Decker and J. Hasbrouck, Jr., Janet. Result.— Dido, first; Chuui, 

 second, 



Tbe latter portion of tbe programme was interrupted by tbe usual 

 Fourth of July storm, which drove all to the boats and hurried them 

 borne, 



The Rondout C. 0. seem to be able to have a good time on less pro- 

 vocation than any canoe club we know of, and from what we hear of 

 their doings the members arc much to be envied. 



BAYONNE C. C. 



TfUS club, which started in a small way two years ago is now quite 

 nourishing, the members being all' enthusiastic canoeists and 

 bard workers, having built, 'heir own house and many of their canoes. 

 Their house is now too small to hold all the boats, and they expect to 

 enlarge it soon. Newark Bay is a line place for canoe sailing, there 

 being but little traffic, and the tides, though strong, being much better 

 than in New York Bay or the Kills, while" there is an excellent beach 

 on the east shore. 



The first regatta of the club was held on July 4, there being four 

 races on the programme. In spite ef the unpleasant weather the 

 club and their friends enjoyed the sport 



The first event was a paddling race with seven entries, distance one 

 mile with a turn. Won by F. B. Collins, with T. Garrett second and 

 A. T. Fleming third. 



The sailing race, three miles, triangular course, was not finished, 

 as the. mark could not be found in the fog. The double paddling race 

 brought out four canoes, the distance being one mile with (urn, and 

 was won by A. Fleming and R. Vienot, by five lengths, with F. B. and 

 J L. Collins second. The last race, an upset, was won by Com. 

 Smith, with L. F. Burke second, there being five entries. 



MOHICAN C. C. 



THE Mohicans have lately increased their membership to twenty- 

 eight canoeists and eighteen canoes, and numbers of them may 

 be daily seen on the river. Bast Saturday, June 88, a championship 

 badge and flag, offered by Capt. Gibson.' was sailed for in a race of 

 about three miles, and w« by a new member, Geo. H. Timelier. Jr., 

 in the Lasca, a Rushtnn EUard : the Thetis, B. M. Waekerhagen. came 

 in second, and the Uncus, H. R. Pierson. Jr., third, no other canoes 

 participatinsr. Mr. Thacber will hare to defend his prize in a race on 

 the 26th of July 



Gen. Oliver offered a silver cup-as prize to be sailed for by canoes 

 of any class, sail limited to 60ft., but the Executive Committee has 

 not yet taken any action about it. 



At the regular 'meeting of the club, held to-day, several resolutions 

 were adopted, viz. : That if the official programme of the A. C. A. 

 meet is not amended to include a Bailing race for canoes of B class, 

 without heavy centerboard, the M. 0, C. will offer a Hag, value $10, 

 as first prize for such a race in Eel Bay; and that in races of the M. C. 

 C, canoes with centerboards weighing more than fifteen pounds 

 should not be admitted, 



Nine Mohicans talk now of going to the Thousand Islands, but it is 

 not quite sure whether the club will be so well represented. 



Fior da Lice. 



ROYAL C. C— The race of Saturday, June 14, was sailed in Ted- 

 dmgton Reach, with three entries, Imogen, H. Church; Gladys, T. F. 

 Knowles; Violet, W. Wataey. There were four rounds to the course, 

 the wind being W. N. W. The times were as follows: 



First Round. Second Round. Third Round. Finish.

CRUISING NOTES.-Dr. Neido and Mr. J. F. Newman, N. Y, 0. C, 

 started on a long cruise on July 3, leaving Caldwell at noon. Lorna 

 Island at 8 A. M. on the 4th, Cook's Point 7 A. M. July 5, Ticonderoga 

 2 P. M. same day, and making camp near Crown Point that night in 

 a heavy blow and rainstorm. The weather was very variable, dead 

 calm or very hot, wind light and squally or blowing very hard. The 

 canoeists expect to be at Grindstone, Island by July 20, or perhaps 

 earlier. Mr. Alden is off again on his usual cruise down the Richelieu. 



