prize is no ones property up to date.
The course sailed over is triangular,
three and one-thirds miles to each leg
and three times around the course III
each race. One hour was the limit
given to constitute racing speed.
When the first boat came in over that
time the race was declared off. When
it is taken into consideration that the
thirty mile course was in straight
lines on the triangle, the boats really
had to cover forty to fifty miles with
in the hour limit During these con-
tests, on the most favorable part of
the course the boats would move with
frightful speed and eighty and ninety
miles an hour have been recorded.
The fastest time in any of the races
throughout the entire course-was
thirty minutes and fifteen seconds.

Each year boats are added to the

to the half hundred mark, including all
classes. 1t is a beautiful and interesting
sight to watch them fit back and forth, in

swallows on a summer day. If you never

fall of 1893 the citizens of Lake City,
Mimi, contributed a purse sufficient
to purchase handsome gold badge to
be awarded the winner in series of
races. There being no organized club
at the time, it was stipulated that a
boat should win three consecutive RAJ
ces before the badge should be held as
personal property.
This had a stimulating effect, and
many fine and fast boats were built
and met in close contest for the prize.

no one has been able TO win more than
two of the three. Dr. Harris has won
