SCARED BY Rain
Crowd at Island City Boating
Races Misses the Social
Feature.
CONTEST is BEST YET HELD
Pointer First i'm Handicap Speed Test
There Being IL Starters
Ray Is Second.

The Island City Boating association
pulled off the most successful race OF
the year last evening when II launches
started in the handicap race of four
miles. A large crowd lined the banks
of the river to see the affair, but be.
fore it was over few drops of rain
fell, and the greater part of the spec
tators hurried to their homes, think
ing the storm would break in short
order The result was that the ladies
who were in charge of the sale of re
freshments did not reap the harvest
of nickels and dimes which their care

ranted. There will be more sociables
during the year, however, and those
who failed to patronize the stands last
evening will get another chance.
Pointer Wins First Prize.
The handicap race was won by the
Pointer, which covered the course in
81 minutes and 20 seconds. The win
ner had a handicap over the scratch
boat of IL minutes and 20 seconds.
The Ray, with handicap of IA min
utes and 30 seconds, earned the second
prize, and the Island City, with a hand
leap of Il minutes and 81 seconds.
was third. The handicaps were deter
mined in trial run over the course,
and the rule was that no boat could
exceed its speed in the trials by more
than ) per cent. This rule disqualified
the Iona. which finished first in the
race, as that launch went considerably
faster in its final run than it did in
its trial trip, and the increase was
more than 5 per cent. The othe!
