of Events Friday and
Saturday.

Model yacht racing-a serious busi-
ness demonstrated by potential cham
pions and not as practiced by young
sters in the family bathtub-will be
an added attraction on the President S
Cup Regatta program.
From all along the Atlantic sea-
board model yachting enthusiasts will
bring their little craft to compete
next Saturday and Sunday on the
Lincoln Memorial Rejecting Pool for
the championship OF the Eastern Di-
vision Of the Model Yacht Racing
Association Of America.
Staged under rigid rules. the racing
will not see a collection OF nom
iescript boats drifting aimlessly around
the pool. The well-designed. we'll
built yachts that will participate are
equipped with appropriate devices to
control the direction of sailing.
An ancient sport. popular in Eng
land for 4 century or more, model
Yachting was tried in the United
States as early as the lS50s. AL
though few present day clubs date
prior to the World War, interest in
model yachting has risen since 1922
Yachting Monthly" offers a cup
for international competition that has
several times the intrinsic value than
the famed Americas Cup.
The rejecting pool is expected to
furnish suitable sailing water, one
of the prime requisites Of the sport
In some cities civic authorities and
park commissions have acknowledged
the value OF model yachting as a
recreational sport by constructing
basins or pools especially for the past
time.
