Preparations are being made for
celebrating the Fourth of July and
among the features of the day will be
the holding of equatic sports on the
Ottens canal. There Will be power
boat races, tub race, sailing race and a
contest in swimming. Efforts are
being made to pull off a race for fat
men, in which the contestants will be
compelled to float on their backs, not
use their hands and depend on sails or
large open umbrellas as the method of
locomotion. The winner in all the o II
tests will be awarded a handsome prize.
The boat races should prove especially
interesting, as the large number of
craft that harbor in the canal should
insure a large entry list.
