1906 Seattle Mid-Winter Regatta
POWER BOATS TO RACE TOMORROW
Midwinter Regatta of Seattle Club Promises to be Big Success
Many Craft Are Entered
Commodore Faben Issues Orders for Guidance of Those Entered
|
Seattle's first midwinter regatta will begin tomorrow afternoon promptly at 1 o'clock on Lake Washington, and there is every promise that it will be a success in its every feature. The Seattle Power Boat Club, under whose direction it is to be held, has given weeks of earnest effort to the event and Commodore Vince Faben yesterday pronounced all in readiness.
Thirty-eight power boats in all have entered for the different events on the card, including the three fast motor boats, the Tilacum, Union and Siwash. These last three will make a special race of it, beginning promptly at 2 o'clock.
Judges of the course in all of the events will be Judge Mitchell Gilliam, John Schram, H. C. Henry, J. Ballet, and A. M. Brookes. M. J. Johnson will officiate as starter.
Following are Commodore Faben's orders for the guidance of those entered:
"All those entered any of the events should call at the Leschi boat house this afternoon for their numbers.
"Races begin promptly at 1 o'clock.
"Signals--The signal to approach the starting line will be a flag held aloft by the starter. The flag will drop as the boats pass the starting line. If the flag remains aloft it is a signal to return for a fresh start. Do not start until the flag drops.
"Judges and outer stake boats carry blue flags. Committee boat carries white flag."
