ANKLE Deep FIRST
IN SECOND RACES
Repeats Sensational Perform
ance in Gold Challenge
Cup Event.

Alexander Bay, n. V, Aug. q
Repeating her sensational perform
ance of the day before the Ankle Deep
secured first place in the second days
races over the gold challenge cup of
the American Power Boat association.
The performance of Little Joker, OWL
ed by H. S. Ford of Nyack, N. Y,
representing the Tappan Zee, was the
surprise OF the afternoon. The little
hydroplane shot along like streak.
Her driver took the turns closely and
not losing an inch on them. The boat
easily secured second place.
The race was again a victory of
superior motive power. None of the
other boats could compete with the
three hundred horsepower of the
Ankle Deep.
A stiff wind was blowing and the
race was postponed a half hour in
the expectation that the wind might
subside. At o'clock, when the gun
was fired, there was still a fair breeze
and heavy sea.
The N1itt crossed the line first. The
other entries crowded close behind
The P. d. Q. III. met with engine trou
BILE and started eight minutes after the
others. The Sand Burr ILL.,, the entry
of the Atlantic Yacht club, did not
start.
The cup defender, the Nit III.
started well, but broke down before
the end of the first lap.
The breaking down of the Mitt III
and the late start of the P. D. Q. III
took away all possibility of the tropfI
