The race is between small, motor-driven speed boats, which were approximately twenty feet long with the inboard engine decked over. Participants in the race were W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. ‘S Hard Boiled Egg; The Standard, which won the championship and had never been beaten; the Vingt et Un; the FIAT; the Shooting Star; the Japansky, the Kotic, and the Nada.
”A new record for power boat racing in America was established yesterday, when in a thirty-two-mile race on the Hudson River the 100 horse-power auto boat Standard, fifty-nine feet in length, covered the course at an average of 19.67 nautical miles an hour, or 22.57 statute miles. The Standard covered the entire distance in 1:37:48. Her time is barely one-third of a mile less than was done by H. H. Rogers’s fast steam yacht Kanawha last Saturday when she won the Lysistrata Cup.”
