I here is every indication now of the yachting 
world seeing some lively times. According to 
Stanley Seaman, a broker, business is improving 
and yachtsmen are making inquiries about yachts 
for the coming season. It is usually dull until 
February, and then those yachtsmen who have 
postponed ordering new craft find that they can¬ 
not have a yacht built in time for the season, 
and they, begin to look about for one to suit 
their wants. The inquiries just now are for 
cruising craft, sailing and power, and the power 
boats are mostly in demand. There is a demand, 
too, for auxiliaries of all sizes, and during the 
winter several large boats of this type have 
changed hands. 
1 he Larchmont Y. C., through Horace E. 
Boucher, chairman of its regatta committee, is 
trying to arrange a race around Long Island for 
the three-masted schooners Atlantic and Karina. 
Mr. Boucher last week received a cable from 
Commodore Leonard Richards offering a $1,000 
cup for the race. The cable said: 
“Offer a $1,000 cup for a race around Long 
Island between Atlantic and Karina. Finish off 
the Larchmont Y. C. Richards.” 
A match between the two schooners recently 
was suggested, but no club has as yet taken any 
steps toward bringing the big fellows together. 
The contest undoubtedly would be one of the 
most interesting fixtures of the yachting season 
and would do much to help along the sport. The 
two schooners are of a similar type, and al¬ 
though Karina is the larger, any advantage in 
sail spread that she might have would be offset 
by the lighter displacement of the Atlantic. Both 
boats are owned by keen racing yachtsmen who 
have often met in important contests. Atlantic 
was the winner of the transatlantic race for the 
German Emperor’s cup, and in that famous strug¬ 
gle Robert E. Todd, then commodore of the 
Atlantic Y. C., sailed his schooner Thistle. 
Speaking of the contest, Chairman Boucher 
said: “ The offer of a cup by Commodore Rich¬ 
ards for a race between Karina and Atlantic 
came as a decided surprise. I knew that the 
contest had been suggested, but had not thought 
seriously of including the struggle on the rac¬ 
ing fixtures of the Larchmont Y. C. Now that 
Commodore Richards has offered so valuable a 
cup, I intend to see both Commodore Marshall 
and Commodore Todd, and find out if it is pos¬ 
sible to arrange the match. The contest un¬ 
doubtedly would be the most important event of 
what promises to be an exceptionally interesting 
season. 
‘Of course it is too early to decide upon the 
conditions, but if the owners are satisfied I 
would suggest that the race start off Sandy Hook 
and. end off the Larchmont Y. C. The course is 
an ideal one for big schooners. It is the right 
length to give them a fine test and one that could 
be^covered in a reasonable length of time. 
As Commodore Todd formerly was the senior 
flag officer of the Atlantic Y. C., and as Com¬ 
modore Marshall once held the same office in 
the Larchmont Y. C., I think it would be a good 
idea to ask the Atlantic Y. C. to co-operate with 
the Larchmont Y. C. in the management of the 
start of the race. These points, however, would 
have to be decided after the yachtsmen have 
signified their willingness to race.” 
At the annual meeting of the Boston Y. C

bhiyessa;. Vice-Commodore, A. W. Chesterton
