NEW BODY TO KEEP
The STARS SHINING
CORY Forms Association to
Foster Racing Interests
Of Small Yachts.
MANY REGATTAS on TAP

The Star Association is the latest
yachting organization and II has been
promoted by George A. Cory. an earnest
supporter Of small yacht sailing. There
are now hfty-eight stars and efforts have
been made to have one big race before
successful. but tho stars are scattered
and II would he difficult to get all In one
harbor. Th association haS been
FORMED to protect the present owners
and To prevent the class being spoiled
because one or two men with plenty
of means can haul out Ms often as they
like and buy new suits of sails for every
race. Whcn men do things like these
they ruin the class for the man Of mod
crate means.
