THE CUTTER'S GREAT VICTORY. 



MAGGIE WINS FROM A FLEET OP CRACKS. 



AGAIN the cutter has won ! As though last year's victories of the 

 Madge were hut a premonition of wnat was in .store, the fine fif- 

 i Maggie takes hold of the account and adds her second to 

 in favor of the cutter. The municipal regatta of Boston 

 city, sailed on the nation's birthday, July 4, in Boston Harbor, will 

 pass clown in sporting history as the most important racing event 

 since the days of the America in Cowes waters, back in 1851. That 

 schooner won fairl.v and handsomely from a fleet, and since her days 

 ibilion. international in character, had not been vouch- 

 safed until Maggie unfolded another page in the volume of nautical 

 doings, and in proving her superiority over cherished ideas, once 

 mare threatens to turn customs and faith topsy-turvy and instigate a 

 second new era. What the America did for fine bows and flat sails, 

 Maggie has done for depth, lov, ballast and ship-shape rig. In beat- 

 ing a very smart fleet— as smart as can be mustered in Boston, and, 

 we believe, quite up to tne best lot to be gathered in New York— the 

 Maggie brought to a climax the work already got under way by her 

 predecessor. Her victory was complete, her laurels gathered in fair, 

 Square fight without dui^es, the odds heavily in favor of her adver- 

 saries; and what is more, sue accomplished her feat in "our waters," 

 in "our winds" and under "our rules." Boldly she went into the 

 ; i ay, asked for nothing, received nothing, and came out with a repu- 

 tation winch Will live as long as yacht racing is known, and tell 

 heavily in tne modifications of our home-built craft to be launched 

 in the future. 



Her victory was a great one, most notable in every respect, and 

 unequaled in international annals. She met a fleet of more than or- 

 dinary flyers', not a lot of old-faahioned tubs such as the America 

 tackled in 1861, She met the very latest ideas, boats in the best of 

 condition, with nearly a year to profit by the lessons taught by the 

 Madge in relation to ballast, rig and line handling. She met not a 

 Sel, like the Sappho abroad or the Madge or Mischief last 

 year, but took a crowd ny the horns, with all the chances of being 

 pothered or blanketed by one while the others went about their way 

 rejoicing. She met not vessels all smaller than herself, nor yet all 

 larger. Her victims counted Anna, some six feet shorter; Hesper, 

 own size, and Undine, some six feet longer. There was 

 big, little and like, so that tonnage disappears as an element in her 

 achievements. Her opponents were not "taken unawares," but knew 

 exactly tne kind of ship and crew they were going to tight. They 

 were not an odd lot, nor assortment of secoud grade, but included 

 names which have figured in these columns with great credit in many 

 a hard-fought match with the best in our waters. 



There were no flukes, but a serious "covering up" of the cutter by all 

 in her wake on the run homo, so that by stealing her wind, Maggie's 

 lead was materially cut down. Moreover the gale was freshening 

 toward the close and (hose in her wake brought the increase with 

 i hern en i profited most. Yet with all this agamst. her and in favor 

 of the sloops, sued a merry twist out to windward and such fast run- 

 B1 i- did the crack cutter show that she won from them all in very 

 good, fashion, and but for the "covering" by the big ones in her wake 

 would have crossed pretty much as she' liked. This "covering" was 

 fair enough and no exception is taken thereto, but it should be noted 

 in attempting to get an acurate conception of the cutter's compara- 

 tive performance. 



Her opponents included Commodore W. B. Lambert's Anna, Mr. 

 W, H. Forbes's Hesper and Hon. Benjamin Dean's Undine. The Anna 

 was built by Ivirby, of Eye, whose sloops are known for their speed. 

 ¥e believe she possesses an. excellent reputation in the East. The 

 Hesper is a quasi-cutter, impolitely dubbed "half-breed," designed 

 by A. Oarey Smith, built last year by Piepgrass, of Greenpoint, and 

 probably tne fastest boat of her class around Cape Cod. Her record 

 is toil fresh in the public's mind to need recapitulation, for the races 

 she has sailed form part of our last two volumes. The Undine de- 

 mands no special introduction. She is as familiar to New York as 

 She is to Boston, a windjammer without, many equals, one of our best 

 boats in a sea; and to say that she is the property of Hon. Benjamin 

 Dean is a guarantee that in point of trim ana fittings she is up to the 

 highest American practice. As a matter of interest we append

Time allowance was based on load line length in all classes. The 

 breeze struck in at a whole sail rate from trie east with an air of per- 

 mancency, and Bome of the small fry were frightened off, leaving, 

 a agh for the prizes offered. Promptly at noou the 

 bio- ones were sent away from an anchor with oails set. All interest 

 centered upon the curier and how she would dispose of such redoubt- 

 able craft as Undine and Hesper. 



