YACHT CLUB TO HOLD
LONG DISTANCE RACE
Holly Beach Club Has ARRANGED
for Interesting Contest for
July 26th

A meeting of the joint committees of
the Holly Beach Yacht club, the Cam
den Motor boat club and the Yachts.
mems club, Of Philadelphia, was held
recently at the latter club for the pur-
pose of arranging the details Tor the
long-distance power-boat endurance
race of the Holly Beach club from
Wild wood Crest to the Camden Motor
boat club, an estimated distance of 100
miles. Judge H. H. Voorhees, was
elected chairman and F. G. Menamin
secretary. 1t was decided to hold the
race on July 20, the start being from
Wildwood Crest, and a time limit of
ten hours was set, although it is antici-
pated that not much more than half
that time will be consumed by the
winner.
The Holly Beach Yacht club has
offered ten cups, to be competed for in
three groups under the rules of the
American Powerboat Association, viz,
those rating between so and 20, 70 and
so and 80 and over, with an additional
prize for the boat making the fastest
actual time. The race will be open to
all owners of sea boats rating about so
whose owners are members of any
recognized yacht club. The race is held
primarily to demonstrate the sea wor-
thiness of the modern speed boat.
The boats will start on their handi-
cap time, SO that the finish will deter
mine the winner, and there will not be
the necessity of working out afterward
the handicaps OF the different boats.
Arrangements will be made to have
relief boats stationed along the river,
and conveys will follow the contes-
tants, so that succo will be handy in
ase of accident. The Holly Beach
club has secured a specialist, and will
chart the course, and the competing
boats will be handicapped according to
this chart. The prizes will be awarded
the winners on the night of the race at
the Yachtsmen's club.
These committees were appointed:
Regatta-Dr. g. s. Street, chairman;
e. g. Headley, r. l.. Young, Frede-
rick Himmelein and John G. Wander
slice.
Entertainment-W. Clifford, chair
man; Harry L. Ogle, John Talley, John
Doyle and w. W. Rogers.

cream manufacturer, has also offered a
splendid cup for the first boat to arrive
in Camden.

some people claiming that they have an
cestors buried there and that the eDt r
prise of the Masons would be a desecra-

aud others against it, have put the city In

It is claimed by the latter faction that
the Vanderbilt family have ancestors
there and the family have been appealed
to t, uee their influence to stop the Ms-

family do not respond they will at least
be gratlfied to learn that their forefa.hers
are resting 10 such good and inoftensiVe
