Offending Excursion Boats at Yacht
Race Will Be Stopped BY Shot.
Washington, Sept. 2S-Assistant Sec
rotary Spaulding of the Treasury has
approved the rules and regulations for
the governments of, the course during
the coming races which were submit
ted by a committee of the New York
Yacht Club. There are nine rules pro-
viding for the position of the patrol
fleet in every possible contingency and
insuring a clear course.
A clear space q half mile about the
starting line will be maintained until
the race has started. After crossing
the line, the torpedo fleet will form
column and stand on a course parallel
with the yachts. The revenue cutters
will form line astern. This formation
will insure clear space one mile wide
astern of and to windward of the com
peting yachts. Provision is made for
maintaining this space under any con
ditions. Elaborate rules are laid down
for the triangular races. On the run in
all vessels will be kept from crossing
the sailing line of the yachts, but must
keep to leeWard of the patrol line. Vio-
lation of these rules will incur the same
penalty as the violation of the naviga-
ton laws of the United States. Of
Tending vessels will be brought to with
a shot and sent back to New York in
charge of a venue officer.
