at one time officials and judges over saw on the high platform attached to a car designed for watching boat racing on the
hudson river and other water activites between albany,ny and new york city.

not correct as written.
corrrect at one time officials and judges over saw racing and other water acitivites on the hudson river by standing on the high
platform attached to a railroad car desiged with tier seating for just such activites between albany, ny and new york city.
at many locations along the hudson division of the nycs their railroad tracks closely parallels the hudson river making the
watching of boat racing from the tracks an easy and enjoyable task.
