Reginald A. Morse has been appointed chair¬ 
man of the regatta committee of the Barrington 
Y. C. He announces the schedule of the club 
races this season: First regatta on Saturday, 
June 8, and then a regatta every other Saturday 
for the remainder of the racing season, with 
special races in between, if possible. 
Ogdensburg, N. Y., has a new yacht club. It 
is called Oswegatchie. The officers are: Com¬ 
modore. C. D. Hoard; \’ice-Commodore, H. A. 
Lord; Secretary, C. R. Flos; Treasurer, Ralph 
Tallman; Trustees—Capt. D. FI. Lyon, J. C. 
Howard, E. L. Strong. Felix Hulser, I. P. 
Wiser, A. R. Porte. Andrew Irving and Charles 
H. Simmons. The first regatta will be held on 
jLily 4- 
Alexander Mdnton's motor yacht. La Belle, 
the former flagship of the Lakewood Y. C., 
Cleveland, O., is in drydock No. 3 of the Amer¬ 
ican Shipbuilding Company for the finishing 
touches of the spring fit out. La Belle, the 
largest gasolene yacht ever built, was designed 
by Cox & Stevens, and built in the yards of 
John A. Dialogue & Son, Camden, N. J., last 
spring. Commander Winton is expecting to 
take several long trips on La Belle, in company 
with his family. 
Oscar Peterson and Louis Johnson, chairman 
of the sail and motor regatta committees of the 
L, Y. C., went to Vermilion last week to make 
arrangements for the Labor Day events. They 
were accompanied by Otto Nehrenst, Fleet 
Captain, of the L. Y. C., and after submitting 
their plans to several of the leading merchants 
and to Commodore Wakefield, left confident 
that the Vermilion people will witness the best 
program ever held under the auspices of the 
L. Y. C. on a Labor Day. Besides the sailing 
events, it is planned to have motor races and 
to hold water sports, including aquaplane riding, 
the latest marine sport. 
The new yacht club at Bayside has taken the 
title of Little Neck Bay Y. C. This lusty 
marine infant has decided not to give up the 
bottle, so a policy common to infants will be 
carried out—it will be “wet.” There will of 
course be a rocking chair fleet to keep the infant 
happy while a most able staff of nurses has been 
selected to keep the new baby healthy and to 
help her grow up. They are: Commodore, 
William Parkinson; Vice-Commodore, James F. 
McKenna; Rear-Commodore, Otto Mueller; 
Secretary, Cyril E. Arrindell; Treasurer, Oscar' 
Engel, and Fleet Captain, D. R. Henderson. 
Decoration Day will slide Whitestone Y. C. 
into the water for the season. The tar-tars are 
prepared for a gala year. 
Eastern waters are to lose one of their most 
ardent yachtsmen when George P. Cranberry 
leaves next week for Chicago. .The Chicago Y. 
C., with their mammoth carnival looming 
majestically before them, have engaged Mr. 
Cranberry to manage their regattas during the 
corning season. This is work Mr. Cranberry is 
eminently fitted for, ds he has successfully 
handled the handicap class, of which he was 
president, on Long Island Sound. 
For the seventh successive season Theodore 
Cranberry, of New Rochelle, has been ap¬ 
pointed official handicapper of yacht handicap 
class. 
Speejacks, the new flagship of the L. Y. C., 
has returned to Rocky River from Port Clinton, 
where she has been overhauled and fitted out. 
Commodore A. Y. Gowen will give the local 
public a chance to see his flyer in some fast 
heats in the coming motor races of the L. Y. C.

recently. These are the auxiliary yawl Sivad, 
72 feet over all, owned by F. T. Rogers; Myoso- 
tis IL, 35 feet over all, owned by Nelson McIn¬

Greenwich, R. I., a special power tender has 
been complered for W. S. Milne, of Cleveland, 
Tenn., and is to be carried on the davits of his 
yacht Ocoee. This boat is fitted with a Fay & 
Bowen engine and should make an excellent 
type of power tender with unusual carrying 
capacity. 
New York A. C. Yachtsmen. 
The New York A. C. yachting division, or¬ 
ganized a good many years ago by members of 
the club, with R. W. (Shorty) Rathborne as 
Commodore, recently rejuvenated, has elected 
officers and adopted a constitution and by-laws, 
is now a full-fledged yacht club, and entitled to 
representation on the Long Island Regatta 
Committee. The officers are recognized by the 
Board of Governors of the New York A. C. 
as their duly authorized representatives, and 
are on a par with the ranking officers of other 
yacht clubs along the Sound. 
1 his separate organization on its present basis 
IS a distinct advance in the growth of yachting 
in the New York A. C. 
W. McCullough, well-known designer and 
builder, at present engaged in the construction 
of a 70-foot launch, as well as several 35-and 45- 
foot m9tor boats, has been engaged. He has 
just finished for a New York A. C. member a 
$4,000 five-room houseboat.

the club as senior flag officer for several terms

emblem of the club in colors. In presenting 
the token, Capt. Riordan referred to the splen¬ 
did manner in which the club had been repre¬ 
sented by Commodore Watson and to the un¬ 
selfish spirit displayed by him in all sports and 
pastimes of the club. Commodore Watson made 
an appropriate response. An interesting
