| Prizes will probably be awarded next
Thursday night, at the regular monthly
meeting of the club, and the winners will
| be consulted before the trophies are
bought so that they will receive what
| they most need in the way of boat fit
tings Because of the unlock editor inter-
| est manifested in the race for class Il
boats the regatta committee decided that
| a second prize be awarded the Louise, as
| she made a remarkable run, but could
not be given first place because of her
excess power
| Vice Commodore Chandlee was expected
| to enter his cruiser Wanderer. but up to
noon Sunday his power plant refused to
CO. and he was forced to abandon both
race and oyster roast.
| The committee in charge had everything
| in readiness by the time the first boat
! arrived and though between 30 and
various styles and everything that goes
with them, there was nary an appetite
! unsatistied Every member of the club
attended. with the exception of Otto Brait-
mayer and Dan Fowler, who were en-
route from Annapolis on the Grace. and
all declared 1t to be the first real roast
the Capital Yacht Club has ever given.
For these complimentary remarks the
entertainment committee must be given
credit, and especially Clyde Cruit. who
put the usual Grace K. push behind
everything, and Gene Hartley. on the re-
gatta committee, ably assisted by Com
modore Hewins. also helped to crown
the last event of the year with unlocked
for success
The feast continued until about :;
oclock in the afternoon. during which
time acrobatic stunts were occasionally
pulled off by Clyde Cruit. George Dalton
and Pat" Pattison. On the homeward
trip the Grace X, was towed by the
Alice and the Freya by the Iona, and
every one reached the anchorage before
dark
Fred De 3. Weston. former owner OF

a Y class yawl before next season and

The speedboat Dark Horse won the
races held by the Eastern Power Boat
Club at River View last Sunday. The
races were a feature of that organiza-
tons second annual oyster roast. The
other boat in the race was the August
Belmont.

A short time ago the report was circu-
lated that the Chenoden had been sold.
During the past week it was learned that
the prospective buyer stipulated that the
craft must be of such design below decks
that an engine could be installed and,
finding this impossible. declined to make
the purchase. The Baltimore boat will
doubtless be seen in the races again
next summer.
If the Potomac Boat Club secures the
Middle States regatta next summer 1t will
probably be necessary to put the crews in
the hands OF q professional coach. as
Josh Slocome is going west after the
1st of January.
The "admirars" departure will be Sc
we're loss to the club. as he demonstrated
last summer his ability as coach.
