the Union, the council desire to say that they have endeavored to 
allot to the different clubs the date3 they have applied for. It has 
been found impracticable, however, in the arrangem3nt of the events 
to avoid having but one race on each Saturday, but, as will be noted, 
not more than two races have been scheduled for anv one Saturday 
during the season, and in most cases it will be seen that one race is a 
club's annual regatta and the other a special race. The council re- 
commend that the clubs whose fixtures fall on the same date in this 
way arrange that the club holding an annual regatta avoid offering 
prizes in the classes for which the special race of the other club is 
given, and it is further suggested that special race3 be given for a 
very limited number of classes, either regular or special. 
The racing circuit for the season is recommended to be held from 
June 27 to July 4 inclusive, comprising seven days' racing, and it is 
suggested that the regatta committee of the clubs giving races in the 
circuit confer with each other and make such joint arrangements as 
will conduce to the successes of the different races. 
The council have considered it inadvisable to recognize races given 
by clubs for their own yachts only.

The report of Mr. Tracy on the duties of the regatta committee, after 
some discussion and a slight change, was adopted, as were also amend- 
ments to ih« sailing regulations by E. W. Bidder. 
The motion by Mr. Tracy to classify yachts according to water line 
length, also the motion of Mr. Hower that the Association measure 
the actual sail area of each competing yacht instead of approximat- 
ing it as at present, will come up for action at the next meeting. 
Com. J. E. Gunckel made a few remarks, advising the delegates to 
select good men for office, as the prospects for the coming year were 
very bright. The following were elected officers for 1896:

both Erie and Buffalo are going to give big open regattas. Yachting 
is on the boom and this summer is going to be the banner one of the 
history in lake yachting, and the Interlake Association will be in the 
lead. 
Summer Carnival at Halifax. 
Halifax, N. 8 , is preparing for a grand summer carnival to be held

