The Regatta

So far as can be seen at present the regatta, which is to be held at Waihola tomorrow, bids fair to eclipse either of the last two years' fixtures. Splendid entries have been received, and the number of crews is expected to nearly double those who competed last year. All the Dunedin and Port Chalmers clubs, with the exception of the Otago Rowing Club, will be represented, in addition to which the Waihola Rowing Club and Taieri Amateur Rowing Club have also entered for several of the events. From a rowing point of view, therefore, there will be no lack of interest. Mr. Paterson, of the Lake Hotel, has made ample arrangements for the comfort of all his customers, and so nothing will be wanting on this score. The Staff has been got into thorough working order for the occassion, and will ply on the Lake all day, following the races. A first class band is coming from Dunedin, which will be a great draw for the music-loving public. It only remains for the weather to be favorable, and of this there appears every prospect at present, to make the regatta an unexampled success. We anticipate seeing a very large crowd of spectators on the shores of the lake on Saturday.

The following crews will represent the Waihola Club:-Waihola Plate: T. Adams (stroke); James Sinclair, T. Vilnoski, A. Redman; John Sinclair (stroke), F. Kroning, F. Henke, James Sinclair; C. Henke (stroke), A. Paterson, W. Robertson, John Sinclair; J. Chandler (stroke), R. Annis, J. Philip, F. Bungardt. Maidens: C. Henke (stroke), T. Vilnoski, A. Redman, C. Robertson.