A NEW CANOE CLEAT.— We have received from Mr. Tyson two 

 cleats of a new pattern, designed by Mr. E. B. Tredwen^ R. C. C. 

 They are in one piece, light but very long, being 4in. and 6^in., and 

 are so shaped that the cord jams between them and the deck, and 

 are recommended as superior to Paget's rocking cleat, while much 

 cheaper. 



ATALANT1S.— Mr. Stoddart. L. G. C. C, resumed his cruise this 

 week around the coast, in company with Mr. R. B. Burehard, N. Y. 

 C. C. They were at Wood's Hole on July 6, stormbound, but arrived 

 at Ilyannis at 6 P. M. on the 7th, leaving'next morning. 



NEW YORK C. C— The club will meet on Saturday, July 12, at 3 

 P. M,, at the club house, for a series of scrub races for practice. The 

 programme, will be decided on meeting. A janitor is now employed 

 regularly by the club.

HULL Y. C. REVIEW AND CRUISE. 



SHORT cruises in company are becoming more popular with our 

 yachts each year, and this season a better opportunity than 

 usual is offered, as the 1th and 5th of July, as well as the 30th and 31st 

 of May were both generally observed as holidays, giving a chance for 

 three days away from business. About New York, the Knickerbocker 

 and Jersey City Y. 0., and in Philadelphia, the Quaker City Y. C, 

 have taken advantage of the three holidays for their club' cruises'. 

 and in Boston, the Hull Y. C. has called together all who cared to 

 neglect the races for cruising. The programme called for a review 

 of the fleet in the morning, the start for the cruise following. 



Friday morning broke with a promise of a storm, but by 8 A. M., a 

 breeze from the southwest changed the appearance of things, bring- 

 ing sunlight and every prospect of a fine sail, which was fulfilled by 

 10 A. M., by which time the Brenda, with Commodore C. A. Perkins 

 on board, signaled for the fleet to pass in review. The Vif , Vice-Com- 

 modore William H. Crane, led the fleet out into Nantasket Bay. then 

 in with a free sheet, heaving up under the stern of the Brenda, and 

 firing a gun to leeward, which was answered by one on the flagship, 

 each yacht saluting in turn until all had passed, when they hove to 

 and waited for the Brenda to get under way. At 11 A. M.. the signal 

 to make sail was hoisted, Brenda having taken her position at the 



schooner Alice, Captaiu William Lockhart; schooner Tempest. Cap- 

 tain Whittier; sloops Hera, Captain Weld; Echo. Captain Fan-ell- 

 Nimbus, Captain Jenney; Gem, Captain Osgood: cutters, Sigdriffa 

 Captain Monks and Ella May. Fleet Captain George Tyler, and other 

 sailing and steam yachts. At 2 P. M. the fleet anchored in Marble- 

 head Harbor. 



BOSTON CITY MATCHES, JULY 4. 



THE city matches on July 4 brought out nearly one hundred yachts 

 of all kinds and sizes, from Maggie, the stylish cutter of ilHtt., 

 to little. Shrimp of 18ft; The wind was very light in the morning, but 

 came out fresher from the east, and held tnere through the race. 



