treasurer reported a balance of $98.80; assets of

emphasized the need of a new clubhouse in 
Hartford, saying it is the most urgent problem 
now before the club. A building and a site for 
it are being considered. The club has 1S7 mem¬ 
bers. The secretary called attention to the fact 
that April 23 would be the fifteenth anniversary

Hingham Y. C. 
At the annual meeting of the Hingham Y. 
C., held last week, it was decided to amend the

creased to 150 instead of 125 as at present. It

summer, and the delegate to the Yacht Racing

Kennebec Y. C. 
At the annual meeting of the Kennebec Y. C., 
Edward W. Larrabee was unanimously re-elected 
commodore. There was a contest for the vice¬ 
commodore's berth between Charles W. Clif¬ 
ford, Jr., who has held the office for the past 
year, and George E. Thompson, resulting in 
the election of Mr. Clifford. Other officers 
elected were as follows: Secretary, Arthur K. 
Purington; Treasurer, Fred B. Haggett; Meas¬ 
urer, Ernest F. Kelley; Directors—William B. 
Haggett, Clarence W. Morse and Frank P. 
Lord. 
The effect of Federal legislation upon the 
motor boat sport, especially through the passage 
of the Humphrey bill already presented before 
Congress, was criticized at considerable length. 
Motor boat men fear that the passage of this 
bill in its present form would prove ruinous to 
the sport. It is expected, however, that it will 
go before the committee of merchant marine 
and fisheries, of which Congressman Swasey, of 
the second Maine district, is a member, and 
the K. Y. C. will petition him to look out for 
the interest of the motor boat owners. 
Dorchester Y. C. 
At the annual meeting of the Dorchester Y. 
C. held last week these officers and committees 
were elected for the season of 1910: Walter S. 
Chase, Commodore; Arthur R. Bowman, Vice- 
Commodore; John N. Chute, Rear-Commodore; 
William S. Mace, Secretary; Oliver F. Daven¬ 
port, Treasurer; John H. Burroughs, Measurer; 
Walter S. Chase, Arthur R. Bowman, W. S. 
Mace, O. F. Davenport, Hjalmar Lundberg and 
Chas L. Carr, Board of Directors; R. E. 
Beckert, H. E. Milliken, E. D. Price, H. San¬ 
ford and M. S. Chase, Regatta Committee; 
Andrew Johnson, Frank Bowman and H. W. 
Grant, House Committee; Eli DeRusha, G. L. 
Perry, W. S. Mace, Hjalmar .Lundberg and 
Andrew Yonge, Membership Committee. 
On account of the storm of last December, 
which seriously damaged the property of the 
club, extensive repairs will be necessary this 
spring. In addition to this the club proposes 
to make quite a few alterations- in the present 
club house, and if the present plans are carried 
through, as seems very probable from the en¬ 
thusiasm shown by the members last night, 
the new house will be one of the most attractive 
in this section.
