the regatta city, and scores ot boats will come from the great lakes. As the fleets progress the boats will be joined by others until the night of July 2, when the northern fleet anchors at Cassville, Wis., the northern rendezvous, and the southern fleet anchors at T3ellevue, the southern rendezvous. There will be hundreds of boats of all descriptions all ready to follow the reception fleet, which will come out from Dubuque to meet them, back Into the harbor the morning of July 3. The 3d will be devoted to the reception of visitors, and the big races start the afternoon of July 4. This day the 40foot class for such boats as "Dixie IV.," "Eph," "Red Top III.," "Hoosler Boy," "Disturber II.," "Vita II." and "Yankee" will race for the championship and prizes of $1,000 cash each and the Webb $1,000 sliver cup. The same day the 20-foot class, considered by many the most spectacular, will race, and speed as high as 40 miles an hour are promised for these boats, which are no longer than a fish pole. In the evening an illuminated boat parade will be held and an aquatic fireworks display, which it is promised will be the greatest ever held In the west.
