In addition to many of them being available at a modest charter charge to sportsmen from North Carolina and other states, many will drum up and bring their own parties here to enter in the event. Entry fees for the boats I and the smaller fees for the individuals will furnish a ! substantial foundation for a big and valuable list of prizes.
