some force, and the work for first place being very pretty. Guenn 
took the lead, but near the mark Dot overhauled and passed her, and 
was soon off on the long run to Buoy 18, with the last of the flood 
under her in mid channel and a good breeze for a small boat. Guenn 
came second, then Freak and Psyche, Siren haying come to grief, 
her lugs, borrowed for the occasion, proving too much for her. At 
Buoy 17, Dot still led, turning at 4:38:15, Guenn being second at 4:44:03. 
After hauling on the wind, Guenn attempted to reef, but the gear giv- 
ing way, was unable to do so, and as she could not carry full sail to 
windward, she made for home, close by, Freak and Psyche rounded 
soon after, and all came down with the tide, now a strong ebb, the 
wind being dead ahead. Dot finished first at 5:22:33. Psyche’s per- 
formance, with new sails, more ballast, and mast stepped in the bows, 
astonished all, and although one of the oldest boats in the club, she 
promises to roll up a racing record equalto her cruising one. She 
was formerly rigged with a jib, the masts being well inboard, buthas 
Sailed with baiance Ings for several seasons with the masts in the 
samé positions. This season, her mainmast has been shifted a foot 
ee forward, greatly improving her sailing. The full times were 
as follows:

CRUISE OF THE YONKERS Y. C. 
A N event which many members of the Yonkers Y. C. are pleas- 
antly anticipating is a cruise up the river to Albany. The yachts 
will spread their white wings early on the morning of Monday, Aug. 
18, and sail away for Peekskill, where they will remain over night. 
he State Camp will be visited, and on the following morning the 
Wilcet will weigh anchor and continue the cruise to Newburgh, where 
phat night will be spent. Here the fleet will be illuminated with Chi- 
i3 oe lanterns and brilliant lights, and a display of fireworks will be 
made. 
_ On Wednesday morning sail will be made for Rondout. For want 
of a good anchorage no stop will be made at Poughkeepsie, and the 
inhabitants of the *‘Queen City” will have to be satisfied with seeing 
the yachts skim by. On Thursday the prows will be pointed for Hud- 
son, which, wind and water favoring, will be reached early in the 
day.

XY. 
‘this point the fleet will be met and welcomed by the Albany 
-, and escorted to that city. Atthe capital city the yachtsmen 
ll be entertained by the Albany club, and in all probability races 
will be arranged to give eclat to the occasion. — 
‘The yachts which will participate in the cruise will be the Inez, fly- 
ing Commodore Prime’s pennant; Newton P, Quick’s Racket, A. W. 
rrell’s Glance, W. H. McVicar’s Spray, J. Howard Clapp’s Ella C.,

SAIL PLAN OF YAWL “WINDWARD.” 
ay 36 
We publish this week the sail plan of the yawl Windward, the lines of which were given in ForEsT AND STREAM of Feb. 7, 1884, The interior plans and description will appear next week. 
Thorno’s Rambler, John Dixon’s Little Spray, and J. W. Goodale’s 
Cutty Sark. 
Invitations to take part in the cruise have been extended to the Col- 
umbia, New Jersey, Harlem, Jersey City and Knickerbocker clubs, and 
the fleet will be augmented by representatives of those organizations. 
Some of the invitations have already been accepted and the owners of 
the steam yacht Elsie V. and the Clarita, of the Columbia Club, have 
sent word to count them in. 
The indications are that the fleet will be a large one, and that the 
cruise will be in every way a success. The sight of a score of yachts 
bounding along together through the white caps, or idly moving with 
the tide, is a novel one up the river, and the yachtsmen will be the 
sea lions for the time being. 
At Albany the fleet will disband, and the sun-browned sailors will 
return home as best suits their convenience or pleasure.— Yonkers 
Statesman, July 29.
