The Dubuque Regatta
This picture of motor craft is so wonderfully and thrillingly shown, that one is struck with amazement at the daring of those who must have faced the greatest of peril in order to have accomplished the herculean task of such startling depiction. The famous Disturber 2nd and Hoosier Boy and a host of others, go dashing by. Now flashing by comes the Hydroplane, well named indeed, for it skims along the waves seeming to leap from crest to crest in its terrific flight. But there are hundreds and hundreds of others and that great twenty-mile course is dotted with them. Among the many renowned men of the aquatic world gathered at this regatta, is Commodore Pugh of Chicago, owner and chief pilot of the Disturber 2nd. As the celebration was classed as a Water Carnival, and the town of Dubuque was dressed in holiday attire, very fine pictures were obtained in the making of the whole event.
