there are an abundance OF them. and
the ventilation is perfect.
The only time that the sun - not

Keokuk will be interested in the fol-
lowing dope received today from the
Peoria Power Boat Carnival asso-
citation OF Peoria, Ill, regarding the
big races which are to be pulled off
at that city on August 17-1S and 10.
AS number of motor boat enthusiasts
from this city will go to the Peoria
races, the following will no douDt
prove of much local interest to those
interested in power boating:
Peoria, it seems, has awakened to
the wonderful opportunities in the
way of water events its location on the
Illinois River anG Peoria Lake affords
and plans have been made by the Wa
ter Carnival Association composed OF
the city's progressive business men,
for a great August regatta of power
| boat races.
The program calls for three days
season of sports including, besides the
water events, a big balloon race and
| fireworks at night, making up what
| will, in all probability, be the three
biggest days Peoria has known in
many moons.
The Wetsern Power Boat Associa-
ton and the Illinois Valley Yacht Club
have planned great race meet on the
river on August 18th, 18th and 10th,
and this meet will bring to these wa
| tiers the fastest power boats between
/ Detroit and Kansas City, for the prizes
/ that have been hung up for these
races are decidedly fat totaling
1920 in cash and $3.50 in silver tro-
phies, making a 5000 prize package
to be won by either Peoria boats or
some Of those coming from foreign
waters.
On Tuesday the feature race will be
the 20.foot class race in which Miss

record Of 20 miles per hour, will com
