angular 3-mile course—one mile to the leg—five

view from the club house. No handicap or time 
allowance. 
Prizes—The Atlantic trophy, constituting the 
motor boat championship of Gravesend Bay, 
and open to the above classes, will be awarded 
for the best performance during the season, to 
compete for which a boat must run in each of 
the three races of the series. In addition prizes 
will be given for all races as follows: _A first 
prize when two or more boats start with full 
intention of completing the course, a second 
prize when four or more start and a third prize 
when seven or more start in any class. 
Entries—Entry blanks may be obtained from 
the Regatta Committee or by application at the 
club house. All entries shall be made in writing 
and shall be signed by the owner or his repre¬ 
sentative, and should be filed with the regatta 
committee not later than forty-eight hours be¬ 
fore the time of starting. The regatta commit¬ 
tee may refuse or accept, at its discretion, any 
entry received after the time of closing. The 
regatta committee reserves the right to reject 
any entry. 
Contestants should report at the regatta com¬ 
mittee room at the Atlantic Y. C. club house 
not later than one hour in advance of time of

tion will govern. 
Narragansett Bay Racing Rules. 
The “Racing Rules” of the Narragansett Bay 
Y. R. A., as the new annual volume is called, 
are being distributed. 
One of the important new features is a change 
of Sections 4, 5 and 6 of rule XVI, tending_ to 
simplify the taking of appeals from a decision 
of a regatta committee to the executive com¬ 
mittee of the association, making impossible a 
repetition of the mixup over the Hugi and 
Anore which took place several seasons ago. 
Under the new arrangement the decision of a 
regatta committee on a protest, as far as the 
facts go, will be final. The only question which 
can be taken before the executive committee is 
the question of an interpretation of the rules. 
No new evidence can be presented to the com¬ 
mittee. 
To make this possible. Section 4 requires, (i) 
that the decision of the regatta committee shall 
state the facts as determined by that committee; 
(2) the rules the committee deems applicable; 
(3) the committee’s disposition _ of the protest. 
The last two paragraphs of Section 4 read: “If 
either party is dissatisfied with the regatta com¬ 
mittee’s determination of the facts, he may 
within five days ask the regatta committee for a 
rehearing, which they may grant or refuse in 
their discretion. But no appeal may be taken 
from the regatta committee’s determination of 
the facts. 
“The decision of the regatta committee shall 
be final unless an appeal is taken in accordance 
with these rules.” 
The new Section 5 reads: “The owner of any 
interested yacht may take an appeal to the ex¬ 
ecutive committee of the association from the 
decision of the regatta committee on any ques¬ 
tion of the application of the rules as contained 
in the decision, but not otherwise, by taking the 
following steps: First, written notice^ of inten¬ 
tion to take an appeal’from the decision of the 
regatta committee shall be given to the regatta 
committee within five days after the announce¬ 
ment of their decision. Second, the appeal_ shall 
be filed with the secretary of the association 
within ten days after the announcement of the 
decision appealed from, together with a deposit 
of $5, which sum shall be returned to the ap¬ 
pellant if the appeal is sustained; otherwise it 
shall go into the treasury of the association.” 
The book contains, as during the past two or 
three years, a foreword by W. Louis Frost, the 
editor. On page 51 there is a list of the boats 
which were entered with the association secre¬ 
tary last year, with their racing measurements 
and the racing numbers of those which had 
them. 
The last year was the first year during which 
Association Secretary W. L. F'rost took charge 
of the entries. The results were very satisfac¬ 
tory, as more entered for the season than has 
been the case at any time in the past. 'When a 
yachtsman enters his boat with the secretary it 
carries him through the whole season and makes 
it unnecessary for him to present a certificate to 
each regatta committee. 
This year the rule requiring a racing number 
and class letter is to be strictly enforced. Ap¬ 
plication for one must accompany an entry 
blank and measurement certificate. Measure¬ 
ments made last year will not be good this year. 
Drips from the Paddle. 
Fox River members of the Western Division 
of the American Canoe Association have 
planned a trip by canoe to La Salle, starting 
May 30. There will be two hundred or more in 
the party. Stops will be made at various points 
of interest along the way and camp will be 
pitched at night. It is planned to reach Ottawa 
on Saturday when the annual races are to take 
place. After the races the party will paddle to 
Starved Rock and camp there. Sunday will be 
devoted to sight-seeing at the new State park, 
after which the canoeists and their boats will 
return to their destinations by rail. Canoeists 
at various points along_ the river are arranging 
a reception to the tourists.
