tment of the day. The great increase of the number of yachts within 
6 last three years if an evidence of how rapidly it is growing in 
wor. Vachi property formerly was considered strictly a fancy in 
yestment trom which no man ever expected to realize one-third of 
the cost, but it is quite a different affair now, as any one willfind who 
sets out to buy oné cheap. Of course, there are always yachts for 
sale at much less than cost, but on examination they will be found 
‘Guill sailers or old or needing expensive repairs to make them safe. 
The enormous spars and big sails carried on all yachts in these days 
soon tears them to pices or strains them. The yacht fleet collected 
at Newport on this occasion is greater in number and exhibits a lar- 
per proportion of expensive yachts than on any other “within the 
memory of the oldest.” " 
itis an interesting studyto note the variety of model and build, as 
exhibited inthe collection. Any man with a practical eye can easily 
distinguish the Hastem model and style, and more especially Boston, 
from those of New York build and its adjacent ship yards. Roston 
seems considerably afflicted with the cutter craze, but in mamy in- 
staices 4 compromise is apparent, particularly in the case of sloops, 
many beige déép cehterboards or keel boats with cutter stems, but 
with good beam and rather abrupt sterns. This class of boat seems 
to be growing in favor, having all the merit claimed for the cutter in 
the way of depth and cabin head room, with beam and deck surface, 
aswell as a coclepit, which is an indispensable adjunct to comfort in any 
small eraft. Im the matter of satety they are quite equal to the 
cutter, and in comfort so evidently supetior that the wonder is any 
one can hesitate to decide upon a sélection of this type of boat. The 
assertion that they are slowis not borie out by facts. Take the 
Athlon for instance, which is an illustration of fhe deep and wide. 
phe is a fast boat as well as 4 staunch craft, that can go where the 
best of them can. Because a boat is not a cutter it does not follow 
that she is a skimming dish by any means. 
Tn the face just referred to nothing was proven in fayor of cutters, 
aithough they were the winners in the sloop class. The day was such 
that no test could be made, it was anybody's race; whichever hap- 
pened to cateh the breeze most fayorably. The cutters were the most 
fortunate in their selection of tacks, all there were of the same mind 
appareutly, and kept together, standing to the southward; all the 
others stood on the opposite tack to the northward. When the wind 
did come it came from the south, and they were thus miles and miles 
to windward: and it was perfectly evident that there was no slow for 
any of the other craft, It was a cutters’ day, the wind being very 
light, and so little of it that they were able to stand nearly upright, 
their natrow wedge-like bulls offering but little resistance and fric- 
tion apparently, It 1s bardly to be supposed such competitors as the 
Gracie and Mischief would throw up the sponge and turn their prows 
homeward in any race where they bad wind to sail, enough certainly 
to fill their sails and give steerage way, which at times they scareely 
lad. Wewill give the cutters all due praise, however, for being 
handled with good judgment and doing remarkably well. It may be 
admitted. too, that under certain circumstances, even if Gracie, Ath- 
lon and Mischief had stood on same tack, chances of winning were 
greatly in favor of the cutters; but as to winning at all times and 
under all cirenmstances, they can*tde it. Hach type hasits advan- 
tages and each its days. and neither can claim supremacy. 
The eontest may goon until erack of doom without being settled. 
Ibis perfect !y feasible to build a compromise boat combining the best 
pomts of cach type, and such will probably be the outcome of the 
mooted question. The racing cutter is an extreme type, the result of 
arbitrary rules of mnieasurement of the English clubs. The model is 
in conformity with the idea of dodging measurement and still get a 
great above-water area with small immersed section, but we accept 
the cutter as the result of long years of experiment on model, whereas 
itis simply a build to escape a rule of measurement. The present 
rage for everything English helps the matter considerably; we are 
copying Enelish in everything, even to the absurdities that we once 
ridiewled and made great sport of. The disvosition to copy the Eng- 
lish stern is eyident m the models of some of the large schooners, 
namely the Intrepid, Varuna, Fortuna, and to a somewhat lesser 
degree in Cary Soa1ith’s newest production, the Harbinger, a very 
pretty little schooner she is too, and just such a handy little craft as 
should be popular with yachtsmen who are competent to sail their 
own yachts and take a. hand in the work of sailmg her. Such a craft 
combines all the comfort under deck a reasonable yachtsman would 
ask, and the expense of sailing her is about one-half that of the larger 
and more unwieldy schooners; The Harbinger is a type of yacht that 
should become popular. The owner can be congratulated on having 
4 staunch, handy and very neat little craft under him, I want to say 
something more about other yachts in the fleet, but I willreserve fur- 
ther remarks for the next chapter. 
BAY OF OQUINTE Y. C. 
A Rae ninth annual regatta of the Bay of Quinte Y. C., which formed 
the third of the series under the auspices of the Lake Yacht 
Kacing Association, was held over the usual triangular course on 
Massassaga Bay ou Friday, the 8th inst. Prizes to the amount of 
450 were ofiered. namely: Wirst class—ist, $150: 2d, $75: 3d, $30; 
4th, 510. Second elass—tst, $100; 2d, $50; 2d, $25; 4th, $i0. As, how- 
ever, there were but four entries in each class, the fourth prizes were 
withheld. The entries were as follows: 
First class—Outters—Aileen, W. Goudenham, Tcronto; Verve, R. 
Cochrane, Toronto. Sloops—Norah, R. J. Bett, Belleville; Gen. Gar- 
field, Dr, Curtis, Kingston, 
Second class—Sloops—Surprise. Jas. Richardson, Trenton; Iolanthe, 
-W. &. Biggar, Belleville; Gracie, R. M. Roy, Belleville; Laura, T. 
Mek, Robertson, Kingston. 
Course, 8) miles for first, and 20 for second class. The first class 
yachts were not measured as it proved to be unnecessary. In the 
third class the measurements and allowances were: 4

