Marblehead Race. 
R. C. Seymour’s motor boat, Blue Peter, was 
the first to finish in the race of the Crescent 
Athletic Club from Marblehead to Bay Ridge. 
This yacht finished at 1:39:45 on Sunday last, 
having made the 285 miles in 27I1. 34m. 45s., or 
at the rate of 10.55 nautical miles an hour. 
Four yachts started from off the Corinthian 
Y. C. house at 10:05 on the morning of July 16. 
Elmo II., the winner last year, finished at 8:40 
on Sunday evening and Aldebaran at 10:45. 
Unfortunately an error was made in the meas¬ 
urements of the racers, so that they have to be 
remeasured before the winner can be de¬ 
termined. All made fine time, and considering 
the weather, which was not at all favorable, the 
yachts behaved well. There was a strong N. E. 
wind throughout the race, and the sea was quite 
rough. 
The log of the Blue Peter follows:

5:27. Shovelful L. V., turned, 6:09. Monomoy, 
Buoy No. 6, turned, 6:19. Took departure for 
same night, where everybody camped. This was 
only a short run and was easily completed be¬ 
fore nightfall. 
The next day an early start was made, and 
as the boys felt good, instead of stopping at 
Point Pleasant, as originally planned, Lambert- 
ville was reached by evening, where camp was 
made for the night. This made a shorter run 
for the next day to Park Island, where the 
usual Park Island welcome was extended. The 
boys spent Monday evening there camping on 
the island and messing at the club mess, which 
is run throughout the summer. 
The next day a short run was made to the 
Yapewi Aquatic Club at Bordentown, and a 
royal good time was spent that evening at the 
club house, a number of the boys from Trenton 
and the Lakanoo Boat Club at Burlington go¬ 
ing there for the evening. 
Wednesday, Tims, Sibley, Amidon, Probasco 
and Southard paddled down to Burlington 
Island. The camp had already been established, 
and Vice-Commodore Quasebart, Purser Wil¬ 
son, Chairman Fort, Gauntt, Lippincott and 
Cook were already on hand. Each day a few 
more arrived until quite a row of tents were 
lined up along the island. 
In squaw camp were IT B. Fort and family, 
paddled down to the Lakanoo Boat Club. A 
parade was formed of decorated power boats 
and canoes, all decorated with lanterns and red 
fire, which passed along the water front of 
Burlington. The shores were thronged with 
people, and the buildings all decorated, making 
a very beautiful sight. After the carnival the 
A. C. A. canoeists were welcomed by Commo¬ 
dore Holmes at the' Lakanoo Boat Club. 
Speeches of welcome were also made by Mayor 
C. P. Farner and State Senator G. W. Lewis. 
Vice-Commodore Quasebart and ex-Commo- 
dore Andreas replied for the association. 
An excellent entertainment was rendered by 
the Burnt Cork Club of Burlington, after which 
refreshments were served in the club grounds, 
tastefully decorated with flags, lanterns and 
electric lights. About midnight the affair broke 
up. The campers all lined up back of Ed. 
Hand’s Gamecock and were towed back to 
camp. 
Saturday afternoon the regatta started, and 
as there was no wind, the Lady Bug trophy 
sailing race was postponed. 
F. Andreas acted as starter. W. A. Furman 
as clerk, and R. F. Tims and W. C. D. Gauntt 
as judges. 
The club fours, double blades, y 2 - mile, was

Ed. Hand, with Toby Overington aboard the 
Gamecock, Hank Fleischmann and Billy Logan 
on the Dragon, and Parker anchored off camp, 
and on the 4th Fred Donnelly, with Billy Tur¬ 
man and a party, came down in his boat from 
Trenton. Watson and several of the other 
Lakanoo men had their boats back and forth 
from Burlington to camp. 
During camp, fifty-nine members and twenty 
visitors registered, and on the 4th fully one 
hundred more visitors were in camp. 
Thursday evening the bunch were invited 
down to the Oneida Club in Burlington, where 
they had such a good time it was hard work to 
break away. 
Friday night was “Lakanoo night,” practical¬ 
ly every one left camp in their canoes and 
started at 4:27:05, with the following entires: 
Mohawk C. C.—Hill, Anderson, Tyson, Kuhn;

silver cup. Lakanoo won a mug for second 
prize. 
The tandem, single blades, around the island, 
was started at 5:23, the finish being as follows:

6:07:30; fifth, Sholl Brothers; sixth, Walker and 
Kelly. Merrill and Mcllvain won silver cups, 
and Tyson and Anderson mugs. 
Saturday night was too warm for a camp-fire; 
instead the Lakanoo Club orchestra played, 
while the fellows sang all the A. C. A. songs 
and made away with the refreshments. The 
evening soon passed away, and it was early 
morning before the entire bunch turned in. 
Sunday was very hot and oppressive, conse¬ 
quently very few left camp until evening. Then 
the ladies and some of the boys went to 
Burlington, while the Old Guard sat around 
headquarters and swapped yarns. 
Monday, the Fourth,” was a very busy day 
for all hands. It opened up bright and clear 
with a good breeze blowing, so the postponed
