225 HydropIone Has Doomed
Competition in Inbourds

To what extent that prediction has
been fulfilled is revealed in the an
nouncement by Charles F. Chapman,
secretary of the A. P. B. A. Racing
Commission, that lit owners, with
1875 boats, were officially listed in
this class at the start of the 1910
summer regatta campaign.
The success of the 225s has ex-
ceeded the fondest expectations of
the original class hackers who were
pleased with the registration of Is
boats during the initial season in
1894.
Today, easily the largest inboard
racing class in the country. the fleet
225 hydroplanes are found on every
.egatta front.
The rise in popularity of the 225 S
has been no more phenomenal than
the increase in speed recorded in
the class. Five years ago the 1-mile
record stood at 63 miles an hour,
but Jack Cooper of Kansas CITY,
Mo. made 874S5 mph. in an Of
fetal run at Picton, Ont, last sum-
mer. From 44l39 m.ph. in 1894
the class competitive speed now
stands at 70.81 m.ph.. also made bv
Cooper at Lakeland, Fla, last Feb
ruary.

By GEORGE HUBER.

Now that the series of northeast
ers seems to have left us, there's
good news coming from many fish
ing spots. Down in the bay and in
the Atlantic things are picking up
and the only place where angling
remains on the sad side is in the
Potomac and tributary rivers, where
the waters still are too muddy for
black bass.
Example of the pickup is supplied
by Capt. Crandall Trott of Shady
side. Earlier this week he had a
Washington group across to Bloody
Point Light and they chummed up
about 40 rock. Most of them were
small, but they were rock, neverthe-
less. Their stomachs were full of
the small shrimp used for chum.
showing that these stripers once
again are in an eating mood.
Capt. Harry WOODBURY. of Solo,
mons says that while they have
nothing spectacular down there,
the fishing is improving now that
the storms have left. Every day
they are picking up some trout and
rock and one boat on Wednesday
had a very good rock catch out
around Cedar Point. Even during
the northeasters fishing held up
fairly we'll down there, with most
of the catches being made in the
mouth of the PatuXent River.
Fishing is back in full force In
the lower Potomac, according to
our Leonardtown correspondent.
S. c. Wilson of Washington landed
40 large spot, trout and perch with
nothing more than a hand line of
the Leonardtown Wharf in Breton
Bay. Another catch of "a assorted
fish was noted in St. Clements Bay.
Even better was the haul made by
a Baltimore angler in the Patuxent
near Benedict. He had "a trout and

Hazardous Raft Used
By BraziIians for
Ocean Fishing
Stick to 'Jongodo,' Same
Type Of Float That
Served Ancestors
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press
FORTALEZA, Ceara, Brazil-A
f1at-bottomed raft, half the size of
its cotton sail, rose to the top Of
broad roller. -Four men clinging
to it shouted and waved with their
free hands to the American tourists
who, gawking from the deck of the
big steamer, thought their ship was
about to effect rescue.
But the four raft riders were
not the victims of a shipwreck.
They were sun-tanned fishermen
from Brazil's north coast, IA miles
out at sea on a float that looked
more suitable for millpond maneu-
vers They were only giving greet
ings.
Go Out Only IA Miles.
Their fathers, grandfathers and
great grandfathers way back to
before 100 did their ocean fishing
from just such RATS. Casualties
are surprisingly low.
The RATS are called "jangadas,"
and the fishermen are "jangadeiros"
Anybody who travels along Brazil's
north coast by ship Is sure to see
them. Fourteen miles out is about
their limit.
In the state of Ceara alone there
are about 500 jangadas and some
1000 jangadeiroS. Perhaps 10000
persons live on the products of
their work.
? A jangada has a more or less
standardized structure. 1t is about
80 feet long by 8 feet wide. The
mast, which has one beam, stands
about third of the way back from
the prov. The triangular sail, when
spread, extends far out behind the
craft.
Usually Use Hook and Line.
Fishing usually is with hook and
line, but when the sea is very calm
the men hang out nets.
When the Portuguese settlers first
came to Brazils north coast, they
found the Indians using a craft
much like the present-day jangada,
but propelled by oars. The sail
came into use as soon as cotton
cloth arrived in that section.
Often the jangadeiro who has set
out at sunrise and returned at
sunset is his own salesman, peddling
his wares through the streets.
Others sell to the fish markets.
Consumers who want to be sure
their fish is really fresh come down
to the beach to buy directly from
the jangadeiros.
The jangadeiro has inspired many
Brazilian poems, most notably
"Iracema," by Jose de Alencar.

RED BANK, N. j., Aug. 23.-En-
tries for the 10th annual National
Sweepstakes Regatta on the Shrews-
bury River here tomorrow and SUM-
day are pouring In at such a rate
that the 1899 gathering, which saw
149 boats competing and set an all
time record of 291 starters, will be
eclipsed.
Both inboard and cupboard en-
tries are we'll ahead of last year, the
inboard division being bolStered ma
terially by the fact that the national
title is at stake in the race for the
135-cubic-inch hydroplanes. and
that the Eastern championship will
be decided among the inboard run
abouts.
Gold Cup Boats Due.
The National Sweepstakes. As
mile test for single-engine craft, is
the feature event and this test of
three 15-mile heats, won last year
by S. Mortimer Auerbach's Emanci-
pator VIII, should provide thrilling
competition. Several Gold Cup
boats are expected to compete in
the sweepstakes event.
Fifteen 225-cubic- Inch hydro
planes, the Nations most popular
inboard racing class. will vie for the
Kings Trophy, and a number of
them will run in the struggle for the
handsome 30-inch bronze museum
piece that is the perpetual prize in
the sweepstakes.
Edison Hedges Of Atlantic City is
slated to defend his national 1875
crown in the tussle for the Inter-
state Trophy. He will face deter
mined opposition in a strong field
that includes Andy Crawford of
Washington, who early this year set
competitive standard of 532 miles
per hour for the class with Ed
mandy w.
Heavy Florida Entry.
A strong invasion from Florida
will mark the competition for the
81 hydroplanes, with five drivers
from st. Petersburg and one from
Fort Myers matching speed and
driving skill with Northern pilots.
Tom Chatfield's Scoundrel, which
recently set new speed figures for
the class over the mile and smile
routes. is expected to be on hand
to repel the Southerners, together
with Sam Crooks Dragon and
Byron Russells Rustic
The other inboard classes are all
strongly represented. Top-flight in
board runabout drivers will vie for
Eastern championship titles and the
two-heat race for the new Pacific
Coast one-design racing craft has
attracted a notable field, including
Mel Crook of Upper Montclair,
N. j., who returns to the scene Of
earlier sweepstakes racing triumphs
when he drove his Betty v to

NEW YORK, Aug. 20-They are

Any one who knows a sail yacht
at all well knows she is a definite
personality. She has moods and all

Regret Is General.
When a yacht which has lived
in the public mind as CALAMITY as
Rainbow did Is hacked and ham,
mered, a feeling of regret may be
supposed to be quite general. 1t will
be acute in the minds of all lovers
of sail-propelled craft, especially of
those yachtsmen who hold memo
ries of brave days when the masts
of huge windjammers lowered
against the horizon.
They all are gone now. This is
the era of the small sailing craft,
inexpensive to buy and not costly
to maintain. That is the reason
