ATHLETICS

Beginning August 70 there will oc.
cur on Lake Ontario. Off the harbor of
Charlotte. the fifth series Of races for
the Canada cup, which has come to be
recognized as one Of the most impor.
tant trophies for which the inland
yachtsmen compete. The Rochester
Yacht club, of Rochester N. Y, is the
defending organization, having won
the trophy in 1903 from the Royal
Canadian Yacht club, of Toronto, Can
ada, which is the challenger The first
contest for the cup was an invitation
match race given by the Lincoln Park
Yacht club, of Chicago, III. The boat
Canada, of the Royal Canadian Yacht
club, was victorious, and as holder
the club made the trophy a perpetual
one for international competition, nam,
ing it after the first winner. The de.
Tending yacht in the first struggle was

club challenged. trial races being held

THE CANADA CUP.

Beaver, of the Toronto club. In 1901
Invader as challenger succeeded in de,
feating Cadillac, the American de-
fender, and the trophy took another
journey across the lake. In 1903 the
Rochester Yacht club won with the
boat Inrondequoit from the defending
Strathcona, after a most sensational
series, in which three straight VIC
tories following two defeats saved the
day. Both the defending and chal-
longing clubs are putting in every eff
fort to bring victory in this years con-
test. Each side has built three boats
from which single representatives
must be selected. Trials for the pur-
pose Of determining the craft best
suited for the work are to be held by
the defending organization off Char
lotte and by the challengers off Toron-
to. For the trials, the Royal Canadian
Yacht club has put up $500 in prize
money, the three new creations only
being eligible. Other events, however,
will give the old cup creations, Beaver
and Invader, a chance at the newcom-
ers. Great interest is being manifest
ed on both sides of Lake Ontario re-
garding the races, and the series off
Charlotte in August is expected to be
the greatest ever held for the cup.

YANKEE MOTOR BOATS
FAST CRAFT WHICH WILL TRY
FOR FOREIGN TROPHY.
Will Meet in the Contests to Be Held
in ptember-British and French
Boats of Tremendous
Power.

America can build sailing yachts
which can beat the world, but whether
she will prove as successful when It
comes to motor boats remains to be
seen. Two craft are going to try for
the Harmsworth challenge cup this
fall. They are the Challenger, owned
by w. Gould Brokaw, and the Dixie,
the special hope and pride of E. r..
Thomas.
Motor boat racing is of comparative
ly recent date, and the development Of
this type of boat has received more at
tention in Europe than in America up
to the present time, and for this reason
the chances are against the Yankee
boats lifting the handsome prize. Just
as in automobile racing, it has been
found that French machines are
speedier, and French motorists more
skilled and daring, SO it may be found
in regard to the motor boats.
The famous British international
trophy, which is to be raced for by the
motor boats, was given by Sir Alfred
HarmsYorth, and is an open challenge
cup. 1t was won last year by the
French boat Trefie Quatre, which
was given the race, though beaten by
the Napier Minor, because the latter
had not been properly entered.
The first race this year is fixed for
September IL, and will be held in the
Bay of Arcachon, France, about 35
miles south of Bordeaux.
The conditions of this race permit
three boats from each country to try
for the trophy So much interest is
centered in the contest abroad that
England and France have each entered
more than their quota, and elimination

THE HARMswoRTH CHALLENGE

CUP.
trials will be necessary to select repre-
sentatives.
The race is limited to boats that do
not exceed 40 feet on the water line,
but there is no limit to the amount of
power that may be used, and the for
eigners have resorted to enormous en-
gines. The Dubonnet, which won the
Prince of Monaco cup, has engines of
SOO-horse power, and the Brooke l..
built in England, has the same power
England is going to make a supreme
effort to regain the trophy. The Napier
H., one of the British representatives,
has two huge engines of S0-horse
power each, and she is perfectly fiat
bottomed, so that she is driven over
the surface of the water instead of
through it. This boat is built entirely
of steel.
Both the Challenger and the Dixie
have shown near the mile-in-two-min-
utes' mark, and from their time rec
ords seem to have chance TO bring
the cup over here.
The start will be a flying one and
the distance will be from 80 to 35
nautical miles. There will be no sharp
turns and every boat will be put on
its merits of straight running. The
distance is suitable to both American
boats. But the question is whether
their 15O-horse power engines can
dSive their smooth bodies as fast as
their rivals, which have twice their
power.
These two Yankee motor boats have
been called freaks" over here, but
they are models compared to the queer
foreign craft. The Challenger has
proved her worth in both northern and
southern waters, and to-day Is queen
of Yankee high-speed boats.
The Dixie met with an accident in
the Indian Harbor races at Greenwich,
where she made her first appearance,
but her trials have shown her to be a
wonder. One of the conditions upon
which her owner agreed to accept her
was that she should develop sufficient
speed to beat the Challenger, and Clin-
ton II. Crane, who had designed the
latter, presumably was sure of what
he was about when he agreed to that
condition for the Dixie.
The big powerful foreign boats are
sure to show remarkable speed in the
coming race. but as Zig as their en-
gines are they will know they have
been in race when they meet the two
little Yankee flyers.

Not Darkest before Dawn.

The idea that the darkest hour is
just before the dawn is poetical but
incorrect. The darkest hour is mid
way between sunset and dawn, and
the legend is of piece with the
statement often made that the hour
preceding dawn is the coolest. In
many countries there is a fixed belief
that just before the break of day there
comes an ebb when nature grows cold
and pulseless and life fluttering in the
breast of the dying man finally ex-
pires. According to SCIENCE such dis
solution should occur between three
and four o'clock, investigation extend
ing over a period of several years hay
ing proved that the temperature is

daughter of Columbia Miss Sutton Is
one of family of four sisters, all Of
whom play tennis well. She is the
youngest of the four, and at an early
age showed remarkable ability at the
game Her skill developed rapidly
and she gained speed through frequent
matches against the men players of
California. Until a year ago she was
known in the east only by reputation.
She came to Philadelphia in June, 1904,
and entered for the American cham
pionship tournament, winning from
the most expert players of the country
without the loss of a set. The young
Californian sighed for other fields to
conquer after her victory at Philadel-
phia, and decided on a trip abroad.
She went over several weeks ahead OF
the American international team play
ers and made her first appearance
abroad in the northern championship
tournament at Liverpool, where she
won with flying colors. Her next at
tempt was at Wimbledon, where she
planned the effort of her life to try for
the A4l-IAuBAduu CldAhpAJubuApt WHICH
is virtually the championship Of the
world. The English critics have been
won over to her support gradually, and
she was a marked favorite among the
tennis-loving public as well as among
the large American colony in London,
which turned out in force to see her
battle for the English title. Her only
defeat was in the mixed doubles with
Holcombe Ward at Wimbledon, when
the pair lost to r. f. Doherty and one
of the strongest of the English women
players. Miss Sutton is a hard hitter,
her driving strokes being faster than /
any shown before by women players. |
The English girls tried to volley |
against her, but she hit the balls too
fast and passed them 30 often that |
they had to give up this form of attack |
and were soon outplayed at the back OF |
the court.
