and made a plucky race, while Banneret’s mast broke shot't off about 
two-thirds above the deck. leavin 
Was first in at 2:36:6, then 
best times. 
The second and schooner classes sailed the following course: From 
starting point, leaving Black Buoys No. 5 and 3, Tom Moore’s Rock, 
Tinker’s (sland, Roaring Bull and Pig Rock stakes on starboard hand, 
stakeboat off Spindle Rock at entrance to Swampscott Harbor on port 
hand, stakeboat N. of Mee Rock on port hand, Pig Rock stalres, Roar- 
ing Bull, Tinker’s Island, Tom Moore's Rock, and Black Buoys Nos. 8 
and 4on port hand, to Judges* yacht, 1844 miles. Outside the whole 
way- As they hauled onthe wind off No, 5 for the dead beat to the Pigs 
they got it hot and hesyy, Raven’s bowsprit broke short off of Tom 
Moore's; and Thialfi got a couple of heavy knockdowns, Topsails 
came in all round, and the boats pounded away against a heavy sea, 
Bessie at one time taking a dive that left seaweed on her jib and fore- 
sail. From Pigs to the Spindle it was jam on the wind on port tack, 
then most of them just fetched the Hee Rock boat, though a few had 
ta make atack. Here spinnakers went up for the run home, some 
reefs were shaken out and topsails set, Thialfi came in with a good 
lead at 3:29:56. then Counters! 3:15:22, then Transit, Cricket, Gem 
Bessie, first schooner 3:24:13, Folly leading the centerboards 8:27 48 
and the rest. 
The first class had it a)] ontside, with a dead heat across the bay to 
the Grayes, then a free run home; Shadow won with ease at 4:25:11; 
Lillie was first keel at 4:35:83; Agi lost her topmast at the Graves. 
In addition to the accidents given above some half dozen other boats 
lost Tonmasts. 
Before the race Hisie protested against length of Flora Lee and Mir- 
age. Flora Lee was measured, found to be 16.10 in place of 16.7% and 
her allowance figured on thatlength. Mirage could not be picked out 
in the erowd, and is still to be measured. 
Flora Lee and Charlotte G. protest that Sassacus and Elsie cutinside 
Buoy 6, These protests have not yet been decided by the judges and 
may change winners in fifth class 
Black Olond protests that J. 5. Poyen, Jr., foreed her round while 
haying right of way,if Poyen isruled out, Bessie Hthel gets fourth 
prize. Joker protests against the length of Thisbe. 
The race, on the whole, was the most successful that has been sailed 
for some time. Wind tiue and strong, no finkes, nearly all the crack 
boats in, and the number of starters, though small for an open race, 
was the largest of the season, and the largest on vecord for a sweep- 
stakes. Summary as follows:

GOELET CUP RACE. 
Kiitor Forest und Stream: 
“Podgers’s Cruise Along Shore—iiT."* must indeed have been aloug+ 
shore or somewhere too far off to see accurately the movements of 
the yachts. He says that in the race for the Goelet cups, ‘‘notbing 
was proven in favor of entters..) “The day was such thatno test 
could be made, it wasanybody’s race; wLichéver happened to catch 
the breeze most favorably. The cutters were the most fortunate im 
their selection of tacks and kept together, standing to the southward, 
all the others kept to the northward. When the wind did come it 
came from the south and they were thus miles aud miles to wind- 
ward.”” To any one wno was there this statement will sound so 
absurd that there seems to be little use in setting ib right; but many 
of your readers will accept as final any report published in the Forrsr 
AND STREAM, and in the interest of facth and cutters,if you have the 
Space, permit me to state as briefly as possible wherein Mr, Podgers 
is mistaken, The three cutters did not stick together. Approaching 
the buoy off Bloek Island they were as widely separated as possible: 
