A Fine Feature of
The Tri-County Fair.

The Journal, Of course, thinks the
first purpose Of the tri-county fair
should be the exhibition OF the re-
sources Of the section which will take
part in it. At the same time, ar
rangement should be made TO give
amusement to visitors when they tire
Of the more important features.
Toward this end the regatta com
mittee is doing good work, in that it
promises boat races and a night Pc
rade which will include motor boats
entered from all points along the east
gulf coast from Tampa to New Or
leans. To letters of enquiry, so the
committee say, several replies have
been received from some of the boat
clubs along the coast and others are
daily expected. New Orleans boats
will be here; Biloxi Will call a special
meeting OF its club to authorize entry
in the races and other organizations
will undoubtedly follow in quick sue
cession.
This regatta Will be one Of the best
amusement features Of the fair. The
