Motor Boat Events. 
The regatta committee of the Motor Boat Club 
of America have selected the dates for the club 
events for the season of 1907, and the programme 
laid out consists of a series of club races run¬ 
ning through the early part of the season and 
the late fall, no races being scheduled for July 
and August. 
. The club will go into commission on Decora¬ 
tion day, when the first of the club events will 
he run off. In addition to the Bermuda race 
for the James Gorden Bennett cup, which is 
scheduled for the first week in June, which will 
he open to all bona fide cruising boats of from 
39 to 60ft. in length, the club will hold their 
race week during the week of Sept. 23 and also 
a series of races open to boats owned by the 
members of the club only. 
Ihe Bermuda race is the longest ocean race 
ever opened to motor boats and will be run from 
the club station, located on the Hudson River, to 
a stake boat anchored off Hamilton, Bermuda, a 
distance of 650 nautical miles. Quite a number 
of owners have already signified their intention 
of entering boats for this. race and a number 
are now being specially constructed for the event. 
The race is not only a test of the boats and 
their motors, but also endurance and seamanship 
of the crews and should bring out a type of boat 
seaworthy and staunch and which will be useful 
to their owners aside from being able to partici¬ 
pate in this race. The event will establish the 
reliability of motors for deep sea work and serve 
to remove any possible doubt which may be held 
by the timid. Under present conditions the trip 
is no more arduous or adventurous than that of 
the first steamer which crossed the Atlantic so 
many years, ago. Present indications point to 
the use of internal combustion motors for deep 
sea work in boats of a fairly large size in the 
near future, and many experts believe it is only 
a. question of time before the internal combus¬ 
tion motor, will supersede steam entirely. 
. The club’s race week, starting on Sept. 23, will 
include three days’ series for racers in classes of 
26ft., 33 ft-> 4°ft- and 40ft. up; also events for 
cruisers in classes of under 40ft., 40 to 60ft., 60ft. 
and above. One day will be given up to mile 
trials under admiralty conditions for boats of the 
different racing classes and also a mile champion¬ 
ship, event, a trophy to be awarded to the boat 
making the best time for the mile and a free-for- 
all race open to racing boats of all classes over 
a course of 30 nautical miles. Fifty mile races 
for the different cruising classes will be run off 
in the same day as the free-for-all, and the car¬ 
nival will be brought to a close by a race from 
New York to Poughkeepsie for racing boat's up 
to 33ft., while the larger boats will run over the 
course from New York to Albany and return 
for the trophy offered by Dr. Louis Neumann, 
one of the governors of the Motor Boat Club 
of America. This trophy will be awarded to the 
boat making the fastest time over the course, but 
additional trophies will be given in this event for 
the boat making the best handicap time; in fact 
in all events prizes will be awarded both to the 
boats, making the best elapsed and best handi¬ 
cap times. 
J he races open to boats of club members only 
will be run off . on a novel plan in which the 
point system will be used in determining the 
winner. One race will go to the boat making 
the best time, two races to the boat making the 
best time for her rating, another race to the boat 
winning on the previous performance system of 
handicapping. Additional points will be given 
to the boat making the smallest variation in time 
for the four races. The contestants in all the 
events, not knowing under which system they are 
being raced, will add interest to the event and 
leave each to put forth his best efforts, at the 
same time discouraging any attempts at jockey¬ 
ing. These races will be held on Mav 30. June 
IS. June .29 and Oct. 5 - These races will be for 
both cruisers and racers, divided into the same 
classes as for the race week, and special prizes 
will be given in each class, the boat making the 
greatest number of points being the club cham¬ 
pion. . In addition to the above the club will 
organize a cruise by the inside route to James¬ 
town Exposition, in which all other clubs will 
be asked to co-operate.
