THAT is true, Jack, but perhaps you
will be better off. Attending an in
auguration ceremony at Washington
isn't always a pleasant experience
The weather in Washington is very
changeable and very frequently they
have the worst kind of weather on
March 4. Only fe wyears ago when
they had a big inaugural ceremony
there was a big storm of snow and
sleet whic hdelayed the trains and
caused great suffering to people who
were in Washington for the Inaugural
ton. oldiers were lined up in advance
in preparation for the parade, and
miles of the streets in every direction
fro mthe Capital were filled with SOL
diers who stood ankle deep in snow
and slush. Citizens sucered the same
inconvenience but of course, that was
of their own choice. The soldiers had
to obey orders. Thousand swere made
sick and an unknown number died
from the exposure.

methods of sailing model crafts The first is
the hit-or-miss system of following the boat
around the edge of the pond on foot and SHOW
ing her about with stick when she makes
contact with the edge; the second is the more
advanced policy of trailing the boat in skiff
and giving her the benefit of constant personal
attention. The latter method is the one which
will be used in the big event. though the com
mittee has not yet come to an agreement

Each time contestant touches his boat for

Contrary to the prevailing opinion this in
ternational cup race for model yachts is not
to be bathtub regatta. 1t is legitimate af-
fair, staged by adults and conducted on a pro-
fessional basis, with every promise of falling
only little short of being a regular Sir
Thomas Upton front page sporting spectacle
AS originally planned, the contest was to
have held conspicuous position on the 1921
calendar. But when the committees buckled
down to the job Of arranging the details, it
was readily seen that q cup race, even for
model yachts, involved international reputa-
tions and could not be entered into lightly by
any of the parties concerned. A postponement
until the spring Of next year was the inevitable
outcome Of the preliminary negotiations
Meanwhile, word has been passed on to the
various model yacht clubs, from Central Park

Lake to the outer reaches Of Flushing Bay,
that all craft in Class M, with racing length
Of not over forty-six inches and drawing less
than sixteen inches, will be eligible to compete
for the privilege of upholding Uncle Sans
banners in the coming encounter with the pick
Of John Bulls diminutve fleet. If the sport
needed any impetus, this thrilling announce
ment met all the requirements.
Commodore John O. Berg of the Central
Park Model Yacht Club, yachtsman who has
sailed and designed model boats for thirty
years, is the main source of the authentic in
formation which we have gathered in regard
to the probable arrangements which will be
made for the sailing of the international
event. The race will undoubtedly be staged
either on Flushing Bay or on Manhattan Bav
The lake in Central Park, while being con-
sidered seriously, is thought to be too small
for adequate maneuvers
Broadly speaking, there are two principal
New-York tribune., 1921-06-12

to come to a satisfactory agreement with the
British officials. AT an early date the COM
plete plans for the race will be given to the
press. A suitable trophy has been offered for
the competition.
Down through years of experience the jib-
headed rig, miscalled the Marconi rig, has
evolved as the speediest type of small racing
craft. This is the type that will shove off in
the swells of the lower bay or tackle the rip
pies of Central Park lake in a determined
effort to clinch the model yacht championship
for America.
Unless there is a sudden drift from the
sport-mad panic of the nation, the model
yacht race should find its way into the head
lines on frequent occasions between now and
the final settlement of the precarious issue.
At any rate, the 46-inch sailing vessel will be
given definite hearing before worldwide
audience Perhaps-who can tell?-it will
crowd the six-day bike race off the chart.
