RUSSELL REGATTA.
A DELIGHTFUL AQUATIC HOLIDAY
A great amount of interest has been aroused in the big regatta to be held at Russell on Saturday next A large number of rowing men from the various clubs of Auckland have entered for the outrigger races on the programme, aud are looking forward to a good time in the North. The Auckland yachtsmen and motor launch owners are also casting their thoughts towards Russell with pleasurable anticipation, and since there is every prospect of a spell of settled weather lasting over the holidays, many of them are making arrangements to pay a visit to the North. Word was re ceived in Auckland to-day from Mr. G. Hewin (secretary of the Rnasell Regatta) that it has been decided to put on an open launch race on the programme ir there is sufficient inducement from the Auckland owners. It would be of very great convenience to the regatta officials if the Auckland men wouid communicate with the regatta officials before Friday evening of their intention to be preseht at the regatta.
