New Orleans. April 30. —Editor Forest and 
Stream: The regatta season opens in New Or¬ 
leans the second Saturday in May, and it is 
probable that at least thirty craft will enter tlie 
various contests. Commodore Alfred Landry’s 
sloop Chfewink III. was taken on her first spin 
of the season on Lake Pontchartrain, near West 
End. to-day. This fast sloop has recently been 
completely overhauled, and is now in the pink 
of condition. Her centerboard has been put in 
excellent condition, all of her rigging renewed 
and every sheet stretched and sails bleached. 
Another flyer that has been put in handsome 
dress for the season is the erstwhile champion 
racing machine, Wahkita, now owned by J. R. 
Hollingsworth et al. She has been stiffened 
considerably and is resplendent in a dress of 
immaculate white with mahogany trimmings. 
Her spars have all been given the necessary at¬ 
tention, as also her sails and rigging and she 
will come out thoroughly well prepared for the 
season. If she sails the part she looks, Sea- 
wanhaka, the champion, will have some running 
to do to beat her as she did last season. 
The fastest sloop. Class A cabin sloop 28.5 
rating and over, is Cadillac, owned by Captain 
Lawrence Heaslip. It will be a battle royal be¬ 
tween Cadillac and Chewink HI. when the races 
are run near West End. 
The open sloop class presents a queer admix¬ 
ture, under the new classification. Racing ma¬ 
chines will sail against motor craft in both 
classes of this division, and this very fact will 
probably produce a very slim fleet, since no 
true model craft has yet been built which could 
beat one of these racing machines of equal 
sailing rating. The model boat owners, if they 
go in at all, will be true sportsmen, since, prac¬ 
tically (unless there are four starters or more) 
they will go in purely for the sport of it, not 
with any idea that they will stand a chance of 
defeating the machines. Under the new classi¬ 
fications it is provided that if four boats or 
more enter in Class B—open sloops over 18 
feet rating—there shall be a second prize of 
$15, the first prize being $50. But in Class O, 
open sloops under 18 feet rating, provision is 
made for but one prize. As there can be but 
one or two model sloops (if any at all) under 
18 feet, however, this matters little. In this 
second class, as far as is known at this time, 
there are but four craft eligible, all racing 
machines—Oiseau, Flirt Skidoo and Mutt. 
Schemer and Eros having been converted into 
open sloops, from the catboat class, must be 
reckoned with in this class, also. If Schemer 
sails as well as as a sloop as she did a cat, there 
will be something doing in this class.

Regulations for Motor Boats. 
The New York Motor Boat Club has issued 
the following circular letter in the matter of a 
bill in Congress regarding the inspection of 
motor boats: 
“The New York Motor Boat Club has started 
an active crusade, protesting against the pro¬ 
posed bill (embodied in document 701), entitled 
’Better security of life at sea,’ as introduced at 
the second session. Sixtieth Congress. 
“In order to assure success, we must have 
the immediate co-operation of every member. 
To say that this bill if passed would have an 
immediate detrimental effect on the sport of 
motor boating is putting it mildly, in fact, it 
would ultimately mean the killing of this sport. 
“To illustrate a few of the requirements this 
bill would necessitate we cite the following: 
“First—The annual inspection of the hulls 
and machinery of all vessels over thirty-five 
feet in length and any vessel carrying passen¬ 
gers for hire. 
“Second—The provision and approval of 
efficient ■ steering apparatus, fire extinguishing 
equipment, life preservers, watertight bulk¬ 
heads, pumps, night lights, wireless apparatus, 
etc. 
“Third—The licensing of captains and en¬ 
gineers of all inspected vessels. 
’‘Fourth—The provision of one' or more ap¬ 
proved lifeboats on all inspected vessels. 
“Fifth—The registration of all vessels, the 
designation of the number of passengers 
allowed to be carried and the keeping of a true 
record of the number of passengers each trip. 
“Sixth—Tlie requirement of approved life 
preservers on vessels of all descriptions (row 
boats, dinghies and canoes included). 
“Seventh—The bill provides for a fine rang¬ 
ing from $10 to $2,*000 for failure to comply 
with the above and other requirements. 
“The club passed a resolution recommending 
that we as a club and each individual member 
communicate with his Representative at Wash¬ 
ington. D. C., and bring to bear any other 
possible influence that would lead to the de¬ 
feat of this bill.

Canoeing. 
Eastern Division Meet. 
The annual meet of the Eastern Division will 
be held at Moswansicutt Lake, at Scituate, R. 
L, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 29, 
30 and 31. 
The camp will be located on a low bluff on 
the shore of the lake, which is a little over a 
mile long and about a half mile wide. 
Mess.—Arrangements have been made with a 
caterer to serve meals at a reasonable rate for 
all who do not care to mess themselves. As 
the village of North Scituate can be reached 
by a walk of fifteen minutes or a paddle across 
the lake, no attempt will be made to run a camp 
store. Eggs and poultry can be obtained at a 
nearby farm. Members intending to attend the 
general mess will confer a favor by notifying 
the chairman of the Camp Site Committee a 
week in advance, if possible, in order that he 
may know to some extent the number to be 
provided for, and thus preclude the possibility 
of short rations. 
Tents.—Tents maj^ be engaged by clubs or 
members at moderate rates by applying to the 
Campe Site Committee ten days before the 
meet, or as much' sooner as may be. 
Transportation.—Canoes and duffle should be 
shipped by freight or express, prepaid to Provi¬ 
dence, care of Chas. L. Weaver, Chairman of 
Transportation Committee, and marked “A. C. 
A. Camp ” The charge for carting to camp will 
be about $1.25 each way for a canoe and a rea¬ 
sonable amount of duffle. 
Moswansicutt Lake is on the Providence and 
Danielson trolley line, about ten miles from 
Providence. Cars leave Market Square hourly 
from 5:40 A. M to 6:40 p. M., then 9:40 and 11:15 
p, M. Leave the cars at Hopkins avenue, which 
is the nearest point to the camp. Fare, 15 cents. 
The Regatta Committee have arranged the 
following programme of paddling events: 
Saturday, May 29, at 4 o'clock p. m.— Special 
class of canvas-covered cruising canoes limited 
to a maximum length of 18 feet and a minimum

lantic Division, as a trophy to be given to the 
club winning the single blade club for race.
