The American Association of Engine and Boat 
Manufacturers will hold their second annual boat 
show at the Seventh Regiment Armory, Chicago, 
Ill., from March 2 to 9. 
This is an organization composed of entirely 
western firms. It is regrettable that this asso¬ 
ciation should have chosen a. name so nearly re¬ 
sembling the parent organization which is the 
National Association of Boat and Engine Manu¬ 
facturers and which will hold its show at Madi¬ 
son Square Garden as usual. The western in¬ 
terests in the trade clamor for representation, 
which is laudable, but’certainly it is not within 
good reason or to the interest of motor boat¬ 
ing, that the manufacturers should bring their 
differences to the public view, for it does not 
conduce to the interests the prospective user and 
buyer of this most popular product, the motor 
boat.

New York C. C. 
About twenty-five members of the New York 
C. C. met at the club house on invitation of the 
regatta committee, Saturday evening, Jan. 12, to 
talk over the canoeing plans for the coming sea¬ 
son. 
This meeting was arranged to take advantage 
of the unusual interest shown at this time of 
the year over the racing outlook, and to learn 
the views and wishes of those interested. . All 
of those present including Commodore Speidel, 
President Bennett, and Messrs. Poole, Yelland, 
Moore, Douglass, Goodsell, McKeag, Hawthorne, 
Sawyer, Sweet, McCaughey, Allerton, Coley, 
Philip and Erskine, spoke in favor of starting 
the season’s racing very early, and to have 
plenty of races, probably every Saturday. A 
number favored making special efforts to get 
men out for paddling and to bring up that branch 
of the sport to the standard set by the sailing 
men. This club will turn out a large fleet for 
the meet of the American Canoe Association in 
August. The regatta committee, consisting of 
Messrs. McKeag, Poole and Coley, for the canoe¬ 
ists, have undertaken to get outfits for new men,

The annual dinner of the Brooklyn C. C. was 
held at Mouquin’s, in Fulton Street, New York,

being present. Commodore Reitzenstein pre¬ 
sided, and in well chosen words introduced the 
speakers. After the dinner was over Judge 
Wilkin gpve an interesting account of the races 
he had entered in the past season, and for which 
he was awarded the prize for the man making 
the most entries, and told of the pleasure he had 
derived from the exercise. Commodore Doug¬ 
lass, of the American Canoe Association, who 
was a guest, as well as Secretary Furman, spoke 
principally of his early acquaintances with the 
club, which dated back twenty years, and of 
some of the achievements of some of its mem¬ 
bers. Ex-Commodore Stanlev told what the club 
had accomplished during the past year and gave 
a little account of some of his trips under paddle, 
which Covered over six hundred miles, and for 
which he received the mileage prize. Messrs. 
Hogan, Williams, Dater and ohers also spoke.
