I. think it is time something was being done towards raising Sr the Model Yacht Clubs of Great Britain and Ireland, a Challenge Trophy, to be sailed for once a year, and-held by the winning Club until wrested from its grasp by the su- perior racing prowess of some competitor. | —o— As a symbol of superiority, the trophy (whatever form it takes) should be a valuable one, not only to be looked upon with pride by the holders, but something that will assist in drawing public attention to model yachting by the fact of its importance. sail area rule, as adopted by the Y.R.A. | —=(O—<= A REASONABLE way to raise the funds, would be for each Club to subscribe an equal amount for both the Challenge and the yearly prizes, in which case the subscribers would be the competitors, or, if all could not subscribe alike, it might be arranged for the number of representatives from each Club to be ruled by the amount subscribed; but the former seems by far the best Way, as it gives equality in the competition and the honor. —O— Ir all the Clubs would take the matter up in earnest, we should very shortly be able to chronicle the amount as raised.. There are many other details which would have to be arranged, but the —o— —o—. conditions as to its being won a certain number of WE shall be glad if secretaries will consult with times, and then becoming the property of any one their members and let us have their views on ‘the Club, but this matter would no doubt have the full subject, and we shall be pleased ‘to receive the when the time comes for decision on the point. names of any gentlemen not belonging to the clubs, who feel willing to subscribe to the object, for the We speak for ourselves alone. sake of encouraging the sport of model yacht racing. : ——— etc., attached thereto, in This to be varied in the case of Clubs winning it more than once, by some token that can be exhibited in the Club room of the winners. | | _—— OTHER questions are—the value of the trophy, -—the value of the yearly prize,—the rule under which the boats matter suitable for bringing it before their patrons and friends. rf suitable form, accompanying the article itself cach year, as’ the property of the winners. printed of the various Clubs could be classed,—the means of raising the funds,—and the definition of competitors.

Although our Club has not the brilliant history of a Liverpool, or the immense bounds that have characterised model yachting in Hull, we can congratulate ourselves on a robust existence at the present time, with a vastly increased interest both of members and others in model yachting as an . art and a pastime, and there is no doubt of its increase in the future, as its advantages and the en- joyment to be derived from'it get to be better understood and appreciated. There are other clubs in Ulster,—notably at Derry and Carrickfergus, the latter a resuscitation of a ‘former club, and many are the signs that model yachting will, during the next decade, take a more prominent place amongst public sports.
