New Rochelle Y. C. Elections. 
The annual meeting of the New Rochelle Y. 
C. was held at the Hotel Manhattan last Satur¬ 
day night. B. R. Stoddard, who has for some 
time been one of the most energetic members 
of the club, and particularly interested in the 
handicap class was elected commodore to suc¬ 
ceed Commodore Frank Maier, who declined 
a renomination, because of pressure of busi¬ 
ness. The club had a very successful season 
last year and the outlook for the coming year 
is particularly good, as several yachts not in 
commission last year will be out and several 
new boats will be enrolled in the fleet. The 
election of officers resulted as follows: Com¬ 
modore, B. R. Stoddard; Vice-Commodore, M. 
W. Houck: Rear-Commodore, F. W. Isenbarth: 
Treasurer, C. E. Salter; Secretary, Robert L.

Hart and J. A. Mahlstedt; Regatta Committee 
—G. P. Cranberry, M. S. Kattenhorn, L. D. 
Fluntington; Measurer, R. M. Fladdock. 
After the btisiness of the meeting had been 
finished, the members dined together.
