WILL CROSS TO ENGLAND
IN 35-FOOT POWER BOAT

NEW YORK, June 22.-Thomas
Fleming Day, of New York, is at Port
Clinton for the purpose of superintend-
ing the finishing touches and the
launching of the power boat Detroit
which has been built by the Matthews
Boat Company. for Commodore VIII
liam E. Scripps. of Detroit, and in
which Mr. Day will cross the Atlantic
ocean to England il July. 1t will be
remembered that Mr. Day last summer
sailed from Providence. R. l., to Rome
Italy, in a 25-fOot auxiliary yawl
The new power craft in which Mr.
Day will cross the Atlantic this sum-
mer was designed by John Wells of the
Matthews Boat Company, and has the
appearance of an enlarged lifebost.
Her length over all is 35 feet.
Detroit will carry a small rig, inclu-
ing a 32-foot mast on which will be
set a trysail. staysail and jib, to the
total area of 240 feet. She will carry a
squaresail and yard to be used in case
of necessity. The crew will consist of
five men, two in the engine room and
three on deck.
To store enough fuel for the 200
mile trip has been one of the problems
The boat will carry l,200 gallons of
gasoline and the tanks alone would
keep the craft from sinking if the gaso-
line were pumped out.
With so much gasoline aboard there
will be no smoking No tobacco pipes
or cigars will be allowed aboard, and
such matches as are carried will be UNI
der lock and key and handed out by the
skipper when he deems it absolutely
necessary.

ASK STEWARDS
To INVESTIGATE
SWEEPER Il RACE
BY. c. w. Williams.

n ONDON, June 22.-lt was
learned today that the stew
ards of the Jockey club have
been asked to conduct an inquiry
into the running of the American
colt Sweeper II in the derby. As
1 mentioned after that race, Sweep
er II did not run within fourteen
pounds of his real worth. and APP
peared to be "doped." That per
Torrance is still a main topic
among the members of the turf
world
The one name most frequently
mentioned in connection with the
race is Danny Maher, who rode the
colt. The American rider feels
keenly the slight put upon him
when Duryea engaged frankie
O'Neill to ride for the stable dur
ing the remainder of the season.
One of the leading sporting jour
nails comes out with the following
editorial:
"Regarding the fact that Sweep
or II ran like q dead horse in the
derby and considering that in his
trials he showed such remarkable
performances, 1t is in all fairness
TO his owner, trainer and jockey
that an investigation be held MI
Duryea is on terms of personal
friendship with most members of
the Jockey club, and his influence
is powerful. 1t is only proper that
some action should be taken to
stop the many reports that are be-
ing circulated about the race"
This journal also asserts that
before the rider for Sweeper II
was definitely decided upon a lead
ing bookmaker evinced anxiety
many times and tried his best to
find out the rider selected.