Wenonah from the start to Block Island buoy, passed every single- 
sticker in her class on the same stretch with them and under same 
conditions barring Ileen, who started behind her, First the Bedouin, 
who tacked some time after to the eastward, the following then, sloops, 
she tackeil in (he wake of Gracie and Mischief, going through the lee of 
each, The wind did come from the south, and the sloops got it first, 
not miles and miles to leeward, After passing Gracie and establish- 
ing a long lead, Gracie tacked again to the southward, and afterward 
coming for the buoy on the samestreteb with Tleen who had held her 
tack to the southward from the time the wind shifted, crossed ahead 
of Wenouah and rounded next after Neen; but this victory, the result 
of finding a strouger breeze while Wenouah and Mischief were lying 
with very little, between this wind and Bedouin's from the eastward, 
was Of short duration, for Wenonah again passed Gracie before the 
Wind, and the result at the finish was Bedouin, Teen, Wenonah, the 
three cutters. You will observe that I have incidentally contradicted 
every assertion of Podgers in his paragraph relating to the cutters, 
Lhaye no desire to rel into a newspaper controversy as to facts, but 
will refer Mr. Podgers to Mr. Busk and Mr. Barle as to whether his 
statement or miné igs most accurate, and trust that his next account 
of a yacht race will be from 2 more desirable point of yiew than 
“along shore.” CUTTER, 
THE CRUISER IN EASTERN WATERS, 
HE well-known little sandbareer Cruiser, of the Larchmont, Sea- 
wanhaka and Beverly Yacht Chibs, came round to Boston re- 
eeutly to saila series of matches, which had been previously ar- 
ranged, 
Hartly in July she challenged Rebie, Spider, Hornet, Hoiden, Sea- 
bird, Queen Mab, Black Cloud, Viva, Thishe, Amy and J. S$. Poyen, Jr. 
Rebie and Poyen did not answer, Spider and black Cloud declined, 
Amy was so lone in making terms that all the tintle wastaxen up be- 
fore anything definite was arrived at, and the race was given up. The 
others accepted the challenge, Queen Mab stipulating for shifting 
ballast, the challenge being New England Yacht Racing Association 
rules. Working sail and stationary ballast, 
Gruiser made her first appearance Saturday, Aug. 16, in the Hull Y. 
G. open race, wind very light from the east, and water like glass. She 
was manned by her owner, Mr. A. B. Alley, Messrs. W. T, Alley, 
Fisher and Scott of her regular crew, and 24 loeal pilot, picked up that 
morning after the best men were taken up by local boats. 
The result was that Black Uloud beat her oné minute, she took sec- 
ond prize, beating Thi-be, Queen Mab and many others. 
Aug. 16, in the morning, her first match came off ai City Point with 
the Viya, Mr. H. T. Hutchings, 8. B. Y. C., a boat alittle smaller than 
Cruiser, which is 20.6 water-line and over all, 9.9 beam, and 16in. 
crate. 
There was a very light S.W. breeze, and the water like a millpond; 
jist Cruiser’s play. Course: From starting lme between Thompson’s 
island and Fort Independence; leaving Cow Pasture Buoy on port, 
round Buoy No. 6 on Lower Middle, and back to start, 514 miles, 
Cruiser was manned by Messrs. A. B, and W. 35. Alley, Fisher, T. H. 
Cabot, of the Peri, and Arthur Dean, one of the best professionals 
round City Point. 
Viva started first at 10:41:20, Cruiser 25 seconds behind; but Cruiser 
soon passed her, and at the end of the beat rounded Cow Pasture at 
11415; Viva, 11:17:15. Off the wind Cruiser gained stendily, and 
rounded Buoy 6 at 12:01:15; Viva, 12:05:10. From Buoy 6 home it was 
a drift, Cruiser crossing at 12:42:46; Viva, 12:48°33. 
Tn the afternoon she sailed her second match with the Thisbe, 8. A. 
