Interlake Motor Boat Races. 
A motorboat race meet, which will bring to¬ 
gether the fastest racing boats in the United 
States and Canada will take place on the Ni¬ 
agara River opposite Motor Island under the 
auspices of the Motor Boat Club of Buffalo on 
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 14, 15 
and 16. The big race will be for the $2,500 Ed¬ 
win Ross Thomas trophy, which will carry the 
International Interlake championship with it. 
The club will leave nothing undone to make 
this meet a hummer which should not be a diffi¬ 
cult matter since the regatta will determine the 
American supremacy. 
The directors of the Motor Boat Club are 
very enthusiastic over the big event, and from 
letters received from owners of famous racers, 
the event which is being planned should touch 
a high mark in boat racing. The committee in 
charge of the affair has arranged Sept. 14, 15 
and 16 to suit the convenience of the power boat 
owners. It is now planned to hold one big 
race each afternoon of the meet, in which there 
will be a large field of contestants. 
The first race will be for the Great Lakes cham¬ 
pionship or better known as the Thomas race 
for the international interlake championship. 
T he next race will be for the championship of 
the United States and will be a free-for-all, 
while the last will be a race for speeders of the 
32-foot class or under. All boats entered in any 
of the races will have to show better than 25 
miles per hour to be eligible. 
The Chamber of Commerce and Manufac¬ 
turers’ Club of Buffalo has donated a beautiful 
trophy for one of the events and a number of 
other costly trophies will also be donated by 
Buffalonians. Mr. Harry Kelley, Fleet Captain 
of the Motor Boat Club, has charge of the 
arrangements and entry blanks will be forward¬ 
ed to owners of high power craft. It is the 
intention of the committee to bring together at 
this meet the speeders of the West and those 
of the East and to fight out the championship 
on neutral waters. This meeting is expected 
to surpass that of the Gold cup challenge race, 
which was contested on the St. Lawrence last 
week, and the big regattas which were held in 
July at Peoria and Dubuque. 
Among the boats that are almost certain to 
come to Buffalo in September are: Dixie IV., 
owned by Frederick Burnham, of New York; 
Red Top II., owned by Commodore Hughey, of

after the start Inevitable had engine trouble. 
Wachusett clmg-chugged further to the front,

American Fishing .Vessels and Motors. 
Consul Douglas Jenkins, St. Pierre Island, 
writes to Daily Consular and Trade Reports: 
The American fishing vessel is generally con¬ 
ceded to be the best of its kind, this being es¬ 
pecially true as to the schooners engaged in 
the cod fishery on the Grand Banks. In his 
report on the St. Pierre fishery for 1910 the 
Chief of the Department of Marine of this 
French colony says: 
The local (St. Pierre) schooners are not so 
poorly kept as is generally believed, and often 
their comparison with the vessels from France 
is more favorable to them than to the latter. 
Above all is this true of schooners of Ameri¬ 
can construction, the interior arrangements of 
which are much superior to the schooners built 
in France. 
As examples I shall mention the Norman 
Fisher, belonging to the Messrs. Folquet. and 
the Francois Robert, of Mr. Robert. In fact, 
one can not find elsewhere, especially on the 
“navires chasseurs” (vessels which carry fish
