Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)A TUB RACE ON REGATTA DAY IN THE BAHAMAS. The poet who has recorded for us the maritime exploits of "the wise men of Gotha," cautiously, but justly, remarks that "if their boat had been stronger their cruise had been longer," and the same general statement would probably apply to the enterprising sportsmen whom we here see taking part in an exciting race upon the smooth waters of the Bahama lagoons. It is safe to prophesy that some, at any rate, of the diminutive craft will not pass the post; but the perils of shipwreck have doubtless been accepted as an inevitable risk by the competitors, and in the absence of sharks, which are not to be feared in these inland waters, a dip in the warm sea involves no serious danger.
