Not being a professional scribe, the reader is asked not to mistake this report as over-enthusiasm of a correspondent, but to believe that it is an unbiased sketch of what has been acclaimed unanimously as

The race between the two leaders decided the National Championship. Blue Chip went on to win with four more beats and two more runs, finishing up the day’s sailing with a grand total of 98 points for
the three-day regatta.
This design, while one of the fastest, is not eligible for International competition, being of foreign origin.
We recently paid a very pleasant visit to the Staten Island Model Yacht Club. The Club uses a lake called ““Wolf’s Pond” which is fed by springs at one end and discharges into the sea at the other. The remarkable feature of this lake is that it is not more than 300 feet from the sea, being only separated from the salt water by a low ridge, over which the waves of Princess
Bay are plainly visible.
A resume of the racing schedule for the summer season opens this department. Model Craftsman will give you detailed accounts and photographs of most of these events during the few months.
