...authorities at Springfield will be asked to do for the Regatta about the same as has always been done at Saratoga. They will be asked to have the course accurately surveyed, and buoyed at start and finish, before the arrival of the crews, and to agree to keep it clear of boats during the race; to build a Grand Stand at the finish, for which the price of admission shall not be more than fifty cents; to furnish a steamer to follow the race, whose speed shall be at least fourteen miles an hour, and which shall be ready...
