Judging from all indications and the early 
interest aroused, the Motor Boat Club of 
America’s race week, which will include the Na¬ 
tional Motor Boat Carnival, to be held on the 
Hudson River, at Yonkers, N. Y., Sept. 16 to 
21, inclusive, will be a record-breaker in the 
number of entries and the class of boats that 
will show their paces. 
It looks as though Commodore Blackton had 
been handed a submarine instead of a hydro¬ 
plane when he got Baby Reliance III. At any 
rate, she spends most of her time under water. 
She now is submerged in thirty feet of water 
and rests on the bottom of Lake Michigan where 
she dove on Aug. 12 in the Chicago races. 
Atlantic Y. C. 
In a preliminary way the annual race week 
of the Atlantic Y. C. started Aug. 17 on 
Gravesend Bay, although officially not until 
Tuesday of this week. 
The largest fleet that has sailed so far this 
year crossed the line, the eighth race to count 
on the yacht racing championship of the lower 
bay. Five of the lower bay Q boats put up a 
great race. Spider was first in, covering the 
course in 1.50.17. Six seconds later came Alice, 
and Suelew was 3s. astern. 
On corrected time, both Joy and Careless 
were beaten in their respective divisions of the 
handicap class. The former boat led home the 
first division, but lost on corrected time to La 
Cubana. M. & F. defeated Careless in the sec¬ 
ond division. The S division was taken by Dr. 
C. L. Atkinson, and Mouse led home the 
Gravesend Bay knockabouts. Among dinghies 
of the New York C. C., the winner was Viva.

Boston Y. C. 
Hull, Mass., Aug. 17.— The sixth annual 
championship of the New England Engine and 
Boat Association was held here this afternoon. 
More than forty boats raced in the three regu¬ 
lar classes, Class A, speed boats of more than 
12 miles an hour; Class B, cabin cruisers, and 
Class C, open boats. 
There was also a “bang-and-go-back” race 
given impromptu by Rear-Commodore Roger 
L T pton of the Boston \. C., in which most of 
the boats in the power boat division took part. 
Twelve boats, ranging in size from a 10- 
foot power tender to a 50-foot power yacht, in 
speed from a heavy-going 23-foot cabin cruiser 
to a 20-nnle-an-hour speed shell, started in this 
lalter event. 
The boats went at full speed toward 
Houghs Neck, stringing out until more than 
a mile separated the first and last boat. After 
a six-minute run, a whistle from Elizabeth re¬ 
called the boats and at the first sight of the 
steam over her stack, they returned and made 
for home, thus establishing their own handicaps.
