II. Won the Gold Challenge Cup Contest, Alexandria Bay, Aug. 2.--The P. D. Q II, owned by A. Graham Miles, of New York, and flying the colors of the Thousand Island Yacht club, yesterday won the first event ' of the gold challenge cup race over the Whiskey Island Course of thirty-two miles. : The Guessnot, owned by Harry N. Denny, of Watertown and repre- senting the Clayton Yacht ¢lub, was second, and the Wasp, entered by Wiillam Tousey, of Syracuse, carry- ing the Thousand Island Park Yacht club pennant, was third. The Ankledeep, owned by Count Cagimirs Mankowski, representing the, Lake George Regatta Associa- tion, capsized in the swells of the boat anead as it was making better than forty miles an hour. The boat sank, but is near enough- to shore so that it can-be raised. The crew, consisting of the Count and the mechaniciap, were rescued by the Mitt If, J. 'Hdrold Hayden's racer, representing the St. Lawrence River Yacht club, which was -fol- lowing. The race was the most spectacular ever held here. Eight boats, the largest number since the cup races were first held, started. Of these five finished, ons sank and two de- veloped trouble, which "kg them from finishing. B But for the trouble which devel- oped; the;Baby Reliance would have won the race. It took the lead at the start and "was not headed until the engines began to act badly. Prior to that it had been averaging between thirty-five and thirty-six miles of the 32-mile course. The Ankledeep was not in shape | to. start in time, by. started about a | mile behind the otuers. The craft went over the first half of the lap at | 'better than a 40-mile rate. The ac- cident occurred on the last half of | the first lap. The boat was over- | hauling the Syracuse and Bearcat | after having passed the Wasp. Caught in the swells from the two boats; it turned completely over and went down stern first. The races started at 4.30 o'clock, the hour at which. the second boat is . expected to start this afternoon. GANANOQUE TIDINGS. Preparations for the Canoe Camp al Sugar Island.
