'''ADIRONDACKS EASILY REACHED BY YACHTS'''

'''Several Speed Boats To Race At Westport Sat. From N. Y., Thru All-Water Route'''

The ease with which yachts can travel between New York city and the Adirondacks by way of the Hudson river, barge canal and Lake Champlain is proving a factor in influencing New York city and Connecticut yachtsmen to enter boats in the port Yacht club regatta on Lake Champlain, which is set for Saturday. Because they can return to New York city by an all-water route, some of the faster yachts in the country have been entered in the Westport races.

George H. Townsend of Greenwich, Conn., has his speedy Greenwich Folly at Upper St. Regis lake in preparation for races at Saranac Lake in the middle of the week. Mr. Townsend, recently won the Golf Cup event at Greenwich for the second successive time, is expected to accept the Westport club's invitation because of the ease with which he will be able to return home from Lake Champlain.

Several other yachtsmen from metropolitan clubs are entering for the same reason.
