Larchmont Y. C. 
The Larchmont L. C. had a race for speed 
boats for the championship of Long Island Sound 
on Tuesday, July 18. There were eight boats 
ready to race and among them were the fast 
Kajeruna, just from Boston, where she had es¬ 
tablished new records. This tiny tender, only 
19 feet long, had made more than twenty-six 
miles an hour in the regatta of the Manufac¬ 
turers’ Association. There were Peter Pan IV., 
Edith II., Vita, Spather, Ran, Adelaide and 
Monimia, all boats of fair speed. Unfortunately 
Kajeruna was disabled and all but Edith II., 
Vita and Peter Jan IV. had troubles, so that 
only the times of those three were taken at the 
finish. 
They were all sent away at 1 153 o’clock to go 
six times around a five-mile triangle having 
turns off the Scotch Caps and near Echo Bay. 
Peter Pan IV. did the best work on the first 
round. She led Vita by 8s. with Edith II. third. 
On the second round Edith II. making about the 
same time as on the first round, took the lead 
and Peter Pan fell back. Then Peter Pan set¬ 
tled down to some good work and for three 
rounds she averaged so well that she finished 
the race with a lead of 3m. 4s. from Vita and 
Vita just managed to beat Edith II. across the 
line by is. No other boat finished. Peter Pan 
being the largest boat of the three to finish had 
to allow time, and when the allowance had been 
deducted, it was found that Vita had won the 
race by is., Edith II. was second and Peter Pan 
IV. was third.

Dixie IV. Does Well. 
Dixie IV., which was built for a syndicate 
composed of Commodore H. H. Melville, Vice- 
Commodore Frederick K. Burnham and August 
Heckscher, of the Motor Boat Club of America, 
for the elimination trial races to select a team 
of three defenders for the British international 
cup, has been given a preliminary trial. It is 
said that while she was not driven to her full 
limit, she showed a speed of forty-six miles an 
hour. 
The designers and the owners were so well 
pleased with Dixie’s showing that they are more 
confident now than ever that the new craft will 
qualify for the American team and will succeed 
in keeping the cup on this side of the Atlantic. 
Dixie is reported as having traveled as good 
as fifty-two miles an hour for a short distance. 
The speed logged by Dixie is the fastest ever 
made by a gasolene-driven craft in this country 
and exceeds by four miles the showing made 
by the Pioneer on the second leg of the British 
international cup race last August. Speed up 
to thirty-nine miles an hour was shown by Dixie 
II. two years ago. 
The owner of the Maple Leaf IIP, E. Mackay 
Edgar, of the Royal Motor Y. C. of Great 
Britain, one of the challengers for the B. I. T., 
reached New York a few days ago, and some 
time next week his boat will arrive. Maple 
Leaf III. is said to be the fastest power boat in 
the world and has an average speed of fifty-seven 
statute miles to her credit. 
Maple Leaf III. is a single step hydroplane 
designed by the Thornycrofts and is a shade 
under 40 feet in over-all length. She is fitted 
with two 12 cylinder engines of 350 horsepower 
each. 
Dixie IV. and Maple Leaf III. will meet for 
the first time in the race for the gold' challenge 
cup, which will be held under the auspices of 
the Frontenac Y. C., on the St. Lawrence River, 
Aug. 8, 9 and 10. 
Through the courtesy of Commodore Melville 
and his associates Dixie IV. has been loaned to 
the Frontenac Y. C. by the Motor Boat Club of 
America to defend the cup. 
Race to Halifax. 
Four cruising motorboats started in the race 
of the National Y. C. from Gravesend Bay to 
Halifax last Saturday afternoon. Tramp, a new 
yacht, owned by Holland S. Duell, led the fleet 
down the harbor followed by Caroline, Eronel 
and Snap Shot III. Outside the harbor there 
was a fresh wind and some sea, and Caroline 
seemed to be doing the best work when the four 
disappeared off Rockaway Inlet. It was expected 
that the yachts would take sixty hours to make 
the race. The starters and allowances are:
