she passed Yo Ho, Mrs. Bacon, wife of the 
owner, was at the wheel. 
The owners of the two yachts and their crews

yachts behaved splendidly. While in the Gulf 
stream a leaking pipe was found on Yo Ho 
and 200 gallons of gasoline were lost over¬ 
board. The summary:

Elmo II. Wins Race to Albany. 
Elmo II, winner of last year’s Bay Ridge- 
Marblehead race, won the long distance race 
of the New York Motor Boat Club from New 
York to Albany and return, 270 nautical miles. 
This race was started at 7 o’clock last Satur¬ 
day evening and twelve motor boats crossed 
the line. A thick fog settled on the river that 
night and some of the racers went ashore 
while others anchored and later withdrew from 
the race. The Leonie ran aground at West 
Point and was held for several hours. The 
Monrave hung on a bank below Poughkeepsie 
for six hours before she floated off and then 
she kept, on with the race. » 
Nantucket, the largest yacht of the fleet, was 
the first to reach the turning point off the Al¬ 
bany Y. C. She started on her homeward run 
at 12:08 Sunday afternoon. Elmo II followed 
at 12:17, Consort at 12:24, Kid II at 3:37, Mon¬ 
rave at 4:06 and Twin Kid at 4:33. 
Elmo II took the lead on the way down the 
river and she finished 2 hours. 8 minutes ahead 
of the Nantucket, showing again how reliable 
the Standard motor is. Elmo IT finished the 
race at 3:17:35 on Monday morning and the 
others followed slowly until Lilian was timed 
at 4:11:25 in the afternoon. The summaries 
follow:

Woes of the Motor Boat Man. 
Collector of Customs George W. Gardiner, 
out of the fertile depths of his always faithful 
imagination, has evolved the following poetic 
discourse on the troubles of motor* boat owners 
with the new law during the coming summer, 
says the Providence Journal. Although the 
yachtsman may not feel especially like wooing 
the muses when the wind in the shape of a 
shrill northeaster is causing him- sufficient worry 
without any regard to light, whistles or the hun¬ 
dred and one other accoutrements which the de¬ 
partment at Washington says he must have, yet 
Mr. Gardiner’s poetic effulgence might make a 
welcome addition and a more cheerful reminder 
than the dry old law itself were it swaying ’neath 
the smoky light in the cabin. It tells the story 
of what ‘Congress did and is daintily labeled 
“Custom House Lyrics.” Here it is: 
For it’s woe to the man who’s discovered afloat 
After July the 8th in his snug motor boat, 
Without any whistle or fog horn or bell, 
Or the red and green lights by which one may tell 
Just which way he’s going, without hearing his noise. 
And, beside, he must have either life belts or buoys, 
Or some such device sufficient to float 
Every person aboard of the said motor boat, 
If observed as he “chug-chugs” and burns gasoline, 
’Twon’t avail him to plead that he hadn’t benzine. 
The new motor bdat ldw, which requires own¬ 
ers to properly equip their yachts, will go into 
effect to-day. No owner should leave har¬ 
bor without a full equipment as enumerated in 
the law and with two copies of the law on 
board. These can be obtained by applying to 
the Department of Labor and Commerce or 
at the offices of the steamboat inspectors. 
Sparks. 
The motor boat Edith R., owned by Commo¬ 
dore Meyer Rosenbush, of the Maryland Motor 
Boat Club, was burned at her moorings at Ferry 
Bar last week. The engine was being cranked 
to start on a trip to Annapolis. It back-fired 
and set fire to the oils in the bilge. The boat 
was a total loss and was valued at $3,500. 
Helen E., a raised deck cruiser, built for 
Oren C. Sanborn by Murray & Tregurtha, has 
been launched. This yacht is 60 feet long and 
11 feet beam. 
George O. Curtis, of Boston, has placed an 
order with William J. Deed, Jr., for a cruising 
power boat which is to be 55 feet long, 12 feet 
beam, 3 feet 10 inches draft and to be driven 
by two 24 horsepower heavy duty engines. The 
boat will have an auxiliary sail plan and Mr. 
Curtis and his wife are planning a cruise of 
about 10,000 miles through the Great Lakes, 
Mississippi River, Gulf Coast, Florida, Cuba and 
Atlantic seaboard.
