Bed Dragon C. C. 
Tbe Red Dragon C. C, of Philadelphia, is looking forward to a lively 
season, though the interest will center in the new 15-footers and not 
in canoe racing. The sailing canoe no longer figures in the club's 
races and but one race is tcbeduled. The fixtures are as follows: 
Saturday, June 6, 15ft. class; Saturday, June 20, annual spring re- 
gatta; Saturday, July 11, 15ft. class; Saturday, Sept. 5, club trophy, 
canoe sailing race; Saturday, Sept. 12, 15ft. class and annual fall re- 
gatta. 
Between July 4 and 18 the club will hold an invitation race for 15- 
footers and mosquito boats. The club has some five canoe yawls in 
commission and a class will be made for them in their races. Some six 
or seven new 15-footers will be ready for the first race. A spring 
freshet in the Delaware carried away the seawall and flagstaff, but 
the wall has been rebuilt and a new pole with topmast set up oh the 
wharf. Though canoe racing is exciting little interest, members are 
preparing for canoe cruises to Hopatcong and other places.
