The night was lovely, the moonlight | making it almost as bright as day. The water was calm as 4 will pond. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Masic for dancing was furnished by the “‘ String Band and many were the couples who “‘ tripped the) light fantastic toe.” Although there were between three and four hundred people abosrd, there was no crowding or crushing as | is sometimes seen, and after a most delightful sail the steamer arrived in town shortly be- | fore midnight. peewee A Dastarp.y Acr.—Last night, or early | this morning, some miscreant entered the South End Boating Club’s boat house and stole therefrom two of the row-locks belonging | to their new four-oared shell, which was entered for the race to take place at Pictou this afternoon. The thief left no clue what- ever, only the monkey wrench which he used in accomplishing this treacherous act being found on the floor, under the boat. What the miscreant’s motive was for so doing is hard to say, but he evidently intended to ruin the reputation of the oarsmen of the South End who are endeavoring to keep up the reputation of Charlottetown in aquatics, This mean, contemptible, dastardly act cannot be laid at the door of anyone but a villian, who, with not enough heart to;revenge himself on any one individual, took this underhand way of revenging his spite. Our only hope is that the coward will be captured and punished to the utmost extent of the law. We under- stand that the boat went, nevertheless, the crew agreeing to use two odd row-locks. 77 as ++ vru HOTEL ARRIVALS. HOTEL DAVIES.
