The annual carnival OF the National
Association of Engine and Boat Manu-
f%acturers will be held this year on Man
hasset Bay about the end Of August.
This has been decided definitely and II
will be known as the National Motor
Boat Regatta. For a time It was thought
that It would follow the races for the
gold challenge cup, but such arrange
ments were not satisfactory to all par
ties. 40 the regatta was put over for
a month and the course will be on Man
hasset Bay with the Manhasset Bay
Yacht Club as the headquarters for the
, racing men and visitors.
The five championship trophies orig
inally offered by the National Associa-
| ton in 1904 nave been in active COM
been made In design and construction OF
| motor boats no that it has been neces-
sary to change the deeds of gift govern
ing these trophies.
The cup known as the Interstate
Trophy Is to be competed for this year
by hydroplanes with a minimum over
all length OF sixteen feet and a maximum
cylinder volume of $50 cubic inches for
four cycle motors and 6i5 cubic inches

the Power Bat Associations definition
OF a cruising boat with an over all
length of As feet and under and a

races will be necessary to decide this
event. which will be known as the ma.
