Nothing short of the formatiou of a Natiouul Yacht Racing Asso- 

 ciation will rouse the sport from its worn-out rut. and save racing 

 from falling to the low stage of mere sandbag professionalism, in 

 which the overrigged and overmanned open boat usurps the place, of 

 the legitimate yacht until racing boats and .-an-lbag sailors become 

 a byword and a reproach to the best anil true interests of the sport- 

 The influence of sandbag racing is pernicious, and u national code of 

 sailing rules alone can cope with this aud similar evils.

 codify the numerous cotitlicting interests of Hie various yacht clubs 

 aloug tin- coast, and of substituting for the present harassing varie- 

 ties one common code of laws to be observed by all clubs claiming

 i he stage of development as yet obtained by yacht racing in America. 

 We think differently, however, and believe that the sooner efforts 

 looking toward the formation of a National Yacht Racing Associa- 

 tion arc made, the better will it he for the furtherance of the highest 

 aims anil interests of the sport, and the quicker will it be rescued from 

 the present stagnation, which certainly results from the. fact that 

 yachting has grown beyond its period of infancy, and. having throw u
