YACHTSMEN REVIVE
THE BERMUDA RACE
Renewal Of Famous Classic
Due to Change in Rules
of Measurement.
NEW SYSTEM MORE FAIR

There will he a revival Of the Bermuda
race this year. For various reasons thi s
contest. which began 40 we'll some years
ago.. fell on in popularity. and II is thought
that the rules Of measurement INC the
time allowance tables we're chiefly respon-
sible for this lack Of interest. Under the
last rules It was claimed by owners of fair
sized boats that they had no chance Of
success against smaller craft because the
time allowance was excessive. Now tho
rules have been changed. In taking the
horsepower of the engines the number oi
revolutions n minute are taken into con
sideration. and thus the actual rating of
the engine can he figured.

New 999 Class Popular
With Motor Boat Club
Designer Is Now at Work on Second Lot Of Speedy
Craft for Which Many Races Are
Being Arranged.

Morris NJ Whitaker already has sold
the first five of 900 class Of motor
boats which are for members OF the
Motor Boat Club OF America. This class
was organized 10 boom the sport this
year and to interest men Of moderate
means. The model selected IL one that
will be seaworthy and fast and the cost
Is limited 10 s9oe. Now the designer
Is starting the second I'VE, and he hopes
that by Decoration Day there will he at
least a dozen In this class. August
Heckscher is one OF the second five
owners. These boa.s will have all the
racing their owners want. as in addi-
ton TO the Motor Boat Club OF Amer
lea. several other clubs already ave
announced races of this class during the
summer months.
Morris Whitaker has resigned as sec
rotary Of the Motor Boat Club OF Amer
lea II II. W. Williams has been chosen
as his successor. When Commodore
Rlackton accepted the office Of senior
flag officer he announced that he wished
10 eliminate the trade element In the
club. He did this. he said. in order to
boom amateur sport. and he was fearful
hat II the builders OF boats or engines
were in control the sport would not get
on as we'll as il should. At that meet
ing Mr.. Whitaker handed in his resig-
nation, but i was not accepted. because
there was no one available just then to
take the office. MIR. Whitaker thoroughly
iudorsed the views OF Commodore Black
ton. but since then a semi-monthly pub
. icatipn has seen tit TO Criticise the !
and Commodore BlaCkton and has pointed
out that Mr.. Whitaker represents the
trade and has used his office to pro-
mote the 99g class. Mr.. Whitaker's res
ienatlon was accepted by the club before
the order Tor the new one design class
4 was placed. and his being secretary had
nothing TO do with his success in bid
ding for the new boats.
II il probable that the course laid
out for the race from New York to San
Francisco will be changed. Those who
laid out this course have shown that
they knew little about long distance rae
ing or even about the tides and weather
1 conditions Of thc Caribbean. As il now
stands. the racers are to touch first at
Charleston, then at Key West, and then
passing west of cuba run to Colon,
This would be a most dangerous course,
Af.cr leaving Key West the boats would
have TO buck a strong current all the
way to Colon. and having gone many
miles 10 the westward Of the true course
would have to run back, so that by this

Gently made their way to Guam with a
report that the inha bitants Of Rota were
starving and begged that outside assist
ance be furnished them as speedily as
possible. These islands. which were
taken from the Germans by the Jap

ago. in a manner not announced and
no crops have been raised since on &C
count of drought according to Gov.
Maxwell. Of Guam.
, Reports to this effect, first made to the
Navy Department, were transmitted to
the American Red Cross yesterday by
the State Department. The Secretary OF
the Navy had urged that the State De-
partment try to get Red Cross supplies
in Manila which could be forwarded to
Rota on the L. s. S. Supply. as Guam
was facing a crop failure and was ac-
tually depending itself for food on the
L. s. S. Supply.
The American Red Cross yesterday ar
ranged by cable to have foodstuffs placed
on the Supply at Manila for the natives
Of Rota Islands. The steamer will sail
from Manila August u for Guam and
will visit Rota Island en- route. The