Freeman, 8. B. ¥. C., 20:5 water line, 23,6 overall. 8.5 beam, 2:4 draft, 
Wind better than the morning, but still light; course from starting 
point round Cow Pasture, No. 6, starting point, No. & and home to 
starting point 614 miles, Cruiser’s crew was the same as in fhe morn- 
ing. Thisbe is notoriously a heavy weather boat. Start: Cruiser, 
9:56:48; Thishe, 2:57:30, being handicapped 30 seconds. To windward 
Oruiser gained steadily, not pointing up with Thisbe, but going faster, 
and rounded Cow Pasture a6 3:25:10, Thisbe, 8:26:25, To No.6 it was 
dead before the wind, the skimming dish still gaining, gomg round at 
3:57:30, Thisbe, 8:59:35, Back to windward to starting point she kept 
up the same game, going round at 4:15, Thisbe 4:18, and turned No, 
6 aguin 4:32:22; Thisbe 4:35:52. Here it breezed up a trifle, and Thisbe 
did better, the finish was Cruiser 4:47:49, Thisbe 4:51; actual time, 
Gruiser, 1:51:1; Thisbe 1:59:00; corrected time, Cruiser, 1:51;1; Thisbe 
1:54:29. + 
Both matches were sailed cat-rig, stationary ballast, mainsail only, 
WN. HB. ¥.R. A-rules, The judges for both were—for Cruiser, Mr. W, 
‘A. Jeffries; for Viva and Thisbe, Mr. P.M. Bond, Referee, Mr. J. P. 
Phinney.. Tuesday Cruiser sailed down to Marblehead in a dense 
og. 
Wednesday morning was fixed for the match with Hornet, but the 
fog rendered it impossible. Wednesday afternoon the fog cleared off 
and thé catboat Hoiden, Mr, P. C. Severance, B, Y. C., 19.9ft. water- 
line, 28ft. over all, 9.10ft. beam, was ready at theline, Course: 
Starting off H. Y, C. house, leaving black buoys 38 and 5 on port, 7 on 
starboard, Avrcher’s Kock on starboard, back round 7 and Archer’s 
Rock aud home; 8 miles. Terms, same as on 16th, Criiser was 
manned by the Messrs. Alley, Fisher, Cabot and W. Lloyd Jeffries, 
Wind very light S.B., and the race a toregone conclusion, as Hoiden 
is fast ina breeze, bul of nouseinacalm. . 
Hoiden got off at 3:24:15; Cruiser, 3:24:38. The wind was free to No. 
3, and Cruiser soon took the lead, increasing it rapidly, till at No. 7 
she was a long way ahead. , 
It was a dead beat to Archers Rock, and at Buoy 3 Cruiser had to 
fight her way through a calm streak, she succeeded, and getting & 
light air beyond, worked out to Archer‘s, and then started back to No. 
?. Hoiden could not get through the calm, she drifted up the harbor 
for some time, and was passed by Cruiser at No. 3.as she ran back. 
When Cruiser was at No. 3 for second time Hoiden had only reached 
No. 5, and gave up therace, going home to Marblehead, as ib was 
evident Cruiser would be at Archer's ahead of her. Cruiser kept on 
and after a tiresome drift finished at6:29:7. Judges, John Bryant, 
W. A, Jeffries. , j a a 
Thursday morning early the match with Hornet was sailed ma 
very hard S.W. wind. Course, around Half Way rock and return, 
614 miles, terms sanie as for Hoiden, sea quite rough outside. Messrs. 
Alley had aboard Mr, Fisher, Mr. 8. W. Burgessand Mr. Shaw. _ 
Hornet is 18.11 waterline, 19.1 over all, 8.5 beam, 19in, draft, andis a 
light weather boat belougmg to Mr, H.L. Harding, Beyerly Y. C, 
Hornet started 7:56, Cruiser 7:56:59, both boats carrying full sail be- 
fore the wind, and Hornet holding her own, Cruiser’s crew being 
posted on niain sheet outrigger, and the hoat seeming to be buried. 
