fridge and Ring. cash prizes were
awarded in this race
The feature race of the afternoon,
however, was the Automatic Handi-
cap Race" in which there We're II
starters. The novelty of the race was,
that all of the boats should start at
the same time for a buoy located a
considerable distance down the lake,
and at the time. when the first boat
reached the buoy, all of the starters,
no matter how far down the course
they We're, should turn and so back TO
The starting point at q. speed not over
> per cent faster than their speed GO
ing othe buoy. This made very
fair handicap and all of the boats kept
within their speed limit. \ noticeable
point of this race was that all of the
boats had finished within one minute
after the first boat. The boats started
together, in a straight course for the
buoy. making a very pretty sight as
they went down the lake. The first
boat to reach the buoy was the "Al-
pha,n owned by Ralph Smith, making
the distance in minutes and 20 see
onds. Then all of the boats turned
and made for the finish boat. The
Psyche owned by William II.
Moves. finished first. followed closely
by the "Halcyon," owned by Harold
Hichborn, and the Alpha" owned by
Ralph Smith. The time of the race
was Is minutes and 5 seconds. Prizes
as fellows: LIST, Commodore cup; I'd,
boat clock; Sd. set of batteries.
Following this was the fitting contest
between the canoes of Clinton Moore and
Steven Meader against the canoe of Har-
old Partridge and Bert Farr. There were
three contests. two of which We're won by
Bert farr and Harold Partridge. The
fitting and sinking of the canoes fur
nished much amusement for the specta-
tors.
The last race of the afternoon was the
free-for-all, in which there were five
starters. The race was twice around the
triangular course. As the boats did not
start at the same time, they We're strung
out all along the course. but after the
first lap the alpha" owned by Ralph
Smith, took the lead and kept it until
the finish. The Psyche owned by w.
