Fox Wins In
Sundays Race
Error on Part Of Heating. Master
OF Elk, Loses One Tank Of
Gasoline

A very interesting launch race tool
place Sunday afternoon between the
launches Elk, Fox and, Alexander, Jr
The Standard oil Company had offered
a tank of gasoline as prize for 4 race
during regatta week. but the race was
postponed until yesterday, A crowd OF
more than 1000 people assembled at the
grandstand to see the boats go over the
the course. c. A. Coolidge ofiiciated
as starter.
The Alexander was the first boat to
be sent away. She got rather a poor
start taking a long slanting cut across
the current for the red buoy that had
been agreed upon as the first turning
point. The Fox was started half min
ute later and got away in much better
shape The Elk followed the Fox two
minutes and Captain Keating started
like quarter horse. The difference
In the time Of the start OF the boats
represented their respective handicaps.
the Elk being the scratch launch. The
Alexander maintained her lead TO the
first mark and was just a trifie ahead
Of the Fox at the grandstand. Tnen
the Fox took sudden shoot and gained
a slight advantage. AS nearly as
could be judged from the grandstand,
the Elk had gained an even minute to
the first mark, distance of slightly
more than mile. Passing the grand
stand on the run to the west the Elk
had gained / minute "a seconds. AT
this stage of the race only 2 Ia miles
of the I miles had been run. and the
crowd picked Captain Keating's boat
for a sure winner.
The extreme western mark was of
Smith Point and the boats were out Of
sight of the crowd for the next so min
utes. The Fox was the first 10 come
in sight, the Alexander following clos
ely. The Elk could not be seen. The
Fox crossed the final mark 81 seconds
ahead of the Alexander, and the Elk
Al seconds behind the Alexander.
Captain Keating's timekeeper aboard
the Elk stated that the Elk rounded the
western mark 80 seconds behind the
Fox. The last named boat headed out
beyond the channel, the Alexander fol-
lowing. Captain Heating determined to
take a chance Of hugging the docks,
but the tide ran so strongly that he
had no possible show to win. This err
ror in Judgment unquestionably lost
him the race, for, had he followed the
other boats outside the channel and
maintained his speed. he would have
easily finished first
Besides the prize won by Captain
Reid of the Fox he also won $25 side
money wagered by the owner Of the
Alexander Mueller. The
Elk made the best fiat time around the
course, so minutes II seconds: the Fox
covered the miles In so minutes 20
seconds and the Alexander in an even
52 minutes. In distance the handicap Of
the Alexander over the Elk was about
3-S of a mile.
The following statement shows the
time of start and finish of the boats:
