The first Indiana Governor's Cup was described by the Madison Courier was reduced to a mere exhibition. Unlike the other classes at the regatta no times were taken. Gale II made wide turns and paced the smaller boats around the course until going dead in the water. Thus it is probable that the race should be regarded as an exhibition rather than a real race. It is included since it was the first in a long line of races and was scheduled as an Unlimited race.
