YACHTS HERE JULY 8.
The Summer Cruise of the Atlantic
 Club,

The Summer Cruise of the Atlantic
 Club.
 This week will probably witness a final selection of cruising plans by the Atlantic Yacht club. To-day the re- gatta committee, of which Newbury D. Lawton Is chairman, will meet commo- done Gould and submit for his approv- al the schedule of races already ar ranged for the month of June, The lat ter includes the annual regatta on June 15, the special ocean race on June 12, and the Adams cup contests on two separate Saturdays.
 It is also expected that Commodore Gould will take definite steps toward adopting a plan for the annual cruise along the sound in July. The commo- dore will take one of three courses. He will select a program of his own liking, consult the flag officers or request the regatta committee to draw up what it's members consider to be the most satis- factory schedule for the yearly fleet sailing. Up to date nothing has been decided, although number of plans
 
 has met with almost universal favor is that suggested by Secretary David E. Austen. If adopted in part or as a whole 1t will furnish a variety of rac- ing events, beside permitting the At lantic boats to participate in three open regattas in Long Island sound. Sum marized, the proposed plan is as fol- lows:
 Monday, July 5-Rendezvous at Larchmont, participating in the Larch- mont clubs annual regatta. Tuesday, July 6--Informal run to American Yacht club American Yacht club races. Reception and ball in the evening.
 Wednesday, July 7.-Informal run to Riverside. Riverside races. Reception at the regatta's conclusion
 Thursday, July s-First squadron run to Morris Cove, New Haven. l Friday, July 10-Second squadron run to New London. . | Saturday, July 10-Third squadron run to Shelter Island.
 ! Sunday July 11--At Shelter Island. 1 Monday July 1s-AOpen races to all 1 clubssand working yachts at Shelter Island Special courses in Gardiner's bay. 1l-
 Open Race Suggestion. | The program suggested for Monday, July 12, would be novel feature of the cruise. After a few informal row. l ing and steam launch races it has been the custom to disband at Shelter | Island, but an open race as 8 con clusion to the cruise would be enjoy able to all concerned.
 There can be little doubt that Com | modore Gould will sanction the ar engagement of the June races. The an- l nual regatta and the special race for l schooners and sloops, each sailing in l one class, are naturally the most i'm portant. It is almost certain that the l Syce, which was recently launched for l F. M. Hoyt of the Stamford Yacht club, i will enter the latter having as two of l her opponents the Wayward and the Wasp. The race in the schooner class | will probably be dual contest be- | tween the Colonia and the Emerald and it will furnish the first oppor- l tunity of judging their comparative merits since Mir MaxwelPs yacht was altered.
 The one gun start will be employed in ali of the Atlantic Yacht clubs races 1 this year.
 The starting signal for one class will serve as the preparatory gun for the next, and yachts will not be allowed five minutes to cross the line as was for merly the case
