A meeting of the Gloucester Yacht club and regatta 
committee of the club were held on Tuesday and Wed- 
nesday evenings of the week, at the clubhouse, Rocky 
Neck, East Gloucester, to make arrangements for the re- 
ception of the Massachusetts Yacht Racing Association 
fleet, which visits this port on August 8 and 9. ~ At the 
neeting of the Regatta committee of the Glouceser Yacht 
club, Wednesday evening of last week, it was voted to 
abolish the point system of figuring~percentages and in 
its place to apply the following paragraph: “It will be 
assumed in figuring percentages that a yacht shall have 
started in at least 80 per cent. as many races as the yacht 
having the largest number of starts in her class.” 
It was also voted to discontinue the guns for the 
first and second classes, so that in the future there will be 
three guns for the 18-foot class; warning gun, 2.27; per- 
faratory 2.30 and starting 2.33. The interest is increas- 
ing each week, in the Saturday afternoon races.
