Harry Holman notes at his website that the Hillsboro Boating Club operated a popular Regatta at Charlottetown as far back as at least 1874. Like today, the 1874 Regatta attracted "fast boats from various towns and settlements on the coast". Back then they followed the rules of the Royal Halifax Yacht Club. A grand stand was erected at Connolly's Wharf for the public to watch the races. During a week of festivities, they held a public dance in the Drill Shed, a Grand Ball and a Concert.
