FROM THE NEW YORK To The boYAL L0sDos
YACHT CLUD-
From ,be Qondonl Sunday Times, Feb. 81
The important and vexed question relative 70 protests
eveo,pg before very large assemblass OF members OF
the RoyM Yacht Ciab, amongst whom were great num-
Der OF practical yachting We foe, thai may
wtboct fear OF contradiction the matter
paramount Importance not only al gentlemen who sail
10 the various regaAs Of this club but " the large body
result Of the decision Monday night upon the quest,
may have the tendency Of awakening officers OF other
groa, sailing institutions to the of the sub
ject Uniformity Of PRINCIPLE uniformity Of regulation In
matches is essential for gener promote
the sport uniformity n the system
which, happily for yacht owners has of late after
much consideration and discussion become sssrnated
the three metropolitan cluos-the Royal Thsmes the
Royal London and the Prince O; Wales and it may ere
long that the wholesome Clause to which we about
advert, y the Royal London may find its way into
sailing regulations Of other clubs.
Mr. CROCKFoRD was the mover OF the important ques-
ton and its value enhanced in the consideration Of
yachtsmeh by its coming from the lbs OF a gentleman
whose experience in sch matters added great weight 10
his argument was the important feature Of the oven
ing we, therefore, psss over the preliminary bust
mesa by which it oshered in
Mr. A. ARcxpxCKNK the commodore, having announced
that the time had arrived for its consideration.
M CRoCXFoRD read his moton-''E q protest shall be
entered against vessel for breach OF the sailing regu
latons the sailing committee may the infringement
proved 10 have been unavoidable by the member in
charge or the sailing master, and had not in the udg
ment of the said committee affected the relative position
of the at the conclusion OF the match dismiss the
protest" Before proceeding to the remarks with which
ar, 90 rsyest - ~ - .b;cS ,o rscart crcv
stances il may be n asonAbly inferred that the mot ON
has reference in some respe, although Intended to
have general and more extended sppcs-
ton The rule runs thus -ssThat during a match should
any Yacht engaged therein foul any road tier or vessel
vuassisted by any person out of the Yacht except
the crew or OF tine vessel SO foued aud any
during match leaving yacht engaged therein (unlcss

Grimsby dispute arose and il was upon the construction

Club which he had held 80 many wears with b ,uor 20
hnnsef and advantage the club This question was the
s,rt OF the rule although Mr. Crockfords
motion conprehended every dispute Which should arise
during match under the sailing regulations and although
he with very gentlemanly feeling IN no WAY adyerted
to the Great Grmsby matter the course OF bis argu
ment would be folly to deny that the necessity for the
motion was not more irreet DIV forced upon his
