GAS SPEED BOAIS
TO ENTER RACES
Many Craft Hare Entered the Lists
and Excitement Calore Is
Promised.
The motor boat races that will
take place on the fourth of July
promise to be the most sensational
ever had in the Interior of Alaska.
Prac'.ically all the speed/ !» ;»ts hav?
been entered and ae.'jrdnig to the
owners, the races will end in a draw
—each one of them oemg confident
Weir boat will have j wclk-away
w’tfc the purse.
Nenana probably has the best
stretch of water for motor-boat
races anywhere on the Tanana river.
The river is about half a mile wide
free from snags and affords plenty
of room for turning, whereas the
races that have been held in Fair
banks were run on a handicap plan
on account of the slough being so
narrow and the boats not being able
to start from scratch. The race
this Fourth will be run from a
scratch start, that is, the boats will
all come up the river and take an
imaginary line across the river, trey
will then go to a buoy set about
2 Vz miles up the river and turn and
come downstream to another buoy
set about 2 miles below town, which
will make a distance of 414 miles
one way. The plan is to make two
round trips, which will necessitate
covering a distance of about 18
miles.
According 10 tne opinion of motor
boat enthusiasts, the races this year
ought to be record breakers on ac
count of the splendid waterway and
the large number of entries up to
date. According to Herman and
Louie Anderson, we have just as
good a place to race and just as
^ fast boats as they have either in
Seattle, Portland or Astoria, and we
j will probably hang up a record that
will make “Miss Martha Clow” or
“Miss Seattle Xo. 3” ashamed of
themselves.
Another feature of the races this
i year will be that the boats will be
. in sight the entire distance of 18
[ miles, and plenty of excitement will
[ be afforded the public by the manea
( vering of the various “old salts” for
I position so as to take advantage of
the current.
. Following is a list of the boats
t that will be entered, and there will
t no doubt be more, as soon as wore
, can be sent to the owners.
“Xenana Kid” formerly the “Fair
j banks Kid,” owned and operated bj
Herman Anderson. In 1916 she woi
. by 2 seconds, and in 1917 by 1
j seconds. She is a hydroplane model
3 four-foot beam and eighteen feei
r long with forty H. P. Marine engine
. The “Xenana Kid” is undergoing i
- thorough overhauling from her car
burator to her rudders. Herma:
has some new kind of slippery pain
s that he had sent in from the Outsidi
r which he is putting on her bottom
“Pronto II” owned and operatet
e by Wm Gilcher. This boat won th<
handicap race at Fairbanks last year
r and after William looked over th<
e field this year he made up his mint
i. to sharpen up the nose of the Prontt
e a little, so she won’t push the whoh
y Tanana river in front of her. Whei
r you talk motor boat around Gilcher
r he just smiles and points to thi
Pronto and says: “Bet your mone;
b on her kid, it’s a pipe” and Bil
n ought to know what a pipe is. Th<
g Pronto has 60 H. P. Winton Auto
mobile engine, has a five-foot bear
and is 23 feet long.
“The Arrow” owned and operate
S by Julius Anderson. This boat cat
ried off the money several season
n and is considered to be (by th
ft owner) a record breaker almost anj
a where. She has a 30-40 Loew Vi(
:e tor engine and a “speed model” aul
!e hull.
10 “The Victory” owned and opei
ated by Fred Douse. She has
40-50 Loew Victor engine, has
4 Vi foot beam and is 32 feet lohf
■d with a “speed model” hull. Th
n Victory is credited (also by he
g owner) with having made the fastes
time in the races held in Fairbank
that has even been mad€'athere.

“Sunbeam” owned by the Alaskan
Engineering commission. Has a
45-75 Sterling engine and Mad a
speed of 27 knots an hour on a
trial run on Lake Washington. She
has a beam 5 Vz feet and is 32 feet
long. The Sunbeam made the record
run to Fairbanks from Nenana in
three hours and a half flat.
Word has been sent to H. O. Bel
don, at Chena, who has a fast hydro
plane skimmer; as well as the “Hun
gry Kid,” but up to this writing
no word has been received from
them.
Several bets have already been
made around town, and several of
the boats are still in drydock.
i Besides the cash prize offered,
a beautiful cup, suitably engraved,
will be the added attraction, which
will have to b» won for three con-!
secutive seasons to become the prop
erty cf the winner.
