Ask the secretary, that's what he is for. - This Yacht Club is going to be the base of operations for a revolutionary type of boat that is to be tried this vear for the first time. You all know those little bath-tubs known as Sabot Prams. This new type boat is a "Pram multiplied by three and built of steel. -That's right, a twenty-seven foot steel pram is going to be seen on this lake during the coming season. Just how she is going to be rigged we don't know, but whatever she looks like, she is going to give rise to much discussion in the yachting world. And che will be under this club's burgee, We feel quite proud of that fact. As a matter of fact, our fleet holds such promise of expansion this yegr, that we must do more work on the Club house to accommodate. the gear from the boats. So if you are called upon to use a hammer and saw a' bit, --.do so, by all means, } You might be called upon to use a "rake or lawn roller too. Those tennis coilits that have been talked 'about for so long are going in this year. "The boss says so. ' Then we are going ta set up a great + flag pole and making parking pro- visions. .
