tators, while Manchester bay was dot
ted with motor boats of all sizes
The boats We're all handicapped, the
handicapping being based upon speed
showed in trials. By mile of the races,
any boat was allowed to make in the
race up to three minutes better than
her trial time, but if it exceeded this,
it was debarred. This rule played an
important part in the race of the first
class the two fastest boats being dis
qualified.
In the frs class race, the AtOsiS,
owned by B. H. Norris. made by far
the fastest time, the boat being strictly
of the racing type and of beautiful
model. BY corrected time. the Mavour-
neen. r. 3. Martin, won first prize and
| received the "Burleigh cup" While sec
| ond prize went to the Bingo, the Cole
Foster boat. The Sailor Capt. Charles
S. Hichburn, was disabled while COM
pleting the last lap of the first half of
| the course and was forced to retire.
In the second class, Thirteen, Captain
Robert Partridge's speedy boat, easily
| carried away the honors. and received
| the "kinSman Cup" Second prize will
go to the Dona, Captain Frank f.
| Smith.
The races were held over a triangular
2R-mile course. the boats going around
| twice. The events furnished much
sport, both to the spectators and the
yachtsmen and too much credit cannot
