came in first, her sail reefed by rolling it up inside the boom by anew 
device, and finished at 4:02:45, while Columbia tacked across and came 
down back of Ellis’s Island at 4:19:39. The elapsed times were 4:28:39 
and 4:45:51, the'corrected 4:22:20 and 4:38:21. Hermes wins the purse 
of $100. The judges were Messrs. M. R. Schuyler, Hx-Commodore W. 
L, Dilworth, and John M. Sawyer. These same boats, with one or 
two more, will meet in the N. J. Y, C. races of Oct, 4, 
NEW JERSEY Y. C. OPEN REGATTA. 
NVITATIONS have been sent by the New Jersey Y. C. to all the 
yachtsmen in the vicinity of New York, to join their open regatta 
on Oct, 2. Prizes will be given for four classes: 
A. Catamarans 30ft. and over, prize $30, entrance $5. 
B. Yachts 26ft. and over, prize $30, entrance $5 
C. Yachts 21ft. and under 26ft..piize $25, entrance $3. 
D. Yachts under 2ift., prize $15, entrance $2 
The entries close on Sept, 80. They can be made to E. 8. Barkelew, 
Box 880, or 25 Park Place, N. Y. 
Instead of the old start near the club house, the yachts will rendez- 
vous off Be !loe’s Island, and start from a line between the island dock 
and a stakeboat, avoiding the many ferry boats ot the North River. 
and the fleet of coasters usually anchored off Com munipaw. From 
here the catamarans will go around Buoy 84 on Southwest Spit. 
Classes B and © will round Buoy 13 off Hoffman Tgland, and class D 
round Fort Lafayette. 
The length will be taken as waterline plus 14 overhang, witha time 
allowance of 1 min. per foot in Glass A, 2 min. in classes B and C, and 
igimelassD, All ballast must be kept stationary during the race, 
and erews will be limited to one man for each five feet or fraction 
thereof. Catamarans may carry only mainsail and jibs; cutters, jib, 
mainsail, staysail and working topsail; sloops, under B80ft., jib and 
mainsail only, and catboats mainsail only. 
The New Jersey Y. C.is doing a good work in the promotion of 
small yacht racing, and their efforts deserve the hearty support of 
New York yachtsmen. This coming race gives an opportunity to ail 
to enter, and it rests with owners to make it a success, ‘Che expense 
of araceis small, With limited crews there should be no such diffi- 
culty in manning the boats as happens when fifteen to twenty men 
are required for each boat, and it is surely more creditable to yachts- 
men to saila good race and be beaten than to stay out for fear of a 
beating. There are a number of boats about New York which are 
éligible for these races, and we look to see a fine fleet off Bedloe’s 
Tsland on the 2d. 
KNICKERBOCKER Y. C. REGATTA, SEPT. 19. 
Greene preparations were visible at Port Morris on last Friday 
morning, every one being busy preparing for the fall regatta in 
which all the boats of the club were entered. The 86 entries, how- 
ever, dwindled down to 20 odd starters, and the labors of the Regatta 
Committee, who had made all arrangements for a successful turnout, 
were in vain, as there was atno time durmg the day a good sailing 
breeze, and at last the wind fell entirely and the race was abandoned. 
The course for all but the Eighth Class was around tne Gangway 
Buoy and return, the Kighth Class turning the Fort Schuyler Buoy. 
The start was very pretty in spite sf the light wind, the open boats 
ofthe Third Class taking the lead. The cutter Surf kept well up. 
leading her class at Fort Schuyler Buoy. and surprising some who 
thought she would require a gale of wind to move her. ‘The Aria, in 
the Secend Class, looked yery handsome with her big topsail and 
loose-footed Lapthorne sails, and the Culprit Fay, Mr. Mathews’ new 
boat, looked ready for work, but with all kites spread there was not 
Wind enough toaid her, Last of all came the saucy-looking Sairy 
Gamp, & 14ft, open rowboat rigged for cruising, with two balance 
lugs, but in spite of her small size she kept her place and held on to 
the fieet nobly, 
The drift down was almost devoid of interest, the water was ruffled 
in patches by a light breeze while other spots were smooth and 
shining in the sun, so that one boat would be making some headway 
while another near by would be motionless. At one time two of the 
leaders were side by side heading in the same direction, one free and 
the other close hauled. 
After nearly four hours tedious drifting 
the Gangway Buoy was 
ounded by the Gracie, Lizzie R. and Nellie 
R., the others being far 
astern, and it was seen that no race could be made in six hours, so 
the judges’ steamer, Chrystal Stream, took thé leaders in tow and 
started for home, picking up the others as they were overtaken until 
fifteen were in tow, 
_The tangle that ensued on each halt of the steamer afforded con- 
siderable amusement to the spectators but less to the crews, as 
hawsers were fouled, bowsprits poked into cabin windows, bocms 
threatening neighboring sails amid a Babel of pointed remarks. In 
Spite of the tow twice breaking adrift, no mishap occurred, and the 
fleet reached their moorings in safety at dark, The race will be re- 
sailed at an early date. 
YACHT RACE ON THE MANATEE RIVER. 
