REGATTA WEEK AT COWES.
ONLY Fine weather Needed To In
sure the Success of the foyni
Yacht SquadrOn's Regatta.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 5.-Re-
gatta week opened with every pros
pect of a record meeting and only
fine weather needed to secure the
success of the Royal Yacht Squad
ron's racing season. The presence OF
the king has caused an added inter-
est to be taken in the event. There
was much speculation as to the per-
Torrance of the German emperor's
Meteor III, which was to hoist her
racing flag for the first time in Brit
ish waters.
The racing for yachts of over 70
feet proved a disappointment, the
Meteor and George Waetjens' Nava-
hoe both being scratched. The Sy-
barita, owned by M. B. Kennedy, OF
Glasgow, sailed over the course alone.
The king was on the deck of the
Victoria and Albert all morning,
watching the yachts start.

arms Sunday night. The pickets IN

stealthily approach the horses, ana
he was commanded to stop. he
probably did not see the sentry, De
cause the instant he heard the SOL
dier's command the prowler turned
and fed down the side of the hill.
Three bullets were sent after hlm'out
he escaped. The sentry on the next
most also saw a man runRlng IN the

ing aroused the guard and the bugle
call to arms was Immediately sound
ed. The whole regiment was quickly
in line. and Co. IL was sent out to IN
yestigate, but the mysterious person
had disappeared. After that, the men
were not again disturbed. Col. HoH-
man is of the opinion that the IN
truders were about to make IN attack
on the horses by hamstrlnglng or oth-
erwise iniuring them to as to make
the animals useless. He is sorry the
strangers were not captured or Grip
pied by the sentries' bullets. He con-
siders it an extremely severe otfense
to iniure the horses.
The camp was quiet Monday. Both
regiments were put through drill anu
other camp routine. The commands
have been indulgilng in some test
maneuvers. The Eighth regiment, on
