MAGGIE'S RECORD. 



MAGGIE sailed her maiden race on Saturday, 25th May, 1878, on 

 the Thames, having entered for the 20-tons match of the Nore 

 Yacht Club, which, up to this year, adopted the system of giving no 

 time-allowance. Maggie, however, was credited with five minutes' 

 time from the three twenties, these being, first, the famous Vanessa, 

 originally built in 1S73 by Dan Hatcher, for Mr. II. Sparvcl Bayley, 

 who raoed her hard and won a prize every time, save on two occa- 

 sions, when she was disqualified. She was purchased and raced in 

 1H70 by Mr. I. N. Sinclair, who won 17 first and 5 second prizes iu her; 

 then in 1870 she became the property of Mr. F. Cox, continuing her 

 victorious career under him until 1878. when Mr. R. Berwick bought 

 her. The second twenty was Fmiquota, also built by Hatcher in 1877 

 for Mr. W. G. Jameson, of the Royal Irish and Royal Alfred Y. C, 

 and which proved a sharp thorn in Vanessa's side, and the third was 

 Fredorica, decidedly a second-rate, built in 1877 by E. P. Harris, of 

 East Donnyland. for Mr. F. N. Pochin. and which, on the four occa- 

 sions when she met Maggie, was always beaten Ivy her. There was 

 not much chance for the new fifteen to show off her powers iu this 

 race, the weather being paltry in the extreme. She finished third, 

 nearly lo minutes astern of F.nriqueta. and seven of Vanessa. 



She came again to the line ou tne 27th. in the Junior Thames Y. C. 

 lo tons mate),, healing Torch nearly 19 minutes iu a moderate s. w. 

 breeze. On the 29th, she was again matched with Vanessa, Euriqueta 

 and Frouerica iu the 20-tons race of the New Thames Y. C. There was 

 a fine n. e. breeze, in which both Vanessa and Euriqueta proved too 

 good for her, coming in (% and A niiuuies ahead of her respectively. 

 Maggie, in this race, met with an accident to her bowsprit gear, and 

 was without a jib for some lime, which, of course, told heavily against 

 her. On the 1st of June, in a moderate u. e. breeze, she sailed in the 

 J miior Thames Y. C. handicap race from South End to Harwich, a 

 distance of 10 miles, when she lost first prize to Florence (10) on time, 

 seeming second for herself Torch was in this race but was disabled. 

 At Harwich she sailed in the 2.Vtons race, and in a very light wind 

 Vanessa got first prize, leaving second to Maggie, Which beat Freder- 

 i -a .ind Lizzie (2d, but sailing as 16 under rig allowance for yawls). 

 Lizzie had been on.- of the most famous -M-toniiers in her day, and 

 had been built in 1888 by Hatcher, for Mr. C. H. Coddington. She 

 ;peedily reached the top of her class and was a worthy precursor of

 Mr. L. If. Kelly, formerly owner of the Mohican, which Maggie had 

 tanned the previous year. Nor was Viola more successful, tor out of 

 30 encounters with Maggie, she suffered 23 defeats, beating her 

 5 times, once thanks to the fifteen being dead becalmed. On the 

 oeeasion of the race at Dover both she and Maggie gave up. They 

 met again at Ostend on the 20th, when in a strong s. w. wind \ anessa

 built in 1871 bv Dickinson, of Birkenhead, was well known on the

 Mr. W. G. Jameson, already referred to as owner of F.nriquota (30), 

 who won .-. lot of priz'-s with her. she was assuredly one of the very 

 fastest of the M.rsey lens, and Hatcher, when he saw her hauled up, 

 said he did not see where he could improve her. She resumed her 

 former name in 1*0. In 1WS she belonged to Mr. W. S. Windham, 

 who sold her in 1.179 when he ordered Vesper iis> from Hatcher, but 

 was no more successful in tackling Maggie with his uew craft than he 

 had been with his former and smaller one. The day alter the R.

 beating Maio b. I2niin .exclusive of time allowance (5mm.), sailing 

 oi ihe rate of 9.7 miles an hour. The Royal Southampton 

 week afforded Maggie two more triumphs, when, on the 5th, in a tight 

 breeze and calms, she defeated lldegonda and Torch, though getting 

 in only a minute aud a half ahead of the former. As 1 will describe

 At the Royal Dart, September 1, Maggie managed in a drifting race 

 to score off Euriqueta, and at Bxmouth she beat Sonata (10), built in 

 1871 by Philip, Of Dartmouth, winding up her season on October 1, 

 by beating Ueorgie (15) in a private match at Weymouth. She had 

 started eighteen times, winning eleven fir»t and two second prizes— 



In 1S80 she was bought by Mr. Francis Taylor, who had previously 

 owned the Kismet, a ten built by Dickinson, aud Alma, four. He gave 

 her a new mast, more lead, and new sails, and iu a preliminary trial
