LAST CALL FOR SUPPORT
City's Executive Brings Advantages of

Mayor Surprenant who is still san-

"Believing that many of the enter-

oiu'lilv ntilcrtitiLl the imiMirtiin.v of the
holding of a regatta here this year and
knowing that, to a great extent, the fu
ture prosperity of the city depends upon
giving a suitable exhibition of aquatic
sport for the entertainment of the
thousands of Eastern visitors who will
come to the coast, and that the material
welfare of the city is at stake fit the
present time, as the chief executive of
this commonwealth I feci it my duty
to make a last appeal to the citizen to
assist flnaucially and give their hearty
co-operation to a project that will not
only benefit every business man in the
city, but will be one of the best adver
tisement of our grand natural resource
and advantages and I still have confi
dence in uiv fellow townsmen to believe
that they will come forward with the
same spirit that has actuated them in
the past and assist in giving our annual
regatta this year, which means mom .
to every citizen and the city in general

successful concluHion which I believe can
I1 done l'-v co-operation and per
sonal endeavor and with the implicit
confidence I have in the honorable g'-n-
tlemen who have signified their willing
ness to carry it to a successful issue,
I therefore ask, in the name of our fair
city for the support of every business
man and citizen toward the consumma
tion of this important project and fur
ther ask that aft persons interested
either meet with the committee or my
self and signify their willingness to in
crease their subscriptions and of those
who have not already subscrilied to do
so;' lteectfully submitted,
"J. W. Surprenant, Mayor."
Mayor Surprenant stated that several
person last night pledged to double
their subscription rather than have the
effort to hold the regatta prove futile.
In addition to this a great many persons
have announced their intention of ad
ding to the subscription list and while
everything yesterday pointed to the ut
ter failure of the project condition now
have taken a most favorable a.eet. So
soon as the citizens display proper in
tercat in the regatta and as-ist in swel
ling tho fund the regatta committee
will once more assume uianagcuiuut of
the affairs. .
Mayor Surprcnant's appeal is worthy
of careful consideration. Those who are
interested in the regatta and who wish
to subscribe to the fund may leave their
