Marine Motoring
The Monaco Meeting, Monte Carlo, April 11
The 200 kilometres race for the championship of the sea, open to all boats engaged in the Monaco meeting, was run to-day, and resulted in a victory for the Panhard-Tellier. The winner last year was Panhard-Levassor in 4hrs. 22min. 54sec., a speed of 45 kilometres an hour. There were 19 starters, among the absentees being Lord Howard de Walden's two Daimler boats. The winning boat was in a class by itself, as the second was over an hour behind. The Italian racer Fiat XV, abandoned the race in the eighth round, when lying second.
The prizes were--first, 10,000f.; second, 2,500f.; third, 1,200f.; fourth, 800f.; fifth, 500f.
