The committee on the river front
carnival of the United Boat Club has
decided to offer silver cups as prizes
along with valuable merchandise
prizes. The merchandise prizes will
consist of an order drawn in favor OF
the winner on any merchant in VIII
mington for the amount of the win
ner's prize.
From present indications this will
be the most successful carnival ever
held on local waters. AS il is to be an
affair for Wilmington, the judges in
vited to award the prizes will be city
and State officials and representative
business men. The following have
been invited to Judge the boats Con-
gressman Thomas w. Miller, Mayor
J. F. Price, General I. P. Wickersham,
Colonel w. q. Slower, Councilman Os-
car c. Draper, Ellwood Souder, ]. ].
Raskob and H. S. Schutt.
The committee is putting forth
effort to obtain all the entries pos
sible both from in and out of the city.
II is expected that there will be more
canoe enthusiasts this year than ever
before, as a special effort is being put
forth to obtain as many entries in this
class as possible. The route for
the canoes will be shorter this year
and will not be such a hard pull
against the tide.
The hearty cooperation shown by
the business people of the city will
be sure to put Wilmington permanent
ly on the water sports map. and at the
same time will demonstrate to the
people the necessity of having a river
front and yacht landing facilities
The parade will occur in the after
noon, after which open house will be
observed by the United Boat Club at
their clubhouse.
All boats will be illuminated and
anchor off the point during the even
ing, while the United boys will serve
luncheon after which an enter
tainment will be given.
The club has decided not to ask
for outside help in furnishing the
cash to finance the affair. This mat.
ter was taken up at the smoker or
Thursday night and from the liberia
response there will be very little
trouble in raising the amount neces
sary. There will be a committee meet
ing on Tuesday enening, at which tn,
final details will be decided.
