men will be entertained in beach homes.
Chief Interest in the regatta centers in
the meeting in the A class of Byron
Erkenbrecher's Detroit and the Yankee,
owned by Bronson and Spruance. The
Erkenbrecher yacht will be handled by
Capt. Howard A. Dodge. Capt. J. Nor
man Desman will be at the tiller of the
Yankee. As these two yachts havo not
previously met in competition and are
considered topnotchers with little differ
once to choose between them, it is ex
pected that they will furnish the most
exciting contest of the regatta.
In the B class a hot brush Is looked
for between tho Columbine, owned by
A. J. Mitchell of San Pedro; the Mon
soon, owned by Capt. Pugh, and Capt.
Walter Folsom's Mischief 11. The Col

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 17.— Although searchers
have been dragging the Merced river since
Sunday to recover tho dead body of Earl Smith,
the Pasadena young man who was drowned at
Newman Sunday, all efforts have proved
fruitless. A net has been stretched across the
mouth of tho Merced where It flows into the
San Joaquln to prevent the washing of the
body into the larger stream.
Mrs. Leonora Smith, the mother of tho un
fortunate young man, today received a letter
from his uncle, Hallowell Smith, with wh.nn
he lived, rolatlng tho particulars of the sad
drowning. It appears that Earl Smith, ac
companied by William Moorehead. a young
friend, went bathing In tho Merced river, a
short distance above its mouth, and were
swimming Bide by side, when a launch floated
by them. Each of the boys caught hold of a
rope attached to the stern of the launch and
floated with it for a while, when suddenly
younc S*mith dropped the rope and sank,
whether from cramps or some paralytic stroke
cannot be told. The water was derp and his
comrade was unable to rescue him. With
the net at the mcuth of the river it is hoped
that tho body may finally bo recovered.
