However, competition increased. There was the regular Orchard Lake One Hundred Dollar Cup, and later the Ward Pelouse One Thousand Dollar Cup. Either could be won for keeps by winning first for five consecutive years. The Keewaydin came very near winning it, only to have lost in the fourth year. From Campbell Harvery Manuscript

The first year or so, the races were between the ordinary pleasure craft-Forrest Campbell in the Islander, Will Ward’s Tantalizer, A. D. Noble’s Ellen Marie, the Beath boys’ Irene G., and Loos’ Urania. Most, if not all, were built by Chas. Plass, Oak Grove. Pennants were awarded for the first three. A launch served as a judges’ boat.
