	Motor boat races were scheduled for Wildwood in September, 1911. In this case entries would not be limited to Dubuque residents. (2) One of the boats featured in the race was the "Cactus," featuring fifty horse-power engines capable of driving the craft at thirty miles per hour. Piloted by Charles Scheppele with engineer Charles Loetscher, the boat in a trial run just days before the event had an engine failure that caused the craft to swerve perpendicular to its line of travel. Both pilot and engineer were thrown into the river.		Motor boat races were scheduled for Wildwood in September, 1911. In this case entries would not be limited to Dubuque residents.

There was also a Riverside Athletic Club which was involved with the promotion of athletic bouts at Stumpf's Island across from [[EAGLE POINT]]. (5) From subsequent articles, it appears the choice to rename the site was not universally accepted.
