Brooklyn Y. C. International Challenge 
Cup. 
AT a meeting of the committee of the 
Brooklyn Y. C. having in charge the club’s In- 
ternational challenge cup, held at the office of 
Vice-Commodore David E. Austen, the follow- 
ing conditions governing all races for the 
trophy were agreed upon: 
This cup is offered as a perpetual challenge 
cup for competition between yachts enroiled in 
clubs of different countries, and not more than 
one yacht so representing any one country shall 
be allowed to compete in any one series of 
races. 
Any organized yacht club regularly incorpo- 
rated, of a country other than that of the club 
holding the cup, shall always have the right to 
challenge for a series of races for this cup, with 
a yacht propelled by sails only, and constructed 
in the country to which the challenging club 
belongs, and to sail in races against any one 
yacht enrolled in the club holding the cup and 
constructed in the country of such club. 
Yachts competing in races for this cup shall 
not be of greater length on the load waterline, 
if sloop or yawl, than 65ft. nor less than 35ft., 
and if schooner not of greater length than Soft. 
nor less than 4ofit. 
A yacht defending this cup in any series of 
races must be of the same rig as that of the 
yacht representing the challenging club, and its 
length on the load waterline shall not either ex- 
ceed or fall below that of the challenging yacht 
by more than 10 per cent. 
DATES OF RACES, 
No race shall be sailed earlier in any calendar 
year than July 15 nor later than Oct. 15. The 
first race of any series shall not be sailed until 
six months shall have elapsed after the accept- 
ance of a challenge. The chailenging club shall 
give in its challenge the name of the owner and 
the name and load waterline length of the chal- 
lenging yacht. 
Should there prove to be on measurement any 
variation greater than 2 per cent. in either 
direction from the given load waterl:ne length, 
such excess shall be added to the rating meas- 
urement. 
At any time within three months after the ac- 
ceptance of a challenge a club of any country 
qualified to issue a challenge other than that of 
the challenging and challenged club may enter 
a yacht for the series of races by conforming to 
the conditions stipulated for a challenge, pro- 
vided such yacht conforms with the restrictions 
as to rig and length stipulated for the defending 
yacht. 
Yachts competing in a series of races for this 
cup must proceed under sail on their own bot- 
tom from their own home ports to the waters 
of the club holding the cup. A yacht shall not 
have or use more than one centerboard, bilge 
board or other similar device. The ratio of 
ballast to displacement shall not exceed 45 per 
cent. except by mutual consent. 
Yachts shall be measured and rated for time 
allowance in accordance with rating and meas- 
urement rules and time allowance tables of the 
Brooklyn Y. C. at the time of challenge (said 
rules being, the same as adopted by the At- 
lantic Coast Conference of Yacht Clubs and 
Yacht Racing Associations). 
If the cup be at any time in the possession of 
a club of a country other than the United States 
and a challenge issued by any qualified club in 
the United States be accepted, the conditions 
above set forth as to measurement, rating and 
time allowance must be adhered to exactly; but 
if a challenge sent by a qualified club of any 
other country be accepted, such rating, measure- 
ments and time allowance rules as may be 


agreed upon by the challenging and challenged 
club may be adopted. 
NUMBER OF RACES, 
A series of races for the cu shall not be less 
than three, and shall include as many more as 
may be necessary until one yacht has won a ma- 
jority of the races, when such yacht shall be 
declared the winner of the series and of the 
cup. If more than three --achts are engaged in 
the competition, any yacht that has not won a 
race shall be debarred after three races have 
been sailed. The races of odd numbers in the 
sequence shall be sailed over windward and 
leeward courses and those of even numbers over 
courses of equilateral triangles. 
The club challenging for the cup and the club 
holding it may, by mutual agreement, make any 
arrangement satisfactory to both not incon- 
sistent with the conditions above set forth, as to 
exact dates, length of course, racing rules and 
any and all other conditions. 
Should a club holding the cup for any cause 
be dissolved the cup shall revert to the preced- 
ing club holding it. Should the Brooklyn Y. 
C. be dissolved all special rights herein reserved 
to that club shall revert to the club then holding 
the cup. 
It is understood that the cup is to be the 
property of the club holding it, subject to the 
conditions herein set forth, and not the property

Motor Boat Racing. 
Tue Palm Beach Power Boat Asociation has 
issued its programme for the carnival and races 
to be held on Lake Worth, Palm Beach, from 
March 16 to 20. This will be the fourth annual 
carnival and race meet of this association. The 
programme, as was the case last year, caters to 
all classes of boats and all will have a good 
show to win in the March races. 
The Florida motor boat builders are getting 
ready for the fray, and it looks as if the Florida 
designer of motor boats will be much in eyi- 
dence at Palm Beach. Jacksonville has organ 
ized a motor boat club and gave very successful 
rages on Thanksgiving Day. Postmaster Alba, 
of St. Augustine, is organizing the citizens to 
bring off motor boat races, and throughout 
Florida generally there is a tremendous interest 
shown in motor boating.
