tiruanct of the fine weather now prevailing
the coronation Henley regatta promises to
be a record from the point of view of those
who regard II as Il society picnic. Launches,
drags, motor cars and trains emptied

today, and the town accommodation was
taxed to provide even shelter for those
willing to pay the exorbitant charges pre-
vailing. The club enclosures occupied the
choice positions on the Bucks shore, while
below the picturesque h0useboats. lavishiy
adorned with flags and flowers made cap
itaI show. Ladies were present in great
numbers, all in their brightest and ARREST
summer costumes. The heat was oppres-
siye, the sky was Cl0udless and there was
little movement in the air. Consequently
everybody able to obtain any kind of craft
was on the river. The Americans interest
in the regatta was enhanced by the fact
that a number of their c0untrymen were
members Of the various English crews. d.
