Chicago Gets International Event. 
A FEW weeks ago conditions had assumed 
such sad proportions that an International race 
this year seemed most unlikely. The Rochester 
Club, Rochester, N. Y., holders of the Canadian 
cup refused to put up or engage in a contest 
to defend it unless allowed to have the defender 
built in any place it desired. The Royal Can¬ 
adian Y. C., annual challenger, maintains that 
boats for the event should be built upon the 
Great Lakes. This question has prevented the 
sailing of this, the most important of fresh-water 
events, for the past two years. 
On Dec. 9, Commodore S. O. Richardson, 
Toledo Y, C., offered a handsome cup for the 
event, thereby eliminating the Rochester Y. C. 
from the controversy, as the Richardson cup 
will take the place of the cup won and held by 
Rochester. Those hustlers from Lake Michi¬ 
gan, known as Chicago Y. C.. of which A. 
Sheldon Clark is secretary, as well as instigator, 
got busy immediately and within a week raised 
$10,000, by subscription, to build a defender. 
Not satisfied with this, G. H. Atkins and Ogden 
McClurg went over to Toronto, and despite 
strong opposition, made arrangements to have 
the race sailed in Chicago Harbor. 
The date of the International race is next 
August, with the first race on the loth. The 
boat winning three out of five races is to re¬ 
ceive the cup. The races are to be sailed over a 
15-mile triangular course and the winner of the 
cup will be allowed to hold it for one year. 
Toronto was represented at the conference 
by William Gray, J. S. McMurray, secretary of 
the Yacht Racing Union. Owner Norman of 
the Patrica, and Commodore Jarvis. 
Manhasset ice Boating. 
The Manhasset Bay Y. C. held an ice boat 
regatta on Jan 21, two classes filling, those of 350 
square feet and those of 200 square feet. 
The large class furnished the most exciting 
and spectacular event ever held on this bay. 
There were six entries. The boats went around a 
S-mile triangle twice. The wind blew out of 
the west at a 20-mile rate. Soon after the start 
Whiz, Ice Baby and Manhasset drew away from 
the rest of the fleet, and at the first turn round¬ 
ed in the above order. 
The next leg just at the start Manhasset 
caught the two leaders and passed them. The 
three boats were then traveling at least 50 miles 
an hour, and so all three rushed around the 
home stake with Manhasset in the lead. 
Straightening out for the second round, Man¬ 
hasset increased her lead and rushed across the 
■finish line with a 25-second lead. J. W. Alker 
was at the helm of Alanhasset.

Yacht Fleet to be Larger. 
Four new Class B yachts will be ready for 
the spring races, according to the plans of the 
builders of the Oregon Y. C. T. J. Menden¬ 
hall is having a 28-foot cabin cruiser built by 
Gus Amonson. The plans for the craft indicate 
it will be one of the best sailers and best 
equipped boats on the river. It will be nine 
feet beam and seat about 20 outside the cabin. 
Frank Creasy is building a 28-foot boat, which 
will be something on the style of Mendenhall's, 
with the exception of the cabin. Amonson drew 
the plans for the boat, but it will be built by 
Portland naval constructors. C. Hastorf and 
J. Prideau are building the other two craft of 
that class. Max Meyer planned Hastorf Lark. 
Besides these vessels of the larger division, 
there will be a great number of smaller boats 
of all sizes from the dinghy upward. A new 
type made its appearance on the river when two 
catamarans, which are being planned, will be 
turned out for the opening events on Decoration 
Day. One of these will be 32 feet over all and 
carry 700 square feet of sail. 
Eastern Y. C. Cruise. 
The first announcement of a cruising date 
comes from Eastern Y. C. The squadron will 
rendezvous at Newport June 29. The course as 
tentatively laid out will be a race across the 
shoals to the club’s home station at Marblehead, 
where a regatta will be held, thence to Bar 
Harbor. The squadron will disband July ii. 
Any of the New York vessels will be at liberty 
to make their way westward in time to prepare 
for the I.archmont Y. C.'s “race week” and the 
cruise of the New York Y. C. squadron in 
August. 
Making Newport the place of rendezvous for 
its cruise is an innovation on the part of the 
Eastern Y. C. In days gone by the squadron 
made the run to New York, but that has not 
been the case for several years. The rendezvous 
for its cruise has been Marblehead for a long 
time, but with an important ocean race on its 
annual schedules a change has been deemed 
necessary.
