CONSIDER NEW RULE.
Atlantic Club Discusses Measurement to Dis
courage "Seow' Type

The Atlantic Yacht Club met ar the Nsw-Yort'
Club. Thrty-hfth-st. and F1fth-ave.. last night. To
consider the adoption Of new rule Of measure
ment similar IN respects to the rating ruls
adopted last year by the New-York Yacht Club
The racing men OF the club out in forces and
there was considerable discussion of the new rule.
Under rule CMeasurement the Atlantic Yacht
Club formula for the classification and time allow
ance OF yachts Is given as follows:
The rating measurement equals the length multi
piled by the square Of the sail area. divided
by So times the cubic root Of displacement
Length in the formula is measured a line
parallel with the middle fore and aft vertical plans
at a distance from it equal to one-quarter OF the
greatest beam above it. Any unfairness Of form
for the apparent purpose of shortening the length
is to be trued Up. and the yacht measured between
fair lines.
The object OF the new rule is 70 encourage the
building Of yachts OF good displacement. moderate
overhangs. liberal accommodations and good sea
boats with fair amount OF speed II Is also m
tended TO tax all yachts OF the "scow type
The CHIEF difference between the proposed rl =
OF the Atlantic Yacht Club and that 0. the New
York Yacht Club existing is the differences m
the means Of obtaining the length, In the new
classified ton the yachts are divided into groups
that existing boats may sail In the same classes
before. at the same time rating them as near
the top OF their respective classes as possible.
