YACHTING PARTIES ARE QUITE
A RAGE THIS SUMNER.

There are a number of other pri-
vate yachts and houseboats on the
Potomac these days and parties on
board this or that yacht are quite
the fashion. Senator and Mrs.
Frelinghuysen have made their
home during the greater part Of
the summer on their yacht, the Vic
toria, and are always slipping
away for a day or two cruise on
board the delightful little craft.
The Victoria is anchored in the
channel just off Potomac Park
when the Frelinghuysens are in the
city.
President Harding and his party
used the Victoria to make their
Florida trip shortly after his cleo
tion. The yacht is now on a ten-day
cruise with the Senator and Mrs,
Frelinghuysen, after WHICH it will
again be anchored off Potomac
Park until Congress recesses.
Another pleasure boat seen fire.
quently in the waters of the Poto-
mac is ]. P. Morgan's Corsair. Sena-
tor Boies Penrose has a delightful
sailboat with auxiliary motor,
which is generally in New York
waters. He has not used II this
summer, remaining at his huge
apartment in Wardman Park. Other
Washingtonians who own large
pleasure craft are Lieut.. Col. and
Mrs William Cline Bordeon, who

TWO CAPITAL YACHT CLUBS
HAVE MANY SMALL CRAFT.
-HE National Capital has two
yacht clubs, the Capital and
i the Corinthian. The Capital, of
which Comdr. Richard Clyde Cruitt
is commodore. has about 125 small
boats. sailboats with auxiliary en-
gines and small gasoline launches.
The other club has as commodore
DR.. A. &. Bennett. who is now cruis-
ing on the Chesapeake Bay on his
yacht the Oregon. There are other
boat clubs on the river for smaller
craft, mostly canoes. Canoeing is a
sport which grows in popularity
every year, and in the upper reaches
Of the river are camps for canoeists
OF every size and kind. OF the
larger clubs for small craft are the
Analostan Boat Club, the Potomac
Boat Club and the Washington Ca
noe Club.
AMERICANS FIND FEW
YACHTS IN FOREIGN WATERS.
1t has been said that the thou
sands of Americans who are pass
ing the summer in Europe are much
rufled that So few yachts or fine
boats from this side of the world
are to be seen. Though this ma
ton is the most prosperous of all,
and one unfailing way to Judge
national wealth is by the number
of yachts commissioned by its pri-
vate citizens. the absence of pleas
ure craft in foreign waters is con-
spicuous. Though there are many
Westinghouse who own and op-
crate houseboats and yachts there
is not one who maintains a regu-
lar seagoins yacht comparable to
hundreds used every summer by Ger
man and Scandinavian mobiles. Dog
