This Columbia Pictures sports reel from 1935 opens with a Mississippi steam boat race between "Tome Greene" and "Betsy Ann" way down South in Dixie.
These boats have been racing each other for the previous 70 years. Great detail shots of the paddleboat as "Tom Greene" wins. Harold Vanderbilt on his white hulled yacht and Sopwith on his black one, spent fortunes to get a thrill. The winner to get the battered old mug called the "America's Cup". A gorgeous sight, with mainsail
and jibs set and the crews hustling like mad. Playing polo in outboard motor boats instead of on a pony's back! A dirigible  balloon above pulls water skiers who do stunts and tricks. Speedboat racers do tricks as well!
