he made at o'clock from a line at
the black and red spar buoy to the

Light This race is sure to attract a
large fleet because it will be many
months before the next open regatta
in these waters is sailed.
During the week the stars will sail
championship races on the Sound and
the winner will be the champion star
of the country. This popular boat is
now found almost everywhere and diff

British In More Races.
There is a possibility. too, that one
OF the British six meter yachts will go
cast and sail series of races for the
Scawanhaka cup. which is now held by
tho Manchester Yacht Club. This cup
was first raced for in 1895, when the
Ehelwyn defeated tho Spruce ~.
British boat. Later the Canadians won
the cup and then 1t went to the Man
chester Yacht Club, where 1t has rested
many years.
Some changes have been made in the
deed Of gift and yachts OF the six meter
class are eligible to challenge for It

terest of the sport should the cup be
taken away for a time.
The recent Inter Club Cruise was not
the success that it's promoters ex-
pected that it would be but many events
interfered with it in one way or an
other. 1t followed right after the Fall
regatta OF the Larchmont Yacht Club
and preceded the International team
races. The fleet gathered at the Man
hasset BAY Yacht Club on Monday even
ing and there the visiting yachtsmen
dined with the Manhasset Bay members
and later enjoyed a dance in the club
house. The next day the run was to
the Indian Harbor Yacht Club and q
very enjoyable time was had From
Indian Harbor they went to Larchmont
and there after dinner there was an
entertainment. At Larchmont tho din
ner was a stag, and the women left alone
on the yachts did not feel kindly
towards the club. At Stamford Yactt
club everyone vas welcome and the
Stamford yachtsrien Taft nothing undone
that would help towards the entertain
ynent- 81 their guests. and at Hunting
ton Bay. TOO. all had a most enjoyable
time Next year the women VIII have
20 be considered everywhere.
This cruise which, was started IL 9l6
and revived this YEAR Will soon grow 10
ba one Of the most popular events OF
the season. This year the time was not
4 good one II was too late IN tne sea-
son ana II has teen suggested that the
third or fourth week Ia Angus. would

George A. Corey. fanailarly called

The vachtsnien after the dinner az the
Stamford Yacht Ciuh He said tao
vachtsmen y1at each week IN the races
nut seldom really became acquainted
with sach other unless they were club
mates Tho regattas nowadays ere
-tarsed lato and finish late SO that every
ono hlGries home IN tho old days tho
vachtsmen gathered In the morning AZ
lie club holding the races and went
shore afterwards 20 talk things over.
Corey thought that tho lnterc,ub cruise
would do much to help 10 build up
yachting because IL wclS ansbie tho
yachtsmen to become f-tter acquainted.
In expressing these views Mr.. Corey
voiced the opinions ~ many and next
year tho cruise will he larger ard bet
ter than ever.
Planning for Next Season.
Plans are ALREADY being made for
next season. 1t has been suggested
that the tine Is rire to promote and
build a new class OF sloops in Glass
and that this instead OF being a one
design class which has been the custom
IN recent years should be built by dif-
ferent designers. one having a Herres-
hoff boat another Gardner. another
Giolow and so on, getting Mower.
Alden and as many designers as possi-
ble TO be represented In the class. This
would be a fine thing for the designers
as IL would enable them to work out
their own ideas OF what Is o fast boat
and at the same time II would give
them some experience and develop some
future American Cup defender. There
may not be another challenge for this
cup for some years but one will come
someday and unless the younger. de-
sisners have bad opportunities to de-
velop their skill there will be no one
capable OF designing q cup yacht.
There has been talk too OF a one de-
eign class Of cruising yawis or ketches
which could be used for on shore cruis-
Ing aS well as for racing. Some yachts
men are discussing a class OF snulI
Hchooners UP to about so feet on he
water line and they have looked over
several types such as the Alden design
boats and tho wanderer TX, the very
attractive and capable schooner built for
Harvey J. Flint from designs by Charles
D. Mower.
Before next season. however. the
Florida season will come and is already
being planned. Several new house boats
and power craft suitable for southerr
waters sreyf,ow building and many who
do not own yachts but who intend going
south this winter are now making in
ariries for yachts that may be Chartered
IL promises 20 be good season in the
south judging by inquiries that have
already been started.
