Hudson River — Sept. 10. 
The Reliability trials on the first day of the National 
Motor Boat Carnival were started on Monday at 11:35.

other information. The river was in a nasty condi¬

run by the boats, but no accidents were recorded.

the figures. 
Second Day — Sept. 11. 
The second day’s racing in the Motor Boat Club of 
America was postponed an hour, and was started off 
112th street at 9:30. The race was to Poughkeepsie and 
return, 115% nautical miles. The winners were C. J. 
Swain’s Sparrow, first; Payne Whitney’s Artful, second, 
and A. D. Proctor Smith’s Simplex VI., third. The 
day was ideal for such a contest, and the times were 
good, though there was a head tide both ways.

The thunderstorm on Thursday did not prevent the 
running off of six races in the Motor Boat Carnival oft 
112th street. The burning of Mercedes, owned by Mr. 
H. L. Bowden, of Boston, gave some excitement. The

Fifth Day—Sept. 14. 
There was a strong wind and rough water for the boats 
on the Hudson. There was a most unfortunate accident 
in one of the races, which resulted in the drowning of 
Mr. Odione and Ferry, his engineer, from Vesuvius. 
From reports of the accident, there were no life pre¬ 
servers aboard, and the men jumped overboard with 
oilers on, which gave them no chance to save themselves. 
The times, considering the weather, were good, and the 
breakdowns fewer. The summaries:

The Carnival came to a close on Saturday, with five 
events, among which the Standard, now equipped with a 
300 horsepower double-acting machine, was able to make

follows: Against the tide, 2.33 1-5, 2.34 3-5, 2.34 3-5. Her 
average for all the trials gave a record of a little less

The Carnival closed with an illumination off the club 
house boat in the evening. The meeting, as expressed 
on all sides, was the most successful yet held in this 
country. There is a feeling, however, that before the 
next meeting, a year from now, the rules will be amended 
— and they should be if the sport is to continue aud 
become, as it should be, an important factor in yachting 
as well as in our commerce. 
Atlantic Y. C. 
Sandy Hook — Sept. 13. 
On Thursday the first race in the series for a $1,000 
cup, offered by Commodore Daniel G. Ried, took place

Queen and Elrnina. The course was 30 miles, 15 to winu- 
ward and return, in a west wind. Before the race was

sailing with spinnakers set, do some lively work. The 
times follow:
