Speedy cupboard hydroplanes and
Notwithstanding the fastest in this
section-will roar around the mile
course at the ferry landing Sunday to
provide thrills, and undoubtedly some
spills, for what is expected to be the
largest crowd ever attracted to the
valley. ~
Reports from other communities in
dictate that great deal of Interest is
being taken in the races and chat
there will be a general migration to
White Bluffs on that day.
Many Speedy Boats
A fleet of about Is Yakima boats,
mostly Glass A but including number
of the faster Glass G and Glass F
craft, will be here for the day, as will
several boats from other towns Of the
valley. Word from Wenatchee indi-
Gates that the fleet of Glass G boats
there, which ranks among the fastest
in this section and are Well-knoWn
all over the coast, will probably be here
to give the speedy Yakima boats run
for their money. Inquiries have also
been received from the owners Of the
Glass F boats there, including two coast
champions which are capable OF do
ing better than sixty miles an hour,
as to the terms of the event. Whether
or not they will be here is unknown
| Cash prizes, totaling $50, with top
prize being $780, will be given for the
| ,;,I~ II, act.y
mile races, two novelty races and a
| ten-mile free-for-all event.
In the speed races, each class will
run two heats, and to win first money,
a boat must take first place in each
race. Otherwise, the winning boats in
each heat will split the total prize
money for that event.
The relay race, which proved so
popular an event last year, will be
[ repeated this year. and there will be
an additional novelty race in the "bal-
loon buster" event which alone should
be worth the price Of admission.
Band Music, Refreshments
Between each event, and at other
times during the afternoon, the ever
popular White Bluffs Band, seated
right at the waters edge, will play
the favorite selections of the specta-
tors
Near the band stand and starting

sided over by Paul Schicka and his
assistants, which will furnish hot dogs,
hamburgers, coffee, pop and ice cream
to the crowd at the usual prices.

start promptly at one o'clock, will be
Is cents per person, with all grade
school and high school students being
admitted free, so that every family can
attend the event at only a fraction
Parking space will be provided on
the beach, and on the banks above
the beach, so that spectators can see
the races from their own cars. All
: side roads will be blocked off on that
day, by order of the county commits
: sioners, and there will be a number Of
, boys on hand to supervise the park
, ing, in order that there will be no con-
