SAILING YACHTS AT NEWBURGH. 
Fifty-seven yachts took part in the regatta 
for sailing yachts off Newburgh last Saturday, 
and of these forty-four were towed up from 
Long Island and Gravesend Bay. The com¬ 
mittee in charge of these races had chartered 
tugs to take those yachtsmen who wished to 
race up the river and bring them back again 
afterward, and as a result, there was quite a 
large fleet of small boats. It was too bad that 
the Hudson-Fulton commission selected New¬ 
burgh for its regatta, as there were many 
other places where the regatta could have been 
sailed to better advantage. The commission 
wanted a regatta, and after discussing the mat¬ 
ter, selected Newburgh. It was pointed out 
then that there would be no large yachts, but 
up-state influence would not allow the plans 
to be changed, and the sub-committee could 
only carry out the original programme as 
arranged and at considerable cost, too. The 
regatta should have been sailed at the mouth 
of the Hudson River, and the Gravesend Bay As¬ 
sociation should have been put in charge of the 
racing. Had the commission selected the mouth 
of the Hudson, there is no doubt that the re¬ 
gatta would have been the largest ever sailed 
in these waters. Owners of good sized yachts 
would have kept their vessels in commission to 
take part in such a regatta, , and there would 
have been probably 150 starters. The commit¬ 
tee in charge of the racing was Alfred Brooks 
Fry, Charles P. Tower, H. A. Jackson, Jr. and 
G. P. Granbery, representing New York, and 
N. D. Belknap, M. W. Collyer and W. A. Kidd, 
of Newburgh, and they did great work to get 
such a fleet of yachts together. 
Newburgh Bay does not lend itself well to 
courses for sailing yacht races, and the one 
selected gave the boats reaching work nearly 
the whole distance. The long course for 
classes P and Q, the handicap yachts, American 
Y. C. raceabouts, Larchmont 21-footers, Hud¬ 
son River classes D, E, G and H was twice 
around a triangule 6 miles long, or 12 miles 
in all. The smaller yachts sailed 6 miles. The 
wind was northwest and very puffy, and at 
times almost too strong for the smaller boats. 
The first leg was a reach with booms to star¬ 
board, the second was windward work and the 
third another reach. The warning signal was 
made at noon. 
Eleanor, Joy and Naiad started in the Q class. 
Eleanor captured the prize, beating Joy, winner 
of second prize by 7m. 3s. Wa Wa won the 
race for the first division of the river boats, 
and Tanya was second. In the second division’. 
Mohawk won and Wanata took second prize. 
Dutchess, owned by Commodore J. B. 
Palmer, of the Knickerbocker Y. C., won the 
first division of the handicap class, with Bob- 
tail second. The race in the second division 
was won by Juanita by 27s. from Bedouin. 
J he third division race was won by Jolly Roger 
with Busy Bee second. Robin Hood won in 
the fourth division with Victory second. 
Cricket, sailed by W. W. Swan, of Joyette 
fame, won the contest for the American Y. C. 
raceabouts with Jolly Tar second. Vaquero 
defeated Houri in the 21-foot Larchmont class In 
the dory race there were five starters and G. G. 
Fry, who wins almost all the races in this class, 
was successful again with his Tautog, and this 
trophy will stand alongside that he won in 
Holland last year. The summaries follow:

American Motor Boats Abroad. 
A late number of Consular and Trade Re¬ 
ports give lots of information about American- 
built motor boats in foreign countries, and 
these reports made by American Consuls show 
that they are growing in popularity abroad as 
they are at home. Extracts from these reports, 
which will be of interest to those engaged in 
the manufacture of these boats follow: 
Consul John F. Jewell, of Melbourne, furn¬ 
ishes the following information concerning 
motor boats in his district: 
“The use of motor boats, both for pleasure 
and business purposes, is increasing in this 
consular district, and much of their popularity 
is due to American enterprise in adequately 
representing the advantages accruing from their 
adoption. Most of the boats here are equipped 
with American engines (oil), which are greatly 
preferred on account of their recognized su¬ 
periority and cheapness in comparison with 
other makes. The hulls, being subject to a 20 
per cent, duty, are not imported, but are built 
by local boat builders according to the re¬ 
quirements of the users. The engines and all 
fittings are also subject to a duty of 20 per cent. 
The leading American engines are well repre¬ 
sented on the market here, the demand princi¬ 
pally being for those from 5 to 10 horsepower, 
though occasionally much larger ones are sold 
for use in the harbor and on the large Gipps- 
land lakes.” 
Consul Julean H. Arnold furnishes the fol¬ 
lowing information relative to the difficulties 
in the way of motor boating in Amoy and the 
efforts being made to overcome them: 
“While the harbor and waterways of this 
Chinese district are well adapted to the use of 
motor boats, but little has been accomplished 
toward their introduction. An experiment of 
considerable value to those interested in motor 
boating is being made here by an American 
physician, who has purchased a 3-horsepower 
gasolene engiue, which he intends placing in 
the native sampan, a boat greatly resembling 
an American dory. The sampan is peculiarly 
well adapted to this harbor, and if it can be ad¬ 
vantageously propelled by a gasolene engine a 
number of others will very likely equip them 
for motoring. The difficulty in Amoy is that 
there is a 14-foot fall in the tide, with a tidal 
current of about 4 miles an hour. Whether or 
not a 3-horsepower engine will be sufficiently 
powerful, to propel an 18-foot sampan, capable 
of . carrying six. passengers, against the tide in 
this harbor will be known as soon as the 
American completes the equipment of his boat. 
The preliminary steps were recently taken to¬ 
ward organizing a rowing and sailing club at 
this poft. About 40 persons are interested in 
the project, and. the outlook for its success 
seems good. This club may become interested 
in water motoring, and motor-boat publications 
should be sent to the Amoy Rowing Club, to 
stir up a motoring spirit among the members 
and their friends.” 
Vice-Consul-G.eneral Carl C. Hansen furn¬ 
ishes the following report covering the use of 
motor, boats at Bangkok, and the cause of the 
American boats failing to secure a foothold in 
Siam: 
‘Bangkok should make the ideal place for 
motor boats, being built on both sides of the 
river, and the numerous canals, leading from 
the river in every direction, afford passage¬ 
ways to all parts of the city for all kinds of 
craft. The motor boat trade has been thor¬ 
oughly exploited in Bangkok, and many manu-
