But undoubtedly the big day of the regatta is tomorrow. A long programme of events has been prepared and some very interesting and close races are expected. The first race and the most important of the day is the International Eights. Many predictions have been made in advance and although the World and Germany are still considered cofavourites, Scotland and England have come up in the regard of rowing followers and there is no reason why the finish should not be very hard fought, The Fours and Junior Fours will provide considerable interest from the international point of view. The climax of the Club and committee eights should end off a good day of sport.

A smaller tender supplied by Holts wharf will take the contestants who are taking part in the earlier races away earlier in the day,' this boat leaving at 9.30 am. The Wharf front has been decorated and a canvas awning erected for the benefit of those who wish to watch the regatta, every facility being of the best Catering. facilities including re freshments for guests and meals at noon are available at the wharf.
The tender which will bring the spectators back in the afternoon will leave Holts wharf at 430 pin. after the last race has been completed.
