~HE yachting season Of 1911 is
now In full blast; everyone who
owns pleasure craft, whether
- It be a 16-foot motor boat or
a 250-foot ocean going steamer. Ia en-
Toying the delights Of being on the
water. It Is the time Of the year when
the yachtsman comes In for his own
and enjoys the sport Of kings and the
king Of sports.
During the past few years. owing
to the perfection of the gasoline mo-
tor, the sport Of yachting has grown
by leaps and bounds. There are in
the United States nearly 600 yacht
and motorboat clubs. with an average
membership Of close to 200.
There is a wide range in types and
sizes, ranging from the big. graceful
square-rigged Aloha, owned by Com
modore James, Of the New York
Yacht Club, and magnificent steam
craft as large as the biggest coasting
steamers to 16-foot motor runabouts.
The sailing fleet. sloops, schooners and
yawls, number hundreds. while there
are innumerable craft Of other rigs,
such as cats, ketches. canoes, etc.
Yachts Of today may be divided
into general classes, such as steam,
motor, auxiliary and sail, but In the
latter class there Is a gradual falling
of, the installation Of motors convert
ing them into the class above.
The sailing craft are divided into
classes according to their rig and the
rig generally used in this country is

was the Seth B. Low. a 5o-footer.
Her crew suffered great hardship. but
they were successful. In 1907 the
first motor boat race from New York
to Bermuda was held between So
footers. The Ailsa Craig won the race
and also the race Of 1908. In 1909
tho victory went to the Heather. q 5S-

Not satisfied with the $50 mile
course of the New York to Bermuda
race the Philadelphia yachtsmen last
year held q race to Bermuda and re-
turn. The outward race was won by
the so-footer. Berneyo. and the So
footer, Caliph, won the race home.
/ There have been scores Of long dis
tanco races Of motor boats in inland
waters. In some races the little boats.

were sent out on the ocean for at
least q few hours, and all OF them
have been instrumental In demonstrate
inc the efficiency Of the gasoline en-
gtns and the skill Of amateur sailors

own craft.
Motor boats are not only taking the
place Of sailing craft but they are
displacing steam yachts. They have
not only the advantages of always be-
ing ready, but they have the speed and
endurance as well as the comfort. The
express steamer Is replaced by the ex-
press motor boat that can make II
to 20 miles an hour.
In size the motor boats are growing.
Steel Is entering into the construction
of their hulls. There are a number
Of these crafts of 30 feet. while there
are two 125 feet long. One Of these
is Of 1000 tons register and Is driven
by three motors of 120 horsepower
each. This motor boat has her own
lighting and refrigerating plant and
has q cruising radius Of 1900 miles
at 20 miles an hour.
Yachts of this type are equipped
with everything possible for comfort
and convenience, such as bathrooms
with hot and cold water and sea in
takes, running water in staterooms.
etc. Indeed. on these larger boats
there are all the comforts OF o first
class hotel and lucky Is he who can
afford to 60 down to sea In such
ship.

W. S. p. Doty For Reelection,

By the authority of W. S. P. Doty
she Sentinel this week presents his
name to the voters of Grenada county
as a candidate fer reelection to the
Office of county attorney, a position to
which he was named by Governor Noel
shortly after the passage Of the lecis-
lative act creating the Office. In going
before the people asking a continued
bestowal of their confidence, MIR. Doty
feels that he is only acting in keeping
with Democratic custom aad that usage
that prompts the public 70 reward .
competent and faithful official. He
was the first to begin the discharge OF
the duties of this Office in Grenada
county, consequently he had the con-
duct and the experience OF no prede-
cessor TO aid him. That he has met
the highest requirement; of the trust
committed to him, cannot be ga;nsaid.
That past experience should the better
qualify Kim fer future service, is AK
ionlaSn. Tdat the duties incumbent
afol = comfy attorney will be much
enlarged with the coming days, when
official machinery adjusts itself to it,
would be but repeating the history of
other departments. That something is
bIdiy needed to strengthen the arm OF
the courts and make more certain the
punishment of cvil-doers, no doubt
had much to do with the passage Of the
law creating the Office.
The Sentinel feels sure that the vo-
tiers will carefully consider all these
questions when they go to make up
their ballots. Aside from MI. Doty's
legal attainments, he is a man of the |
highest integrity and one that always
casts his influence for that which is
best in the community. He is no Mandy
PANTY character, but a man of decided
convictions and one upon whose word
his friends can rely.
The Sentinel bespeaks for him the
consideration always given by a fair
minded public.
