When bigger and better regattas
are promoted and enjoyed, the
Chesapeake and Potomac Power
Boat Association will put them
over. That's the impression thou
sands of Washingtonians and
other water sportsrnen and fans
from Maryland and Virginia have
today. following the conclusion of
the fine twoday third annual
Tricity regatta at Herald Harbor
yesterday.
Churning the waters Of the Sew
ern in the beautiful Herald Har-
Dor during the % races of the two
day meeting into Silvery spray
from the flying wakes of the
speedy. trim craft. countless thrills
were provided the thousands of
fans who lined the banks of the
river and the others who watched
the races from their own boats
out on the water.
Cruisers and Speedboats CON-
bined to provide the thrills for
the crowd, but it was the latter
that stole the show. These little
speedsters Skimming over the top
of the water at break-neck speed
and flying around the buOyS like
birds on wing, some times capSiz-
ing. but more often Strengthening
out to speed on down the course,
put plenty Of kick into the pro-
gram.
And so well run was the en-
tire program that there was
never q minute when time
Jagged. Races followed each
other on minute schedule, as
the hard-wOrking officials ham
died matters perfectly. The
latter were aided by the u. S.
S. Apache and its fine crew
in putting over the regatta so
successfully.
The climax Of the regatta
came last night when officials
and contestants gathered at a
celebration banquet when so
beautiful trophies were awarded
to the successful contestants.
Speeches were brief and the
whole matter was expeditiously
handled due to the foresight and
thoughtfulnesS of Commodore
Edmund F. Jewell, Vice Commo-
dore William C.. Shelton and,
Toastmaster Nicholas j. Wheian.
The feature race of the entire
program from the standpoint of
speed and thrills took place in