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
The chairman of the regatta committee of the American Model 
Y. 0. has received a challenge from J. D. Casey, of the club, for the 
Century challenge cup now held by John Smith, owner of Dolphin. 
Mr. Smith is not at present a member of the club. The date named 
is May 30. The club will soon be established in its new station, Thirty- 
fourth street, South Brooklyn, where a new house is being built. The 
cha lenging yacht, Henrietta, is 67in. over all,46tn. 1 w.l., 14in., beam, 
13in. draft, 55% lbs. displacement. She is a new boat, just completed. 
The 80-footer designed by H. C. Wlntrlngham for J. R, Maxwell, and 
now building by the Spalding-St. Lawrence Co at Ogdensburgh, will 
be named Argonaut. Her dimensions are given as 42ft, lOia. over all, 
29ft. 6in. l.w.l , Oft. 7in. beam and 7ft. draft. The S.-8. Co. are alBo 
building a second boat for Mr. Maxwell from Wintringham's designs , 
al5-footerto be named Monsoon. She will be a bulb-fin, 22ft. 6in. 
over all, 14ft. 8in. l.w.l. and 4ft. 6in. beam, 
Lake Michigan genius is coming to the front rapidly this winter, and 
now another designer from this water is out with a model from 
which a sloop will probably be built before the yachting season opens 
on Decoration Day. The proposed boat will be in the same class as 
the Vincedor and the other fin-keel building at Racine for a Chicago 
syndicate. The designer is Charles Tllden Sleeper, of this city, who 
was an active yachtsman during the '70s. He has been working out 
this idea for the past eight years, and in that time has made a dozen 
models, each of which was a modification of its predecessor. Tbe 
latest model calls for a 44ft. waterline, and, the designer claims, will 
carry a sail spread that will make some of the old tars who love to 
crack on all tne cloth that's bent open their eyes. He provides for all 
fixed ballast to be carried on the keel, but not in the shape of a fin. 
There will be 8 tons of outside ballast which will thio out perceptibly 
toward the forefoot, the heaviest weight being directly under the 
amidships section of the waterline. He has pared away every super- 
fluous inch of fullness until the model shows a knife edge from every 
point of observation. The general dimensions to which this model 
is constructed are: Length, 44ft., load waterline; beam, 13ft. 6in on 
waterline, 14ft. above waterline and 13ft. 6in. on deck; draft, 8ft. 6in. 
Another Chlcagoan is out for honors as a designer and possioly may 
build a 40-footer from his own peculiar ideas in time for entry in next 
Bummer's big races. The gentleman in question is W. R. Crawford, 
of the Columbia Y. C. He has for some time past been studying out 
a model of his own, and had his plans all laid to build this winter when 
he was taken sick with typhoid fever. He is now ia Florida conva- 
lescing, and if his physiciau will allow him to engage in the exciting 
sport of racing during the coming summer, an order will be placed 
for a 40-footer next month. The entire plans and specifications have 
been left in charge of his brother, who would have contracted for the 
boat before this but for the peremptory orders of the medical man 
that Mr. Crawford must not think of going into such exciting sport 
for another year unless the next thirty days show marked and almost 
impossible recovery of strength. If not built for tbe summer of 1896, 
this boat will be one of the cracks of 1897.— Chicago Times- Her aid. 
The De La Vergne Machine Co., foot of East 138th street, New York 
city, has recently erected a large boat shop in connection with its 
machine works, and has entered extensively into the building of power 
boats, propelled by a gasoline engine invented by A Hirsch. In addi- 
tion to a number of small boats the company are building is a hand- 
some craft for Mr. C. H. Osgood, of the N. Y. Y. C, to be used on the 
Thames River and Fisher's Island Sound, and a combined freight and 
passenger boat for parties in Boothbay, Me, Mr. John Adams Eppig 
has also placed an order with the company for an auxiliary cruiser, 
which promises to be a very handsome and serviceable craft. Her 
principal dimensions are: Length 50ft. , beam 10ft., draft 3ft. 6in , and 
schooner-rigged. The yacht is intended for long cruises in home and 
Southern waters, and while a high rate of speed is desired she is in- 
tended principally for cruising, and from her Interior arrangement 
will be unusually well adapted to the purpose for a craft of that size. 
Directly aft of the pilot house, which is fltted with a comfortable berth 
and lockers, is the main saloop, 12ft. long by 8ft. wide, opening from 
the after end to a passage leading to the companionway, on the star- 
board side of which is a large galley and on the port side toilet rooms, 
. etc. She will have considerable deck room, and aft of the cabin house 
is a large cockpit running nearly to the taffrall. Like all the other De 
La Vergne boats, the machinery is concealed from sight, in this case 
being under the cockpit floor, and as the exhaust is under water there 
is no unsightly stack or machinery visible to mar the appearance of 
the boat or exhale disagreeable odors. The engine is regulated and 
controlled by a lever in the pilot house, thereby enabling one man to 
act as pilot and engineer witho ut leaving the helm. 
Robert Lenox Belknap, one of the old members of the Seawanhaka 
Corinthian Y. C, died at his home in New York on March 12, of 
Bright'a disease. Mr. Belknap at one time owned the sloop 
Arrow and later purchased the 85ft. Priscilla and converted her into 
the schooner Elma. He was born in New York in 1848, and has been 
prominent in business for many years, of late being identified with 
large interests in Wisconsin. He juned the 7th Regiment in 1866, 
being promoted until, in 1876 he became Lieutenant-Colonel and Chief 
of Staff, retaining that position until 1880, when he resigned , He de- 
voted much of his time to charitable and philanthropic work, being a 
trustee of the Princeton Theological Seminary, treasurer of the 
Society of the Lying-in Hospital, and for several years a vice-presi- 
dent of the Presbyterian Social Union, of New Y«rk city. He was a 
member of the Union, Union League, University, Down Town, New 
York Yacht, Seawanhaka Yacht and Psi Upsilon clubs, of New York, 
and of the Minnesota Club, of Sr. Paul, the Society of the Cincinnati, 
of the Society of Colonial Wars, and the New York 8ociety of the 
Sons of the Revolution. His frank and kindly disposition endeared 
him to all who came in contact with him. He leaves a widow and six 
children.
