RACE COMMITTEE MOTOR BOAT CLUB OF AMERICA. 
H. S. Shonnard. Henry R. Sutphen. Victor I. Cumnock. 
In the race for cabin cruisers there were eight 
starters, and they went twice around the tri¬ 
angle. Margo, owned by Russel Dart, finished 
first, but she was beaten by Respite and Amorita 
on corrected time. 
The semi-speed boats were sent three times 
around the triangle, or fifteen miles in all. H. 
C. Cushing. Jr.'s Adelaide, a very prettily run¬ 
ning boat, did well. She kept very close to the 
Sispud, the larger boat, and won the race on 
corrected time, with Sispud second and Ink 
third. The Prodigy went around the course, 
but did not finish, keeping to the wrong side of 
the mark boat. The summaries:

Kitty Hawk Defeats Sand Burr. 
Kitty Hawk II., of Detroit, champion power 
boat of the West, defeated the Sand Burr II., of 
the Seaside Y. C., last Saturday in two of three 
heats, which were arranged between the victor 
of the West and the East off Atlantic City. 
Sand Burr II. in the first race of 12 miles made 
a false start, coming up to the line before the 
starting flag was dropped and was compelled 
to make a circle which lost her 17 seconds. The 
times were: Kitty Hawk II., 23m. 26 4-5 s.; 
Sand Burr II., 23m. 36s. Kitty Hawk won by 
9 i -5 s. 
In the second heat the engine of Sand Burr 
developed trouble, and there was no race. 
Kitty Hawk is 26 feet long and Sand Burr is 
19 feet 11 inches. The former has a 90-horse- 
power engine and the latter has but 60-horse- 
power. 
It is expected that owing to the unsatisfactory 
race another will be arranged to settle the issue 
as to which is entitled to the championship of 
their class. 
The Muffler Nuisance. 
There has been considerable complaint made 
by property owners along the shore at various 
points on Long Island Sound that they are dis¬ 
turbed at nearly all hours of the night by the 
noise of the explosive engine launches and motor 
boats of various kinds that ply the waters of 
the harbors and bays. 
A new law that went into effect Sept. 1 makes 
it a misdemeanor to operate such craft without 
mufflers, but in many sections the law has been 
almost entirely ignored, and the police and bay 
constables do not seem to be aware of the exist¬ 
ence of such an enactment. 
The principal complaint comes from Hammels 
and other points along the Jamaica Bay front 
of Rockaway Beach, where no pretense is made 
as to obeying the statute by the scores of motor 
boats plying on the bay. 
At Glen Cove and Sea Cliff a few boats are 
equipped with mufflers, but enough are still “put- 
putting” over the waters of Hempstead Harbor 
noisily enough to awaken anyone from a pro¬ 
found slumber and destroy a possible good 
night’s rest. 
These sleep destroyers are still at work in 
Patchogue, and at Freeport, although mufflers 
are being gradually introduced. The owners, it 
is said, had ample time to make the necessary 
change before the law took effect and should be 
prevented, it is claimed, from running their craft 
until the change is made. 
During the National Motor Boat Carnival on 
Huntington Bay this week, when the bay was 
crowded with boats of every description, it was 
noticeable that practically every one of the en¬ 
gines was muffled. The high-speed boats, of 
course, were without mufflers, hut among the 
ordinary craft there were few violations.

Delaware A. C. C. 
In the final regatta of the Associated Canoe 
Clubs of the Delaware, the Lakanoo B. C. won 
the annual championship, defeating the Red 
Dragon C. C. by two points. The races were 
held at Wissinoming on Sept. g. Ten clubs, of 
canoeists along the Delaware between Phila¬ 
delphia and Trenton have competed for the title 
and a huge silver shield trophy in a series of 
regattas during the summer, but the real contest 
early developed into a fight between the Laka¬ 
noo men, winners of last year’s championship, 
and the Yapewi Aquatic Club, of Bordentown. 
Lakanoo cinched the prize by winning the two 
crew events in Saturday’s regatta and made a 
good showing in the individual events. 
The annual prize of the association is awarded 
on a basis of points made by men from the 
various clubs in the season’s regattas, with 5 
points for firsts, 3 for seconds and 1 for thirds. 
A hard-fought contest of canoe polo followed 
the canoe paddling races in Saturday’s regatta, 
being won by the Yapewi Club, with Lakanoo 
second and the Chippewa C. C., of Morrisville, 
third.
