ed second in the 2OO-yard SWIM, one
Of the unofficial events provided to
fiji! out the afternoon.
Too much cannot be said Of the en-
tertainment provided for the visiting
! oarsmen ana their friends and the
same is true of the way in which the
regatta was conducted from the STAR.
Every event on the program worked
like a clock. started precisely on time
and Captain Douglas. ST., who had
charge of the work of getting the
crews onto the rive deserves no end
;of credit for his efficient work at the
boat house.
I The first race started exactly at
$50 O'Clock and the others followed
IT the exact time named on the pro
grams. The last race finished al 6
o'clock. the time slated to see the end
CT the contest and the crews hustled
into their clothes and were herded to
the Westminster building where an
larpetizing luncheon had been prepared
for them and where the regatta trop-
HES were distributed.
Immediately following the dinner.
they were directed to Elks' hall whore
a big dance furnished the entertain
merit during the remainder Of the
evening.
That the regatta was a big success
may be taken by the members of the
local committee as distinct feather
in their caps. Captain jim Douglas. Jr.
especially was one of the busiest men
in the city Saturday afternoon and
he was on the job all the time to see
that everything was kept going in
the right manner. Considerable credit
is also due TO Arthur II. Bryant, clerk
of the course, for the manner il which
he kept moving craft out of the way
Of the rowers and had the course
open at ali times.
Visitors from other cities were well
taken care of by the local club and
opinions expressed Saturday evenin"
were to the effect that the Old Do
minion club had furnished more real
entertainment for visiting delegations
than any other club in the associa-
tion
