The Harmsworth Cup. 
While the matter of postponement of last 
Monday’s race at Huntington was under discus¬ 
sion by the committee, there was a lot of talk 
about the sportsmanship of several of the com¬ 
petitors, says the New York Times. It was free¬ 
ly charged that two fins had been added to Baby 
Reliance III. after the race on Saturday, and 
that this addition was contrary to the deed of 
gift controlling the cup contests. It was also 
said that Commodore Blackton is the technical 
owner only of Baby Reliance II. and not the 
real owner, as the conditions require. These 
critics held that the fleet of Baby Reliance boats 
had been built on speculation and that Blackton 
held them on a contingency clause. James Simp¬ 
son, owner of Peter Pan V., the boat that made 
the fastest time in the trials, but which was not 
selected by the committee as one of the three 
American defenders for the cup, said he would 
bet $500 that his boat could defeat any of the 
Baby Reliance fleet. 
An Englishman who came over here in the 
interest of the challengers said : 
‘'Since the Americans were not anxious to 
race to-day, we agreed to a postponement. We 
English in the motor boat game are sportsmen. 
We could have had a walkover to-day, and can 
protest on a dozen different grounds if we de¬ 
sire to do so. But we are not desirous to win 
out on a technicality. We want to show the 
efficiency of our boats in comparison with the 
American craft. 
“Since last night we have seen and heard 
at least a dozen things, each one of which, if 
true, would have enabled the British to file a 
protest. There is no need for that, however. 
The English boats are ready to race in rough 
or smooth water. I was present yesterday at 
the overhauling of Baby Reliance III., and saw 
the fins attached to the boat. Under the deed 
of gift we could protest, as this change consti¬ 
tutes a violation of it.’’ 
Tales were told which would tend to show 
that there has been more or less juggling with 
the names of the boats and the Roman numerals 
attached to some of them. It was said that in 
order to hide the identity of one, it had been 
repainted. These changes, it was alleged, had 
been made in the West. There is no registry of 
motor boats in this country and the identifica¬ 
tion of a boat cannot be made officially. 
“I’m willing to go before a notary and swear 
that the Baby Reliance III. was known as the 
Reliance X.,” said Tames Simpson. “I saw a 
picture of Reliance X. in the show window of 
a store in Chicago, and that picture corresponds 
in every detail with the present Baby Reliance 
III.’’ 
The fact that Commodore Blackton says he 
is the owner of Baby Reliance II. and his wife 
the owner of Baby Reliance III. is in spirit a 
violation of the rule which says that the owner 
or owners of one entrant in the race must have 
no interest in another contestant. 
Delaware Championship. 
The speed boat championship of the Dela¬ 
ware was won by A1 Par Nel, Jr., owned by

Commodore Krusen’s Rocallanna. The sum¬

Lakanoo Boat Club. 
The annual regatta of the Lakanoo Boat 
Club was held at Burlington, N. J., on Saturday 
afternoon, Aug. 24. The club house and grounds

belonging to the Associated Canoe Clubs of the 
Delaware, and being the last regatta held by 
any of the clubs this season, the Lakanoo Boat 
Club clinched their claim to the holding of the 
association trophy for this year with a total of 
100 points. The number of points scored by the 
other clubs in the season’s regattas are as fol¬ 
lows. Algonquin C. C., 8; Chippewa C. C., 28; 
Mohawk C. C., 9; Yapewi A. C., 44. 
Following the races, lunch was served to 
guests and members, and in the evening a very 
enjoyable dance was held in the canoe room on 
the first floor of the club house.

Storing Canoes. 
New York City, Aug. 23 .-— Editor Forest 
and Stream: Can you enlighten me in regard 
to the following matter? 
I am a member of the Manhattan Canoe 
Club. We are about to change into new quar¬ 
ters, and considerable discussion has arisen over 
the best way to store canoes. 
Some hold that a canoe is in the best posi¬ 
tion when supported upside down on the gun¬ 
wales, while a few, myself included, think it 
best to set a boat on its keel. What do you 
think? Have you ever had occasion to look 
into this matter? If so, will you give us the 
benefit of your findings? D. W. Thorn. 
A. C. A. Officers. 
Frederick W. Cramphorn, 26 Winter street, 
Woburn, Mass., was elected Commodore, and

ciation for 1913.
