BIG BOAT RACE WON BY PACKARD MOTOR Consistent speed of 50 miles an hour for many hours now is possible on the water in comfortable riding little boats as a result of the hull and motor development brought about by the gold cup and international sweepstakes races on the Detroit river recently held. The sweepstakes race, which carried purses totaling $25,000, brought about a new class of runabout speed boats, and both races were marked by a consistency in performance of some of the motors which was called the most remarkable in the history of internal combustion motors. The gold cup race is run each year in three heats of 30 miles each and the sweepstakes which was held this year for the first time is a 150-mile grind in one heat. Motors for the gold cup race are limited to 625 cubic inches of piston displacement and in the longer race a limit of 1350 is fixed. Packard motors were declared to have made a most remarkable showing. In the gold cup race four boats powered with standard marine engines made by the Packard Motor Car Co. were entered. One, the Packard Chriscraft, which won the race a year ago, finished first; another, Rainbow III, finished second, and a third, Lady Shores, finished fourth. The fourth boat turned over in the first lap and did not finish, although her motor was in perfect condition. In the sweepstakes race other standard Packard marine motors, but of larger piston displacement and having 12 instead of six cylinders, repeated the same kind of smooth easy-running that had characterized the Packard boats in the gold cup race and finished second, third and fourth. Col. J. G. Vincent, vice-president of engineering of the Packard, won the gold cup again this year, and in his Packard Chriscraft II took second place in the sweepstakes race. The average speed in the gold cup race was 45.5 miles an hour, and in the sweepstakes race it was 50 miles an hour. In motor boat racing there is no alternating checking and accelerating of a motor. Power must be continuous and through the whole race motors are run at practically full power with the result that many fall by the wayside.

Los Angeles St. Day and Night Service Saturday, September 29th, 1923 Poor Tires Called Dangerous Economy It's none too early to purchase anti-skid tires, says S. R. Walter of the Anaheim Vulcanizing Works, distributors of the Kelly-Springfield and other high grade tires. Asphalt is treacherous, even after a slight drizzle. What-makes pavement worse is the drippings from tens of thousands of crankcases and oil pans throughout the summer. In the large cities conditions are worst of all. Smooth casings or non-skid ones worn down to a smooth surface should be put into service as spares and not used except when necessary, says Walter. It doesn't take much of a skid on wet pavements crowded with other vehicles to cause damage, which means a loss several times the value of the tires, if the car is valuable.
