C. The Washington-Model Yacht Club invited the Model Yacht Racing Association of America . to hold its races at Washington, and the invitation was accepted. The Lincoln Pool will offer to the Association conditions as near those to be found at Gosport, England, as is possible. In the past two years our challengers appear to have been about as fast as our foreign competitors, but we have lost because we have not had the experience in handling our models in pond sailing, which is quite different from skiff sailing. Realizing this, the Association selected the Lincoln Pool as the only pond available in the East. The dates are July 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
