LONG DISTANCE RACING. 
WITHIN the last five years long distance rqcing 
for sailing yachts has again come into favor. 
There have always been-races for large yachts, 
but they have not, as a rule, been a yearly feature 
of the fixture lists. With a revival of racing 
over long courses in which a yacht must carry the 
gear necessary for cruising, interest has not been 
confined to large vessels, but has included boats 
whose waterline length was even less than 2oft. 
Theoretically long distance racing is the best 
there is, and while the majority of boat owners 
have the inclination to participate, their business 
engagements are usually of such a nature as to 
prevent their sailing in long distance events that 
under fair conditions of weather require a week 
or more. 
The sentiment as expressed by the number of 
contestants in two races for small boats that have 
taken place this year shows very clearly the 
desire to race, but shows also the greater popu- 
larity of the short time as against the long time 
race. The longer race showed but two con- 
testants to finish, while the short race showed 
twenty-two. As we go to press a third long 
race is being sailed, and the listed entries include 
many famous yachts from the largest schooners 
down, the course being less than a hundred miles 
and the entries numbering twenty-six, os 
Thus deep sea racing in the United States can 
never be generally popular, until the ‘conditions 
of life and -business here are radically changed. 
Long distance racing then must. be adapted to the 
time at the disposal of the contestants rather than _ 
the contestants to a particular course of excessive ~ 
length. By following this principle, we shall 
foster the growing interest in this most healthy : 
kind of racing, with the result that it will develop © 
our amateurs and our boats, and will guarantee 
the greatest number of contestants. 
Motor Boat Club of America in Com- 
mission June 30. 
THE alterations being made to the large house- 
boat, which is to be used as the temporary 
quarters of the Motor Boat Club of America are 
progressing rapidly and nearing completion. Ar- 
rangements are being made by the club to go 
into commission on Saturday, June 30, at 3 P. 
M., the fleet to rendezvous at Fearon’s shipyards, 
Glenwood, Yonkers, N. Y. After declaring the 
club in commission, the houseboat will proceed to 
her mooring at 112th street and Hudson River 
accompanied by the fleet. The weather of the 
past week has greatly retarded the completion of 
the work. The first races of the season will be 
held on Saturday afternoon, July 7, and will be 
open for all types of boats. On Aug. 4 the start 
will be made for the cruise to Newport, Rhode 
Island, arriving in time to take part in the New- 
port Carnival and especially the motor boat races 
which are to be held on Aug. 9, and in connection 
with which the following members have been ap- 
pointed a committee to act in conjunction with the 
Newport committee: Messrs. Charles P. Tower, 
Chairman; E. A. Stevens, Jr.. M. M. Whitaker, 
Walter J. Hewlett and Hugh S. Gambel. It is 
also intended to make the week of Sept. to the 
gala week of the season, and during which. time 
the National Motor Boat Carnival will take place. 
The Sonderklasse Race Dates. 
Tue Eastern Y. C. has received the official 
dates on which the races for the Roosevelt cup 
will be held at Marblehead. The races will be 
five in number, the prize going to the boat first 
winning three races. There will be other cups 
awarded to competing boats, according to their 
standing. The trial races are scheduled for Aug. 
13-18, and the German and American contestants 
will meet on Sept. 3 to 7. 
WE reproduce the. photos of two of the new 
Sonderklasse boats that are now tuning up at 
Marblehead. The fifteen other boats: are being 
completed for the races that will be provided 
during the summer. The dimensions of Sumatra 
we published with the drawings in the May 5 issue, 
but those of Skiddoo, a Herreshoff production, 
have not as yet been made public. Both photos 
are by Jackson, Marblehead. 
RRR 
AMERICAN (NEwsuryporT) Y. C.’s NEw PRIZE. 
—Mr. H. W. Eaton has presented the American 
Y. C., of Newburyport, a silver punch bowl, to 
be awarded to the champion one-design dory by a 
point system in a series of ten races. The club 
has a fleet of sixteen boats that are about 18ft. 
long over all.
