Saturday, Sept. 5. 
The seventh regatta of the Y. R. A. of G. B. was 
held on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. S, under the 
auspices of the New York C. C. Twenty-one boats 
started in the event. A bad thunder squall toward the 
end caused sevn of the craft to withdraw. 
The wind at the start was E. S. E. Courses were 
covered in reverse order, leaving all marks to port. 
This gave classes M and N, which went once over the 
outside course, a series of reaches. The first mark 
was the Craven Shoal bell buoy, the second the Red 
Can buoy ofif Coney Island Point. The start was off 
the New York C. C. anchorage. 
Classes P and under at the start of the race had a 
run to the Marine and Field Club mark, a reach to 
Fort Hamilton, windward work to the stake boat off 
Sea Gate and a reach home. When the squall broke 
the wind shifted into the W. and finally into the N. W. 
Most of the boats were then between the Fort Hamil- 
ton mark and the one ofif Sea Gate. The shift gave 
them a run and then a beat home. The summary:

_ Ametican Canoe Association* 
To the Members of the A. C. A. : 
I wish to thank the officers, chairman and members 
of the various committees for their labor and efforts 
to make the meet at Sugar Island a success this year. 
The work of Mr. James K. Hand and the balance of 
his Regatta Committee was especially pleasing and 
satisfactory. 
To each and every member that attended camp, I 
wish to extend my gratitude for their kind indulgence 
in overlooking many things which are apt to occur 
of an exasperating nature in preparing camp, etc. 
Also their kindness to myself and good fellowship made 
is most heartily appreciated. 
The courtesies of the mayor and citizens of Gana- 
noque, which were extended to the members of the A. 
C. A., were exceptionally cordial and pleasant. 
Thanks are due to Dr. Serson and Dr. Ullman of 
the Church of England for conducting an inspiring 
service during the afternoon of the second Sunday in 
camp. 
Just a word about the island. If nature had tried to 
make an island and surroundings for the special use of 
the A. C. A. it would have taken Sugar Island as a 
model, and, by the way, don't agitate changing its 
name, after you have once been there, you will have a 
sweet remembrance suggestive of its name. 
Mr. Alfred Wentworth Scott, of the Camera Club, 
5 West Thirty-first Street, New York City, took several 
official photographs of camp, camplife, members and 
officers. Mr. C. Fred Wolters, of Rochester, your 
Commodore for 1904, is the right man in the right 
place; he has selected Sugar Island for the annual 
meet of 1904. I predict a large and joyful meet under 
his administration. 
Nathaniel S. Hyatt, Commodore.

nection with the impetus given to rifle competition in general by 
the recent international contests, doubtlessly contributed materially 
to the large attendance.

Capt. Richards' win was something of a surprise, as he was 
opposed by a number of renowned, seasoned veterans.
