BRITISH YACHTING RULES.
Cemuittee's Report Advises Important Changes
In tho Measurement Formula.

In tho Measurement Formula.
The Rating Rule Committee of the British
Yacht Racing Association presented its report
ON Friday last, and several important changes
in the present governing regulations were
recommended. The report is voluminous
paper and treats of the actions of the various
rules under which British yachtsmen have
raced their boats for more than ten years. The
girth measurement is brought out prominently
in the report, which also embraces the several
arguments that have been advanced by some
of the most noted naval architects in England.
An equitable measurement rule has been n
topic of unusual interest on both sides Of the
Atlantic for many years and has been changed
to some extent every year. In 1885 the British
Yacht Racing Association adopted the length
and sail area rule, which was drawn up
BY Dixon Kemp: Designers began l., to ,I1,d eyade
this rule almost from tho start by building
