BOAT men BOOST
FOR centennial
Director General Benson Speaks Be-
fore Meeting Of Members OF
Island City Association.
MAY HAVE BIG CONTESTS HERE
Official of VI. Y. p. b. A. Working To-
wards This End-High Water
Hampers Activities of Club.

Director General George D. Benson
of the Fort Armstrong Centennial
celebration spoke before the members
of the Island City Boating association
at the monthly meeting held last night
at the club house at the foot of Twelfth
street. Mr.. Benson asked the hearty
cooperation of the club in the coming
event, and especially in the Venetian
Knights carnival, which is to be
staged in the water in connection with
the centennial. A great many boats
will be needed for the parade and the
club voted to help in every way pos
sible.
J, H. Sackrider, secretary of the
Mississippi Valley Power Boat asso-
citation, and chairman of the race COM
mlttee, was also present at the
meeting. Mr.. Sackrider discussed the
possibility of staging a power boat
race in connection with the celebration
in June and is going to work towards
this end. In case the plans so through
he will bring his own boat, The Black
Demon. here. He also hopes to get
the Disturber ", and Connors' two
Buffalo boats, The Courier and In
Quirer.
The annual regatta of the NJ. V. P.
B. A. is to be held at St Paul July a.
and 6. and Mr.. Sackrider hopes to
have some of the boats entered in that
meet stop off here to enter the races
High Water Handicap.
Although the 1916 season of the To-
cal club was opened May /, the mem
bers have been able to do but little OF
account of the high stage of the river.
The water is up to the club house now
and the current is too swift around the
point at Twelfth street to allow the
placing of the docks. Very few boats
hav yet been launched and it is not
probable that any more craft will be
until the water recedes. The members
did not touch upon the proposition to
incorporate the club at the session last
evening.