The question was soon set at rest, for Maggie, accustomed to live 

 work, was quickest to till on her CO ira bea she at Once began out- 

 pointing h'T rivals, and screwing :o windward In a way wholesome 

 and edify tog to those who think cutters must needs "sag" 

 to leeward on account of their heeiing, By regulation faith, Maggie 

 ought to have been slow to pay off and "logy." Then she should 

 have commence d "sagging oif," and been dropped under the lee of 

 ail the sloops, who were also, according to l'aitn, to foot two fathoms 

 to the cutter's one. But obstinate Maggie was lively as a cricket, 

 spim round like a. top, quickly gathered way, and held a grip on the 

 wind none of the rest could equal. And she footed to such good pur- 

 pose thai a good lead was soon established, Regulation raith was 

 : and wondered in mute disappointment how such things 

 could be. Bui here was the evidence berore their ■■■ .. - 



conundrum than to pocket buncombe and bravely acknowl- 



Hesper and Undine had made a very fair start, with Anna a few 

 seconds later, owing to some trouble with her spring. All got off on 

 o-d tack, making the first fetch to Castle Island. After 

 ictacle and Loilg Island shores were worked close 

 |b avoid the strength of the Asthe li ■ •: .looked out the Broad 



Sound slack water was met and lie breeze rapidly petered. The 

 Butter lost It first and fell into the doldrums, the rest working up on 



i loneoquence, This had the effect of shearing the cutter of 



i thai would ha\e been her due ha J the wind not proven so tickle. 



It sprang up again soon from the old quarter and Maggie a 1 



more water between herself and the rest. Hesper had held second, 



With Undine a good third, and in this order the Graves Whistle and 



the Hardings bell boat were rounded and sheets eased for the run up. 

 The wind steadily rose, until near the finish a mild gale was piping. 

 How Maggie held a lead under these conditions against smart sloops 

 larger and longer than herself is something of a marvel, aud speaks 

 volumes for her running capacities, especially as Hesper is a good 

 one at that business. 



The followers nntonly brought the freshening gale along with them, 

 but sought to "cover" the leader, and Undine's big spread told to 

 effect, for both Hesper and herself were running up on the cutter. 

 The latter had too much to spare, however, and bowled over the line 

 victorious, landing the city purse, winning a hundred fold in reputa- 

 tion, and compelling profound respect for her type in quarters where 

 cutters had most been ridiculed and their speed laughed to scorn as 

 a chimera of Forest ano Stream. Boston nas had its eyes opened 

 wide, andis likelv to learn from the lesson. The. estimable patriots 

 who take blind zeal as a virtue aud depreciate impartial investiga- 

 tion with judgment according to fact and merit, went home dejected, 

 sadder and a trifle wiser men. The. band hired to celebrate the dis- 

 comfiture of the cutter, toddled off without as much as tuning up for 

 the grand final which did not coma to pass, and Forest and Stream 

 stock rose to its highest quotation. 



in second class Snadow had it her own way. being, however, cloBely 

 hunted by Nimbus, another HeiTeshoff production. Among the 

 keels, Lillie added still another to her long string of winnings, and 

 the small fry finished, as shown in the tables below, the Adrienne, the 

 only schooner entered in first class, taking prize on sail over.

SALEM BAY Y. C.-JULY 4. 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 



The merits of the yawl rig were tried in the Salem Bay race yester- 

 day, and although Alice beat White Cap 21 minutes, yet it arose from 

 one of our days when by fiaws and breezes in one part of the bay aud 

 calms in another she gained an accidental advantage. Last year 

 she could beat White Cap as a schooner fairly under equal conditions. 

 This time she beat her by a fluke, and there was no chance to get a 

 correct gauge of the White Cap's speed rigged as a yawl. The breeze 

 up to 13:80 o'clock was a stiff one, but at tnat hour suddenly fell to 

 one of moderate strength, what might be termed a fight sail day. 

 The courses were as follows: 



First class— From off the club house, through the main ship channel, 

 leaving black buoy No. 13 on Haste shoal, on starboard, Bowditch 

 ledge on the starboard, then to the red buoy on Eastern Point ledge, 

 leaving it on starboard ; then to Half- Way Rock, leaving it on star- 

 board; then to the starting point, leaving Lowell Island on the star- 

 board, and black buoys on Haste ledge and Haste shoal on port. 

 Distance, 25 miles. 



Third class— From the starting point off the club house, through the 

 main ship channel, leaving Bowditch ledge on the starboard; then to 

 Lowell Island, leaving black buoy on Cut Throat ledge and buoy on 

 the Brimbles, on the port; then to starting point, leaving Lowell 

 Island on starboard. Distance, 7 miles. 



Fourth class— From the slatting point off the elub house, out the 

 main ship channel, leaving Bowditch ledge on the starboard; red buoy 

 No. B ou Eagle Island bar, on the port ; thence to Gray's rock, leaving 

 it on the starboard, to starting point. Distance. 5 mil es. 



