EDITH IT. AND VITA RACING OFF BAYONNE. 
k- To J Celebrate Com. Perry’s Victory. 
A yachting regatta, surpassing anything ever 
held in this country was the promise made by 
Commodore George H. Worthington, of the 
Cleveland Y. C., to the members of the Inter¬ 
lake Yachting Association assembled at the 
banquet held last week. This is part of the plan 
of the Perry’s Victory Centennial Association, 
of which Commodore Worthington is the pre¬ 
siding officer, being chairman of the Interstate 
Board in charge of the centennial. The cele¬ 
bration will open at Put-in-Bay July 1, 1913, 
and continue until Oct. 5. 
A bill is now before Congress to appropriate 
$250,000 and the ten States represented on the 
Board which include besides those bordering 
the Great Lakes, Rhode Island and Kentucky, 
will put up in each instance from $50,000 to 
$100,000 to conduct the celebration. Commo¬ 
dore Worthington expressed the opinion that 
between $10,000 and $20,000 would be devoted to 
a yachting regatta which will make a prize list 
much larger that was ever spent in the United 
States for this purpose. He declared himself 
in favor of separate regattas for both power 
boats and sailing craft, devoting a week to each. 
The business meeting of the Interlake was 
held recently, according to the Plain Dealer, 
with delegates from thirteen clubs present, as 
follows: C. D. Buskpitt, Buffalo Y. C. and 
Motor Boat Club of Buffalo; W. C. Willard, 
Cleveland Power Boat Club; George H. Worth¬ 
ington; Cleveland Y. C.; George F. Mooney. 
Buckeye Lake Y. C.; C. G. Jennings, Detroit 
Country Club; William Bewick, Detroit Boat 
Club yachtsmen; Charles P. Sieder, Detroit Y. 
C.; R. M. Starr, Maumee River Y. C.; H. A. 
Card, Lakewood Y. C.; James Kilbourne, San¬ 
dusky Y. C.; S. O. Richardson, Toledo Y. C.; 
William Hass, Put-in-Bay Y. C. 
Put-in-Bay will have the annual regatta. It 
offered $800 bonus to the association and use 
of the Colonial Pavilion for the annual ball. 
The date decided upon was the week of July 
16, this being the time when the full moon is 
most apparent. 
A change in the cabin house restrictions for 
Class R was suggested by Commodore Jennings 
who moved an amendment to the existing rule 
to make the I. L. Y. A. restrictions conform 
with those on Lake Ontario, viz., area of cabin 
house 25 square feet, height 6 l / 2 feet. This was 
supported by the delegates. A motion later, 
however, to prohibit pot leading on Class R 
boats emanating from the same source was 
unanimously voted down. The Maumee River 
Y. C., of Toledo, endeavored to secure the 
adoption of restrictions for the 14-foot class, 
but their motion was referred to the rules com¬ 
mittee for report. It is expected that the com¬ 
mittee will act favorably and that the class will 
be added to the Interlake this season. 
The question of securing greater interest in 
power boat racing was discussed at considerable 
length. Commodore Richardson, of Toledo, 
suggested the possibility of an organization 
similar to the Y. R. U., which would have the 
power to formulate rules and adopt classes for 
cruising boats of a type suitable for use on 
the Great Lakes. These rules could be agreed 
upon by representatives of the clubs on Lake 
Michigan, Erie and Ontario and would tend to 
unify the interests and promote the sport. Vice- 
Commodore Willard, of the Cleveland Power 
Boat Club, recommended the adoption of rules 
for speed boat racing to correspond with those 
in effect in the Mississippi valley, where there 
are no handicaps and no restrictions on horse 
power, but the boats are classified simply on 
over all length. It is apparent from the discus¬ 
sion that the Interlake is intensely interested in 
promoting the powerboat sport and nothing 
will be left undone by Commodore Winton or 
his officers to bring about satisfactory con¬ 
ditions.
