eager and willing to suffer any discom-
forts for the sake of securing a good
view. However there were very few

management had provided seats where
good view of the course could be had
The day was fine and the lake was
smoother than it has been at any of the
previous regattas. in fact there was
not enough wind to hold the sailing
race and it was consequently called off.
The features of the day were the
three-mile exhibition swim by Miss
Marion Newland. She was presented
with fine pennant in recognition of
her services. Another feature was the
exhibition two-mile course by Mr..
Dufrense of Georgeville in his hydro

on this course was four minutes and 81
seconds. 1t is estimated that there
were at least 125 power boats present
at the event and it presented specta-
Gle never before witnessed on the lake.
The Newport Concert band dispersed
music from the roof of one of the boat
houses. The dance in the evening was
a success in every way. There were
about $50 people in attendance, which,
