A—14 COLD CUP RAGERS ENTERING REGATI Daring Performances by Speedboat Drivers Fore- cast for Events. The ninth annual President's Cup Regatta, to be held here in September, has been increasing in importance each year and this year is expected to outclass even the famous Gold Cup races and rank as the largest marine racing event in the country, it was announced last night by the Regatta Association. Organization of the association which will handle this year's regatta has been practically completed, it was announced by John A. Remon, head of the association, and working out of detailed plans has begun. Virtually every boat in the Gold Cup class in America will be entered in the feature race for the President’s Cup, Remon said. He pointed out that this is the last year that these boats will compete under existing race rules and that the change allowing use of super-charged engines in the future will render obsolete all the pres- ent type of craft. Grand Finale in Prospect. “Almost Wwithout exception, the Gold Cup boat owners throughout the country have announced that they are going to send their present craft into one grand final effort in which neither boats nor drivers will be spared,” Remon said. “One of the drivers, whose heroism and skill have been exhibited on numerous occasions in races here, has told me that it will be many years before a more spectacular race will be possible.” ‘The growing importance of the regatta as a sporting event and spec- tacle is attested by the fact that esti- mates by Government officials last year indicated that more than 200,000 persons watched the racing program in the Georgetown channel, the as- sociation pointed out. This year's at- tendance is expected to be even larger. | “In view of the tremendous visitor- | interest in the carnival and the Na- tion-wide publicity it gives Washing- ton,” the regatta group said, “the president and directors of the Regatta Association are firm in their belief | that it is a community enterprise. | producing worthwhile results and worthy of the wholehearted support of the citizens of the District and its neighboring communities.” Business Firms Aid. In addition to the active sponsor- ship of the association by virtually | all of the civic associations and other | similar organizations in Washington, | it was explained, there are approxi- mately 100 business firms and indi- viduals now holding voting member- ship in the association. In a statement yesterday, Remon said, “Your financial support of this affair, no matter how modest, is in no sense a contribution, but a worth- while investment in your community because the purpose of the Presi- dent’s Cup Regatta Association is not only to conduct this annual and colorful water carnival, but through arousing interest in water sports and aquatic activities, to create an in- terest on the part of the people as well as the Congress in the proper development of Washington's water front. “With all of the worthwhile im- provements during the past few years designed to make the Nation's Capi- tal a city beautiful, the development of our water front must not be over- f Knabe Chickering Steinway (used) Mason & Hamlin Everett Cable-Nelson and Many Others Directing Regatta Officers and directors of President’s Cup Regatta Association, Inc.