The courses sailed were for first class (sloops and schooners of 

 over 38ft.), from the judges' boat out Broad Sound, leaving Ham Head 

 buoy on the starboard and Fan Bar buoys on the port, rounding Fog 

 Whistle, off the northeast ledge of the Graves, leaving it on the star- 

 board; thence to the bell boat on Harding's Ledge, leaving it on the 

 starboard, up Lighthouse Channel, through the Narrows, leaving 

 Fort Warren, GaUop's Island and Nix's Mate buoys and Spectacle 

 Island on the port, to the judges' boat, passing between it and the 

 flagboat, a distance of twenty miles. For Class 2 (sloops and schoon- 

 ers 25 to 38ft ), from the judges' boat down the VYest Way, leaving 

 Thompson and Rainsford islands on the starboard. Long and George's 

 islands and Point Alderton buoy No. 3 on the port, and back through 

 the Narrows, leaving Fort Warren, Gallop's Island and Nix's Mate 

 buoys on tbe port, to tbe judges' boat, passing between it and the 

 flagboat, a distance of fourteen miles. For Class 3 (for keels and 

 centerboards 20 to 26ft.). from the judges' boat round a flagboat 

 moored off Cow Pasture Bar, near the pumping station, leaving it on 

 the port; thence to buoy No. 7, off Fort Independence, leaving it on 

 the starboard; thence to Sc-ulpin Ledge buoy, leaving it on the port; 

 thence to buoy No. 6 on Lower Middle, leaving it on the port, to the 

 judges' boat, passing between it and the flagboat, a distance of eight 

 miles. For Class 4 (keels and centerboards), from the judges' boat 

 to buoy No. 0, leaving it on the starboard; leaving buoy No. 7, off 

 Fori, Independence, on the starboard, buoy No. B (Cow Pasture Bar) 

 on the starboard , passing between the judges' boat and flagboat, a 

 distance of five miles. 



Messrs. Morton. Whittier, Nugent, Lappen, Farrar, Bigelow and 

 Brigham, of the City Council, had charge of tbe arrangements, the 

 judges being Messrs. Riley, Morris, Loring, Palmer, Melvm and 

 Guild. The tug Wesley A. Gove carried the judges over the course, 

 but it was impossible to see all of the boats on their different courses. 



At 10:30 the starting signal was given, the fleet getting away in 



good order. No time was taken at the various marks, but by noon, 

 when the judges' tug returned to the starting pom t, Joker was not 

 far away, the first home, the rest coming in in groups. 



To time such a fleet was no easy matter, but it was finally accom- 

 plished, and the times computed as follows:

KNICKERBOCKER Y. C. ANNUAL CRUISE. 



IN obedience to orders from the flagship Sara, Commodore Hobby, 

 the following yachts made sail at 4 P. M., off the club house, July 

 3; Sara, Gipsy, Lizzie R„, Reverie and Gil Bias. The wind was light, 

 and the yachts did not reach Echo Bay, the rendezvous, till late in 

 the afternoon. At 8 P. M., the rest of the fleet were, towed up byatug 

 chartered for the occasion, and under command of the club's busy 

 secretary, W. R. Morse. This fleet consisted of yachts Grade, May- 

 otta, Whimbrel, Maggie, Rosetta A, Adele, Mystery, Peerless. Sea 

 Robin, Reckless and Waconda. They reached' Echo Bay at 11:30 P 

 M„ and were warmly received by the yachts which had preceded 

 them, 



At 8 A. M., July 4, a meeting was held on board the Sara, and the 

 captains agreed to proceed to Larchmont, see the start of the Larch- 

 mont Y. C. regatta, and then make the anchorage off the Indian 

 Harbor Hotel, Greenwich. The weather was threatening from the 

 S.E., and by noon it blew "great guns" and heavy rain commenced 

 to fall. When off Larchmont, Sara stowed large jib and set her 

 storm jib, reefed mainsail and kept off for Greenwich, not waiting to 

 see the race start. Some of the yachts followed her. but the fleet 

 became somewhat scattered owing to the heavy weather. Luriine 

 hauled her wind for Cow Bay, and Gipsy and Gracie ran for Milford. 



However, before nightfall most of tbe yachts reached the anchor- 

 age agreed upon. The crews of the small boats, after dressing in oil 

 skins and rubber boots, retired to somewhat moist sleeping accommo- 

 dations. >v aconda reached Indian Harbor first, with Sara second. 



At six bells the next morning the fleet started for Oyster Bay in 

 the face of the easterly gale and heavy rain. Sara reached Oyster 

 Bay first. Peerless was struck by a heavy squall when in the middle 

 of Sound and was blown to Bridgeport before she was able to spread 

 any canvas. Maggie, a wee catboat under command of Capt. Gus 

 Wagner, was pluckily bandied and went the rounds with the fleet. 



