MOTOR BOATS TO
OBSERVE NEW
RULES
GOVERNMENT TO ENFORCE LAW
REGULATING EQUIPMENT. NEW
LAW GOES INTO EFFECT ON
JULY FIRST.

All owners of motor boats in these
waters will be interested in circular
sent out by the department of COM
merce and labor calling attention to
the law regulating equipment for
motorboats, and stating that the law
will be strictly enforced after July 1.
The law was passed by congress
and approved June 9, 1910 1t makes
changes in and takes the place of the
several other laws previously passed
having the same purpose.
For the purpose of the law motor
boats are divided into classes l, and
3. Glass l. are boats less than 26
feet in length. Glass are boats be-
tween 26 and 40 feet long and class
boats between 40 and 65 feet. These
again are divided into boats carry
ing passengers, for hire and those
which do not The law requires that
the enforcement of the regulations
is to be done by the collectors of Gus
toms and other officers of the gov
ernment.
Boats in class I, carrying passen-
gers for hire are required to have
tie following equipment: A combina-
ton light forward and a white light
aft, whistle, life preservers for
everybody aboard, a licensed oper-
ator and means for extinguishing
gasoline. The requirements in this
class for boats not carrying passen-
gers for hire are the same as those
doing so except that no licensed oper-
ator is required.
In class 2, whether carrying pas
sengers for hire or not white lights
must be carried forward and aft, to-
gether with colored side lights,
whistle, bell and fog horn must be
provided, life preservers provided, a
licensed operator and means for ex-
tinguishing burning gasoline
The requirements for boats in class
3 are the same as in class 2, though
there are differences in the size of
the lights required, the size of the
bell, etc. Copies of the law can be
obtained at the custom house.

VISITORS WE RE
FRIGHTENED BY
THE GALE
MANY ExcuRsIoNlsTs SOUGHT
REFUGE IN EMPTY BOX CARS
WHEN 1T LOOKED STORMY ON
SUNDAY.

Loaded and empty box cars, rail
road sheds, doorways and every other
available place of safety was sought
by hundreds of excursionists m
Brunswick Sunday about noon, when
the little rain and wind storm came
up just as the excursionists were
boarding the Attaquin to go to st. Si-
mon.
People from the interior have an
idea that whenever it clouds up and
rains little in a coast city the result
is going to be disastrous, therefore,
many were there Sunday who thought
the end was near at hand The wind
did blow at high velocity for few
minutes and there was a serious look
in the heavy, dark clouds which over
hung the city, but the average Bruins
Wickian, who is accustomed to these
little weather disturbances, paid but
little attention to them.
1t was different with the excursion.
lists. Several empty box cars were
on sidetrack near the pier and the
visitors rushed to them as a place of
refuge. Some had already stepped
on the boat. but they lost little time
in leaving the steamer and rushing
into the cars, under the sheds and
into nearby doorways.
The little storm lasted Int a few
minutes, but many of the excursion
lists were SO friehtened that they de-
cided to spend the day in the city
and not go to the island.

RECORD CROWD
VISITED ISLAND
SUNDAY
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE wE%T
OVER TO RESORT To SPEND
THE DAY-ALL THE HOTELS
ARE NOW CROWDED.

Despite the fact that a number OF
people We're prevented from going to
the island owing to the rainstorm
which prevailed in the city shortly
after noon Sunday, it is estimated
that one of the largest crowds in the
history Of the resort, except, OF
course, on a special occasion or dur.
ing military encampment, visited
St Simon Sunday. The immense
crowd was made up from people aiong
the A., 3. & A. and Southern rail.
ways, together with the large number
who went over to the island from this
city.
The two railroads brought unusual
ly large excursions to the city. The
A., b. & A. had several coaches filed
to their capacity, while Southern
train No IA brought in two sleepers
and four day coaches, with every seat
and every berth occupied. While
some of these excursionists went to
Cumberland and Others remained in
the city, the great majority went over
to St Simon and the day was an un-
usually busy one with the various
hotels on the island.
Al the New Hotel St Simon every
room was occupied, and in many in.
stances two and three guests were
placed in one room. 1t was realized
more than ever that the hotel could
easily be crowded if there were so or
100 more rooms.
Al the pier the three hotels located
there were all crowded to their ca.
pacity, while every boarding house
and restaurant on the island had all
the visitors they could very well
care for.
The new hotel has been crowded
almost since tie opening day, and al
ready large number of visitors have
been turned away for the simple
fact that they could not be accommo-
dated. The Arnold house has also
been crowded, almost half of this ho-
tel being filled with the overflow from
the New Hotel st. Simon.
Though the season is merely be-
gun, the resort has been crowded and
it is expected that by the first of
July it will be almost impossible to
secure a desirable room on the island
There is no doubt but that the pres.
ent season will be the largest in the
history of st. Simon.

hall. That the game was q little
rough, as Manager Lang, of the All
Stars, says, is pGxting it mildly. Not
in the history of basketball in this
city has so fierce q contest ever been
seen. 1t was lively at the start but
grew warmer and warmer and by
the time 1t was almost at an end
several players were bruised, one
had been bitten and a number had
been engaged in fights.
The game opened with Litz, Lang,
Schwartz, s. Sarokin and Thorn on
the All Star team, and Pegnod, Be-
dell, Macan, Paugh and Henne Oh
the visiting squad. The All stars
started some lively work, forcing
the visitors to follow suit If they
had any presumption at all of win-
ming. The result was not alone live
ly and exciting play, but fast play
