greater breadth and draft than their rivals. All 
rate well up to the maximum 32ft., and the dis¬ 
placement varies. The matter of a few hundred 
pounds weight of hull is of no real moment in 
a well proportioned boat, so this matters little.

Tilford Cup. 
The Regatta Committee of the Atlantic Y. C. 
announces the presentation of a valuable cup 
for a contest between yachts not under 110ft. nor

modore Frank L. Tilford. This cup, value $500, 
is to become the property of the owner of the 
winning yacht. Yachts of the screw schooner- 
rig type, clipper stem and fantail stern, propelled 
by reciprocating engines, enrolled in any recog¬ 
nized yacht club afe eligible to enter. Entries 
must be filed with the Regatta Committee by 12

Y. C. to the Scotland Eight Vessel and return, 
twice around, distance 52 nautical miles. 
National Motor Boat Carnival. 
The National Motor Boat Carnival, the great 
national event in the motor boat sport, will 
without doubt prove the greatest event of the 
year, from the great and increasing interest 
that is shown by the larger number of requests 
made from day to day for entry blanks. The 
carnival occurs during the race week of the 
Motor Boat Club of America, whose club sta¬ 
tion is located at 112th street and Hudson 
River, New York city. It will be from this 
point that all races will start from and finish. 
One of the many who have requested that their 
boat be entered is Mr. Richard Croker, Jr., 
who desires to secure the blue ribbon event in 
motor boating, the world’s championship in¬ 
ternational trophy, which was won last year 
by Dixie, then owned by Mr. E. R. Thomas. 
Mr. Croker’s boat was designed and built by 
Capt. Nat Herreshoff; and if all reports are 
true, will be a hard one to beat. Another fast 
boat is said to be the challenger this year for 
this trophy, Irene, owned by Mr. John F. An¬ 
derson, of the Corinthian Y. C. of Philadelphia, 
for which thirty miles has been claimed as her 
speed. Others who will be found in the same 
class will be Dixie, Sparrow, Den, Panhard and 
several others who have not appeared this sea¬ 
son in any event, and this particular event should 
prove one of the most interesting, as well as 
hotly contested, that has ever taken place in 
this or possibly any other country. 
All events are to be held on the Hudson River, 
commencing the week of Sept. 10. Reliability 
trials for all types of boats wil start the week’s 
sport on Monday; on Tuesday, Sept. II, will be 
the long distance races for both high-speed boats 
and pleasure craft, the high-speed boats taking 
the longer course to Poughkeepsie and return, 
and the slower boats going but half the distance 
and returning. The record for the longer dis¬ 
tance established by Xpdnc two years ago, when 
she traveled 118.6 nautical miles at an average 
speed of 26.29 statute miles, has never been 
broken, and every attempt will be made on this 
occasion to lower the record. Xpdnc will, how¬ 
ever, be one of the contestants, and from all ac¬ 
counts will be able to lower her former mark. 
Wednesday, Sept 12, will be Ladies’ Day, the 
events being water sports of all kinds; races 
for yacht tenders, dinghies, etc. Also the fol¬ 
lowing championship events: Mile, with stand¬ 
ing and flying starts. Record for the distance 
made at Monaco, 2m. 25s., or 28.6 statute miles 
—standing start. Kilometer, both standing and 
flying starts. Record for the distance, im. 10 
3-5S., or an average of 31.8 statute miles. The 
boat taking part in these latter events that wins 
and succeeds in breaking these records will be 
awarded a special prize. 
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 to 
15, will be races for the world’s international, 
national and interstate championship; national 
motor yacht championship, and national 
cabin launch championship, as well as numer¬ 
ous other events for boats other than of the 
high-speed type. 
On the evening of Saturday, Sept. 15, will be 
held a Venetian fete, in which will be included 
a nautical parade of all types- of craft, steam 
yachts, auxiliary craft, tenders, and all types 
of motor boats. Handsome prizes are to be 
awarded the two best illuminated boats in the 
entire fleet, and handsome prizes also to be 
awarded the boats making the finest decorative 
display. It is expected that there will be at 
least 150 or more boats in line. The week’s 
event will be closed with a grand pyrotechnic 
display. Entry blanks , and full particulars will 
be gladly furnished on application to Mr. Hugh 
S. Gambel, Secretary, 314 Madison avenue, New 
York city, or at the club station, 112th street 
and Hudson River. H. S. Gambel.

Newport 15-Footers. 
Wednesday, Aug. 29. 
In a race between 15-footers at Newport yesterday 
afternoon Eaglet, owned and sailed by William Gros- 
venor, was the winner. There were six boats in the race, 
which was sailed over a triangular course of 8 miles in 
a light S.W. wind. The boats were well bunched, and it 
was hard to pick a winner until the little racers hauled 
on the wind, when Eaglet forged into the windward 
position, which place she held to the finish. 
One of the boats was sailed by a young lady, Miss 
Morgan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin D. Morgan, 
and although she did not get a place in the race, she 
showed that she knew how to handle a boat. The sum¬ 
mary follows, start, 3:12:

A. C. A. 
The twenty-seventh annual camp of the Ameri¬ 
can Canoe Association, held at Sugar Island in 
the St. Lawrence, closed on Friday, August 24, 
after two 'weeks of thoroughly enjoyable racing, 
camping and general fun. The weather was per¬ 
fect, save for one afternoon and one night when 
rain and high winds prevailed. 
Commodore Quick proved to be all that was 
expected of him, and his camp will long live in 
the memory of those who attended as one ruled 
by loyalty, rather than discipline. The best of 
feeling prevailed at all times, and many jolly 
reunions were held, due in a large measure to 
the presence of many of the older members of 
the Association. 
The Commodore-elect, George P. Douglass, is 
well known to the A. C. A. at large, having 
been a sailor in the early ’go’s, the winner of the 
Record in 1890, 1893 and 1897, and Secretary- 
Treasurer in 1894. His election, and that of W. 
A. Furman, of the Park Island Canoe Associa¬ 
tion, of Trenton, N. J., as Secretary, with the 
choice of Sugar Island for the camp of 1907, 
insure another successful year from every point 
of view. 
The Atlantic Division elected these officers: 
Vice-Commodore, Mat. Ohlmeyer, Knicker¬ 
bocker C. C., New York; Rear-Commodore, Clif¬ 
ton T. Mitchell, Red Dragon C. C., Philadelphia; 
Purser, George A. Stark, Hiawatha C. C., New 
York Gity; Executive Committee, IT L. Quick, 
Yonkers C. C.; L. C. Kretzmer, Knickerbocker 
C. C.; P. F. Hogan, Brooklyn C. C.; D. B. Good- 
sell, N. Y. C. C. 
The sailing trophy was won by W. J. Ladd, 
of Winchester, Mass., second and third places 
going to Messrs. Murphy and Moot of the same 
club. 
The new Mab sailing trophy, presented by 
Charles E. Archbald, of Montreal, was won by 
I-I. Lansing Quick. The A. C. A. paddling trophy 
was won by J. R. Dickson of the Admiralty 
Canoe Club, A. G. Mather of the Medford Boat 
Club being second. Note: Complete report of 
the races in detail will appear in the next issue. 
The Dolphin trophy was presented to F. C. 
Moore of the N. Y. C. C., he having won it more 
years than any other competitor. The number 
of entries in the several races were unusually 
large; in fact the regatta was more successful than 
any held within the last decade. 
The annual executive committee will be held in 
New York on some date in October to be an¬ 
nounced.
