Newfoundland Yachting Notes. 
Here is an extract from a recent Herald, 
showing that a celebrated Welsh yacht has been 
seized by the Customs authorities for poaching, 
and may be noted by American yachtsmen when 
they reach these waters: 
The Deputy Minister of Customs, Mr. Le- 
Messurier, had a message this morning from 
Inspector O’Reilly, aboard the Fiona at Conn 
River, reporting that the steam yacht Y Draigh 
Goch (The Red Dragon), owned by Godfred 
Williams, of St. Donat's Castle, Llantwith, Glam- 
morganshire, Wales, had arrived at Hare Bay, 
near Rencontre from Halifax on July 8 and 
then proceeded to Bay Despoir; had failed to 
report to any Custom House in the Colony and 
had been violating the fishery laws by using 
triplet nets for the taking of cod, sea trout, etc., 
in the Bay, and that he had seized the nets and 
detained the yacht for these offenses. The Deputy 
Minister issued instructions at once for the prose¬ 
cution of Capt. Dargill, for these offenses, and the 
matter will doubtless be dealt with by the nearest 
magistrate. The yacht is 1.900 tons gross, 1,600 
net, was launched in January last and has 
been cruising in the West Indies until recently. 
Dr. Bowring, nephew of the Hon. E. R. Bowring, 
and brother of Mr. Eric Bowring, of this city, 
is the surgeon of the ship. 
Western Division, A. C. A. 
The end of the season of 1913 is rapidly 
approaching, and there remains only the Labor 
Day cruise in which the members of the Western 
Division of the A. C. A. and their friends can 
come together for one more taste of life in the 
open, which is so dear to the hearts of all. 
The committee has arranged a short, easy 
cruise from Morris, Ill., down the Illinois River 
to Starved Rock that will be full of the keenest 
pleasure from start to finish. Program follows: 
Leave Morris, Saturday, Aug. 30 1 p. m. ; 
arrive at Camp Gardner, 5 p. M.— eight miles. 
Leave Camp Gardner, Sunday, Aug. 31, 8 
a. m.; arrive Camp Wulsen, 5 p. m.— eighteen 
miles. 
Leave Camp Wulsen, Monday, Sept. 1, 8 
a. m. ; arrive Starved Rock, 11 a. m.— ten miles. 
The short distances, brief hours and good 
current will make the cruise more of a frolic 
than a grind or an endurance race. Canoes and 
outfits sent to Morris, Ill., by freight or U. S. 
Express prepaid, in case of Henry C. Morse, 
will be transferred to the river early Saturday 
morning in time for a prompt start. All sup¬ 
plies can be obtained at Morris. Your commit¬ 
tee will arrange for shipping canoes and duffle 
home on Tuesday. 
During the cruise the regatta committee will 
have three races as follows: First—Western 
Division club championship, paddling; third heat, 
two men (members of the same club), single 
blades, quarter-mile straightaway. Second— 
Hurry scurry, run 100 feet, swim 50 feet, paddle 
100 feet. Third—Swimming race, 200 feet, free- 
for-all. Henry C. Morse,

and Race Meet of the Atlantic Division of the 
A. C. A., which will be held on its grounds from

of the kind in the country, occupies the historic 
Morris mansion on the banks of the Delaware