The starting gun was fired promptly at one o'clock P. M., and the 

 Alice crossed the. line first under a cloud of canvas, presenting a fine 

 appearance, her sails fitting beautifully. The White Cap got away 

 three and one-half minutes later, and both yachts had almost a dead 

 heat to windward to Eastern point stake, a distance of ahout eleven 

 miles. The White Gap at once outpointed her competitor, and when 

 up with Baker's Island, about four miles from the starting point, had 

 reduced the distance between her and the Alice to a few hundred 

 yards. Both yachts now stood out to sea for a long hitch to the east- 

 ward, the wind having fallen fight and hauled further to the north- 

 east. Jib topsails were set, and with everything drawing they went 

 through the water barely three miles an hour. After standing on 

 some time the Alice tacked, having only very slightly incri 

 lead over the vawl. and stood in shore hunting for a breeze. At this 

 ttme the Bf si sn point stake was about three and a half miles off. 

 The yawl stood furtherout to sea looking for a breeze in that quarter. 

 When close under Magnolia the Alice- tacked snip shortly after the 

 White Cap, the latter pamtlng well to windward of the stake. Out- 

 side the breeze now fell so light that the yawl moved through the 

 water barely two miles an hour, while a breeze drawing down out of 

 Gloucester harbor close along the Magnolia shore gave the Alice a 

 fine Bend oft which she Improved to the utmost, while her competi- 



tor was occupying an entire hour in getting over the two miles and a 

 half to the stake, and the schooner rounded it over twenty minutes 

 ahead. 



From the stake to Half Way Rock was a run dead before the wind, 

 and the seven miles was made by both yachts in almost exactly the 

 same time, occupying an hour 'and seventeen minutes in the light 

 breeze. By the time the yawl reached the rock the Alice was well up 

 to the Haste, having run very fast with all sails drawing, and got 

 within a mile and a quarter for the finish. The had luck of the yawl 

 still followed her, for the wind again fell so light that when she 

 rounded Half Way Rock and brought her head sails to fill she did not 

 sail so fast as in running before it. This continued until Lowell 

 Island was turned, when a slight improvement in the breeze brought 

 her home at 6:20 P. M. It was demonstrated and admitted on all 

 sides, however, that the yawl rig has greatly improved the sailing 

 qualities of the yacht, since in the same run from Eastern Point 

 Stake to Half Way Rock last year in a race the Alice outran the 

 White Cap, then schooner rigged, five minutes, and held her an even 

 play ou the wind in a good breeze. 



No prize was awarded in fourth class, as neither the keel nor the 

 board had a competitor. 



In third class Comus and Hop Bitters take prizes.

 J. H. Conant and Releg Aborn. About forty boats had entered, but 

 many could not make the start in time for lack of wind to bring them 

 up. With a light south-southwest air, increasing gradually, a start 

 was effected. Lillie took the lead, with Hera upon her heels. She 

 never lost it, however, and almost as a matter of course won first 

 money, as there seems nothing in Boston Harbor quite good enough 

 for Mr. Bond's well-sailed ship. Waif takes prizes for eenterboards. 

 Two Of her crew, Messrs. Geo. Tyler and Fred Voices courageously 

 jumped overboard and rescued the crew of the little Zip which had 

 capsized, swimming ashore with their burdens through a rough surf 

 and strong undertow. Summary as under:

URCHMONT Y. C.-JULY 4. 



THERE are so many attractions on a national holiday that the 

 entries for a match are liable to suffer decimation. The Larch- 

 mont Corinthian races filled fairly well under the circumstances. 

 Gracie had a sail over, which was "to be regretted, as Sagitta, her 

 ipetitor, is one- of Aloiizo E. Smith's fast ones, and if in racing 

 hands ought to make her mark like her sis'er Hildegarde. It was 

 quite possible that Sagitta could have saved her time off the big one 

 had she answered the signal to go. The sub-division of class A 

 promised to offer good sport, with Eclipse and Rover to lead and 

 Volante and Curlew to Bght it out anions: themselves. An unfortun- 

 ate accident aboard the cutter Volante put the latter around for 

 home. One of her amateur Cl'l Mr -.-- Young, had his leg 



broken by being caught by the ,,... . , .. hd. jibbing, fie was pnl 

 in doctor's hands and was reported subsequently as getting along 



in the fourth class Dr. Barron's Wave won a hollow victory, beat- 

 ing Genia by nearly half an hour. The other classes were for open 

 boats, and many local boats were found at the line. The races were 

 open to the New York, Atlantic, Eastern, .<<■.■■■ Oh : t, I u mthian

 nautical miles. The fourth class rounded the Matinnicock Point 

 buoy, after the reef buoy: the rest of the coarse the same: distance 

 38 miles. 



The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth classes, after turning the reef
