The Sturgeon Point regatta on Sat- urday was early menaced with wet weather. In fact before the first steamer was due to leave, _light show- ers fell frOm the lowering heavens. But while suspense grew heavy. “109': heavens smiled into the anxious faces turned toward them, and, relenting, sent as fine a day as ever spread its splendors on the Point. Sky, temperature, r‘nd even the wind were propitious to the event The wind blew freshlyâ€"there were dingy races to be sailed ; and ‘out of the westâ€"for the canoe races re.- quired calm below toe send bar. For a few minutes in 'he afternoon the northern fringe of a heavy. shower that passed to southward, spatteredl the Point but inst enuugn to whet the crowd's appreciation of the sun- shine that promptly reappeared. Any lass skilled pilot at. that cloud's helm might have extended the aquatic features of the day too far up on land and drenched the shelter- less multitude. And there was a muhitude. Not since the last regptta nearly 20 years 'ago had so mam people been on the Point at once. The events on the program were with one or two exceptions contestedâ€"the sailing skiff race had only one entry ; two others offered after the hour for enter'mg and were not admxtted and the racc' was cancelled. Members of the To- ronto and Orillia canoe clubs, dex- terous in aquatic sports, were the chief contestants. If the greater} number of events were won by the; city boys, it is safe to say that they 1 would gladly have exchanged win-l nings with the Simcoe lads, who made dead and successful sets on sewn] of the best thingâ€"notably the war canoe race.

Meanwhile the paddling events were in lull blast below the lower wharf. Their-Were all well contestai. Chief interest centred in the {ouruade and way canoe races. The latter was qmte a dramatic spectacle not alone because of the 16 hrawny brown-arm- ed paddlers that manned each of the‘ three big black canoes, but also M1 cause 0! their suggmtion of the days when these crafts swept over the lake upon no holiday mission. The course was from a point a mile below the wharf. Two Toronto and one Orillia crew competed. It was a hard race. By a spurt at the outset the Oril- ‘l'ians got a lead that their opponents could not overtake, although just ‘before the close. one of the Toronto canoes was rapidly gaining. In the boy's race one canoe upset near the Iowa flag and a fours ‘canoe swamped while getting into position for the start. The Misses Allan and Grantham won the tandem ladies race. beating the Misses Dunsiord and Nasmyth-. In the crab race the contestant sits in the bow of his canoe, and to make :progress in that position presents [difficulties that those who have not tried it have not dreamt of. In the hurry-scurry race the canoes of the 'competitors were located a short disv tance out from the wharf. Their owners were required to run a little distance, leap 05 the wharf, swim to their canoes, get in and paddle back. These and the upset race and tilting tournament greatly pleased the spec- tators.