At-lhe Rock Oruiser tool in uwo reefs, and here Hornet made her first 
mistake, Sbe took in three reet's, and finding this too much, shook 
them all out half way home. This was as bad the other way, and she 
had to keep her sail shaking all the time, while Cruiser hada good 
full on. ; 
Cruise came home at 9:29:05, Hornet 9:41:50; corrected time, 
CGruisér 1:82:06, Hornet 1:44:17, Judge, W. Lloyd Jetiries. Had Hoi- 
den had this breeze the result might have been diiterent. : 
The match with the Quéen Mab. Messrs. Burwell and Litchfield, 
Hull Y, C., were appointed for this moming. Queen Mab is 21.6 water- 
line, 24.8 over all, beam 10.38, draft2. The owners had previously 
drawn up and signed an agreement in the following terms; ‘Shifting 
ballast, mainsail only, New Hugland Yacht Racing Association rules, 
race to be to windward and back, 7 10 9 miles inside Beverly or Mar- 
blehead Harbor, to be started as near 11 A. M. as possible. Hach boat 
tonamea judge and they to name areferes.”” Queen Mab named 
Mr. M. J. Kiley as judge, Cruiser, Ma. W. Lloyd Jeffries; Dr. Jobhn 
Bryant of the Shadow was chosen referee. , 
Cruiger’s judge was on hand early, Queen Mab’s arrived from town 
at 10:80, and the judges immediately agreed on a course conforming 
to the agreement; but Queen Mab’s owner claimed that the judges 
should not select thé course, that that was the business of the owuers, 
and the agreement sa sine nothing about this, the owners tried to 
agree on a course and Failed. , : 
eur. Alley said he would sail any course that complied with the re- 
quirement, aud no other. Mr, Burwell proposed at fist to go twice 
round Half-Way and return. This was 12}4 milés, entirely outside the 
harbor, and not to windward and back, as wind had shifted to west- 
ward. Finally he abandoned this, aud said he would sail from 
Abbott’s Rock, round Gaje’s Ledge and return, and no other course, 
This was over nine miles, and would take the boats outside of the 
harbor. The owners were now at a deadlock, time fiying and the 
wind dying out, The judges tried to have inleft to the referee, but 
Queen Mab would not budge, and finally Mi. Alley gaye way and 
agreed to sail their course, 
= < - 
A start was at once made for Abbott's Rock, but when it was 
reached, about 12 M., the wind had gone, leaving a4 light air only, and 
| Queen Mab chose to forfeit the race, It is tmfortunate the race was 
not sailed; the Queen is the best catboat matched with Cruiser, and + 
would probably have wou had she started, as a brisk breeve soon 
sprang up from 8.W., whichwould have enabled them to male the 
for her race with sloop Sea

beaten by Thisbe, Joker. Pet and Comus, as appears elsewhere, She 
was manned by Messrs, Alley, one Bosten amateur, and a lougshore-

WRECK OF THE OLKAZE.—This yacht was wrecked on Aug. 22, 
as described below in the Halifax mornmg Chi'onicle. She was built 
in 1880 at Port Medway, N. §., and was of 9.28 tons néw measurement. 
Her dimensions were, waterlme 3zft. 3in., deck #4ft. 3in., beam 10Ef. 
6in., draft 5ft. She was enrolled in the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht 
Squadron. The Chronicle says: The yacht Oi Kaze,so well known 
in and about Halifax Harbor, was auctioned over a weekago to Mr. 
Geo. E. Francklyn for parties in Cape Breton, and was being sent to 
her new owners when she was wrecked. The thiilling experience of 
the crew was related to a Chronicle reporter by Capt. John MeDan- 
jel, cf this city, who had charge of the yacht, yesterday morning: 
“With John Sullivan to assist me in navigating her, the yacht Oi-Kaze 
left Balifax ati1 A. M.on Friday last for St. Peter’s canal with a 
westerly wind. At8 P.M. Friday Beaver Island bore north four to 
five miles. steering E.S.E. Contmued that course next four hours, 
and at 12:30 A. M, it was calm with a heayy southerly sea till 6:20 A, 
M. At this time we heard surf on the beach. There was a light air 
from the westward and we reached off shore, heading south by east, 
but made breakers right aboard and hadn't time to wear or stay. 
The yacht went right on therocks and filled inten minutes. We 
managed to stick by the wreck till the tide fell and then made for 4 
higher point of the rocks. We had to swim three gullies and fivally 
got on barren rocks, which at high tide were only three or four feet 
out of water, There we had to stay till Monday morning, 45 hours, 
without clothes (we were in ourshi't sleeves and without boots), and 
without food or water. It was raining off and on and the salt spray 
was dashing over us so that we suffered much, Sunday tf was t iek 
and heayy, and there was not much chance to be seen or rescued. 
