HUNDRED MILE LAKE STEAMBOAT RACE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF VESSELS TO CONTEST FOR
SUPREMACY.

Cleveland. Ohio. May 3O-Great interest is being
manifested in marine circles over the one hundred
mile steamboat to take place June on Lake
Erie between two of the fastest and most modern
vessels the inland They the big CIeve-
land and Buffalo liner City of Erie and the Tash-
moo, of the Star Line. of Detroit. The course will
be from stakeboat off this port to a stakeboat
station ten miles off Erie. Penn.
Both vessels practically of equal length. the
TashmOo being 800 feet all and the City of
Erie S24 feet over all. The Tashmoo may be Hkened
to the Hudson River style of side wheeers, while
the Erie is of broader beam and is the kind of
sidewheeler that is suited to heavy weather. The
Ertes beam over hull is 43 feet and guards IS
feet; the Tashmoos beam hull is 81 feet and
over guards Il feet the Eries displacement is 1000
tons and the TashmoOs 100 tons To Offset this
difference the Erie Is equipped with engines said
be capable of 6,G0 horsepower, against 2S00
horsepower for the TaShmOo. A further differ
ence exists in the fact that the Tashmoo is
equipped with inclined triple expansion engines,
while the Erie has the walking beam variety. The
Erie has more than twice the Tashmoo's engine
power, with considerably less than again her
displacement. Both vessels models in their
class Many large wagers have been made on the
result of the race.
