AT THE START

For the second year in succession DIR.
Eugene Swayne yesterday brought homel
his cruiser Eugenia a winner in the,
Philadelphia Record trophy race Of the
Delaware River Yacht Racing Associa
tion, over the Ship John course. Last
year she carried the colors of the River
side Yacht Club, but this year she sailed
under the colors of her home club, the
! Flat Rock Motorboat Club This means
that while the trophy was won by the
same boat, it will be transferred from
Essington TO Flat Rock level, on the
Schuylkill
The race was one of the most impor-
tant ever held on the river The prom
ised list of 20 starters yesterday dwin-
died down to l5 and of those only l2I
finished Even this number is in excess
of anything held this year The contest
was filed with interesting features.
The first six boats to finish were IA
vorites in every respect and winners OF
various important trophies In this re-
spect it was a battle of champions The
six boats were the Eugenia, Picllaninny,
of Camden; Hattie Bert, of Farragut;
Eva Dor, of Columbia; Jenny S.. of
Yacht Club These six boats crossed the
finish line inside of 10 minutes and 10
seconds, one of the finest finishes in
river The entire l2 boats to finish were
little over an hour in crossing
Pickaninny. of Camden. one of the old
timers, and one which has not been ac-
tive for some time in the racing game.
49, A l.
second place on a close finish. The cor
rected time of Eugenia was 6.44.ls, ana
that of Pickaninny, 647.42.
The Kendrick trophy. for the boat
making the fastest time, regardless
of rating, donated by w Freeland
Kendrick and raced for the first time
yesterday. was won by Caprice, the
new V-bottom boat of Commodore e.
c. Johnson, of the Fairmount Yacht
Club Her elapsed time over the
course was Z hours, 55 minutes and
55 seconds. The next best elapsed
time was made by Black Joe. of the
Riverside Yacht Club. in S hours. 20
minutes and 8 seconds.
One disappointment of the day was
the baking Of the Gniwe, Commodore
Ewings boat. of Wilmington. which
developed some trouble just at the
start The Gniwe was looked upon
as one of the likely competitors.
Two boats became disabled down
the river and did not finish. One was
the boat of Charles Hieber. the Mas
cot, of the Columbia Club; and the
other was the Naomi, of the Riverside
Yacht Club. One was installed at
Artificial Island. and the other at
Reedy Island. Report of the boats
being in trouble was brought back by
the other racers, when Captain
Charles Shaw took his big glass cabin
cruiser and started down the river to
tow them in. No anxiety is felt for
the safety of the crew.
