The first regatta of the season, which
was held by the Analostan Boat Club
last Thursday afternoon. was not only
one OF the most successful, but one Of
the most enjoyable events held by the
club in years, and from present indica-
tions the next carnival that is planned
for the first week in August will un-
doubtedly meet with the same success.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed and
the large crowd of enthusiastic specta-
tors that lined the course in canoes and
the gallery Of the clubhouse was well
repaid for its trouble, for there was not
dull moment during the entire two
hours. The races were run of without
hitch, and Capt. Rankin Middleton
deserves much credit for his work.
An extensive programme is being ar
ranged for the regatta to be held the
first week in August. The races will
include single, double, and four-oared
shells, single and double canoes, out
riggers, and a number Of swimming
events.
The special smoker that was held at
the Washington Canoe Club last night
was a crowning success from every
standpoint and one of the largest crowds
that has been at the club this season
was on hand to enjoy the interesting
programme that was SO carefully ar
ranged by odelI Whipple. chairman of
the entertainment committee. Refresh
ments concluded the programme.

Washington Canoe Club, stated recently
