Summer resorters along Fox river and hx'.al power Istat owners are considering the advisability of forming a Fox River Power Boat club here this spring. All the resorters aud local owners of such craft who have beeu approached on the subject have signified their willinguess to join and Intost such a club aud it is not at all improbable that our citizens will have an opportunity of witnessing power boat races right here at home next summer. Mr. Hunter, the local boat manufacturer, informed a Plain- dealer representative that there are now seventy power boats owned by res­ idents aloug the shores of Fox river. To many this statement may seem unbe­ lievable, but it is a fact nevertheless. We sincerely hope that the plan will materialize, as in that event "there will be something doing" along the Fox next summer. Corettorii Kiijoy AiiiiiihI I-VbIIvhI. St. Mary's court C O.
