
be decided by the regatta committee. The
novel idea was received with approval
and will probably be carried into effect.

tinuous this week will be given bill of
vaudeville declared to be fully equal to any
of the fine programmes offered at that
house during the 5o2 consecutive weeks it
has been open to the public. Rose Cogh-
Ian who is we'll remembered for her work
in the Legitimate, as we'll as for her
success more recently in vaudeville, will
be the stellar performer. Her Offering
will be one-act play by Frank Ferguson,
entitled ''The Ace of Trumps,' i'll the

such exquisite beauty as to rank them in
class by themselves. Mr.. Glendenning

we'll known paintings, reproducing them
with living people posed in a huge frame.
The background in each instance is con-
trived with great skill and the effects
gained are genuinely fine. "The Spirit

of st. Anthony" ''Music," Rock of
Ages and "The Arena" are among the
