Seattle M. Y. C. comes word that they
are going places with their pond. They
depleted their treasury to purchase a second-hand gasoline ‘donkey, a Fresno
bucket, and cable to dredge out their
pond place, 200 by 800 feet on Puget

The National Sportsman’s Show,held in New York City, went over fine, so far as model yachting is concerned. There were seventy-two M class and two A class models on display. Their attraction can be attested by three things: the great number of visitors who stopped to seek information, a new club formed because of it (The Empire M.Y.C. to sail in Central Park Lake, New York City), and the fact that the Show Committee donated $50.00 in cash to the sport with which to purchase prizes for both the A and M classes.
