FOURTH AT 1 YACHT CLUB ( BOATING EVENTS, SWOUINI ' Yacbtiag Chk CiurttMi Are Frapuhg tie iradest Pngraa Ever. 2 Cape May ma every other place in the 1 United^ State* ii pae paring to show its ' loyalty by its celebration of the » Fourth. 1 The Cape May Yacht Club not to be outdone by the dty authorities and its - other rivals has planned outja program 1 which they believe will overshadow ! anything which they have attempted ' in former yean. The magnitude of the undertaking which they are at- ' tempting will be understood when it ia " announced that the plan* have been ' under contemplation since the first of ■ January. The boat races which in 1 former years have been almost wholly f without excitement have been so ar- ' ranged that the boats will cross the • finish so close that it will be almost 1 impossible for the spectators to tgll the ' winner. The way in which the raciog - committee intends to do this is ^briefly ' as follows. In the previous years when ■ spectators went to view the races and - came hack disappointed the allownaces I given to the boats were regulated by '■ the international racing laws. In other words they were controlled by what ' handicap the international racing laws • saidth at boat of a certain build and engine should give to another boat of a certain build and engine. Under the new constitution and by-laws of the : Yacht Club which came into 'force this season, it 'was decided that all handi- , caps should te regulated and controlled by actual tests. On Wednesday, June the 24th, the racing com- 1 : j niittee and officials of the Yacht Clot) J : worked all afternoon timing the differ - . ent yacht' over the regulation mile I ' course surveyed and laid out for the 1 'Joc asion. From the statistics which j • they will gain from this they intend i s to handicip the different classes of I , boats. : Among the races » hich will cause ! ; considerable interest are the motor j boat class which will show how speedy j : a well built and; proportioned boat , Next to them will come the pleasure j i boats class, which though not built on ! lines for racing but more for comfort i will show what they can do in the line • of speed, when put to the test. As a ; finale to the yacht racing will come i the ssil boat races. It is in these race I that the spectators may expect to s«e what skill eDd sailing ability.' can do to bring out the fine points of the j different boats. I I An innovation which promises to be i a great success and which has been : ! carefully and thoroughly planned is s ' i large number of handicap s« imming : There will be a short race consisting i of one hundred feet, a medium lingth of one hundred yards, ind a long dis tance ruee of a quarter mile. The entries in these races are large and consist of the following young men : i : ' Mr. E. Shoemaker, Mr. C. Hepburn, Mr. E. Hepburn. Mr. L. R. Hepburn, j J. S. Lucas. Mr. J. McF. Lucas, ! Mr. E. L. Hackett, Mr. S. H. - Hackett, Jr., Mr. J. Mr Carey and Mr. . i E. Vianna. i Aside f.oni these regulation races a - relay team consisting of J. S. Lucas, | ! J. McF. Lucas, E. L. Hackett and J. i ' McCarey, hereby issue a challenge to ! •any other team. The distance this, i race will cover will be four hundred [ j feet or one hundred feet to be covered ! each man There will be a cup . awarded to the winning team by the 1 j Cape May Yacht Club. Any one considering this proposition will couimo- ! i nicate with Mr. J. McF. Lucas 'at the ! Cape May Yacht Club.
