Cleveland Men Active. 
Yachtsmen about Cleveland are getting ready 
foi the season as fast as the weather will per¬ 
mit. All the yards along the shore of Lake 
Erie are busy places just now, and while the 
weather was cold and wet much work was done 
on the craft that have wintered under cover of 
sheds. At Rocky Point where the Lakewood 
3 . C. boats are stored things are very lively 
and the outlook for the coming season is very 
good. 
3 he regatta committee of this club has out¬ 
lined its program for the season. The racing 
will start with the first of a series of club races 
on _ May 30. There will be five races in this 
series. A special long-distance race from Ver¬ 
milion to Put-in-Bay on July 16 will put the 
boats on edge for the race week at the bay. A 
long-distance race to Vermilion on Sept. 3 is 
scheduled and on Labor Day the fourth special 
race will be held off Vermilion. 
A special big time is being planned by Com¬ 
modore Wakefield and the Vermilion people for 
the entertainment of the yachtsmen at that 
time. 
The boats in the 18-foot class will be raced 
under the universal rating rule, and will make 
racing in this class more interesting than ever. 
Holding an open regatta this summer is one 
of the big things now being considered by the 
club. 
I here seems to be a strong likelihood of the 
crack 18-footer Hayseed, owned by Walter C. 
Baker, going down East this summer for the 
purpose of lifting the La Belle trophy, put up 
by Finley for fresh and salt water champion 18- 
footers. Should Hayseed bring back the cup, 
it will mean that an eastern boat will come out 
here next summer to race for it. 
Two years ago Dorchen II., owned by Mr. 
Finley, came here from the East and by defeat¬ 
ing Bonitwo, the local champion, took back the 
Foster trophy with him. At that time he stated 
that he would put up another cup to be called 
the La Belle trophy, in honor of Commodore 
Winton, and this cup would be for competition 
between fresh and salt water 18-footer.s. Hay¬ 
seed, by winning the cup. would add more glory 
to her great record. 
Work on the syndicate class “R” boat was 
started last week at Zickes’ yards, where the 
boat is now being laid out. Harry Card, chair¬ 
man of syndicate committee, showed the mem¬ 
bers the plans of the new boat. They certainly 
look good, and, judging from these plans. th> 
boat will be a beauty. She has good lines and 
looks to have plenty of speed. 
Pandora Almost Lost. 
Thomas Fleming Day, editor of The Rudder, 
has received word from Captain George D. 
Blyth, of the yawl Pandora, a small vessel in 
which he is circumnavigating the world, that in 
a blow off the Horn in March the vessel was 
boarded by a heavy sea and her mainmast, bul¬ 
warks and boat were smashed and carried away. 
Pandora was picked up off New Island by the 
whaler Swona, Captain Wilson, and towed into 
port. Captain Wilson has very generously re¬ 
paired Pandora without any charges, and the 
little vessel is on her way to New York by way 
of St. Helena and the Azores. 
It is a curious coincidence that not an hour 
before Swona sighted Pandora, Captain Wilson 
was reading an account of her voyage, and at 
once recognized the little craft from the'pictures 
accompanying the story. Pandora is a copy 
of Captain Slocum’s Spray.

Southern Y. C. 
The Southern Y. C. held a smoker Thursday 
night at their headquarters in New Orleans and 
discussed various improvements to be made to 
the harbor, the.pen. the club house and various 
other business matters. Some amendments 
were adopted to the rules and by-laws. The 
affair was very pleasant and was participated 
in by thirty or forty members. The annual 
dues ot nonresident members not residing 
within twenty-five miles of New Orleans was 
reduced to $10. 
Elena to be Tried Next Week. 
The schooner Elena, built at Herreshoffs for 
former Commodore Morton F. Plant, will be 
tried next Wednesday. The work of rigging 
this big vessel has progressed favorably, and on 
Monday the topsides will be painted and the 
sall bent on. After her trial, the yacht will go 
to New London and be tuned up there. 
Motor Boating. 
Sparks. 
1 he dates for the big motor boat events of 
the year have been selected, and those yachts¬ 
men who prefer racing to cruising will be kept 
very busy. Nearly all the clubs which a few 
years ago were devoted to sailing craft have 
arranged regattas for motor boats, and the 
motor boat is now quite an important factor in 
summer sport. Many of these smaller regattas, 
however, are for boats owned in the club or for 
local craft, and these will be under special rules 
adopted to meet local conditions. 
The New York Motor Boat Club will open 
the season with races off its club house, 143th 
street and Hudson River, on May 28. On June 
10, the Columbia Y. C. will have a regatta for 
motor boats. On June 17, two of the long dis-
