CARNIVAL REGATTA

RECORD ENTRIES. Amazing entries have been received for the Otago Bowing Association’s annual regatta to & held in Dunedin Harbour on Friday, February 11. Entries have been received from Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Invercargill, Blufi, Riverton, and all the local clubs, making an aggregate entry of 107. In one race—Youths’ Fours—there are 12 crews entered, and this will be the largest number, of contestants in any four-oared race ever' held in New Zealand. In fact, taking the entries on the whole, it will undoubtedly be the biggest regatta ever seen in the dominion.
