Cincinnati Boys Are Victorious In Regattas | Society At Harbor Point and Wequetonsing Enjoy Boat Races and Late Summer Parties


 24 August 1930 | Cincinnati Enquirer

 
Harbor Point, Mich., August 23 Both busy and happy ones are the midsummer days here, with the season at its height. Cottages and clubhouse are full of resorters and their guests, outdoor sports are flourishing, and delightfully informal entertaining goes on apace.

Colorful Regatta Interests Cincinnatians
Las Saturday and Sunday the third of a series of Northern Michigan regattas was held in the harbor here, in which many speedboats and outboard motors competed. In the midst of deafening noise and flying spray the boats shot around the course at amazing speeds, establishing new records for watercraft. The large dock in Harbor Springs was crowded with spectators, and hundreds of people lined the shore in Wequetonsing, which afforded a splendid view of the races.

Sunday was devoted entirely to professional racing, both speedboat and outboard motors, but Saturday belonged to the amateurs. Boys from all the surrounding resorts came that day, either to see the races or to compete in them.

A crowd of Cincinnati boys were present to try their luck, or to encourage their comrades. All these boys gathered together for a racing luncheon at Harbor Point, at the home of Mrs. Smith Hickenlooper. Among those present at this very jolly party being Messrs. Smith Hickenlooper Jr., Gordon and John Hickenlooper, Robert, Thomas and John Dunlap, who came over from Conway, bringing with them their guests, Messrs. Don Myer and Robert Smith. From their summer home on Burt Lake came Messrs. Rudolph and Albert Tietig and their four guests Messrs. Jack Wright, Richard Resor, Bart Hawley, and Tommy Atkins. Last, but far from least, were the five boys who are guests of the Hickenloopers, Messrs. Asa Atkins, Frederick Halsey, “Chuck” Drackett, John Kirkpatrick, and Bailey Coke.

The outboard motor races were the primary interest of these young sportsmen, who were delighted with the honors carried off by some of their confreres. In the Class A race, Mr. jack Woods won first place and Mr. Gordon Hickenlooper second. The Class C race was also won by a Cincinnati boy, Mr. Frank Woods, who came in first.

While the boys are racing and tearing around in their outboards, their elders are enjoying many cruises on the handsome yachts, which are such luxurious features of this region. Mr. Harry L. Leyman is at present off on a cruise in his yacht, having with him as his guests Judge Frank Woods, Judge Smith Hickenlooper, and Mr. Welbon. The goal of the cruise is Georgian Bay, where the fishing is excellent, and where these enthusiastic fishermen intend to try their luck.
