178 FOREST AND STREAM Aug. io, 1912 
Boston Y. C. 
Southern Y. C. 
New Orleans, La., July 12. —Editor Forest 
and Stream: Forest and Stream for many 
years has been regarded as the authority of 
sports both aquatic and afield, and has been 
accepted as most reliable in its articles and 
chronicles. However, in its issue of June 8, 
1912, appears a paragraph under the caption, 
“New Orleans Regatta,” which contains a 
series of statements relative to the sixty-third 
annual regatta of the Southern Y. C. at vari¬ 
ance with the truth. 
The facts are: The interest in this regatta 
was greater than has existed in many years. 
More yachts (both sail and motor) than had 
been known since the days of the “Sand-Bag¬ 
ger” participated in the races. The public to 
the extent of 3,000 enthusiastic visitors wit¬ 
nessed the regatta from the club house, while 
fully 500 people occupied positions of vantage 
on wharves and revetment. 
The great interest taken in this regatta of 
the second oldest yacht club in America was 
primarily due to the advent of two new racing 
open sloops brought here this spring to at¬ 
tempt the defeat of the champion Seawanhaka. 
One of the boats, Stranger, having been de¬ 
signed and built for that purpose, and the other 
Senorita, a last year’s craft of reputation. 
Without elaborating upon the conditions 
under which the success of the regatta was 
achieved, it is pertinent to state that the mem¬ 
bership of the Southern Y. C. has steadily 
grown during the past few months, and now 
numbers nearly 550. 
In justice to the Southern Y. C. and to 
yourself we ask that a correction be made in 
your paper. Holmes Harrison, 
Chairman Regatta Committee.
