Commodore H. LI. Melville, of the Motor 
Boat Club of America, has announced that the 
Corinthian Y. C., of Marblehead, has agreed to 
take charge of the hnish of the race from 
Huntington to Marblehead, which will be 
started on July 14. Although the race is some 
distance off the following entries have already 
been made: Alexander Jackson’s Inevitable, 
New York M. B. C.; Joseph Wallace’s Thistle, 
Yonkers Y. C.; F. Gheen’s Kitsix, M. B. C. of 
America. It is expected that there will be more 
than twenty starters in this race, as a great deal 
of interest has been taken in the event by build¬ 
ers and owners. The committee in charge of 
the finish will be William L. Carlton, chairman; 
Lawrence F. Percival, George Upton, H. Mayo 
and Leonard M. Fowle. 
Through arrangements effected between the 
Motor Boat Club of America and the Automo¬ 
bile Club of America, the former organization 
will have charge of the races for the British 
International trophy. Heretofore the Automo¬ 
bile Club has had an active interest in the con¬ 
test, but the details and management have been 
turned over to the Motor Boat Club of Amer¬ 
ica. A committee consisting of Commodore 
Melville. Henry R. Sutphen and Charles E. 
Forsdick have approved the plans made for the 
International contest and the members of the 
Automobile Club have also expressed their ap¬ 
proval. 
An invitation will be extended to all the yacht 
and motor boat clubs and yacht racing associa¬ 
tions to co-operate with the Motor Boat Club 
of America in the defense of the trophy by the 
team of three Americans that will be selected 
to meet the trio of British challengers. 
Work on the nine speed boats that are being 
built for the American elimination trial races 
has progressed to such an extent that two or 
three of the boats will be launched by the end 
of next week. Labor troubles have delayed the 
launching of two of the most promising 
aspirants for the American team, but matters 
have been adjusted and extra workmen put to 
work compl’eting the hull work and installing 
the engines. 
Nothing definite has been heard from the 
English yachtsmen regarding the boats that will 
be sent to represent that country. However, 
Maple Leaf III., owned by E. Mackay Edgar, 
has been going through a series of tryouts 
preparatory to being shipped to New York and 
the other two challengers have been kept in 
the background because the owners have ob¬ 
jected to details getting away from the builders. 
The eliminating trials will be held off the 
Chateau des Beaux Arts, at Huntington, on 
Aug. 16, 17 and 18. and the races for the Inter¬ 
national cup will be held on Aug. 24, 25 and 26. 
James Simpson’s Peter Pan IV., which made 
her racing debut on the Hudson River June 10 
last, is being refinished in the shops of the Re¬ 
liance Motor Boat Company, where she was 
built. This little boat, only 26 feet over all, can 
go more than a mile an hour for every foot in 
her length, and already has attracted lots of at¬ 
tention. Many interested in the motor boat 
game have been wanting to see whether Peter 
Pan IV would prove as successful as her famous 
predecessors, the other Peter Pans, all of them 
champions of note, especially Peter Pan III. 
There is no doubt in the minds of her owner 
and builders as to how good a boat they have 
made, for, with the same power as Peter Pan 
III., 40-horsepower, but with more beam and 
two feet less length, the new boat went two 
miles an hour faster in her speed trials. 
Motor boat lovers now know that a boat may 
be comfortable and beautiful as well as fast. 
The principle is exemplified in Peter Pan IV., 
which is no racing machine. Six persons may 
loll at their ease in the cockpit and they needn't 
wear waterproof clothing. So, too. in Flinders, 
a 22-foot boat which the Reliance Company has 
turned out for Professor Rice, of Yale Uni¬ 
versity, who will use the boat on Lake Cham¬ 
plain this summer. Flinders has a 20-horse¬ 
power motor which drives her 20 miles per 
hour, an unusual speed for the power. 
Tiny Tad, a Reliance hydroplane, also ap¬ 
peared for the first time June 10. Tiny Tad is 
a racing machine pure and simple. She is a 
new departure in hydroplanes and is guaranteed 
by her builders to make 30 miles an hour if her 
motor developes 50 horsepower. The hull is 
only 18^2 feet long, and rather wider than is 
usual in a speed launch. 
Another hydroplane, designed by the Breese 
Brothers, is being turned out in the Reliance 
shops. This one is 23 feet long, and with 60 
horsepower, is expected to do 30 miles an hour 
and even better. No trials have been made yet. 
Among other notable craft built this season 
by the Reliance Company are Nedra, a 30-foot 
mahogany launch for Samuel White, and 
Myhnepo, a 22-foot boat for Albert Stern, of 
Yonkers. Both boats can make twenty miles 
or better carrying their full quota of passengers. 
Cape May Race. 
Five motor boats started in the race of the 
National Y. C. over the Cape May course. They 
were sent away from a line off the National Y. 
C. house at 11:30 o’clock to go first to the 
Southwest Spit buoys then to Scotland. Fire 
Island and Northeast End lightships and re¬ 
turn over the same course, finishing at Scotland 
Lightship. Each yacht had to take its own 
time at the finish, and at each lightship and re¬ 
port to the committee. They made fast time 
for the 318 miles. Caroline soon took the lead 
but Sim Too hung close to her. At the North-
