Caliph allowed Berneyo 3.45.04; Ilys, 11.13.04, 
and Caroline, 10.22.37. 
Berneyo wins first prize of $1,000 cup and 
$1,000 in cash on corrected time, beating Caliph 
by 2 hours 48 minutes 50 seconds; Ilys, 8 hours 
2 minutes, and Caroline, 16 hours 25 minutes 
27 seconds. The difference in time between 
Philadelphia and Havana is 33 minutes 30 sec¬ 
onds, so for the actual running time that dif¬ 
ference must be added to the elapsed times of 
each yacht. 
On Sunday the Havana Y. C. entertained the 
visitors at breakfast. President Gomez, who had 
been a guest on Ilys, returned from Marianao 
to be present, and in a speech of welcome he 
announced that the Mayor of Havana had au¬ 
thorized him to say that the city will give a 
$1,000 cup and $1,000 in cash for a race for 
motor boats next year. Later Senor Perez de 
la Riva, president of the Havana Y. C., said he 
would offer a $1,500 cup and $1,500 in cash for 
the same race. On Monday the yachtsmen went 
to Mantanzas and were guests of the Matanzas 
Y. C. 
Commodore Whitaker, of Ilys, is not satisfied 
with the result of the race. He has challenged 
Berneyo for a race home. Mr. Granbery had 
expected to make the cruise back by easy stages, 
but his crew are enthusiastic for a race and the 
challenge is accepted. The race home will begin 
to-day. 
Marblehead—Bay Ridge Race. 
The conditions to govern the annual motor 
boat race over the Marblehead course have been 
issued by the committee of the Crescent Ath¬ 
letic Club. This year the race will be started at 
Marblehead by the Corinthian Y. C., and the 
finish will be off the Crescent Athletic Club 
house at Bay Ridge. 
The contestants this year will report to a 
committee at Marblehead two days before the 
start for measurement and inspection, and the 
committee will rigidly enforce all the rules. 
Last year an accident to Kitcinque almost 
caused the drowning of the crew. Kitcinque 
was built to the letter and not the spirit of the 
rules, and she started a practically untried boat. 
In the interest of the sport and for the protec¬ 
tion of the lives of those who take part in this 
race the rules have been framed to compel 
owners to build staunch seaworthy vessels, and 
unless in the opinion of the committee an entry 
is well equipped and properly suited to the 
race, it will be rejected. 
The conditions follow: 
Start.—July 16, 1910, at 10 a. m., or such later 
time as the Regatta Committee may consider 
best. 
Conditions.—The race is for cruising boats of 
not less than 30 feet over all, not exceeding in 
the greatest length 40 feet over all, and with a 
waterline breadth of not less than one-fith of

built and used for cruising; must have trunk 
cabin house and self-bailing cockpit. Cabin

ing accommodations for crew. 
Propelling Power.—An explosive engine or

gators or pilots will be allowed, and each owner 
or his representative will be required to deliver

a list giving the names and vocations of all the 
members of his crew.

modore F. M. Wilson, of the Crescent Athletic 
Club. Souvenir prizes will also be given to 
every boat that finishes the race.

Canoeing . 
An Ozark Canoe Trip. 
Continued from page 866. 
While we were discussing the incident we 
heard voices ahead, and in a few minutes were 
paddling through a party of bathers who 
watched the Armada with a good deal of curi¬ 
osity. The bathers were guests at the lodge. 
We soon came to the mouth of Blue Spring 
Brook, one of Missouri’s noted trout streams, 
and Thickety Ford, our destination. Upon land¬ 
ing we discovered to our dismay “no camping” 
signs posted everywhere. Evidently the Lodge 
people were not in favor of the itinerant canoe¬ 
ist. So we paddled back up stream a quarter of 
a mile and camped in the woods outside the 
enemey’s country. I asked the party to stay 
over one day at this point to give me an oppor¬ 
tunity to try conclusions with the trout in the 
brook. This was agreeable to all, so we pitched 
camp for a two-night stay, building a table and
