Baker plans to sail her over her accus-
toned cruising ground this month.
When the King Of Italy offered prize
for ali auxiliary boat race from this
country to Rome he failed to interest
yachtmen at large, but succeeded In IN
stilline the idea into the minds of three
intrepid sajorrnen-Thomas Fleming Day.
q tor of the Rudder; 7. r. Goodwin and
Fred b. Thurber. They started from the
Rhode Island Yacht Club at PaWtucket,
on Narragansett bay. Saturday, June TO-
and by this time should be somewhere out
on the broad Atlantic between that port
and the Azores. which will be the first
stop. The truise is being made in
25.3x.iaxs. 4-foot auxiliary yawl called the
Sea Bird carrying 400 square feet of sail
and equipped with three-horsepower
Knox engine. She was designed by c. ID.
Mower and Thomas +. Day in 1901 for
off shore cruising and since the Launching
hardest kind in open sea work have
proved her to be equal to such a trip as
IS now being undertaken.
Frank T. Rawlings handsome house
boat Griselda will go into commission In
a few days. and it is believed that the
popular ex-commodore will take her to
Colonial Beach, az usual.
NJ. Darrieulat's auxiliary sloop Mary
T. will not accompany the fleet this sum
mer, as Dairy has resigned from the
Tub, much to the regret of all the mem
bers. who know him to be one OF the
most enthusia site sailors that ever spliced
the main-brace.
Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock the Po
will pull out of Union station for Phila-
delphia to attend the Peoples regatta

Bachelors Club as usual. and Joe DAILY.

The men who have been picked to carry
the Potomac tolors to victory are j. l..
Vandergrift. Ted Quintard. Edgar Hough.
james kehoe. Sam Fisher. Claude Park
er. l.. r. Hoppe. Louie Meldervich and
John M Kinney. coxswain.
Bill Bromley will have charge of the
boat during transit and after its arrival
at the Quaker city, as no one else would
be trusted to attend to such important
matters as unsh piping riggers before ship
men. and rigging them properly upon the
arrival of the outfit. Some surprise mas
been expressed that Walter Thrall will
not enter anything in the coming meet
but Walter is working for the biggest
thing of the year. the Middle States, La
Dor day Ed Mueller will rrobaby enter
in that regatta. besides the old veteran
senior crew, which has ben recognized.
This crew is composed of the following
"huskies," all of whom have of course
won races and know what to expect when
the gun goes off: John Evans. Earl Coul-
try, Arthur Bell. Wayne Hart. Ed Muel-
Ter, Wallace Miller. Walter Thra!l. Frank
Smith and Bob Slocume. coxswain.
During the last week they have tackled
the junior crew several times. and their
inability to trim the youngsters shows
that the red and white crowd are not very
apt to come home broke. All hands will
return after the races via Atlantic City.
Next Saturday the Potomac Boat Club |
excursion to Marshall HALL will be on,
and all are looking forward to having a
good time at the popular resort. Mem
