The Lipton Honor Shield. 
At the annual dinner of the Yacht Racing 
Association of Massachusetts last week the 
honor shield presented to the association by 
Sir Thomas Lipton was formally presented to 
the association by Bryan S. Permar and ac¬ 
cepted by Judge Louis M. Clark. This shield 
is to be a perpetual record of racing in the as¬ 
sociation classes. It is a massive piece of 
bronze, and on small silver shields bears the 
records for past years and on similar shields 
records of years to come will be added. 
Sir Thomas Lipton was elected an honorary 
member of the association. This shield will be 
valuable as a record of each year’s racing, and 
in order that it may be complete the winners 
each season since the association first regulated 
yacht racing, in 1896, have been engraved on 
the trophy. These records are as follows:

British Yachting. 
The British Yacht Racing Association at its 
annual meeting last month adopted a rule re¬ 
quiring all racing yachts to carry distinguishing 
numbers on their sails. The new rule says that 
the number, shall be carried in the peak of the 
sail. On this side the rule says it shall be above 
the reef points midway between the leech and 
the luff, and that is the onlv place where it can 
be properly distinguished. " The British, how¬ 
ever. have gone a little further than we have 
on this side and- adopted a size for the number 
for each class. The rule says:

The numbers, which shall commence with 
in each class, shall be allotted by the secretar; 
of the \ acht Racing Association upon applica 
tion, and shall remain in force to the close o 
the season, unless previously cancelled by him 
It might be well if those in charge of th- 
races .on this side would make a similar scale fo 
the numbers. Sometimes an owner will daul 
his sail with some hyroglyphics that don't lool 
anything like a number when the yacht is som< 
distance away and these are not only hard tc 
distinguish but are unsightly, too. 
At a meeting of the executive council of the 
International Yacht Racing Festival, which i: 
to take place on the Solent Aug. 7 and 8. Petei 
Donaldson presided. It was decided that tin 
races should start off Spithead and finish of
