The first annual regatta of the Grim
son Boat Club of Isle of Hope was
sailed yesterday and it proved as sue
cessful as enjoyable.
A large number of entries took part
in it, the day was an ideal one for rae
ing, and excellent time was made.
Prizes, too, were offered in each class
just to make the event interesting,
though these were not needed to slim
ulate the friendly rivalry that exists
among the young shippers who make
Isle of Hope their headquarters, for
they would have battled as conscien-
tiously for the sake of pure sport as
they did with the prizes in view.
as near perfect as could have been
wished, a fact the more remarkable
when it is known that it was the first
affair of the kind that the young Off
GERS of the club have handled. The
boats were all measured in the morn-
ing by the official measurer and timer,
Mr.. A. Bonaud, and everything was
ready for start at the appointed
time, noon. How prompt this start
was is shown in the list of entries and
times.
River n Fine Spectacle.
The river, in fact the entire bluff
presented a beautiful spectacle just be-
fore the start. Flags floated from va
rious craft, from buildings and staffs.
particularly noticeable being a double
row of various flags that floated from
staff in front of the home of Mr.. ].
A. G. Carson.
The starting line was marked by a
white flag stationed in the marsh OPP
posite Barbee's pavilion. The course
was from that point to Priests Land
ing for the boats of the first and sec
ond classes, and to a stakeboat oppo-
site the Sisters, off Wilmington, for the
smaller craft. The first course is fif-
teen miles and the second ten.
