[Dec. 2 , 1905 . 
which was once the scene of much activity during the 
palrny whaling days. As many as 150 whalers have been 
anchored off this port at one time. From Lahaina there 
will be a race to Hilo, on the island of Hawaii, which is 
the largest in the group, and the town second in size. 
This is the route to the famous volcano of Kilauea, and 
the visitors will be taken up to “the burning mcuntain,’ 
which is the largest active volcano in the world, but 
withal very harmless, although showing great masses of 
burning lava, explosions of gases in the fire pit, all of 
which can be safely viewed from the edge of the crater. 
The yachts will leave Hilo for home, as this is some 
150 miles nearer California than Honolulu. The yachts- 
men participating in the race will have one round of 
pleasure from the time they reach Honolulu until Hilo is 
.sailed from view. The voyage home should be made in 
ifrom fifteen to twenty days. It is slightly longer, as 
.‘sailing craft have to sail north until near the latitude of 
San Francisco, when they meet the westerly winds, which 
carry them to their destination. At this time of the year 
they will encounter only delightful weather, and the entire 
experience will long be pleasantly remembered.

Several protests were filed during the season. All were acted 
upon by the Regatta Committee, and decisions have been rendered 
and cups awarded in each instance. 
At the start of the run from New London to Newport, Humma 
and Shark came together. Shark’s owner protested, but the de- 
cision was, given to Humma. 
The owner of the schooner Agatha protested Venona at New 
I.cn'don, contending that Venona should rate at the top of the 56ft. 
class. The Regatta Committee upheld the protest filed by Agatha’s 
owner. 
Mira’s owner protested all the New York Y. C. one-design 30- 
footers on the ground that they were not in cruising trim, as 
defined by Rule IV. of the Racing Rules. 
Before the start of the annual cruise, the Regatta Committee 
had given permission tO' some of the owners of the special one- 
design 30ft. class, at their request, to race in the runs and for 
special cups on the cruise without carrying a boat, as the rules 
specified. No notices to this effect was given, however, to other 
owners of sloops that were racing, and all other competitors com- 
plied strictly with the rules. 
After receiving Mr. C. L. Poor’s protest at Newport, the Re- 
gatta Committee notified him that they deemed the boats of the 
one-design class to be in cruising trim, and did not require them 
to carry boats. 
Mr. Poor, claiming that the Regatta Committee had exceeded 
their authority in suspending or altering the racing rules of the 
club, appealed to the flag officers of the organization, with the 
result as announced in the above summary, a copy of the one 
officially issued by the Regatta Committee — i. e., that the New 
York ,Y. C. 30-footers sailed in a class by themselves, and that 
all the other sloops were pitted against one another when com- 
peting for the Commodore’s cup. 
No other construction could be put on the matter according 
to these facts, as two first prizes were awarded: one for the New 
York one-design class and another to the other sloop entries. 
As Mira received a first prize, she must have been sailing 
against the other sloop entries and not against the one-design 
boats, as a first prize was awarded to these latter craft and it is 
not possible to give two first prizes in one class. 
■ If Mira was not racing against the New York Y. C. one-design 
boats — and the way the prizes were awarded plainly shows she was 
not — it is evident that Mr. Poor has no ground Hr a protest 
against any boat in that class, and accordingly his position has 
been upheld ; yet the Regatta Committee has been able to let 
themselves down easily through the , kindness of the Commodore, 
who offered two cups instead of one, without actually reversing 
their decision. 
This affair has settled a most important question — i. e., the 
owner’s right of appeal to the club over a decision by the Regatta 
Committee in any case where there is involved a question of the 
interpretation of a racing rule or in anything other than a ques- 
tion of fact. 
Houseboats and Houseboating* 
Editor Forest md Stream: 
I have just received my copy of “Houseboats and 
Houseboating,” and have had a feast, for like a child 
I have turned first to the pictures, and I can already 
(in cool November) see myself afloat next summer 
in my houseboat No. 3, into which will be worked many 
of the ideas and devices portrayed in the book you 
have just issued. 
Now to my story Or rather the resurrection of some 
other fellow’s .story. : 
In a biography of Robert Fulton, I recently blund- 
ered across the following account of a good American 
lioiLseboat of almost ope hundred years ago. Was the 
Nicholas.;, J:.- Roo.sevelt”|therein mentioned one of the 
progenitors of 'Our'wortnYlB^sident? They seem made 
of much the same stuff, 
“After demonstrating the feasibility of navigating 
tlie Hudson with -steamboats, Fulton and Livingston 
turned their attention to the Mississippi. There was 
some doubt about-the possibility of stemming the pow- 
erful current of the great river, and before investing 
heavily in the enterprise tli9se gentlemen determined 
to investigate the matter. Fsr this purpose they en- 
gaged Nicholas J. Roosevelt, with the understanding 
that, if his report was favorable, the three men — Liv- 
ingston, Fulton and Roosevelt — would be jointly in- 
terested. In 1809, Roosevelt (who had been recently 
married) went to Pittsburgh, accompanied by his wife, 
where he built a flat-boat on which they descended the 
river. With the exception of -about three weeks passed 
on shore at Louisville, and eight or ten days in a row- 
boat between Natchez and New Orleans, Mr. and Mrs. 
Roosevelt lived for six months on this flat-boat. 
On this voyage the lady wrote as follows: 
“ ‘The journey in the flat-boat commenced at Pitts- 
burgh, where Mr. Roosevelt had it built. There was 
a huge box containing a comfortable bed-room, din- 
ing-room, pantry, and a room in front for the crew, 
with a fire-place where the cooking was done. The 
top of the boat was flat, with seats and an awning. We 
had on board a pilot, three hands, and a man cook. 
The rowboat was a large one, in which Mr. Roosevelt 
went out constantly witb two or three of the men to 
ascertain the rapidity of the ripples or current. It was 
in this rowboat we went from Natchez to New Orleans 
with the same crew. We reached New Orleans about 
the first of December, 1809.’ 
“Once while in the flat-boat on the Mississippi we 
were aroused in the night by seeing two Indians in 
our sleeping room, calling for whiskey. Mr. Roose- 
velt had to get up and give it to them before we could 
induce them to leave the boat.” The Deckhand.

The feature of the shoot held Nov. 24 on the Zettler ranges was 
the score of D. H. Brinkmann, who won a fine cut-glass punch 
bowl with a shot that measured 3J^ degrees on the bullseye target. 
'J he black is 4in. in diameter, one shot is allowed each member, 
and all targets are measured with a device which records the dis- 
tance from the center of the black to the center of the bullet hole 
m 64ths of an inch. ^ Very likely this is the record for 75ft.