On Sunday A. M., the fleet left Oyster Bay homeward bound, and 

 arrived during the late afternoon and evening. At the start the 

 Knickerbockers were joined by yachts from the East River, Yonkers, 

 Harlem and Newark yacht clubs. That the cruise was brought to a 

 successful termination reflects considerable credit on the seamanship 

 of the members of the Knickerbocker. Three worse days as to wind 

 and weather it would be bard to select from an entire yachting sea- 

 son. 



ATLANTIC Y. C. CRUISE. 



FLEET Captain R. C. Field has issued the following orders of Com- 

 modore H. H. Hogins, regarding the annual cruise of the Atlan- 

 tic Y. C. : 



GENERAL ORDERS NO. 4. 



Flaoship Aqnes, July 7, 1884. 



1. The rendezvous of the fleet of the Atlantic Y. C, for its annual 

 cruise, will be on Saturday, July 26, at the harbor of Norwalk Islands, 

 and off Wilson Point. 



Members and guests desiring to join their yachts at the latest mom- 

 ent can take steamboat leaving New York, pier No. 27 East River, at 

 a quarter to 3 P. M., or Thirty-first street at 3 P. M., or train at 4 P. 

 M. from Grand Central Depot, connecting with Daubury and Nor- 

 walk Railroad, at Norwalk, for Wilson Point. The facilities of this 

 place as a rendezvous are represented as complete, particularly m 

 the matter of railway, steamboat and telegraph communication and 

 dock accommodation. 



2. On a signal from flagship, after arrival of train and boat, the 

 fleet will sail for Black Rock. 



3. On Sunday, July 27, service will be held on a yacht of the fleet to 

 be hereafter designated. At half-past ten A. M. a gun will be fired 

 from the flagship, when the service signal will be hoisted on the 

 yacht on which service will be held at eleven o'clock. General at- 

 tendance is desired, and captains are requested to have their gigs 

 ashore to convey such shore guests as may desire to attend. 



4. There wUl be two divisions of the fleet during the cruise, classes 



A, B, C and D comprising the first and 'all other elapses the second 

 division, and the signal for starting will be habitually as follows: 

 First gun from flagship to prepare to sail. Ten minutes later- 

 Second gun from yacht Nomad, Rear Commodore Wintringh am, 

 for the second division to start. Ten minutes later- 

 Third gun from yacht Enterprise, Vice-Commodore Moffat, for 

 first division to start, 

 5. On due signals the fleet will proceed as follows: 

 On Monday, July 28, to New London; on Tuesday, July 29, to Green - 

 po-t: on Wednesday, July 30, to Stonington; on Thursday, July 31. 

 to Newport; on Friday, Aug. 1, to New Bedford. 

 At New Bedford (or earlier/ further or final orders will be issued. 

 0. Any Captain in second division desiring to make the stare I'oi 

 New London prior to the regular start will be permitted to do so on 

 application to the Commodore. 



Attention is called to the fact that, with the exception of the run of 

 July 28, tbe cruise has been so arranged as to make it feasible for the 

 smaller cabin yachts of the club, and to avoid, as far as possible, the 

 very early start heretofore necessary. It is greatly desired, there- 

 fore, that the fleet of such yachts will be large. 



7. These daily runs will to an extent be trials of speed, and the first 

 yacht arriving at the destined port will take its own time of arrival 

 and that of the other yachts of the fleet, selecting, if possible, a point 

 for turning that will be equitable and fair to all, and report the result 

 to the commodore. 



8. Yachts should be provided with red fire or Roman candles for 

 use in case of fleet sailing at nigh I, 



9. These orders are subject to alteration or modification as occa- 

 sion may require. 



LYNN OPEN MATCHES, JULY 4. 



