Regatta Committee of Brooklyn Y. C. 
Yachtsmen’s Club Race. 
The conditions to govern the long distance 
race of the Yachtsmen’s Club, of Philadelphia, 
have been published. This race is to start on 
July 8 from Atlantic City, and the Ventnor Y. 
C. will have charge of .the starting. That club 
will hold a smoker the evening before the race 
to which the visiting yachtsmen will be invited. 
The race will start on the morning of July 8 
and should be finished inside of 36 hours. The 
course will take the boats up the Jersey coast 
to Scotland Light, a pleasing run for daytime; 
then on to Fire Island. After Scotland Light 
is dropped astern the Fire Island Light shows 
the way plainly. After turning Fire Island 
Light the course is S. W. % W. to Atlantic City. 
On this course the j^achtsman will have a fine 
chance to use his knowledge of chart work, and 
the information he may secure from the Light¬ 
house Book for the different lights to be picked 
up on the run to Atlantic City. 
The race is open to three classes of boats— 
power yachts over 45 feet over all; power 
yachts 45 feet and under; auxiliary yachts of 
any rig. Entry blanks can be secured at the 
Yachtsmen’s Club or from any of the commit¬ 
tee, which is composed of Richard L. Young, 
Chairman; Dr. C. S. Street, Secretary; M. E. 
Brigham, W. IT. Biddle and A. H. Edson. The 
judges are: Frank Vanderherchen, Frank R. 
Scull, C. Claud Scull. Ventnor City Y. C. En¬ 
tertainment Committee—Victor Fisher, Thomas 
Youngman and Edwin H. Stubb, Jr. 
The boats will be started off the Million-Dol- 
lar Pier, at Atlantic City, N. J. The auxiliaries 
will start at 8:30 A. m.; the power yachts will be 
sent off as follows: First class power yachts 
start at 12 o’clock; second class power yachts 
start at 11 o’clock. 
All yachts must cross the line between the 
pier and the stakeboat. 
There will be at least two prizes for each 
class, provided three or more start. 
Any owner wishing to enter his boat must 
do so before noon on July 1, to the chairman of 
the Regatta Committee, R. L. Young, No. 104 
South Juniper street, Philadelphia, on the regu¬ 
lar form. No entrance fee will be charged. 
The measuring will be done under the direc¬ 
tion of the South Jersey Y. C. Racing Associ¬ 
ation. Boats not measured must report at the 
Ventnor City Y. C. not later than the morning 
of Friday, July 7, 1911. The rating certificate 
of boats from any recognized yacht club will be 
accepted when signed by the club measurer. 
The total area of the working sails, plus 120 
square feet for every unit of horsepower, as 
measured under the 1911 American Power Boat 
Association rules. 
The auxiliaries will be permitted to carry light 
sails, consisting of balloon jibs and spinnaker, 
which will not be added to the above formula. 
No boat with less than 70 square feet of sail 
area per unit of engine horsepower will be 
accepted as an auxiliary. The time allowance 
for auxiliaries will be taken from the allowance 
table of the American Power Boat Association 
as published in their 1911 book, and the distance 
be figured as 196 nautical miles. 
For power yachts rating will be calculated 
under the 1911 rules of the American Power 
Boat Association, with full time allowance, and 
the distance be figured as 196 nautical miles. 
Canoeing. 
Pittsburg Canoe Clubs. 
A movement has been started by the six big 
canoe clubs about Venona, on the Allegheny 
River above Pittsburg, to build a long continu¬ 
ous retaining wall embracing all the club 
grounds and intervening private property. This 
would not only add much convenience and great 
beauty to the water front, but permanently do 
away with the annual damage and encroachment 
of the swollen rivers upon the properties in 
question. 
Not satisfied with the honors of the first long 
cruise of 1911, two Algonquin Club members 
are now on the second long trip of the season. 
They are Walter (“Let’s Beat It”) Rinehart and 
C. W. Reamer, who left the headwaters at Sala¬ 
manca, N. Y., on April 20, paddling down to 
Red Bank, Pa. From there they trained to 
Ridgway and will travel down the Clarion and 
Allegheny rivers to their club house. They ex¬ 
pect to consume three weeks for the trip. The 
Algonquin Club has scheduled receptions for 
May 13, 20 and Memorial Day. There is no 
“opening,” strictly speaking, as the club has 
been open socially all winter. 
The latest factor among the river clubs is the 
Oakmont Canoe Club, organized on March 10. 
and has already enrolled 210 members. It has 
headquarters in the Oakmont Motor Boat Com¬ 
pany’s building and will take an active part in 
all the regattas this season. The officers are - 
Commodore, Edwin Wall; First Vive-Commo- 
dore, Edwin Owen; Second Vice-Commodore, 
Claire Kline; Treasurer, T. F. Campbell; Sec¬ 
retary, C. M.. Hunziker; House Committee— 
William Peet, R. Kline, H. C. Focer and James 
Muir.
