1908 Hudson River Carnival - Observations & Statistics

Den ran with more Vim this year.
The visionary Vision was not visible to visitors.
Dixie II, Den and Vim only touched the high spots.
Mercury and Artful found a choice collection of floating logs.
The speeders shot the shoots as the Sarah Jenks went by.
It isn't every regatta that has a man-o'-war come and fire a salute for it.
You can Gambel that the races were started on time, and the races were run in old Colonial style.
How deep is the Hudson off 138th St.? Ask the man who had to haul up his anchor. Then dodge.
Many looked through glasses at the club, but no one could locate that Vision. Was it the fault of the glasses?
A statistician has figured out that the heavyweights of the club lost a total of 1,761 pounds, 8,314 ounces in climbing the 138th St. hill.
