The lake is situated on the edge “of one of the parks, the boundary line passing through the center of the lake. As the opposite side of the water is bounded by private property, the usual concrete wall and walk cannot be installed by the authorities and so the yachts are handled from skiffs. To the writer, following a yacht canoe seemed running round course on in to be a skiff the outside of concrete, but this matter of personal preference. any case, with a or preferable fair to the is a In reaching breeze blowing across the lake, the contestants seemed to have no dif- ficulty in following their craft, but in heavy weather the circumstances might be less pleasant. The Club dock is more commodious than many we have seen. There is ample room for a number of skiffs, without crowding, and the width of the platform enables the officials to discharge their duties unhampered by those who are working on the boats. The 50-800 Class is deservedly popular, as it gives wide latitude to the ingenuity of the individual builder, enabling him to incorporate in his yacht ideas of what is best and to eliminate the personal ideas of ing line at 9:30 waiting for room to make a last try-out before Mr. K.

As 10 o’clock sharp the first pair were on their way; a snappy 15 mile wind making the models step along with spinnakers zooming. Pair after pair were gotten under way and though several fouls occurred during the two days, they were remarkably few considering the number of entrees. There were a number of new boats turned John Black’s lose, among them Bostonia 6 of the whatever his experience has shown him is undesirable, while still keeping his boat within the rules of the class. The writer was greatly impressed by ~~ The Club overlooks the remarkable workmanship, displayed in building the hulls of the yachts. Many were built on the familiar “bread-and-butter system. while some were planked and one of the latter was built without fastenings, the entire planking being attached to the frames with glue. This method is evidently entirelv satisfactory, as the hull showed no signs of strain or looseness, after considerable sailing. Model Yachtsmen living near Staten Island, should write to the Secretary, Mr. Herbert F. Kolb, 1 Benedict Ave., West Brighton, N. Y.

Patrick of the Washington M. Y. C., who, incidentally, was sailing his first model which was a masterpiece of workmanship and was sailed with © fine skill. Gordon Curry and his father sailed the old Polka Dot, well known for its designer and builder, E. A. Bull of Prospect Park M,, Y. C. But to my mind the outstanding boat was Black’s Bostonia 6.

From 11 a.m, on Saturday until 2 p.m. on Sunday the Bostonia 6 had an unbroken string of wins to her credit. Every Skipper in this hard fought event was on his metal. Each had an eye on Gosport and worked hard to pull down scores and build his own chances for the privilege of representing the [ast in the National event in June at Detroit, Michigan. Several of these races, both in intermittent showers and the water Unfortunately, because of the great number of entries, there was time only for one round. Even at that, the resails were still being carried on at 8 p.m. Sunday. It had been planned to carry over the 6 high boats to Monday, deleting all scores and selecting the 3 big boats on that day, but the Officer of the Day felt that the wins were so cleanly made by the 3 high boats that they had undoubtedly won the right to go to Detroit, and since the judges and Skippers involved were agreeable, Monday’s racing was called off, The winner received a beautiful Silver Cup donated by the Philadel- phia Record, and the runner-up the l’ward and w’nd’rd heats were thrilling in the extreme.
