Page Two.

At a meeting OF the board of direc'
tors of the Detroit Motor Boat club,
Wednesday night, it was decided that
in the long distance race to be held
next Saturday the speed boats, Class
r. would be sent around Belle Isle
il times. distance OF 80 miles. in
stead OF the original course across
Lake ST. Clair The wisdom OF this
course is emphasized by the uncertain
ty OF the weather TO which some OF
these fast boats would be subjected
on the open lake. which might prove
disastrous 10 both life and craft, mas
much as the majority of these speedy
racing machines are not seaworthy
boats In the open lake sense. OF the
word. Twas first proposed that
the regatta committee wait until Sat
urday morning In order to determine
what the weather would be that day
before inaugurating this change In
the program but this proviso was
abandoned on the ground that even
though weather conditions were pro-
pitious in the morning and that the
boats thereby make the uptrip In
safety, stormy weather might inter
vene and render the return either
precarious or impossible
An additional advantage III sendfng
the boats around the island will be the
spectacular effect for the public The
throngs on Belle Isle, the bridge and
the docks will be presented sight
OF absorbing interest in seeing these
swiftly flying boats coursing around

spects similar to a longdlstance bicy-

which the riders circle the laps in

The other three classes OF boats in
this long distance race will cross the