We-could not have held out much longer, but Monday morning the 
Wind came off the land and the weather cleared, when a sail hove in 
sight, coming out of Pishermen’s Harbor. It proved to be the diving 
schooner Nimble, Captain Slone, who noticed our signals and sent a 
boat and took us off. It was very fortunate that it happened to be a 
diving schooner, with a crowd of men on board and boats able to 
rescue us, as an ordinary trading schooner would not have been able 
to getatus. The hadto backin their boat between two ledges and 
throw us hnes and haul us out through the surf. The ledge we were 
on was the Middle ledge, off Country Harbor, aboutfour miles distant ~ 
from the mainland. The yacht went completely to pieces Sunday 
night, and when we left oy a piece of her side was visible. On the 
Nimble we were treated with the greatest of kindness, supplied with 
clothing, ete., and must speak in the highest terms of our gallant 
rescue and cordial treatment by Capt Stone and his crew who brouzht 
us back to Halifax, arriving here Tuesday afternoon.” The yacht 
was insured in a Halifax office for $600. 
A WHITEHALL BOAT RACH.—The South Street Boat Club sailed 
its regatta ou a sea of troubles yesterday. Those who had advertised 
the race to begin ab1 o'clock had forgotten to consult the almanac, 
and as the tide would not accommodate itself to the exigencies of the 
case ib was foundnecessary toalterthe programme. The boats there- 
fore started at 12:15, amid the enthusiastic plaudits of four men, two 
small boys and a Skye terrier. The gallant craft were 16f. Whitehall 
working boats, and the course lay from Pier No. 28, under the Bridge, 
around Robin’s Reet Lighthouse, on the south shore of Staten Island, 
and back. All that the craft lacked im individual dignity they made 
up inthe pleasing sound of their names, There were the Light of 
Other Days, the Charles Stewart Parnell, the Far Down and the Nellie 
Mahoney. ‘“Durn them ferryboats,”’ said the commodore of the fleet. 
‘Has 6very blessed ferryboat on the river aot torun right athwart 
our course? Blarst my maintop scuppers if there ain*t a conspiracy 
to run us down! Huard-a-port there!’ A posse ferryboat threw the 
gallant Commodore on his beam ends, ‘'Busted my lee halyards and 
sprung my mizzen sheet,” said the ofticer, as he fastened hig left sus- 
pender with a vail and tucked in his stray linen. Bluding the dread- 
ful ferryboats, the feet passed Wovernor’s Island. the Light of Other 
Days having the lead, Off the south shore of Staten Island it lost 
sight of the others. All at once the tarry Commodore was observed 
to turn very pale, ‘*Let’s lie in here under the Jee of the island,” he 
said, ‘‘till the others go by, then we can run hame and get the prize. 
See?” Tis minion saw, and as théy approached the land the Com- 
modore’s pallor disappeared. The Light of Other Days returned to 
the dock at 3:17 P. M. and got the prize money, 41 minutes later the 
Pointer putin an appearance, and soon afterward the others came 
along. All except the Light of Other Days reported that they could 
not round the lizhthouse on account of the tide. “You chet to have 
geen me reund it,’ said the Commodore, proudly... Y. Herald. 
BUFFALO ¥. 0,—Like other lake ports Buffalo has of late taken a 
more active interest in yachting, though the fleet of the Buffalo Y, C. 
is but small as yet, numbering 6 vessels, Alarm and Mermaid, 
schooners; Curlew, Lily R., Arrow. sloops, and Adele, yawl. The 
Petrel was lost some time since, and the Scud has been sold to Toledo 
owners, but the former owners of both yachts will replace them this 
season, The membership is now nearly 100, and the club owns a con- 
venient and handsome house situated on the Breakwater. Buifalo is 
well situated as far'as water is concerned for yachting, and with the 
Jake at her doors, has not the excuse that may be urged for some 
localities far adhering to the model of the departed cae With a fleet 
of deep, safe and wholesome boats, no matter how small, and a proper 
spirit of enterprise among her yachtsmen, uhere is a prominent place 
open for her in the yachting records of the lakes. If her youn 
yachtsmen will drop forever the talsé and misleading standard o 
Jength, with the model of boat which must accompany it, and lool 
for their pleasure in boats of good design and safe construction, that 
they can hand¥é themselves, they will lay a firm foundation for 2 
flest of larger vessels inthe future with a host of amateur tars to 
command and man them.
