Forest and Stream will give a weekly digest of Yachting and Motor Boating events from all over the country. 
President Wilson Cup. 
President Wilson has notified the inter¬ 
national committee having charge of the Ger- 
man-American sender yacht races next summer 
of his willingness to stand sponsor for the cup 
which will go to the winner. 
As in the six previous international sender 
yacht races, four with Germany and two with 
Spain, the principal cup is contributed by the 
yacht club managing the event and named for 
the Government head of the country. The East¬ 
ern Y. C. presents the trophies for the races 
this year. 
It is expected that the German entries for 
next summer’s meet, the third of the series 
begun in 1906, will include an unusually fast 
trio of these little boats, and that the Kaiserlicher 
Y. C. in preparation for the races at Marble¬ 
head will have trial races at Kiel early in June. 
There is some agitation in favor of increas¬ 
ing the cost of the German boats, which is now 
limited to $1,435. The German yachtsmen and 
designers claim that it is impossible to build a 
sufficiently able boat to meet the Americans for 
less than $1,650, and the German Emperor, who 
is the referee in the matter, has been asked to 
raise the limit. It is understood that this has 
been done, and that the German fleet will go 
in American waters in July. The first interna¬ 
tional race is scheduled for Aug. 26. 
The sender or special type of yacht origi¬ 
nated in Germany. It is a fin keel boat built 
of red cedar, whose length, breadth and depth 
is not over 32 feet. The sail area is restricted 
to 550 square feet, and the weight must exceed 
4,170 pounds. The cost in this country is limited 
to $2,400. Eight or ten yachts are under con¬ 
struction in American ship yards, and it is ex¬ 
pected that Providence, New York, Cleveland, 
Chicago and New Orleans, as well as Boston, 
will be represented in the American trial races 
to be held early in August. 
New York Y. C. 
The New York Y. C. announces the date of 
its annual regatta as June 26, off Glen Cove. 
Races for the Glen Cove cups will be held on 
July 5 and for the autumn cups on Sept. 4 off 
Glen Cove. 
The annual cruise will be held in August, 
the date to be announced later by the commo¬ 
dore. The regatta committee .for 1913 consists 
of H. de B. Parsons, Chairman, and J. M. Mac- 
donough and C. Sherman Hoyt. 
Y. R. A. of Long Island Sound.

^Championship races. 
There is a demand for. racing crews in the 
new Q and Gravesend Bird classes now building, 
and also for some of the older yachts whose 
owners, building in the new classes, would be 
willing to place in commission if crews were 
available. The purpose in constructing the new 
yachts was primarily to stimulate racing by af¬ 
fording greater opportunities to club members 
to learn the game and become actively interested. 
With the additional yachts in the various clubs 
on the bay this summer, the opportunity is 
greater than heretofore, and the purpose of the 
builders of the new yachts will be accomplished 
only when those yachts, together with those they 
replace, are all in commission and racing. The 
regatta committee is at the service of all, in> 
any way that may accomplish this object, and 
owners desiring racing crews as well as mem¬ 
bers desiring to serve are invited to communi¬ 
cate with the chairman.

Hunting Record Broken. 
Just by way of proving that Emperor 
William is fully entitled to his reputation as a 
mighty hunter, a sporting journal recently pub¬ 
lished statistics purporting to show that the 
total number of animals slain by His Imperial 
Majesty during his shooting career now 
amounts to 67.228. 
The list includes twenty-four varieties of 
game, beginning with .38,578 pheasants, 17.950 
hares and 3.442 wild boar, and continuing down 
the line. 2.068 stags. 867 partridges, three- 
turkeys and one whale.
