Long Race on the Lakes. 
Committees representing the Buffalo Y. C., 
Buffalo Motor Boat Club and Buffalo Launch 
Club have arranged the details for the long dis¬ 
tance race, which is to be held on Lake Erie 
on Aug. 26. Herman T. Koerner and Robert 
H. Mason with Harry G. Smith represent the 
Buffalo Y. C. J. F. Ellsworth and H. Kelley 
represent the Buffalo Motor Boat Club. A. F. 
Dehn and Harry D. Elliott represent the Buf¬ 
falo Launch Club in the management of the big 
event which, it is believed, will be the greatest 
ever held on fresh water. 
Past Commodore Edward Michael and Her¬ 
man T. Koerner bought the first prize trophy 
for the race through a curio dealer in New 
York, and up to the present the details of the 
trophy have been guarded with great secrecy. 
It is a huge massive solid silver tankard, valued 
at $2,500. It is entirely hand wrought by Ger¬ 
man silversmiths. The cup has an elaborate 
history and is at least 400 years old. As a 
trophy it is considered the most costly and valu¬ 
able bauble ever hung up for such a contest. 
In addition to the first prize trophy of $2,500 
the winner will also receive a bronze plaque, 
wrought in silver and valued at $100. Similar 
plaques will be awarded the winners of second 
and third places. Other awards will be made 
in accord with the judgment of the officers of 
the race. 
By unanimous vote of all the clubs concerned 
the date for the contest was fixed for Aug. 26, 
the last Saturday in August. 
The course will be 170 miles over the fol¬ 
lowing waters in direct lines: 
Starting from the new dock of the Buffalo 
Y. C. in Buffalo Harbor to the westerly pier 
at Port Maitland, Ont., thence from the west¬ 
erly pier at Port Maitland, Ont., to Erie, Pa., 
light, thence to the new dock of the Buffalo 
Y. C., the place of beginning. Compass courses 
may be had upon application to the committee. 
The idea of this contest is to give to the power 
boat owners on the Great Lakes and their tribu¬ 
tary waters an opportunity to participate in an 
event which calls for the practical use of the 
compass, chart work and modern seamanship. 
It should do much to prove to an interested, 
but a still doubting public, that motor boating 
is not only healthful, but a safe and a sane 
sport due to the development of the proper 
type of boat and the reliability and wonderful 
improvement in the construction of the marine 
gasolene engine. This race has now been 
worked out to the smallest detail, with due re¬ 
gard to the safe passage, under normal condi¬ 
tions, of all the boats engaged in the contest. 
The race is open to all seaworthy boats not 
over 75 feet over-all nor under 38 feet over-all. 
Boats must be substantially built, equipped with 
all appliances necessary to perform a long pas¬ 
sage in open waters, and of the cruiser type. 
Ratings will be calculated under the rules of 
the American Power Boat Association with full 
time allowances. 
The propelling power may be any form or 
any size of internal combustion engine. 
It is assured by the committee in charge that 
those entering the race have a thorough under¬ 
standing of the fuel required to make the pas¬ 
sage, and consequently no amount, nor manner 
of carrying fuel, will be specified. If a boat

rected for any weights added or removed. No 
weight can be removed after final inspection.

garding ratings must be filed in writing with 
the race committee previous to the start of the 
race. 
The race committee reserves the right to re¬ 
ject any entry when in its opinion the boat is 
unseaworthy or unsuitable for any reason for 
long distance racing, or in the judgment of the 
committee is deficient in any particular. 
Coston signals will be supplied to each boat 
to distinguish them while passing points. 
The hour of starting on Aug. 26 will be an¬ 
nounced later. 
Motor Boat Trials. 
The eliminating trials for the purpose of se¬ 
lecting the three American representatives in 
the race for the British International trophy 
will be held on Huntington Harbor next week, 
Aug. 17, 18 and 19. The races for the trophy 
will begin the week following. Every effort is 
being made to have the boats ready on time. 
Work on some has been delayed by labor 
troubles, but extra men, are now at work on 
those boats, and it is expected that they will 
be ready. Of the nine or more American boats 
under construction Dixie IV. is the only one 
completed. The hulls of others are finished and 
the motors are being installed. They should 
have been out weeks ago and had several tun-
