at lightning speed—50 to 55 miles an hour. The Mississippi Valley races at Dubuque will be the first American competition of these new high-powered marine racers. The greatest boats produced in America this year have been entered, including "Dixie IV.," speed 55 miles an hour, "Vita II.," speed 50 miles an hour "Red Top," speed 50 miles an hour, "Yankee," with GOO horse power motors and speed estimater at between 50 and 55 miles an hour. Resides these there will be many other great boats, all in the international defender class, which it cost a fortune to build, and which are expected to trim the French and English speed liends in later races. All of these boats will receive their first public trials iu the Dubuque races. It will in fact be virtually the elimination for the international events to follow.
