Ithly rate The Canoe V Club committee met on Monday night andmade nal arrange`-` ments for a summer s program. The plan _ which has been . outlined gives promise for a general boom in canoeing and all patrons of aquatic entertainment can `look forward to" seeing the annual semi monthly regattas at the Beach being more keenly contested than ever. During -the fore part of August an excur- sion will be run to some point on Lake Simcoe, when the Canoe Club" will fur nish the chief attraction in the way of a regatta. On July 1st, tne season will be opened by a big program at the Beach, when the band will be in attend- ance and the following races contested : Lady and Gent's tandem, Three paddle, stern foremost, Gents tandem, four paddle, Ladies doubles, Helter skeltera Gents singles, Ladies singles, Six pad- dles, Four paddles, (boys) Tandem gun- ` wale, Tilting, Upset doubles, Hurry scurry, Boys doubles (under 17), Tug-e of-war, Men s tandem, (over 40 years oi age), Dugout vs. war canoe. As this is along program,` the races will start sharp at two o'clock. The tug-of-war promises some very exciting sport, but the feature of the races will likely be. the Dugout vs. war canoe race. Messrs. Wade, Stephens, Curran and Bow have consented to paddle against the war canoe with fteen paddlers. It will be a typical illustration of a band of Apaches in _ pursuitof four spies, the race being a half mile straight away. The Barrie Canoe Club will send representatives to compete in the races. Messrs. P. Wade and Dr. J. C. Moore `have very generously donated a hand- some gold medal to be won on Dominion Day, by the person scoring the highest percentage of points. Outsiders wish- ing to compete in the regatta must le there entry with the secretary by Sat- urday night, June 29. K Mesdamee M; Knapp and A. -0} Knapp drove. to Elliott. a Corners. on Saturday to visit their sister-in-law: Mrs. H.
