Motor Boat Club last night, when
committees reported all arrangements

ing here for the event.

sured from the large number of boats
already entered, while it is expected
that a number OF others will be en-

THE CLASS A RACE.
Just now the greatest interest is
centered in the class A race. So far
there have been four entries in this
race, a new one being entered last
night of which nothing is known in
Pensacola. The boat is the Pattie
and she was entered by P. L. Brown.
No information was given regarding
the boat when she was entered, and
there was talk that the Pattie is the
dark horse in this race, about which
so much has been said. The others in
class A are the Detroit, Ora and Blue
Wing II, the latter, Il is claimed, baV-
