about two months ago, it has come as
blessing to the local clubs and wa
ters. Its work has already extended
to the summer clubs and to the nation
al association, the American Power
Boat Association.
Getting together with two live men
from each club on the waters of the
Delaware looked like a good PROPOSE
tion to DR.. c. S. Street, the president
of the association, so, with his usual
hustle, he formed this association, and
at once the Delaware River Yacht
Racing Association jumped to the
front, and has at this time some of the
best events in yachting for the season.
The D. R. Y. r. A. does not give
| races, but the body of men (two from
each club see to it that races are
planned and all data secured for their
successful running.
| tee, yet this same committee acts with
tee, yet this anne committee acts with
the Regatta Committees of the associ-
atoms clubs for the purpose of lend
ing helping hand and securing boats
for the races.
During the preliminaries pertaining
| to the recent successful race of the
Philadelphia Yacht Club, tbs associa-
tion gave it's support, and most every
club of the association sent to that
hustler at Essington, John C. McAvoy,
cruiser or speed boat McAyoy de-
| serves the credit for these glorious two
days of racing, and all coming events
will have to get wiggle on to be in
the same class.
The next race that will have the
support of the association is the
Yachtmen's Club ocean race, scheduled
for July 8. Many entries have been
secured and some ten boats are about
to sign for the open sea contest of 200
nautical miles.
The Ventnor City Yacht Club has
the honor of starting the race, and
will give to the visiting yachtsmen an
elaborate smoker and reception on
Friday night before the men get under
way to see which boats can cover the
course in the shortest time.
A feature of this race is the selec-
ton of the prizes by the winners after
the event. Caldwell's, Bailey, Banks &
Biddle, Riggs Bros. and John Hand
Company, Philadelphia, have sent to
the Ventnor Club many handsome nau-
tical articles to choose from
The contest between Ilys, Caliph,
Isabella II and Commodore Robert
Moore's Mariada will be a corker. and
the little fellows will have a great
sea fight between themselves. DR..
