TAFT WILL TURN
SPADE OF EARTH
PRESIDENT TO DEDICATE HIGH
SCHOOL SITE
Tickets for Banquet Are Selling Fast
and 1t Is Assured That Every
Seat at Table Will
Be Taken

President Taft will turn the first
shOvelful of earth for the new $150,O0O
addition to the Polytechnic high school
when he comes here for his two day 5
visit Monday and Tuesday. The fol-
lowing telegram received yester-
day at committee headquarters in the
chamber of commerce building makes
the plan certain:
Tracy, Cal, Oct. 6.
Willis H. Booth,
Los Angeles, Cal:
The president has no objection
to dedicating school site provided
it meets with approval of commit
tee. In any case, exercises must
not exceed ten minutes.
A. w. BUTT,
Aide to the president.
The plan is to halt the presidential
procession as it arrives at the school
grounds, and have the president turn
the first earth for the new building.
1t is planned to have everything in
such readiness that the exercises will
take not more than five minutes, unless
the president wishes to say q few
words to those gathered around the site
for the ceremony. The parade will
probably reach the high school grounds
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Orphans to See Taft
Arrangements are being made by
Joseph Mesmer to have all the mem
bers of the various orphanages massed
on a stand at the Temple block. This
will give the children an excellent op-
portunity of seeing the nations chief

Decorating the streets and buildings
is now in progress. Dealers in decora-
tions report an increasingly large sale
of flags and bunting to householders
signifying that residences will have
festive appearance while president
Taft is here.

FAIR REGATTA
GREAT EVENT
MORE THAN A SCORE OF LOCAL
BOATS AND MANY FOREIGN
CRAFT TO ENTER-oFFICIALS
OF RACE ANNoUNcED-soME
SPEED SURPRISES PROBABLE.

At the request of the Tri- County
Fair Association, the Pensacola Yacht
and Motor Boat Club has decided 70
hold a regatta off Magnolia Bluff,
where the fair will be held, and all
preliminary arrangements having been
concluded, it is therefore predicted
that this regatta will surpass anything
of the kind yet held in these waters.
Foreign speed boats have been asked
to participate with our local boats.
but owing to the late storm along the
Louisiana and Mississippi coasts, only
a few foreign entries have SO far been
scheduled, though the entry list will
not close until the report of the COM
mittee is received on Monday even
ing, the 18th instant, when a meeting
of the CLUB will be held at 1880 D. m.
at the Office of the Pensacola Gas Ell

arrangements for the regatta

from reports received, classes &C"
and ID" viii contain about a dozen

them seem to have something up
their sleeve for the other fellow IN
his class.
There will probably be FIVE races
held during the day, starting at L
o'clock, prompt, which will continue
throughout the afternoon.
Commodore Watson has made the
following appointments of officials to
serve during the regatta:
Judges-Lieut. e. w. Davis. OF the

Capt. John B. Guttman.
Timekeepers-John G.. Ward. Geo.

Referee-Capt. A. G. Moreno
Clerk OF Course-F. F. Bingham.
All have Signified their willingness
to serve and with an entry list of rs
to 80 local motor boats gives assUT-
ance OF a most successful regatta.
The Pensacola Yacht and Motor
Boat club, though in its infancy, has,
nevertheless, done more for aquatic
sports during its existence than any
thing of it's kind in the history OF
water sports on our waters has here
tofOre accomplished.
Commander Davis, Of the q. s. S.
PenrOse, has consented TO allow the
use of the PenTose for the judges,
and will follow the races to see there

anCe. If required.
The TTi-County Fair Association is
to be congratulated in securing this
regatta. which, to those visitors liv-
ing in the interior, will be well worth
