234 
York built boat owned by Mr. Tyler Morse, got 
two firsts, one through the disqualification of a 
winner on a technical breach of the rules. Allon 
is, however, of fine model, and a satisfactory type 
for all work. Of the other victories Topsy, Carita, 
Comet, Twentieth Century, Shadow and Blanche 
got one each. Six-Shooter, the Oldsmobile boat, 
owned by Mr. Georee D. Chapin, had hard luck 
during the races, and at no time showed her best 
form. Possum, a craft designed by Lieut. H. L. 
Willoughby, is deserving of mention. Although 
taking no firsts she showed herself to be along the 
right lines for speed purposes. This boat was 
launched only on the day of the first race, and 
consequently was not in the best of trim for fast 
work. 
Beside the mile trials for the Dewar shield, 
there was decided a class event, which was run 
because the handicaps of the first attempt were 
based on a course longer than that finally laid 
out. Shadow, scratch boat, won easily from Mera 
and Allon, both the latter two breaking down dur- 
ing the contest. Mera managed to finish, but 
Alion did not. 
A consolation race for boats that had won no 
prizes went to Mr. C. S. Coggins’ Blanche, the 
owner and captain of which is eighty years of 
age. Mercedes, U. S. A., captured the closing 
tace of the meet. 
To one who has never seen a Southern boat 
meet, this year’s event demonstrates the fact that 
in the shallow tropical waters power driven craft 
are making great strides of progress. Yacht 
clubs, which a few years ago depended for pleas- 
use on sailing vessels built to suit the shallow 
conditions are now devoting almost their entire 
attention to motor boats. The result of such a 
course cannot be otherwise than to soon give to 
the Southerners a decided advantage over their 
Northern brothers in the matter of power crea- 
tion. The Lake Worth meet of 1907 is already 
being planned and is expected to eclipse all others 
in point of entries and quality of sport. It will 
probably last only three days, as the four days of 
this year were considered by many a trifle long. 
The Halifax River Y. C., located at Daytona, 
Fla., is anxious to offer a cup for a long distance 
race from Palm Beach to their club station, a dis- 
tance of nearly 200 miles. The route lies wholly 
inland and the Halifax Club would gladly furnish 
local pilots to contestants not acquainted with the 
waters. The proposed journey would take the 
boats through the Lake Worth canal to Jupiter 
Narrows and through Hobe Sound by Gilbert’s 
Bar into the Indian River. From there the route 
leads through Haulover Canal to Mosquito La- 
goon and thence northward up the Halifax River 
to Daytona. There is also talk of next year ar- 
ranging a championship contest in which the best 
boats of the South will be ready to meet those 
of the North. The names of the competing boats,

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 

HINGHAM Y. C. TaLtx.—On Wednesday even- 
ing, Jan. 31, Mr. James B. Connolly told the 
members of the Hingham Y. C. of his trip on the 
Fleur de Lis in the trans-Atlantic race of last 
summer, and told also many interesting experi- 
ences of the Gloucester and T Wharf fishing 
fleets. One bit of information was that the re- 
doubtable Captain Bohlin never reefs a mainsail, 
believing that if a schooner cannot carry her 
whole mainsail she had best be under her trysail. 
Mr. Connolly explained that the only reason for 
taking the mainsail off the Fleur de Lis, the one 
time it was lowered during the race, was because 
some of the crew became so nervous at the 
height of the following seas that they would luff 
out for them, throwing the mainboom into the 
water, sometimes 4oft of it, thus threatening the 
loss not only of the boom but of the mainmast as 
well. The many instances of the endurance and 
fortitude of the fishermen and the almost super- 
human instinct of position possessed by the best 
skippers were of striking interest. Mr. Connolly 
scored an easy win with the members of the club 
and all look forward with renewed anticipation of 
pleasure for the next instalment of his tales of 
the sea.

ANOTHER CHALLENGE FROM Sir THOMAS.—We 
are enabled to state that Sir Thomas Lipton is 
once more taking seriously consideration of the 
question of issuing another challenge for the 
America’s Cup. Matters as yet are quite in the 
preliminary stage, but that Shammrock IV. will 
be seen in American waters in 1907 may be taken 
for granted.—Yachting World.

Red Dragon C. C. 
THE Red Dragon Canoe Club held its annual 
mess at the Hotel Hanover, Philadelphia, Pa., 
Saturday evening, Jan. 20. Thirty-four members 
and guests assembled around the U-shaped table - 
in the Turkish room. The decorations were of 
the club colois, totems, flags and paddles around 
-the room, and the flowers and miniature canoes 
on the inner edge of the table made a beautiful 
appearance, The souvenir menu card was an 
original design by the club’s talented member, 
Theodore Quasebart, and was a highly artistic 
piece of work. 
Among the guests were H. Lansing Quick, of 
Yonkers, N. Y., Commodore of the A. C. A. Mr. 
Quick was permitted to make a few remarks on 
the coming meet at Sugar Island. James K. 
Hand and “Woolsey Carmalt, of New York, made 
brief speeches. The mess was the most success- 
ful one ever given by the club, and great credit 
is due to the committee—A. L. Belfield, chair- 
man; A. S. Fenimore, J. E. Murray, F. W. Noyes
