 The most interesting feature of tho
 regatta Saturday, as illustrating the
 difference in the methods employed in
 the oyster business seventy years ago
 and those in vogue now will be the canoe races. There are three entries in this race so far the Dreadnaught, Cap tain Isaac Potter; Uncle Bina, Eugene Hamilton; and George Washington, George w. Holt. These boats will be sailed as of yore with lee boards. These dugouts are some of the original ones which were brought here from New York state forests in 1928 by Captain John Smith, who then lived on Front street. He made three trips in all the last two being in 1928 and 1880. The canoes were made from large selected white pine trees dug out and were used altogether for the oyster business be- fore the advent of the swifter sharpie. George Holt's boat, the George Wash ington as she is now called, made a trip to New London fifty years ago to carry Ruel Futile, who was to join whaler there. The captains who sail these canoes are old timers and will make this part of the race extremely interesting.
