FAIR HAVEN NOTES.

Many people over in this section like to see a regatta for power boats this summer. It is said that there are over forty of these craft here in Fair Haven and John J. Dayton, who has been a power in the launching of a number of Fair Haven regattas, has been making inquiry to see if he could not get them into race. He says that each owner thinks he has got the fast est boat and there is no great desire to race. He added that for the Fair Haven boats alone fleet of forty or fifty craft, an excellent regatta could be arranged. But he says there is so little interest that there Is no use to proceed in the matter. He believes that fund could be raised by sub scription to put out several prizes and he would be glad to aid in the matter if there was any disposition to race among the boat owners.
