ST. JOHNS, n. F.. August 13.-The
shores of Quidividi lake, two miles
from the city, where few weeks ago
crowds assembled to watch the start
of the first successful nonstop trans
Atlantic airplane flight. were again
thronged with enthusiastic Newfound
landers today when the Prince of
Wales, on his official visit to this
colony, went to the lake for the an
nual regatta.
The crowds were in waiting long
before the royal guest was due and
when he reached the lake every point
of vantage was occupied, AS he came
into view a wave of cheering swept
along the line, gathering force until
thousands were yelling themselves
hoarse.
Rests Where Grandfather Slept.
After a program Of events which
kept him up until long after midnight
yesterday, the prince slept at govern
ment house in the room occupied in
1860 by his grandfather, the late King
Edward VII. when as Prince Of Wales
he visited Newfoundland. Early this
morning the prince went aboard the
British cruiser Dragon for breakfast
and at 10 o'clock made his second OFF,
cial landing in this city. A crowd
greeted him, repeating the enthusiast
tic reception OF yesterday. and all
along the route to the lake he receiv-
ed an ovation.
In witnessing the regatta, a fea-
ture of summer life here for nearly
seventy years. the prince was once
again following in the footsteps of
his grandfather. who was the guest
of honor at a similar event sixty
years ago. Particularly appropriate
was the presence of the Prince of
Wales today, for it marked the re-
vival of the event which had been
aba andoned during the period of hos
tilftfes.
All-Day Rscing Program.
The racing program occupied the
entire day. but the prince was re-
stricted to a two-hour visit. as he
embark on the battle cruiser Re-
nown, awaiting him at Conception
bay.
The prince and his party occupied a
special stand at the lake and greatly
enjoyed the spectacle, as the entire
course. three-Quarters of a milo in
length, with turn back to the start
ing point, was visible. After three
races were Fowed the royal party
drove back to the landing place and
embarked for st. John. N. b. The
ship sailed promptly at noon.
On his way through the village Of
Quidivfdi. a typical fishing hamlet.
the prince was greatly interested in
the hsh-curing process, which was
explained to him in detail. An arch
had been erected by the villagers in
his honor.

today whether yesterdays debate in