THE open matches of Friday last were the first held since 1880, but 

 they were so successful that it is to be hoped they will be held 

 every year. The entries numbered 41, of which 33 went over the 

 course, the boats being from 18 to 27ft. in length. Tbe course for the 

 first, second and special classes was from club house to a flagboat off 

 Point of Pines, leaving it on port, thence to western Lobster Rocks 

 buoy, leaving it on port, thence to judges' boat, a distance of 5 miles; 

 that for class three being from the club house to a flagboot off Pines 

 Point, leaving it on port, thence to Sand Point buoy, leaving it on port, 

 thence to judges' boat, 3 miles. The boats were divided as fol- 

 lows: Class 1, 20ft. and not over 27ft.; class 2, centreboards, 17ft and 

 not over 31ft.; special class, keels, 17ft. and not over 20ft, ; third class, 

 12ft. and not over 17ft. The prices were, first class, $25, $15, $10, $5; 

 second class, $20, $15, $10, $5; special class, $20, $15. $5; third class, 

 $15, $10, $7, $5. The judges were Messrs. W, B. Newhall and B. W. 

 Rowell. 



The wind came from tbe east at 8 o'clock, freshing up sufficiently 

 to make a good race throughout. The following table gives the full 

 times of the classes.

[LARCHMONT Y. C. ANNUAL MATCHES. 



AFRESH northeast wind made plenty of work for the sailor men of 

 the Larchmont Y. C, in their fifth annual matches, on Friday 

 last, wmile the day was cool enough to make it pleasant for the spec 

 tators, and excepting the rain squalls in the afternoon, the weather 

 was all that they could desire, a strong wind from one quarter all 

 day, and not enough sea to bother even the little fellows. 



The club is better situated than any other about New York, having 

 a good anchorage, plenty of water for sailing, and in addition, hand- 

 some grounds and club house close to the anchorage, many of tbe 

 members having cottages near by, while some of the bachelors live 

 in the club house. Although comparatively a new organization the 

 club numbers over 300 members with 1 14 yachts. Shifting ba'last is 

 still permitted on the open boats, of which there are 50 on the club 

 fist, but the crews are limited to one man for oft. length, the latter 

 being taken as the waterline plus % of overhang, the time allowanced 

 being estimated on the same basis. 



The 24 entries included 6 classes ; class C, sloops, cutters or yawls of 

 55ft. sailing length, or over; class 1, the same of 42ft. and under 55ft. ; 

 class 2, 30ft. and under 42ft,; class 3, under 30ft.; class 4, open jib and 

 mainsail boats of 23ft, or over; class 5, the same of under 23ft.; class 

 6, catboats of 23ft., or over: class 7, the same under 23ft. The prizes 

 were, classes C, 1 and 2. each, $75.00; class 3, $60.00; classes 4 and 5, 

 $50.00; classes 6 and 7, $35.00 each, besides the " Connor Cup " for 

 class C; value, $750.00, and the " Gould Cup," classes 1 and 2, value 

 $550.00. ' 



The courses were, for classes one and two, from off Pagoda Point, 

 Larchmont, to and around red buoy off Execution Reef", thence to 

 and around buoy off Matinnicock Point, to and around a stakeboat 

 off Captain's Island, around Execution buoy again to the starting 

 point, 22 miles. The smaller classes, after rounding Matinnicock, 

 going to the black buoy off Constable Point, and thence, home by 

 way of Execution Point, making 17 miles. 



The steamer Belle Horton came down from the city about 10 A. M. 

 with a large party of ladies and gentlemen on board, and after tak- 

 ing on another party at the Horseshoe, steamed over the starting 

 line, where the tug W. Goodwin with the judges, Messrs. W H. Jen- 

 kins, J. Lester Wallack and T. R. Fisher, and reporters, was lying.

 sailing about, but not in the race, while Comet, Columbia. Natalie, 

 Princess, Nokomis, and the little launch Sindbad were also on hand. 

 At 11 :21 A. M., the first signal was given by whistle and flag, as
