International and Home Racing. 
At the time of going to press the elimina¬ 
tion races to pick a defender for the interna¬ 
tional challenge cup are being held at Ward’s 
Point, Tottenville, S. I., under the auspices of 
the New York C. C. The best fleet of sailing 
canoes ever gathered together is on hand, being 
H. D. Murphy, Dr. Palfry, F. W. Fenger and 
Dudley Murphy, all from Boston; George P. 
Douglass, W. H. Harrison, Robert Moore and 
Russell, managers, members of the New York 
C. C.; Leo Friede, Manhattan C. C.; G. F. 
Wolters, Jr., Rochester C. C.; H. Lansing Quick, 
Yonkers C. C.; Jack Ahrens, Knickerbocker 
C. C., and Douglas Cummings, unattached. 
A tremendous gallery is on hand watching 
the contest, in the gallery being Ralph B. Brit¬ 
ton, the challenger, who represents the Ganan- 
oque Canoe and Motor Boat Club of Canada. 
Incidentally, experts on the side lines, while not 
conceding the capture of the cup to Mr. Britton, 
admit that his work entitles him to more than 
an even break in the contest, and this, making 
allowance for the fact that among the defenders 
being tried out are many remarkably expert 
canoe sailers. 
The annual encampment of the Atlantic 
Division of the A. C. A. is being held at the 
same time, under command of Rear Commodore 
E. B. Ayres. Two hundred canoeists are in 
camp. On July 6 the Elliott perpetual trophy 
six-mile event, handicap trophy four and a half 
miles, an inter-division contest for decked sail¬ 
ing canoes, Lady Bug perpetual trophy at four 
and a half miles and a paddling, sailing and 
combined paddling and sailing event for open 
sailing canoes will be held, together with a num¬ 
ber of paddling events. 
The Western Division of the A. C. A. is 
in camp on Cedar Island in Pistakee Lake, under 
command of Henry C. Morse, Vice-Commodore. 
The regatta committee, of which F. B. Hunting- 
ton is chairman, has arranged an interesting 
program which will include twelve events as 
follows, which will be run off on July 4 and 5:

Motor Boating. 
Last year Power Boating, of Cleveland, 
presented a solid gold cup to the Great Lakes 
Power Boat League, to be raced for each year 
at their regatta, over a twenty-mile course. The 
cup was won last year by W. H. Gooderham, 
with his hydroplane Fleloise. As there will be 
no Great Lakes Power Boat League regatta this 
year, a race for this trophy will be held in con¬ 
nection with the Centennial Aquatic Sports. 
This will be the second race on Saturday, Aug. 
16. The Centennial Committee will present 
second and third prizes in this race. For fur¬ 
ther particulars address W. G. Swart, Rear- 
Commodore of the Royal Hamilton Y. C.
