Capitol to Coast Race. 
The Albany Y. C. has issued conditions to 
govern the Capitol to coast race for motor 
boats, which will be started from Albany on 
July 5. 
The race is for cruising boats of not less 
than 25 feet over all, not exceeding in the 
greatest length 40 feet over all, and witl\ a 
waterline breadth of not less than one-fifth of 
the waterline length, having an explosive en¬ 
gine or engines operated either by gasolene, 
kerosene or alcohol. The crew, which shall not 
be changed during the race, must consist of not 
less than four persons, two of whom may be 
paid hands. In the event of the owner not be¬ 
ing on board during the race he must be repre¬ 
sented by a member of a recognized club. No 
paid navigators or pilots will be allowed, and 
each owner or his representative will be re¬ 
quired to deliver to the committee, before the 
start of the race, a list giving the name and 
vocations of all the members of his crew. 
Boats may carry an optional amount of fuel, 
all of which must be in a fixed tank or tanks, 
permanently piped and connected. Each boat 
must carry on deck or tow a tender or life raft 
satisfactory to the regatta committee, must 
carry anchor and ropes, side and other lights 
required by Federal regulations, a life-preserver 
for each member of crew, compass, charts, lead 
line, buckets and at least two fire extinguishers. 
The course has been figures as 118 nautical 
miles ( 135.7 statute miles) and will be from the 
Albany Y. C. to the Colonial Y. C., at New 
York city. Racers may enter any port and 
anchor if necessary through stress of weather, 
but must enter, and leave under their own 
power. Any racer accepting a tow will be dis¬ 
qualified. Any boat using kerosene will be 
allowed two gallons of gasolene in cans, for use 
in starting the engine, and shall be allowed five 
gallons of gasolene in a sealed can, for use in 
an emergency, but seal and can must be intact 
at finish or boat will ba disqualified. Energine. 
picric acid, ether or any other ingredient to in¬ 
crease the power of the fuel, will not be 
allowed; and no gasolene lighter than com¬ 
mercial 76 degrees Beaume stove gasolene will 
be allowed. The committee has arranged to 
have a full supply of gasolene, lubricating oil, 
etc., at Albany, before the start of the race. 
Racers may renew their fuel and supplies, but 
all fuel must be put into tank or tanks before 
leaving the supply station. 
All boats must be measured and rated before 
starting. No unrated boat will be allowed to 
start, and entries must be made in writing be¬ 
fore noon. June 20, 1909. A full description of 
the boat should be sent with the entry. Appli¬ 
cation for entry blanks and information should 
be made to the regatta committee, Albany Y. 
C., Albany, N. Y., or the regatta committee, 
Colonial Y. C.. One Hundred and Thirty-eighth 
street. North River, New York city. 
Canoeing. 
Atlantic Division Cruise. 
With the hope of arousing greater interest 
in canoeing, and enabling the members of the 
clubs along the lower Delaware River to be¬ 
come better acquainted, arrangements have 
been made for a cruise from Trenton to Phila¬ 
delphia. Those wishing to do so can start from 
various points oh Uie upper river, from Deposit 
down to Easton, joining a small party that will 
start about noon on May 27, from Easton, and, 
after camping at convenient locations, reaching 
Park Island on Saturday afternoon. May 29, 
where all canoeists who can arrange to do so, 
will meet. Park Island is reached from Trenton 
by trolley to Asylum Station, five minutes’ walk 
to the river. _ and private ferry. The Park 
Island Canoeing Association have placed their 
club house facilities at our disposal. Supper 
and breakfast will be served at 50 cents each. 
Sleeping places will be provided, but all cruisers 
are expected to provide their own blankets. 
In the evening a reunion will be held in the 
club house. 
Sunday morning, May 30.—Promptly at nine 
o’clock we will start down the river, reaching 
the Yapewi Aquatic Club at Bordentown about 
noon. Arrangements have been made for lunch 
here, after which we will paddle leisurely along, 
reaching the Lakanoo Boat Club at Burlington 
early. Accommodations will be provided here 
for the night. Supper and breakfast will be 
served at 50 cents each. Cruisers desiring to 
do so can camp for the night on Burlington 
Island, or directly across the river from the 
club house. During the evening the club will 
entertain with a smoker and music. 
Monday morning. May 31.—At nine o’clock 
we continue down the river, stopping for lunch 
at Delanco (cruisers will provide their own 
lunch), and, after visiting the Beverly Y. C., 
reaching the Red Dragon C. C. at Wissinoming 
early. In the evening a dinner will be served 
for 75 cents, and the cruise end. The Red 
Dragon C. C. will arrange an entertainment for 
the evening and accommodations will be pro¬ 
vided for canoeists remaining over night. 
The committee hope to see a large fleet on 
this- cruise, and will do everything possible to 
make it enjoyable. Places will be provided in 
the canoes of Delaware River men for canoeists 
coming from a distance, if they will notify the 
committee of their intention to join the party. 
Delaware River canoeists who can accommo¬ 
date a visitor are requested to so advise the 
committee as soon as possible.
