Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-09-02

buoys were placed under the supervi-
sion of " Grant Forrer and G. NJ.
owes, of the executive committee.
The most northern buoy is opposite
the waterhouse and marks the start
of the half-mile war" canoe race.
Delay in the arrival of the Oldtown
canoes has caused some apprehension
among the students of the Central and
Steelton High Schools who will man
the craft while similar situation has
developed so far as the Kennebec
canoe for the Academy team is con-
cerned.
The courses will be the same for
all the races and a line of buoys mark
the outer limit which is on a direct
line from the third pier of the Market
street bridge. The quarter mile buoy
Will be opposite South street and the
finish for all the events will be in the
deep water about forty feet north of
the Market street bridge. The outer
line of the course will be about $50
yards from the river wall so that the
thousands that crowd on the city's
natural grandstand can readily see all
the events. Water of ample depth
extends throughout the swimming
courses
The speciality events will probably
all be run off in the water between
the Market and Walnut street bridges
or just above the latter viaduct. On
the finish line float, a big sign will be
erected bearing the number of the
event that is to be held much after
the flash letter program of a vaude-
vile show. These numerals will be
large enough to be seen from the
shore. The first event will be run off
at 1880 o'clock.
The outer line of the course will be
marked with flats and ropes and
motor policeboat will be on the job to
see that none other than contestants
or officials are permitted in the
course.
The decorated boat parade will be-
gin at Independence Island and every
canoelst and motorboatman on the
river has been urged to have his craft
adorned with lanterns or other deco
ration for the occasion. The process
slont because of the water conditions,
probably will not move further north
than Verbeke street and Will wind
down to below the Market street
bridge.
Red fire will help add a brilliant
erect and hundreds of sticks of this
type of pyrotechnic was purchased
yesterday by Mr.. Forrer for distribu-
Ilon among the canoeists. Just 500
Japanese lanterns and some 400 light
Wire frames, all provided by the com
mittee gratuitously for the benefit of
canoeists who can't or dent care to
go TO the expense of decoration them
serves, can be had by this evening at
any of the boat liveries.
A feature of the afternoon event
VIII be the aqua-planning by pretty
Misses Jane Agnes Krouse and Reba
Whiteman, two High School girl ath-
letes OF Williamsport. The former is
the daughter of President Charles C.
krouse, of the Williamsport Board of
Irade, ana the latter promised to ac-
