provement over her form the week before, when 
she came in a poor fourth, but bad sailing, a 
cupful of unexpected wind, or a cross-current, 
forced her to tack out into the lake in making 
the home stretch, and this put her out of this 
section of the contest for good. 
While negotiating the home stake in the 
first round, one of Senorita’s crew was knocked 
into the lake by the boom. He swam to the 
stake, and the yacht put about and picked him 
up. This cost her several minutes and assisted 
in placing her a poor sixth at the finish. 
Target was first around the home stake on 
the first round with Massachusetts 35s. behind 
her; Seawanhaka 2m. 32s. behind Massachusetts; 
Kathryn I. was fourth, with Stranger and 
Senorita trailing. As they rounded the stake 
they crowded on every bit of sail, and at the 
end of the second round Kathryn had gained a 
lead of 200 yards on Seawanhaka, and was never 
headed. Target and Massachusetts held their 
places through the second round, but in the 
third and final round Target increased her lead 
over the Heaslip boat, and passing the eastward 
stake seemed to be fully 500 yards to the good. 
The wind freshened at this point and the 
boats made fine time on the home stretch, but 
Target lost heavily by a bad tack in rounding 
the eastward stake and Massachusetts picked up 
some 300 yards. The Heaslip boat gained still 
more on the last lap, and when Target crossed 
the finish line, Massachusetts was not more than 
100 yards behind her. Kathryn was rapidly in¬ 
creasing her lead over Seawanhaka for third 
place. 
Following the race for the Legier cup the 
entire fleet of the Southern Y. C. will make its 
annual cruise along the Gulf coast. The race 
to Mobile, which has been an annual affair, is 
reported as canceled, and the boats will go 
only as far as Biloxi, Miss., this year. Then 
of course, there will be the motorboat race to 
Pensacola, where there will be another regatta, 
similar to that held by the Southern Y. C. in 
New Orleans, and previously described in Forest 
and Stream. 
Buffalo Y. C. 
The Buffalo Y. C.’s regatta on June 21 
produced the most sensational sailing contest 
ever held in these waters. The three new Class 
Q racers went around the course of twelve miles 
sailing in light zephyrs so delicate and slow that 
it required nearly three hours to cover the dis¬ 
tance, yet the contestants were never more than 
fifteen yards apart during the entire route. The 
winning boat, More Trouble, Captain H. L. 
Chamberlain, had only a margin of twenty sec¬ 
onds, while the place boat had only thirty-five 
seconds to the good. So there were but fifty- 
five seconds difference in the three finishes. The 
summary : 
More Trouble, H. L. Chamberlain . 5 45 20 
Gray Jacket, Edward N. Smith. 5 45 40 
Chaperon, Gordon D. Harper .5 4G 15 
Lorna, Peter Dukelow . 5 49 30 
In sail area, size and construction Gray 
Jacket is a vastly superior boat to More Trouble, 
and Skipper Chamberlain is being highly compli¬ 
mented upon his victory, which would have been 
utterly impossible if the old gentleman hadn’t 
gobbled up a few vagrant advantages as they 
presented themselves, for Gray Jacket, too, was 
sailed in a splendid manner as her victory over 
Chaperon shows.

Elimination Races on Huntington Bay. 
Details have been arranged for the elimina¬ 
tion races for the purpose of selecting three 
motorboats to make up the team which is to 
be sent abroad to compete for the British inter¬ 
national trophy in Southampton waters. The 
races will be held on July 7, 8 and 9 on Hunt¬ 
ington Bay. The course will be a five-mile tri¬ 
angle, to be covered six times, and the base of 
the triangle will run parallel to the Huntington 
shore, at East Neck, with the apex running to 
the northward in the general direction off 
Eaton's Point. The turns will be made to star¬ 
board, in harmony with the English practice 
of racing motor boats, as the challengers will 
be compelled to turn to starboard in the inter¬ 
national race in English waters. This may be 
a little awkward at the outset for American 
racing men, inasmuch as they have been accus¬ 
tomed, as a rule, to turn to port, and the torque 
of a high speed boat naturally favored a turn 
to port.

Hamilton, Ontario, June 14.- — Editor Forest 
and Stream: With reference to the Hamilton 
Centennial Industrial Exposition, which is being 
held on Aug. 11 to 16 to commemorate the hun¬ 
dredth anniversary of the incorporation of 
Hamilton as a village, prior to which it was 
known as ‘'The Head of the Lakes,” and also 
to celebrate the hundred years of peace, there 
are to be innumerable entertainments, a full 
program having been arranged for each day, 
among which may be mentioned one afternoon 
for sailing, one afternoon for rowing and two 
afternoons for motor boat races, which will 
consist of the following: 
Friday, Aug. 15.—First race, 3 p. m., 15- 
mile free-for-all; second race, 4:15 p. m. 5-mile 
handicap, open to one and two-cylinder engines; 
third race, 5 130 p. m., bang-and-go-back..

When the Cry of 
the Wild Sings Out 
? in the woods, where the fragrance of the summer 
' leaves greets you on a shiny morn and the cry of the 
wild is in your ears, you feel as if the camp is just the 
one place on earth where happiness is King: And as the 
sun looms up over the sparkling surface of the lake you 
take your rowboat, not for a row, but for a dash over 
the dancing ripples, because your rowboat is a motor# 
driven rowboat. Because you’ve hung an 
ovi 
DETACHABLE 
OOW BOAT-MOTOR _ 
over the stern and made your boat a motor boat. There’s 
a gentle purr that drives you forward, the purr of the 
two full horse power of a finely built motor; a motor of 
nickel steel and bronze, built like the 
finestof autoengines. Whenyou nreak 
camp you carry this little wonder right 
with you, because it weighs only fifty 
pounds and is carried like a satchel. It 
goes on fishing trips, hunting trips, 
camplng.where very oil goand attaches 
toany rowboat in less than one minute. 
Call on your Sporting Goods or Hard¬ 
ware dealer to see the motor or write for
