The event drew 112 out of state guests to gear made it necessary to divide the qualifying rounds to six races. The wind was constantly increasing and by the time the sixth`race was started it was whistling. The committee decided to call a halt, partake of the dinner which had been planned for the evening, and resume wi`,I 24 boats, including such speedy craft racing after dinner, so all hands trooped up as Arthur Millward’s, Moori, National to the home of Mr. Chas.

We did our best and “that’s all any mule can do”. We had the most wonderful time we have ever known, and those of my friends in the q,tub and at Halripton Manor who worked so hard-while I did nothing but run /in circles and shout, scoffed at the idea that they had done anything. To Arthur Brown, I want to thank you per`somlly, because it was through. youl. efforts we .were enabled to interest the many who came from out-of-town, I am told that our race was the biggest Class Event ever held, and it is a distinction, and an honor, of which we are justly proud. I am only sorry I have not been a more capable leader of this Club, so that we could have been well represented at the bvents of the past 1,hfee years, but it is better late thqn not at al), and I am grateful for the help everyone gave me, in and out of the sport, and hope nc)ne of you have Occasion to regret it. From present indications, there will be a party of 30 going to the Staten Island event in September, and we are in hopes that we will meet EVERY ONE OF OUR RECENT GUESTS THERE, as well as making many new friends.

I know that $2.00 is a fist full of money to a lot of people, but;if the boys would only try real hard, they would be more than repaid for the ext.ra effort by getting their issue on the first of every month and seeing what is being done by the various clubs; $2.00 is, really,. such a small sum when it is put to a good use, and if the model yachtsmen 1,hroughout the country are really serious about their hobby, it is not tisking much to expect. them, INDIVIDUALLY, to support the Model Yachting Magazine, when it is the Only means of communicating with others Clubs in a practical way.

The pond at Fleetwood lies practically due east and west with no trees, buildings or high banks to break 1,he wind. It is approximately 800 feet long by 200 feet wide. At starting time there was a west north west wind which had reached a force of 52 miles an hour by mid aftel.noon. Mr. W. M. Carpenter, Officer of the Day, postponed the racing. August lst dawned ideally for racing. A 2.5 mile wind gradually diminished during the day giving ideal sailing conditions with a run to the Eastward and a reaching beat to Westward. Racing.started at 9 A. M. The~first pin xp heing Glengarry t\nd;.Capella in a run to le-eward. The boats. had been divided into two divisions` of eighteen boats each.

In the second division Dar! and Cymrt4 had 35 each #ermi.one 35. 5 giving a beat and run with the eight boats named in the preceding paragraph as finalists. The wind was steady and the sailing was pctssibly the best that has ever been witnessed in the British Championships. Of the eight finalists thl.ee were previous winners. Mr. W. J.

EDITORIALS Marking Time After a lapse of several months, the pulhicE\tion o£ Model Yachting w8Ls re- sumed last January. The paper appeared regularly up to and including the July number, which was the best record made since it was started. July fifth the editor was seized with an att?ck of asthma being laid up off and on until August llth when he left for the regatta at Resselaer. Mr. D. J. Manning of the Marblehead Club called for the writer that day and it was doubtful if he would I)e able to sail in that regatta. As he had been instrument,al in getting Mr. Heisler to transfer the hTei{ler Cup from Class A to the Marl)lehead Class it was decided to make the trip and take a chance on being able to sail. Thanks t,o the many good friends who were so solicitous for his welfare jt was possible to go through the progmm. Upon my return I began work on the August number, writing copy and succeeding in getting the paper partly pl'inted. On Sept. Ist a visit to the dentist for a tooth extraction resulted in a fractured jaw necessitating hospil,al treatment and a further delay in the publication of the August number for several weeks. While not yet able to do my usual thorough job on the heavier foods, things are progressing and let us hope that this is the end cf tlie tough "breaks" for a while. TI - -- As usual we have a wail about support for the paper. As I have mentioned before the summer months are always the toughest ones to get through, for instance, the total receipts for August were only $36.65 and for September $27. We want to give you a bigger, better paper but it is impossible to do it on any such sums of money as these. I do hope that all readers will try to get one friend to subscribe to Mode! yaich£..r!g, if you will all do this you will l]e well repaid. As I have repeatedly written I have plenty of good material, articles along the lines that many of you have written me you wished to see, I)ut I cannot, perform miracles, if you do not help me to get more revenue it is impossible for me to publish the things you wish. Amcng these things are drawings of two steering gears, photos of some ot. the most successful Class A and Marblehead 5C-800 models. Drawings of useful tools in the building of planked and glued models that may be easily made. Photos of various steps in model construction. Also we wish to publish several designs of Class A boats but are unable to do I,his until we get more cash rolling in as these full size designs cost tco much owing to their I)ng size which increises the rerroduction cost. We can give you the stuff if you will get the money to us so that we can use it. A gossip and a rattlesnake are somewhat alike. Both rattle before they strike.

For class A boats the sailing was ideal and the fact that the course was sailed in 35 minutes under the average time is proof of this. The smaller craft made heavy weather of it and slower time. The cups awarded in Sunday's regatta must be won three years in succession in order to be lield permanently and all three cups went to the southern sailors. Prominent among the model yachtsmen r)resent at Sunday's event was E. L. Cheney of Saugatuck, president of the National Model Yacht Association. Following are the res,ults : William F. Stone died at Marblehead Sunday, October 22nd. Mr. Stone was an ardent model yachtsmen, havirg I)een a meml)er of the Marblehead M].niature Sea Scout 42-inch. ` Yacht Club an organization that was active in racing an uurestricted sail area class of in..dels in Marblehead Harbor some thirty or more years ago. He`was a sLillful skipper and a designer of many very fast models. This past season his boat was runner-up in the trial races to select a defendel. for ,the Marblehead Perpetual Challenge Cup. It is with regret that we record his sad end. When you envy another it is because you think he is su|erior. When you hold bitterness, malice agalnst another this is, in a way, paying homage to what you regard as superiority. jusT OrdE MORE LITTLE subscr.iption, I)lease. se£Eat,;£°aT;I.LJG%?kL¥nr:oai8nerb£:Tg£::::: tuck; third, Peggy a.
