The boss of the kitchen has touched up her callcifflolnm- god the "rat" Ilfratly under he!‘ waterfall and adjusted her ribbons. The Missls has dolled herself up in her Sunday best. The lord of the manor has dcnuflcd the wurdfobc of the dress suit, the "plug hit" and "boiled shirt." And why! 1t is the jubilee .of. sport. The

It was 1n Charlottetown, Bop- tember 24. 1874. Old Sol uosc in a silvery splendor, radiant to a bright blue sky. a Divine gift to a. great celebration, andto The Hillsboro Boating Club, whose annual Regat- ta and entertainments were the ev- ents to allure and churn: the multi- tude. The brecu too was tcmpe or} u; the casion. A gentle ripple upon the almost quiet waters; sum- cinnt to fill the sails of the white winged fleet of contestants, and yet without turbulent white-caps ,0!- nnm waters w atsy the progress cf. the lightest skiff u. impelled w oursmen, glided gracefully on, whnther to victory or defeat.

The City was in holiday attire. Flags of all colors and designs rose and fell from countless flag staffs. Hundreds of ships and soiling croft were 1n holiday trim, decks scrub-n bed down and their colors waving with the breeze at aft-staff and mast-head. Her Majesty's ship Zephyr floated g-ailantly in mid- stream decorated in the insignia’: peace", the flags of all notions stretched from bowsprit to main truck and stern pinnacle in a. liter- al blaze of glory.

Wharves on the water front were alive with s vast multitude of spec- tators. In front of the Grand Stand the Band of the 87th Royal Irish Pusiieers (Halifax) enlivened the hours with strains of the sweetest music, whllc contestants putting the finishing touches on their various craft. were eager for their part in the contests. And what if the: mind played Gmy Owen.

etry and style, was ever the chief attraction, with ccull and row bouts and ccnocswportiug in and out often to thcswcet strains of music upon the waters and the hlppy cho- rus of maiden-and manly song.

The truth that "the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong” is exemplified here more than in any of the contests. Gambling as a means to get easy money was not a feature of age, but the enthusiast was ever willing to show faith in his favorite by a ‘small deposit to show his sincerity. "Snell" ls they fondly nicknamed the owner of "Lone star" was u general favorite, but the Lane's and the Lund's were the acknowledged leaders in the strategy of nautical skill. And so, ln the 20 foot heel lice, thcfllllenian" captained by Geo. Lund, first crossed the win- ning line with the "Morning Star", manoeuvmd by Captain Alex. Cam- eron took second money against a large number of contestants.

In the nlbcomers race Captain Lane's skill outwltted a. host of competitors with his “Butterfly? and Snelgrovels “Lone star" ln o close chase taking a. close second.

It was a scene of beauty and ex- citement, as yacht sports set sail to catch the only too gentle brews. each tacking us skill invited in the best dimction to gain a lap on competitors, one close hauling to the wind, another running "free sheet” to scud when opportuni offered, others trying the familiar strategy of taking the wind from mother's sails. and all with every inch of canvas spreading to the breeze, cutt g the water at the mow and ins lng into u. great white foam and leaving a. long trailbc- hind. some careening until the wavelets almost over-run the wash- boards, and finally returning, wing and wing on the home stretch, eager to hear the pistol shot-the signal of victory. Proudly they cross ed the line to the music of Brittanla Rules the Waves from comet. drum and cymbals of the Band of Royal Irish mmlleers.
