ing up trials, and now it is probable that there 
will be lots of breakdowns and engine troubles 
during the trials. 
The English yachtsmen have already selected 
their team. It includes Maple Leaf III., owned 
by E. Mackay Edgar; Pioneer, the property of 
the Duke of Westminster, and Zigorella, be¬ 
longing to Daniel Hanbury. The three chal¬ 
lenges were made through the Royal Motor Y. 
C. and the latter boats are the same vessels 
that competed for the B. I. T. over the Larch- 
mont course last August. 
Important changes have been made to Zigo¬ 
rella and Pioneer. It is reported that their 
horsepower is double what it was last year and 
all the improvements known to the builders’ 
art have been installed as a-further protection 
against the simplest possible accidents. 
The Motor Boat Club of America has char¬ 
tered the steam yacht Pioneer for use during 
the races that will be held under its auspices 
for the remainder of the yachting season. 
Pioneer is a steam yacht more than 150 feet 
on the waterline and during the races she will 
be used to accommodate the guests that will be 
invited by the club to witness the contests. 
Invitations will be issued in a few days to all 
recognized yacht clubs asking them to co-oper¬ 
ate with the Motor Boat Club of America in 
the handling of the British international trophv 
races. 
The Motor Boat Carnival. 
I he carnival of the Manufacturers’ Associa¬ 
tion will be held at Huntington Sept. 4 to 9. 
In all there will be thirty races during the week, 
ranging in length from one to 150 miles. 
The carnival was held on the Hudson River 
last year, but on account of the large quanti¬ 
ties of driftwood encountered by the yachts it 
was considered advisable to hold the races for 
the forthcoming carnival on Huntington Bay. 
The starting point will be off the terrace of the 
Chateau des Beaux Arts. In place of the races 
to Peekskill and Poughkeepsie, which were 
features of the Hudson River carnivals, the 
program calls for a contest of 150 miles for 
speed boats up to 40 feet over all length and 
another of sixty miles for cruisers under 60 
feet on deck. 
Aside from the start of the Bermuda race the 
feature of the carnival will be the contest for 
the long distance high speed trophy for boats 
under 40 feet over all. It will be open to the 
fastest motor boats in the world, and as the 
course will be 150 miles the distance will be 
the longest any of the gasolene-driven craft 
have ever been driven in competition. The 
winner of the British International cup will be 
one of the starters, which also will include the 
craft that will take part in that event, together 
with those which will race in the American 
elimination trials. There will be no handicap, 
but the competing yachts will be permitted to 
replenish their supply of gasolene at any time 
while the endurance contest 'is under way. 
The race will be started at 11 o’clock on 
Sept. 7 and at 2 o’clock there will be a race for 
the 25-footers over a 50-mile course. Races 
also will be held for the manufacturers’ cups, 
the interstate and international trophies. 
A number of new races have been added to 
the program and some of these are to be run 
without handicap, the first boat finishing to 
be the winner. This will make the carnival a 
great deal more interesting to the onlookers, as 
the entire progress of the races can be watched 
from almost any part of the bay or surrounding 
shores and the result will be known as soon as 
the first boat crosses the finish line. 
A brand new race for cruisers to be known 
as the Stratford .Shoal-Larclnnont race will be 
held during the week and a course has been 
laid out which will no doubt prove immensely 
popular with the owners of cruising boats of 
this character. 1 he entire week is filled up with 
events for motor boats of every type, from the 
large handsome motor yachts to the small open 
launches. 1 here will be races every morning 
and afternoon and the prizes will be of a char¬ 
acter consistent with the size and importance of 
the National Motor Boat Carnival, which has 
grown to be the largest and best attended motor 
boating event in the United States. 
Since the carnival follows by just one week 
the completion of the contests for the British 
International trophy in Huntington Bay, the 
races will no doubt be given an international 
flavor by the anticipated entries of the three 
English speed boats which are to be sent here 
to endeavor to lift the Harmsworth cup. The 
class in which these boats will race, namely, 
the 12-meter class, is the same as that for which 
the National Association- of Engine and Boat 
Manufacturers has offered a perpetual challenge 
trophy to be raced for each year at this carnival 
and known as the world’s international cham¬ 
pionship trophy. Among the fast new western 
boats that will undoubtedly appear in this and 
other races are Commodore Pugh’s Disturber 
II. and W. E. Hughey’s Red Top II. Both of 
these boats have phenomenal performances to 
their credit during the past season and will un¬ 
doubtedly seek to add to their laurels during 
the National Motor Boat Carnival. 
The race committee of the Motor Boat Club 
of America, under whose auspices the carnival 
is to be held, consists of Henry R. Sutphen, 
chairman; James A. Bair, Jr., and Victor I. 
Cumnock, Iro Hand, 29 West Thirty-ninth 
street. New York city, is secretary of the race 
committee, and circulars descriptive of the car¬ 
nival with entry blanks will be forwarded to 
every yacht and motor boat club within a few 
days.
