In the trap department will be found designs 
of moderate priced club houses. Should you 
be interested in knowing more of these designs, 
drop a line to Mr, Beecroft, our gun editor, 
and he will send you full particulars. 
At the last meeting of the New York Y. C. 
twenty-five new members were elected. 
Howard Gould left Miami, Fla., last week 
for a cruise on Majara. He will visit Bahamas, 
Cuba, Porto Rico, Colon and Panama. In¬ 
cluded in his party are Mr. and Mrs. Martin 
Littleton and Dr. and Mrs. Frank Northrop. 
The English auxiliary yacht Xarifa, in charge 
of Capt. Morse Hawkins, of East Setauket, 
left Port Washington, L. I., last week for a 
cruise to the Mediterranean and thence to 
China. Xarifa will sail direct from here to 
Gibraltar, where she will be joined by her 
owner, C. N. Nelson, of New York. She will 
be gone about eighteen months. 
The Quebec Y. C., whose club house was 
destroyed by fire several years ago, have plans 
for a handsome new house, to be built this 
spring in the neighborhood of Custom House 
Pond. The club is in excellent financial condi¬ 
tion, helped considerably by the advent of the 
motor boat, which is responsible for many new 
members. There are forty-three boats in the 
fleet, of which twenty-one are power-pushed. 
It is safe to say that every man of any promi¬ 
nence, and who loves the salt sea; is a mem¬ 
ber of the Quebec Y. C. The officers are: 
Honorary Commodore, Hon. Wm. Price; Com¬ 
modore, Dr. S. Gaudreau; Vice-Commodore, 
E. J. Cockburn; Captain, J. Smith; Secretary- 
Treasurer, Laurier Auger; Managing Commit¬ 
tee, the officers, Lorenzo Auger, Dr. A. Lavoie, 
Dr. E. G. Gale, C. Eremont; Sailing Commit¬ 
tee, T. S. Hetherington, W. A. Home, J. S. 
Thom, Delphis Merder, H. B. Polnoka; Club 
Room Committee, J. B. Matte, E. E. Turgeon, 
N. Menier; Auditors, A. Lemieux, A. E. Scott. 
Sorry to observe that Sir Thomas Lipton 
has fallen off the water wagon, though it must 
be true, as a foreign correspondent reports that 
Sir Thomas has purchased a hydro-aeroplane 
at Monte Carlo. Possibly, Sir Thomas feels he 
will get more _ satisfaction from the Aeroplane 
Club of America than from the New York Y. 
C., and besides Herreshoff has not yet taken 
to designing air displacement yachts. Still 
more important is the fact that the Hank Haffs 
and Charley Barrs of the air are mostly in 
Europe. _ Perhaps Sir Thomas will yet win 
an America’s cup. 
Frederick S. Nock, East Greenwich, R. I., is 
building from plans by Swasey, Raymond & 
Page a 40-foot raised-deck cruiser for Frank L. 
Cross, of Quincy, Mass. 
Guy Lowell, of the Eastern Y. C., has chal¬ 
lenged for the Quincy cup, now held by the 
Quincy (Mass.) Y. C. Mr. Lowell is having 
built at Lawley’s, from plans by Bowes & 
Mower, the new Sonder class challenger. Thus 
far four challenges have been received for the 
cup. 
Commodore J. Stewart Blackton has named 
as regatta committee of the Atlantic Y. C. 
Carlos de Zafra. chairman; A. Nickerson and 
J. L. Luckenback. Mr. De Zafra was a mem¬ 
ber of racing board last year. 
The Kingston, Ont., Y. C. numbers 270 motor 
boats in its fleet, several of them very fast. 
Many new boats are under construction, all of 
which augurs well for the coming season. The 
club officers are: Commodore, W. C. Kent; 
Vice-Commodore, H. Hora; Rear-Commodore, 
John McKay; Secretary-Treasurer. Charles S. 
iV irkpatrick. 
I he annual nieeting of the Chesapeake Bay 
Yacht Racing Association will be held April 
13. when the date will be set for this season's 
cruise. 
Delaware River Y. R. A. 
At a meeting of the Delaware River Y. R. A., 
held March 28 at Wilmington, the regatta com¬ 
mittee reported plans for the big Chesapeake Bay 
cruise, to be held from May 22 to May 28 in¬ 
clusive. Boats will start from Philadelphia on 
May 22, and the first day will make Chester.

where they will visit the naval academy and 
take a trip up the Severn. 
They will leave Annapolis May 25, arrive at

for Baltimore, which they will reach May 27.

on the 28th, with the run back to Philadelphia. 
The annual Delaware River cruise will be 
held June 21 and 22, with a run to Overfalls 
Light and return. The cruise is open to all

and is also open to cruisers. The Keystone Y.
