EASTERN Y. C. ANNUAL MATCHES. 



FRIDAY" morning of last week found a fine fleet of yachts, large 

 and small, assembled in the pretty basin among the rocks, 

 known as Marblehead Harbor. Schooners, cutters large and small, 

 and sloops, with yachts' boats and dories afloat on every hand, the 

 occasion being the annual matches of the Eastern Y. C. The oval 

 hay, with quaint old Marblehead on one hand and the hills on the 

 other, covered with pretty cottages, prominent among which is the 

 club house of the Eastern Y. C, made a beautiful picture under the 

 clear June sky. 



The queen of all the fleet in size and dignity was Fortuna, just back 

 from the New York races. Of her smaller sisters the most notice- 

 able was the Harbinger, a new schooner lately completed for Mr. J 

 M. Forbes, by Lawley & Son, from designs by Mr. A. Cary Smith. 

 Her planking is in two thicknesses, the inner skin being lin.' and the 

 outer 2in., with canvas laid in crude turpentine, between. New York 

 was well represented by Bedouin, Been and Wenonah, none of the 

 sloops, however, being present, while Huron, Hesper, Maggie and 

 Shadow promised to make sport in the races, besides which were a 

 large number of yachts not entered, but on hand to see the race. 



The course decided on was No. 6 of the club courses, starting off 

 Marblehead Rock, thence to Pig Rock Stakes, leaving them on star- 

 board, and thence around stakeboat off Egg Rock, leaving it to 

 port; thence to Half-way Rock, leaving it to port, and to the 

 starting boat, leaving it also to port; then out around Half-way Rock 

 again, and finishing between the stakeboat and Marblehead Koek, a 

 distance of twenty and three-quarter miles. The wind throughout 

 the day kept about E.N.E., and was of constant strength, at no time 

 too much for clubtopsails, while the water was perfectly smooth. 

 As the course lay spinnakers were carried from near the start to Egg 

 Rock, six miles, then a beat to Half-way Rock, seven mile*, and free 

 again to the stakeboat, wiih a final beat of two and a quarter miles 

 out to Half-way Rook again, and a run to the finish. The "racing 

 length" on which the time allowance is computed is found by adding 

 one-quarter of the overhang to the water-line length, two-thirds of 

 which sum is then added to the extreme beam. By a resolution 

 passed this year, however, the Regatta Committee may adopt the 

 present rule of the New York Y. C, at its discretion. 



The tug Confidence was ready in the morning at Marblehead Rock 

 with the Regatta Committee, Messrs. Appleton, Jackson, Peabody, 

 Haven and Goddard aboard, the members and guests of the club 

 being on the steamer Twilight, in charge of Messrs. Blake and Tbaver, 

 which after calling at Salem for some members, arrived at the Rock 

 at il;45, by which lime all were in position.

At 11:55 the signal for the first class was given, Fortuna going over 

 alone, neither Gitana, or Alice, starting at 11 :58:23. At 12 M. the signal 

 for the second class sounded, Harbinger getting away first at 12:02:11, 

 Adrienne second. Tempest, Clio. Sylph and Rebecca all within their 

 time, crossing with booms to starboard. The signal for first class 

 sloops followed at 12:05. the limit being 12:15, but all were handi- 

 capped, Hesper leading at 12:11:23, Ileen and Wenonah over together 

 at 12:11:39, bedouin 12:11:54, Huron 12:12 and Addie at 12:12:51. All 

 tLe cutters carried club topsails and full lower sail, Bedouin at once 

 starting off through the weather of all for leading position. The 

 second class were also handicapped, their signals being eiven at 12:15 

 and 12:20, and the boats crossing with Hera first at 12:16:04, Shadow 

 12:16:07. Lapwing 12:16:21, Maggie 12:17:06 and Clytie 12:17:12. 



By this time the leaders were well down the wind with spiunakers 

 set. Tempest being noticeable through hers, which was of a deep 

 blue tint, contrasting strongly with the white sails; Bedouin, Ileen 

 and Wenonah were all doing well, the first, well in advance, setting 

 her spinnaker at 12:25, the other two following at once, while Huron 

 and Hesper were two minutes later. At 12:30 Bedouin was still 

 further ahead, Heen and Wenonah slightly on her weather, and 

 Huron, Hesper and Addie in a string behind, 'the latter evidently with 

 no show against her younger competitors. 



Even with so light a wind the run to Egg Rock was quickly made. 

 Fortuna turning first, Clio second, then Harbinger, Adrienne and 

 Rebecca, the judges' boat not arriving soon enough to time them. The 

 rest were tuned as follows: Bedouin 12:51 :52, Wenonah 12-53:39, Heen 

 12:55:20, Huron 12:56:00, Addie 12:57:40. Hesper 12:58:00. Maggie 1-05:16, 

 Hera 1:05:25. Shadow 1:06:28, Lapwing 1:06:43, Clytie 1 :08 .08. 



The beat of 7 miles to the next mark was very tedious in the light 

 wind, the yachts being widely scattered, Bedouin having worked 

 ahead of all but Fortuna, while Wenonah was trying for third place. 

 The first to approach Halfway Rock was Fortuna, coming up with. 

 both working topsails set, main club topsail, and maintopu.ast stay- 

 sail. Near the rock Fhe was obliged to tack, while Bedouin, coming 

 up with spinnaker boom all ready, made the mark without tacking 

 thus lessening still more the distance between them.

Tempest gave up, not rounding the mark. 



Sheets were eased off and spinnakers set for the short ruu in, Be- 

 fore the tail of the fleet was clear of the rock Bedouin was seen 

 coming up gradually for the second turn, to leeward of Fortuna. but 

 so far ahead that near the rock she stood across the latter's bows on
