"TASHMOO" ... in race
When the big excursion steamboat
"Tashmoo" struck a rock in
the Detroit River the other day and
: sank just as her captain beached
her, the news carried my memory
back 35 years, to Memorial Day,
j 1901. That was the day of the great
steamboat race on Lake Erie be
iween me "Tasnmoo ana me uiiy
j of Buffalo."
Both boats had been designed by
the same man, Frank Kirby, one of
; America's greatest) naval architects.
I The "City of Buffalo" was designed
for overnight freight and passenger
service between Buffalo and Cleveland;
the "Tashmoo" for carrying
big excursion crowds up the Detroit
River to Belle Isle Park. They were
the two fastest craft that had ever
navigated the Great Lakes and the
question as to which was the faster
of the two was so hotly disputed in
shipping circles that, finally, permission
was obtained from the U.
S. Steamboat Inspection to stage a
race between them.
Enormous stakes were put up and
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
side bets. A measured 100-mile
course was marked off between
Cleveland and Erie, Pennsylvania.
jThe "Tashmco" went into dry-dock
and had her bottom scraped and
oiled for the event. The "City of
Buffalo" made her regular overnight
trip to Cleveland, discharged
cargo and passengers, took on coal
and turned around without further
preparation.
I was on the press boat which
went out from Buffalo to see the

finish of the race. It was about as
exciting a sporting event as I ever
witnessed?and about as close. The
"City of Buffalo" beat the "Tashmoo"
by less than one minute In
100 miles!
SIDE WHEELERS . . for me
Somehow I have always been
more interested in the old-fashioned
side-wheel steamboats than I
have ever been able to get about
th big liners. I suppose that is because
my first venture to sea was
on a side wheeler, the old "City of
Portland," which ran between Portland
and Boston overnight, and was
lost without a trace some 25 years
ago.
I have travelled on almost all
of America's inland water ways
vtn/1/llA-nrVinnl Of.OO TYi V\/"YO t.C ciHo

wheelers and stern wheelers, and
nothing concerned with navigation
gives me quite such a kick as seeing
the Fall River steamboat go
up the East River, past my dining
room window in New York.
MEDAL . . . .for George M.
I think it was a fine thing for
the Senate of the United States to
vote an award of a gold medal to
George M. Cohan for his service to
the United States during the World
War. George Cohan's service consisted
in writing the most inspiring
of all the American war songs,
"Over There."
I don't remember who it was that
said that he did not care who wrote
the laws of a country if he could
be allowed to write the songs. There
is more power Nto stir men's souls
and move them to action in the
songs that everybody can sing than
in all the laws that ever were made.
It is quite possible that before the
present presidential campaign ends
somebody will write and set to
music a campaign song so powerful
in its popular appeal that it
will decide the election. That has