The weather was yery fine—teo fine—the wind being light and 
shifty, the fiaws coming in streaks and from northeast and north- 
west, but generally from the former quarter. 
The first class race was almost totally devoid of interest, as the 
- Norah, whieh had the best of the luck, easily outsailed her competi- 
tors, and the Gartield got Into a calm streak and met with several 
mishaps which threw her far behind. The cutters had a lively race 
for second place, but the trim little Verve secured it on time allow- 
ance, The times were as noted:

When the second class yachts started there was rather a better 
breeze, and the light eraft went away very rapidly, their times in 
crossing the line bemg as under:

The Laura tried te eover the Tolanthe, but eould not sail fast 
enough to do so, as the leader drew away steadily from her nmme- 
diate follower, which in turn was closely followed ior a Jong time by 
the Gracie, but managed to shake her off when near the south buoy. 
_ The Surprise was outsailed by ail, but by standing to the windward of 
the course held by the others got an advantage which carried her up 
' close fo the Gracie. The first turn was made in the following order:

The race was now considered to be the Tolanthe’s, bar accident, as 
she began dropping the others rapidly after all had hauled on the 
Wind, Shestood onafter the big ones and overlook them, but got 
into 4 pocket between two of them, and so lost a good deal of valuable 
time, Meanwhile Cuthbert, who felt that without a luciy streak in 
| his fayor the Surprise was beaten, stood off ona long stretch to the 
eastward, and thus got a fine land breeze, which carried the Trenton 
hoatinto the second position, she turning the north buvy close at the 
heels of the folanthe. Ou the long way up the north shore the Iolan- 
the went away again, an) was actually second boat in the race on 
completing the first round, haying beaten the first class yachts, 
except the Norah, about twenty minutes in one hour and three-quar-

Tirst time around, was:

The Gracie, which had had bad luck and wasa considerable dis- 
tance behind, was not timed. On the way to the south buoy for the 
second time the boats which were behind had much the best of the 
luck, as the Surprise turned it only forty-five seconds behind the 
leader, and the Laura was scarcely three minutes later. Once moré 
in the windward work the lolanthe showed her powers by adding to 
her lead over the Surprise, but the Laura held her own and went by 
Cuthbert's charge before the northern mark was turned. It was 
sharp work on the final lee of the course, and the Iolanthe had a lead 
that would haye assured her, at the worst, second prize; but under 
_ O= Point the wind Jeft her for upward of a minute, her competitors 
meantime holding it, and when the next streak reached her it headed 
_ her off so much that it was found’ necessary to take in the jibfopsail. 
Altogether the champion of the second class must haye lost between 
one and two minutes at this critical time, At length the line was 
érossed, as tinder:

Mr. N. M. Gauldwell, a devoted yachtsman of the Quaker City Y. 
C., Philadelphia, thoroughly enjoyed the regatta from the Dauntless, 
Commodore Pitceathly, whose guest he was, together with a few 
other friends, 
In the evening the yisitors were entertained at the Dafoe House, 
where a very handsome spread was laid. . 
Vice-Commodore Roy will lengthen the Gracie’s bow and sive ber a 
sharper entrance, With this alteration her speed will, no doubt, be 
increased.

