Annisquam Y. C. 
Gloucester, Mass.—July 26. —The Annis¬ 
quam Y. C. race was sailed this afternoon in 
a brisk southwest wind. Nisan held the lead on 
the run to the mark off Essex River, but on 
the run to the outer buoy Tabasco overtook her 
and both boats rounded the mark together, 
Tabasco to windward. On the brush home to 
windward in a stiff southwester, Tabasco proved 
too much for Nisan. 
In the Annisquam class of “cats,” the ten 
boats came in to the starting line well bunched. 
Meow II., sailed by Miss Priscilla Smith, was 
in the lead; Catspaw, Gertrude Wiggin, was sec¬ 
ond ; Copy Cat, H. L. Friend, third. 
The run to Plum Cove was close and ex¬ 
citing, all ten boats rounding the leeward mark 
inside of a minute. Meow holding her lead 
came around the buoy first, followed by Catspaw 
and Copy Cat. 
The boats on the two-mile beat home had 
a lively scrap and Meow finished first. 
Rockland Light Race. 
A. J. Bendix's Annart, with a handicap of 
ih. 24m. 27s., won the motor boat race to Rock¬ 
land Light and return, held under the auspices 
of the Colonial Y. C., with eleven starters. The 
corrected time gave Annart first place over L. 
Foss’s Python by 15m. The time prize was won 
by Idle Time, owned by M. B. Behrman, al¬ 
most 10m. slower than the record for the course, 
held by Snap Shot III. Abby May, winner of 
the 1912 race, was not timed. She failed to pass 
the committee boat and was disqualified. 
Duxbury Y. C. 
Duxbury, Mass., July 26.—The Duxbury 
Y. C. races to-day were sailed in perfect 
weather with a strong wholesail breeze from 
south by west. In the 18-foot class, Osprey won 
first place easily, being 2m. ahead of Answer. 
W HEN the last days of Summer’s warmth shorten into 
those of the huntsmen, take your Evinrude and hang 
it over the stern of any boat you see. The motor will 
push it over the waves with a gentle purr that’s like a song 
of the wilds when the leaves commence to fall. There is no 
sport like this; this going wherever you wish, this throwing 
away of oars and paddles. The 
develops two full horse power, drives a rowboat eight miles 
an hour, weighs only 50 lbs. and you can carry it wherever 
you wish. You’ll miss a real something if you don’t get an 
Evinrude for your boat or for that rented boat. Call on 
your Sporting Goods or Hardware Dealer to see the 
motor or write us for large illustrated catalog-

The 15-footers made a very pretty finish 
on a spinnaker run from the Standish mark. 
Elizabeth finished first, but with Kit, Petrel and 
Thistle close behind. The catboat race was ex¬ 
citing, Miss Potter making a brave try to break 
Miss Ellison’s steady run of wins and was only 
beaten by 35s. 
Quincy Y. C. 
Quincy, Mass., July 26.—A race for three 
classes was held this afternoon by the Quincy 
Y. C. in a wind fresh from the southwest. In 
Class C Gleamer and Hush again had it out, 
as they have had every race this year. Hush 
finished three minutes ahead, but lost 12s. on 
corrected time. This makes the fifth win for 
Gleamer. 
In Class F, Yarita had the race pretty much 
to herself, owing to an accident to Alpha. 
Amendments to Racing Regulation?. 
To the Members of the A. C. A.: 
When the present racing regulations were 
adopted some five years ago, provision was 
made for two classes of canoes in paddling, the 
racing class and the cruising class, in order to 
meet the needs of conditions at that time. 
With the growth of canoeing in the last 
two or three years there has been a constantly 
increasing need of a further division of classes, 
this time of men rather than of boats, and in 
order to provide for new conditions I am giving 
notice at the request of a large number of mem¬ 
bers that the following amendment to Rule X. 
Sec. 2 will be brought before the meeting of 
the Racing Board at Sugar Island for action. 
At the end of Section 2, add: 
Juniors.—In singles and tandems, juniors 
shall be those who have never won a similar 
race, and in fours until they have won two 
club four races. Juniors may compete in senior 
races without losing their junior standing unless 
winning. Anyone remaining a junior in one or 
more class and who shall paddle in a class which 
he is not qualified to enter shall forfeit his 
juniorship in all classes. 
Seniors.—Shall be those who have won simi¬ 
lar races in single and tandems, and who shall 
have won two races in club fours of the same 
class. 
The intention of this proposal is that a man 
loses his junior status only in such races as he 
wins. For instance, to start with, everyone will 
be a junior in one-man singles and remain so 
until he has won a race of that kind. He would 
then be a senior only in that class and would 
still be a junior in one-man doubles and tan¬ 
dems and fours. The same thing would apply 
to one-man double blades and both classes of 
tandems. He would still be eligible for all of 
these until he won any one of them, when he 
would be removed from the junior class only 
in that kind of race which he won. 
For the club fours a slight difference is sug¬ 
gested — that being to make a junior eligible for 
junior fours until he has won two races. The 
reason of the difference being because to gradu¬ 
ate four men out of the class with every race 
would eliminate them faster than the average 
club could supply new material, and also be¬ 
cause it is thought that the training necessary 
to develop a junior crew warrants more results 
than perhaps just one race. The object of the 
proposal of course is to encourage new men to 
take part in the races. 
I shall be glad to see this matter discussed 
in the columns of Forest and Stream or to re¬ 
ceive opinions direct from members interested.

Chairman Racing Board, A. C. A. 
Notice is hereby given that it is proposed 
to amend Sec. 7 of Rule IV. of the Racing 
Regulations by substituting “.24” for the .3 which 
is now the last numeral of the clause entitled 
“Rating.” The object of this is to give the 
“special class” the same “rating” as the present 
sail area limit for 16-foot canoes.
