the Nim-Scamp, owned by Peterson
brothers of Davenport, finished first in
the five-mile race for 20-foot boats and

number of spectators assembled on the
river bank commanding a view of the

REVIEW OF RACES.
/ In the five-mile race for 20-foot
/ boats. an accident knocked out the
chances of the Lithia. II. V. Nelson,
! Moline, from the first place score.
/ While leading on the first lap, the boat
struck an obstacle in the course and
it was necessary for the crew to get
into the water in order to repair the
damage. Meanwhile the Scamp pass
ed into first place an then the Saint
Elmo trailed into second. The Siren
had a snap in winning the single cyl
iHder event, finishing the course more
than seven minutes ahead of the next
nearest boat. The races in the 26-foOt
class and in the free-for-an were as
closely contested and as prettily run
as races could be. The Water Witch
and the Scamp were nip and tuck all
the way around the course while all
ether boats followed close by.
The race for one cylinder boats,
scheduled for the morning, was post
pCned till afternoon. Prizes of mer'
chandise offered by members of the
association and by merchants of the
city will be distribute at the meeting
al the club Thursday evening. Ca
Beardsley's Mallard proved to be the
I
eest race of the day and The Argus
trophy, a silver loving cup, goes into
his possession till wrested away by {
faster craft.
