Last vear, its first, it was just one meeting of many held throughout the country. This year it will be the greatest of them all. Three of the most coveted trophies that' these boating enthusiasts vace for will be won next Saturday. They are the Horace Dodge Memorial Cup. the which President’s Cup and the Secretary of | the Navy’s Cup. The Dodge Cup has always Dbeen raced for in Detroit, where the Dodges live, but the e thusiasm displayed last year in Wash- ington over the races caused the trophy to be brought here. The President’s Cup was what made the races on the Potomac last year. The fastest boats in the country came to Washington to compete for it. The Secretary of the Navy’s Cup, offered for boats slightly smaller than those which race for the President’s Cup and the Dodge Cup, is scarcely less sought after than the other two. Other Championship Races. In addition to these three features ehampionship races will be held in the hydroplane type class and in two outboard motor classes. There will be 23 races, 11 Friday and 12 Saturday. President Coolidge will watch the races from his yacht, the Mayflower, which will be anchored in the river near the finish. Secretary Wilbur of the Navy will be aboard and the Presi- dent is expected to invite a large num- ber of guests to view the spectacle. Horace Dodge is bringing two of his fastest boats to compete in the two big events and in several of the others. These are the Miss Syndicate, which is famous throughout the coun- try, and the Sister Syn. Ralph Snoddy, who drove James H. Rand, jr.’s, Miss Spitfire V to vie. tory in the Duke of York's Trophy mce in England six weeks ago, will pilot the famous speeder in the 151, or hydroplane type, class. Rand, whose wife is also a racing enthusiast and may race one of the boats herself, has three entries in this class, The others are the Miss Spitfire VI and the Little Spitfire; The Miss West- chester, owned by Ed Hammend, will be ancther well known racer in the 15} class. 3 n_addition -to ntries the President’s Cup am Cup races will have such famous entries as Rand’s Lady Spitfire, George Town- send’s Greenwich' Folly. which has won the Gold Cup, the greatest prize of them all, for the past two years: J. H. R. Cromwell's Bottoms Up, and #hadow Vite. owned by George C. Graves of New York. Cigarette IV May Not Come. Cigarette IV, Gordon Hammersley's pet, which ‘won the President's Cup last year, may mnot compete for the trophy again. Hammersley is expect- ed to be here. but it is not certain yvet whether he will bring along his best to _defend' the cup. ‘The President’s Cup and the Dodge ©up are for the same class boats, big 26-footers. There are three heats, the first two of which in both classes will afternoon and the final be run Frida; miles Saturday after- dashes of 1 noon. l The big event of purely local inter- est is the Chesapeake and Potoma: | champlonship for runabouts.

Immediately alter the last race the center of interest will move from the course to the Mayflower, where Presi. dent Coolidge will present the Presi- dent’s Cup to the winneg of that race. | The other trophies willbe presented at a banquet at the Willard Hotel Sat- night. Unless he wins it him- | Horace Dodge will present the | Dodge Cup. Secretary Wilbur will | give the Secretary of the Navy's Cup to its winner, and Miss Washington will present some of the other | trophies. The dinner will be followed by a dance. Both are open to the public. The Corinthian Yacht Club has |made plans to take care of even e crowds than the 100.000 which, |it is estimated, viewed last year's races. A Coast Guard cutter will be anchored on the Virginia side of the viver and this will be the official boat on which the guests of honor will be entertained. These guests of honor will include practically all hish Navy officials in Washington, a large dele- gation of diplomatic representatives and many Representatives and Sen- ators. Boats of the spectators will be kept behind the official boat. Most of the spectators will line the shore on the Georgetown Channel side of Hains Point. Races to Be Broadcast. The National Broadcasting Co. has completed arrangements to broadcast the program of both days through- out the country. Graham McNamee is expected to be at the microphone. Amplifiers will be fstalled all along the shore and the spectators will be kept in touch with the progress of the races by ear as well as by sight, Between races the Marine and Navy Bands will play. The Marine Band is scheduled to furnish the music Friday {and the Navy Band Saturday, Planes from Bolling Field and the naval air station at Anacostia will add to the thrill of the races with stunts oyer the river, which will precede the races and be held between the events of the program. The course over which the hoats will race is an oblong one, 5 miles long. The official boat will be anchered opposite the midway point of the 2%- mile gtraightaway. 'The course is along -the Georgetown Channel side of Hains Point, the same as that over which the boats raced last year. Government depgrtments have co- operated with the yacht club in a: suring the suecess of the race. The navy yvard will be used to handle all the boats as they arrive and to secul them overnight. The Coast Guard has lent a cutter to be used as the official boat, and other departments have lent valuable assistance to the regatta committee.

Are you a coal miner in your own home? And after you have mined your coal, do you have to turn ashman—or woman—and haul the dusty clinkers out? . And what is your reward for this hard, dirty labor? Do you get elean, uniform, healthful heat? Do you weake in a warm room? Does the heating plant, once started, take care of itself? No, the first coal fire in the Fall is only the begin- ning of months of menial labor. The reward, at best, is variable temperature. Instead of toiling with a shovel in the dusty ceal ? mine of your cellar, you can sit in comfort in a beauti- fully furnished room where the coal used to be. Freed from the slavery of shovel and ash can you can enjoy the comfort of an oil heater that feeds itself, and regu- lates itself, and keeps all the rooms constant in tem- perature with clean, wholesome heat. Why not enjoy oil heat— the modern miracle of comfort? Delay in installing an oil heater means going on with drudgery. It means putting off care-free heating comfort. So don'’t delay. Install oil heating now, and begin to enjoy it this Winter. You will never regret it— you will always consider it a splendid investment from every point of view.
