Block Island Race. 
Just why so excellent an opportunity as that 
offered in the New York A. C.-Block Island 
race was overlooked by so many motor boats 
is beyond explanation. Only seven entries were 
received, one of these, Anna, being a post entry. 
The course is one that requires navigation skill 
which proved itself in the fact that out of 
seven entrants only three finished. 
Joseph H. Wallace, one of the best amateur 
navigators, and an ardent racing sailor, won with 
Thistle five minutes ahead of the record for the 
course. He reached West Harbor, Block Island, 
at 3 :35 A. M., seven hours ahead of Debut, which 
took second place. Debut did remarkably well 
considering a breakdown at Faulkner’s Island. 
Repairs took three hours and fifty minutes. 
Debut’s owner, Al. Nachmann, saved many miles 
by his knowledge of short cuts. His crew was 
Dion Underwood, whose duty it was to operate 
the fireless cooker, and W. G. Beecroft, navi¬ 
gating officer. 
Annie, owned by E. J. Winterroth, took 
third place. In the sailing class Debut used a 
kerosene gas producer, which worked remark¬ 
ably well every minute. 
The sloop Interim, owned by R. N. Bovier, 
New Rochelle, won both the time and handicap 
prizes. Her time was I3h. 6m. Amada (B. R. 
Stoddart) was second; Crescent (H. C. South- 
wick) third; Duchess (M. Miller) fourth; 
Robilla (H. J. Diem) fifth; Okee (Commodore 
E. C. Myrick) sixth.
