CANOE|STS HOLD REGATTA
Best Day in Years for Annual
Fixture on Gravesend Bay.

Tbroueb the courtesy of the Marine and
FIELD Club the New York Canoe Club was
enabled to hold its postponed annual re-
gatta on Gravesend Bay yesterday after
noon. Originally the event was scheduled
for Saturday June %. The worst squat
of the year broke on that day, however
and the canoemen were compelled TO post
pone their regatta. AS 1t was not only
the annual regatta of the club that gave
the races. but also the ninth champion
ship race of the Yacht Racing Assocla-
ton of Gravesend Bay, an excellent fleet
of thirty-one starters had gathered around
the Carrie NJ. Potter, the committee boat
1t was the first really good yachting
day that the New York Canoe Club has
had in several years 4 steady breeze
from the south by west blew throughout
the afternoon, and although it was not
particularly strong it had enough force
to send the boats around the course in
excellent time.
Unfortunately the wrecking of mark
spoiled the race among the dingies of
the New York Canoe Club These boats
went once around four-nile course with
IN Gravesend Bay with points off Ben
sonhurst. Fort Hamilton and Sea Gate,
leaving all marks to port.
AS the wind came the boats had broad
reach on the starboard tack from the
starting line to the Bensonhurst mark, a
gybe and another broad reach to Fort
Hamilton. followed by a beat to Sea Gate
When the little fellows reached the end
of their weather leg they found the mark
was missing.
Several rounded Commodore Charles
Sweeney's flagship, the Emeline. which was
at anchor off the Sea Gate Club Others
started for the finish line without bother
ing to turn any mark
The Sheets the property of r. de F..
Bayley. was the first to cross the finish
line. She was at once protested by the
other boats. No decision. however. was
rendered by the regatta committee, made
up of Louis s. Tiemann. chairman D. D.
AIlerton. E. Fishel and D. A. Mount
The racing in the Q class was spoiled by
the absence OF the Grayiacket and the
Soya. These boats are both out of the
water. being cleaned for the Thompson
trophy series that is to start on Wednes-
day under the auspices of the Atlantic
Yacht Club.
r. a. Browns Florence and Hendon
Chubb's Spider had an interesting scrap,
however. with the former winning by IS
seconds over 10.5 mile course. The Flor
ence had the better OF the start and led at
every mark. At the end of the first round
the times taken We're the Florence 4oo14,
and the Spider 4:00:50.
Although the boat made a poor start the
Blue Bill again was the winner among the
S boats The work of the craft during
the season has made her strong favor
tie for the Upton Cup series, which is TO be
held under the auspices of the Crescent
Athletic IYh ha of,
Atlantic Yacht Club
P. Crovath's Mouse was the winner
among the knockabouts of Gravesend Bay
AS the official Handicapped was away on a.
vacation last week the handicap divisions
raced without knowing their allowances
1t is therefore impossible to announce the
winners Of these classes

The Rules Committee.

Washington. March 23.-Through
the maze OF speculation regarding
the probable personnel of the en-
larged rules committee of the house
was developed a slate for Republican
membership in that body.
Several conferences were held.
and as a result II is understood that
the members OF the committee may
be selected on a geographical basis.
The tentative plan is divided into
groups out of which the leaders ex-
pect one each to be chosen. The
groups follow:
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania.
Smith, of Iowa.
Mccall OF Lawrence, of Massa-
chusetts, or j. Sloat Fsssett, of New
York.
Boutell. of Illinois, or Longworth,
Of Ohio.
Young of Michigan. or Stevens. OF
Minnesota.
Smith, of California. or Hawley
of Oregon, or Howell, of Utah.
From this slate the six Republican
members of the committee may be
selected at the Republican caucus,
This list Of probable selections does
not include a single insurgent Re-
publican.
A member of the house organiza-
tion said the organization desired II
TO be understood that 1t was taking
no part in the selection of the new
committee.
Speaker Cannon Is not taking any
leading or dominating part in the
proceedings OF the house, nor is he
talking for publication about his at
titude on the subject. From a
source very near the speaker, II was
learned that he felt that the major
ity, which had taken control of things
last Saturday, was now responsible
for legislative matters and that II
might be poor taste for him to make
suggestions or to attempt to have
anything to do with the directing OF
affairs.
Representative Dickinson, of Indi-
ana. is prominently mentioned as one
of the Democratic members of the
rules committee.
All shades of party politics en-
gagged in informal Individual confer
ences over the situation in the house
Some of the Democrats commended
the attitude OF the insurgents and ex-
pressed their personal regard for the
speaker. though insistent upon the
course mapped out by the voting oi
last Saturday.
No Disrespect TO Cannon.
81 did not base my support OF
the Burleson resolution, declaring
the speakers chair vacant, on any
personal ill-feeling toward the speak
err" said Representative Sims, OF Ten
nessee. 81 have never used a word
of disrespect toward him In my life.
I approve the position of the insur-
gents who voted against the Burle-
son resolution on the high ground OF
reforming the house procedure in
stead Of showing personal antagon-
ism to the present speaker, | voted
for the resolution on its intrinsic
i merits-not on account OF the par
ticular occupant of the chair"
