Motor Boats on the Hudson. 
The first motor boat races in this section were 
held on the Hudson River last Saturday after¬ 
noon, the occasion being the opening of the 
Columbia Y. C. house at the foot of West 
Eighty-sixth street. It was a delightful after¬ 
noon for motor boating and the races were well 
managed. There were five classes. Four went 
around a five-mile triangle, starting off the club 
On her official trial trip a speed of fifteen miles 
an hour was obtained. In addition to the usual 
equipment of small boats Ethel May II. carries 
an Express tender of 20 feet in length equipped 
with a 40 horsepower Elco gasolene motor. The 
name of the tender is Edith II. and she is cap¬ 
able of a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. 
Mr. Smith intends to race his tender in all the 
important motor boat events during the season 
along the Atlantic coast, and with the facilities 
'?.» for carrying i, on » 
and back, thirty miles. In this race Vim did the 
best work and averaged over nineteen knots 
which, considering that she had a head tide for 
most of the course, was a very good perform¬ 
ance. 
The semi-speed boats went three times around 
the triangle. Saxon started off well, making 
the first two rounds in 19m. 39s. and 18m. 11s., 
respectively, but she had trouble on the third 
round and Ink passed her and won the race. 
Alabama made the best time in the class for 
cruisers, but Niobe won on corrected time, and 
in the launch race Lady Betty gave time to all 
the others and won. The summaries:

Elco Yachts in Commission. 
The twin screw motor yacht Ethel May II., 
owned by Albert E. Smith, of the Motor Boat 
Club of America, has been placed in commission 
after an official trial trip which took plaije last 
week. Ethel May II. is an Elco twin screw 98- 
foot motor yacht, flush deck, equipped with two 
75 horsepower 6-cylinder Standard gasolene en¬ 
gines. _ The yacht was designed and built bv the 
Electric Launch Company, of Bayonne, N. J. 
be possible to transport the boat to any place 
that it is desired to race in. 
C. B. Orcutt, president of the Newport News 
Ship Building Co., has taken delivery of the 54- 
foot Elco de Luxe motor yacht Wyanoke iV. 
which he will cruise on to the St. Lawrence 
River, where he intends to use the boat in con¬ 
nection with his island on the St. Lawrence 
River. Mr. Orcutt will make the trip through 
the canal with a party of friends. Wyanoke IV. 
on her trial trip developed a speed of fifteen 
miles per hour and at this speed the owner ex¬ 
pects to cover the 600 miles to the St. Lawrence 
River in record time. Wyanoke IV. is a dupli¬ 
cate of the Elco de Luxe exhibited at the Motor 
Boat Show, which was purchased by Adolphus 
Busch, of St. Louis. 
The 93-foot twin screw motor yacht Magnet, 
built for Henry F. Lippitt, of the New York 
Y. C., was launched last week and is now hav¬ 
ing her engines installed and will be ready for 
a trial trip in about ten days. Magnet is de¬ 
signed by William Gardner and is equipped with 
two 100 horsepower Craig engines. Liberal ac¬ 
commodations are provided for the owner and 
his guests with dining saloon on deck. Mr. 
Lippitt will use his boat as a tender to his rac¬ 
ing yacht Winsome. 
Motor Boats Racing Home. 
After a week’s rest at Havana the four motor 
boats started to race back to Atlantic City. -They 
were sent away at 6 o’clock last Saturday even¬ 
ing. The owners had agreed to make a stop at 
Key West where stores and fuel were to be 
taken on board, and Commodore Carbonell, of 
the Havana Y. C., accompanied the racers on his 
steam yacht Gypsy to restart them. The time 
spent at Key West was to be taken out of the' 
elapsed time for the entire trip. They made fine 
time crossing the straits, but the extra speed 
was probably because they are light, and after 
taking on stores for the rest of the voyage they 
will slow down some. Vice Commodore Brig¬ 
ham’s Caliph, the largest of the racers, was the 
first to arrive. She was timed at 2:10:50 a. m. 
Berneyo, winner of the race to Havana, was next 
at 2:42:06, Ilys arrived at 3:36:05 and Caroline 
at 3:37 :oo. All except Caroline had used sails 
on the trip. The weather had been moderate 
and each captain reported all well on board his 
yacht. 
On this part of the race Caliph had done the 
best. She had not only made the quickest pas¬ 
sage, but although she has to allow time to the 
others, she was still ahead by a small margin. 
Figuring on a passage of ninety miles from 
Havana to Key West the elapsed and corrected 
times for that part of the race is as follows : 
Elapsed. Corrected. 
Caliph . 8 10 50 8 10 50 
Berneyo . 8 42 06 8 24 21 
Ilys . 9 36 05 8 46 53 
Caroline . 9 37 00 8 52 00 
Caliph thus had an advantage of 13m. 31s. 
over Berneyo, and Berneyo was leading Ilys in 
the special race by 22m. 32s. 
The advantage of getting here so early in the 
morning was that they had daylight in going 
around the Keys and they should be off Fort- 
cary Light before daylight went. From there 
the course is north, half east to Jupiter Inlet, 
102 miles. Then it is north northeast half east, 
545 miles to Diamond Shoals Lightship. The 
same conditions now govern the contest as were 
agreed on for the race down, and there will be 
the same time allowance. They started again 
in the afternoon and on Monday morning passed 
Jupiter Inlet with Caliph leading.
