Thursday, Sept. 24. 
The first of the series of races took place on 
Thursday, but the sport was marred by the 
thick fog that settled down on the river, so that 
it .was impossible to see far, and those in 
charge of the racers did not care to take many 
chances. They went rather slowly around the 
triangular course of ten miles, and often 
stopped when the fog became very thick. The 
start was late, and as a consequence, it was 
long after sunset when some of the racers 
finished, and then there were disputes about 
making all the turns properly and some owners 
declared that others had cut corners. The 
committee had anticipated some such trouble 
and had put watchers on the turning marks, so 
that it was known which had gone properly. 
There were events for six classes, but in two of 
these there were walkovers. In the racing class 
Dixie II. went three times around the course. 
She started at 3:15:18. She finished the first 
round at 3:38:35, the second at 4:01:13, and 
the third 4:23:13. Her elapsed time for the 30 
nautical miles was ill. 7m. 55s., so that her 
average speed was 26.86 nautical, or 30.83 
statute miles an hour. 
On the next class of racing yachts Vim did 
the best work, and won the race. The times 
at the end of each round of 10 miles by those 
in this class were. First round—Vim, 3.57.47; 
Elco, 3.59.31; Macon, 4.03.31; Artful, 4.07.40; 
Scioto, 4.07.49. Second round—Vim, 4.30.40; 
Elco, 4.35.12; Macon, 4.41.31; Scioto, 4.57.06; 
Artful, 507.19. Third round—vim, 5.03.18; 
Elco, 5.08.11; Macon, 5.20.06; Scioto, 5.45.07; 
Artful, 5.52.25. Vim’s actual time was ih. 38m. 
18s., so that she averaged 18.36 nautical or 21.14 
statute miles an hour. 
The cruising craft had hard times but all 
finished. Angie, the last boat, did not cross 
the finishing line. The summaries:

Friday, Sept. 25. 
The second race of the series was very sim¬ 
ilar to the first. The same boats started and 
went twice or three times around the triangle 
and they made fair time. Dixie II. went the 
30 miles in ih. 5m. 40s., which was at the rate 
of 27.34 nautical miles an hour. Vim won in 
the class 33ft. and under, beating Den on cor¬ 
rected time. Den averaged 20.78 nautical, or 
23.59 statute miles an hour, but was beaten in 
her class by Vim on time allowance. Seven 
took part in that race and Macon won the sec¬ 
ond prize and Elco the third. 
Speedway had a walkover. Joker won the 
race for open boats of class G. beating Herby 
and Angie on elapsed and corrected time, and 
in the race for Class F cruising boats, Wamego 
beat Betsy by im. 7s., corrected time, although 
Betsy finished 26m. 38s. ahead of Wamego. 
Eagle and Alabama had walkovers. Alabama 
was remeasured and it was found that her rat¬ 
ing is 58.82 instead of 46.35. The change in the 
rating, however, is not enough to take away 
the victory she was credited with in the race to 
Peekskill. Vim was remeasured, and it was 
found that she is smaller than her first rating 
made her. She now rates 68.29 instead of 69.66.

Saturday, Sept. 26. 
The same lot of boats went around the tri¬ 
angular courses on Saturday and did about the 
same as they did the two preceding days. With 
the exception of Dixie II., these boats have 
been a very ordinary lot. Dixie on the last 
day made the 30 miles at the rate of 27.43 
nautical miles an hour, and in four days’ racing 
she went 120 miles, showing an average speed 
of 27.06 nautical, or 31.n statute miles an hour. 
This was a consistent performance. Vim was 
beaten by Elco in her race, but won on cor¬ 
rected time. The summaries:
