MOTOR BOATS RACE TODAY.
American and British Vessels Will
TRY Conclusions.

NEW YORK. August 3.-Unless there is
another sudden change in the weather to-
day the race for the British international
motor boat trophy will be started at
Huntington at 2-3O O'Clock this afternoon
Inc Nolseley-Siddeley, owned by the
Duke of Westminster, and the Daimler IL
owned by Lord Howard de Walden will
race against the Dixie II, owned by E. j.
Schroeder: the Den, owned by Commodore
Joseph Hoadley. and the L. s. A., owned
py capt. Sheppard. These boats will go
three times around a triangle ten miles in
iength and will start across q line off
the Chateaux des Beau Arts.
yesterday was an ideal day for motor
boating. The wind went around to the
southwest, the water of the sound was
smooth and every one wished that yester-
days conditions had prevailed last Satur
day. big fleet of yachts gathered in the
harbor and many motor cars visited the
place. The Den was out. She dashed
about the harbOr, making lots of fuss, and
appeared to be going much better than she
really was. The Autowin II was out. and
she made several mile dashes that seemed
to indicate that she is very fast boat
and is now in running order. That she
should be got in shape just one day too
late rather accentuates the disappointment
of her owner and those who have been in
terested in her success.
Fentiman at the wheel, went around the
course at racing speed. 1t was the first
really good showing this boat has made.
She was sent here the second string of
the British. and is somewhat of an expert
ment. She is driven by three screws, and
never has raced. Since she arrived here
some tinkering has been done to get her
in shape, and yesterday was the first time
her three 16O-hOrsepOwer motors have
worked to perfection. AS she making
one of the turns DR.. Fentiman lost his
stop watch overheard. SO her actual time
is not known, bit those who wat ched her
from the shore and who timed her as best
they could say she went around the course
at a 30-knot clip If this is correct the
Daimler III will cut quite prominent fig
ure in todays contest.
The Wolseley- Siddeley kept at her moor
ings all day. Noel NJ Robbins who has
charge of this boat is satisfied with her
condition, and has not cared TO take any
chances Of disabling her before the race
The Dixie ii was hauled out for some re-
pairs. Running to Huntington Saturday
in the strong wind she opened some seams
and took in considerable water. The seas
also did other damage, which it was
thought best TO have repaired before the
race. Her motor is in fine shape, and she
will be we'll handled by Capt, Pierce in the
race. but just what she can do Is not
known. In her one trial she made c31
nautical miles an hour, and since then she
is said TO have run as high a s &c statute
miles an hour for short distance, but
she has been over the course only once.
If she can make S6 statute miles an hour
and keep it up for the whole distance she
in all probability will win the trophy.

GIRL SAVES SISTER.

ATLANTIC CITY, August 3.-Risking
her life to save that of her sister, Eva
Fountain, young and pretty. of Phila-

the Chelsea beach yesterday afternoon.
She held up Mary Fountain until the
arrival of help.
Both girls were badly exhausted, but

The two girls were in shallow water
when the elder girl was swept off her
feet and into the heavy current. which
has worried bathers and guards all
along the beach. Eva started after her
sister at once, and in a flash both were
over their heads.

mat the matchmakers are scratching

or Kelly when he met the cowboy. The
wise ones bet their money on him readily
and big surprise was promised-some-
thing to make the old-timers sit up with

The surprise was pulled off all right.
out poor Victor Hugo Kelly wasn't any
part of the surprise party save that he
nit the boards so hard with the back OF

for the chance blow stunt. and he made
Stanley look foolish as the wizard tried

the story has been told.
He will beat Papke. He did it once
and Ketchel always improves IN the sec
ond battle with a man. There are but
three men in the world who can give this
fellow battle, Sam Langford. Jack John
son and Tommy Burns. Ketchel mas a
wholesome respect for the two negroes
particularly the first named. He has
drawn the color line and Burns -eems to
be the only man who will ever have a
chance to stop him.
Ketchel will grow out of the middle
weight class in few months. and a
BurnS-K etchel fight doesn't seem impoS-
sibie. Jack O'Brien is hankering for a
crack at the speedy Michigander. and he
may be the first man to go after Ketchel
once the Papke fight is off the boards.
