The proposition Is that we, in- small cabin yacht owncis, do estab- 

 lish ;■ sailing eluhfoi ihce.-pecinl pioinoiionof seamanship, sailing, 

 cruising una racing lu small cabin yachts, In, which no y.iclit over 

 thirty feel vrator line length can be enrolled j thai, all yachts enrolled 

 lnusf be cabin bonis mid musi curry nxed weight only: that the 

 fees must be nxed and moderate, iku to exceed $10 lor initiation and 

 js for dues— no assessments; and thai great scrutiny he used, as to 

 membership, so as to uiuko the onram/.ation acceptable to t;cntle- 

 mon. 



Now, os an old yachting man, l extend an earnest, invitation to all 

 who are willing to form such a sailing club to send In their names to 

 the Yachting Editor of this iourm.1, who lias kindly consented to re- 

 ceive- them: aim 1 propose thai, as s-nou as twelve yacht owners be- 

 sides myself have Indorsed my proposition we have si. meeting. In 

 which ,i general plan or Organization .an be agreed upon, views in- 

 terchanged and i dies ,.nd regulations can be discussed by all. 



) can slate h-ic unit man., yachtsmen have long timed mo to make 

 public this proposition, and that rour yachtsmen besides myself will 

 join, with twelve ot.tmrs this would make scveuiecn yachts to start 

 with, 1 think ihere Is no doubt bul that aclub can be torint-d so 

 strong thai it will at once take Iront rank over all those devoted to 

 small yachts. Franklin Hkauks.