BUNKER HILL Y. C. ANNUAL MATCHES. 
HE Bunker Hill ¥Y. C. were unfortunate in their choice of Satur- 
day last for theit annual matches, ay many of the boats were 
entered in the races of the Hull Y. C., and there was but little wind 
for those that startea. The schooners were becaimed and unable ta 
reach the start in time for the race, and the first class for sloops did 
not fill, owing to lack of wind. The second class brought out four 
boats and the third thesame. The courses were, for second class, 
from the judges’ boat, leaving west head of Long Island to port, 
Rainstord’s, George's and Lovell’s islands to starboard, and Gallop’s 
Island and Nix’s Mate to port, Sound Point beacon to the starboard, 
Spectacle Island and Sculpin Ledge to port, to judges’ boat; and for 
third class, from judges’ boat, leaying Spectacle Island, huoy No. 7, 
Castle Rocks and Sculpin Ledge to the port, to the judges’ hoat, 
passing between it and the wharf. Time limit, five hours. ‘The start

HULL Y. GC. OPEN MATCHES. 
| Bipsaueset may wellbe proud of the fleet that turned out on Satur- 
day last to sail in the open matches of the Hull Y, C., a fleet that 
no other yachting port in America cau equal. Keels and centerboards, 
sloops, cutters and cats, 57 of them crossed the finishing line, therace 
from start to finish being without afoul. Therace was sailed nnder 
following conditions: The start for all classes was from anchor, 
Yaehts were allowed to carry oné man to every Sft, and fraction 
thereof, sailing length, The measurements were made on water line, 
with one-fifth overhang. Shifting ballast was not allowed, under 
penalty of being debarred from further entry ar participation in a 
Tace given by a chub affiliated with the New Hngland Yacht Racing 
Association. There were no restrictions in regard to sails. The club 
table of allowance was used, The limit of time in the first and second 
classes was five hours, and that of the third, fourth and fifth classes, 
four hours. Two or more yachts hadto compete in a class to insure 
one prize being given, three or more to insure tyo prizes, and four or 
more to insure three prizes. 
The yachts were divided into seven classes, as shown in the follow- 
ing table, the courses being: 
Second Class—From judges’ line to Black Brush Buoy No. 1, half a 
mile south, leaving it on the starboard, to yellow barrel marked H. 
¥. C., off Pettick’s Island, leaving it on the starboard, throuzh Hull 
Gut, leaving Toddy Rocks and Point Allerton buoys on starboard, to 
bell buoy on Harding’s Ledge, leaving it on port; returning, leaving 
Point Allerton and Toddy Rocks buoys on the port, through Hull Gut, 
ip audees sbeamer, passing between it and flagboat. Ten nautical 
es. 
Third and Fourth Classes—from judges’ line to West Gut, leaving 
barrel marked H. Y. G., off Pettick’s Island, on starboard, thence 
N.E. by N. 34 mile to black buoy on Wilson’s Rock, leaving it on the 
starboard, thence to striped buoy on Hunt’s Ledge, leaving it on the 
78 
starboard, then back to black buoy on Wilson’s Rock, leaving if on 
the port, through Hull Gut to the judges’ steamer, passing between ib 
and flagbeat., Nine nautical miles: 
Third Class—From judges’ line to steamboat barrel off Seal Rocks, 
leaving it ou the port, to yellow barre] marked H. Y. ©., off Straw- 
berry Hill, leaving it on starboard, to yellow barre! marked H. ¥.C., 
off §, E. end of Pettick’s Island, leavg it on starboard, to yellow 
barrel marked H, ¥. C., off Pettick’s Island, (Cleverly’s), leaving: it 
on starboard, passing between the judges’ steamer and flagboat. Hive 
nautical miles, . 
To start so many yachts together ts a matter of no small difficulty, 
but it was done successfully in this case by au anchor start, Thefleet 
was grouped close together, making a beautifnl sight as they swung 
bo their cubles, put as the sigral was given at 2 P. M., the pawls rate 
tled, blocks creaked, cables came in, and halliards set taut, and the 
fleet were soon under way without accident. The steamer W. H. 
Olark accompanied the race with the judges on board, while the Rose 
Standish carried a large mumber of guests. Near the finishing line 
the Transit had a very narrow escape from being run down by the 
steamer Twilight, which bore down on her at full speed as she was 
on the line, missing her by a few feeb, fhe steamer never slowing. 
ne New York boat Cruiser wasin the fourth class, taking third 
place,

Wy. NCOURAGED by the great success of their open regatta in 18838, 
in which they turned out the largest fleet of yachts ever gathered 
together in American waters, a fleet notable not only from its num- 
bers, but from the general high standard of excellence of the boats

them, and each manned by a crew of amateurs who kiow their busi- 
ness.