SWEEPSTAKES race, $50 a side, was sailed on Aug, 26, open to 
all yachts under 80ft. length, on the west coast of Florida. The 
challenge was issued by the yachts Tempest, of Tampa, and Nellie 
Pyfrom, of Cedar Keys, The course was from Braidentown whari, 
on the Manatee River to the buoy in the Northwest channel, near 
Egmont, and return, 30 miles in all, ‘he first prize was two thirds of 
the entrance money. Harly on the morning of the 26th, four boats 
were ready at Palmasola, and at 8 A. M, they staried to beat up to 
Braidentown, four miles above, in avery light breeze. Ati P. M. a 
breeze from the westward sprang up, and the yachts were started. 
The entries were: Nellie Pyfrom 25ft., of Cedar Keys; Tempest 26ft. 
Gin., of Tampa; Maude 19ft. 6in., of Palmetto,and Mischief 25ft., of 
Palmasola. Tempest was first off at 1213:11, Nellie at 1:15, Mischief 
1;15:10, Maude 1:16. The Tempest led in the beat down the river to 
its mouth, where Mischief came up and passed Sneed’s Point buoy 
first, but Tempest soon regained her lead, the other two being now 
astern, From Bgmont wharf to the buoy Mischief was ahead again, 
rounding at 4:68, Tempest 5:1, Maude’s time not being taken and 
Nellie Pyfrom withdrawing from the race, The fifteen miles home 
was dead before the wind, and Tempest was soon away with big bal- 
loon jib drawing, while Mischief, though still ahead, was longer in 
setting her kites. Off the mouth of the river the wind was lighter, 
but Tempest was now ahead, and kept her position to the finish, 
which was at 7:28, with Mischief 7:29:10 and Maude 7:28. 
The allowance was based on length of keel, and was against Tem- 
pest, the largest boat, as she had to allow time to the smaller ones. 
PACIFIC COAST YACHTING NOTES,.—At the annual meeting of 
the Pacifie Y. C, the following Board of Directors was elected: Stew- 
art Menzies, J. V. Coleman, C. O’Connor, W. H. Martensteis, Philip 
Cadue, J, Mervyne Donahue, O. F, Willey. Regatta, Committee -C. 
O’Connor, Geo, Fritch, J. C. Kelley, §, A. Eldvidge, Philip MeGovern. 
The prizes won at the recent 8. F. ¥. C, regatta were presented at the 
club house at Sancelito on Saturday afternoon, A number of yachts 
were moored off the club house, and some forty or fifty yachtsmen 
were present. Mr, C. W. Kellogg, of the regatta committee, on behalf 
of the club, read the committee’s report and presented the prizes. 
The gentlenien who received the prizes responded with appropriate 
remarks, in which they wished success and prosperity to the club, 
and congratulated it on the result of the season's yachting. The 
winner of the first prize and flag of 1884 provided the champagne 
with which success was drank, and general good feeling prevailed. — 
San Francisco Morning Call, Sept. 8. 
OPEN BOATS AT OAK POINT,—In the race from Oak Point 
around the Gangway Buoy on the 2ist between the Hoodoo, of New 
Jersey, and Daisy, of Harlem, the former won by 12m. 44s. A race 
has been arranged between the Gracie and Nettie Thorp 10 miles to 
windward and return, for $250 a side, to take place on Oct. 18. Start- 
ing and booming out ballast is forbidden, and jib and storm jib may 
not be carried at the same time. The time allowance is two minutes 
per foot. The start will be made from Oak Point, Capt. Munsers sail- 
ing the Gracie and Capt. Morrill the Thorp. 
YACHTING ON OAPE COD BAY.—The annual regatta of the 
Provincetown Y, C. was sailed in the harbor on Sept. 16. The yachts 
started at 6:30 o'clock and sailed over a triangular course of 12, miles. A 
fine breeze from the northeast was blowing at the start, but gradu- 
ally moderated. In the first class the Kolus was the winuer, her cor- 
rected time being 1h. 34m, 48s. In the second class. the Minnie won 
in 2h. 9m. 47s. 
NORAH AND ATALANTA,—The Atalanta not haying accepted Mr. 
Bell’s challenge, the Fisher trophy goes to the Norah by default. 
BREAKING UP a MONITOR.—The once famous monitor, Roa- 
noke, built at an enormous expense by the Government, but which 
for a number of years was tied up ata Chester shipyard, is being 
slowly but surely torn asunder at Marcus Hook, Pa., on the Delaware 
River, below Philadelphia. The vessel was sold in November last, at 
a sale of abandoned war vessels, and was purchased by i. Stanard, 
of Westbrook, Conn., for $40,000. Warly in the following month a 
fang of workmen were put on the vessel, and in a short time the 
brass, copper and the most valuable portions of the machin+¢ry were 
removed and sold, realizing, as is alleged, sufficient money to pay for 
the whole vessel and to defray the expense of the removal of the 
iron plates and the heavier and less valuable portions of the vast 
engines and gearing. In April last the craft was towed to the Goy- 
ernment ice piers at Marcus Hook, where the work has since been in 
progress. Large derricks are placed on the deck, by which the huge 
plates are lifted from their positions, after the bolts haye been re- 
moved, by means of machinery driven by an engine. The old boilers 
and portions of the engine still remain im the hold, but the turrets 
and smoke stack have been removed, and but little more remains to 
be done. _ Tt is proposed to tow the hulk to a point in the vicmity of 
New York, where it will be beached and burned to get out the iron. 
The work is being done by a force of twelye Italians, under the super- 
OSS of a Yankee foreman, the men being fed and lodged on board, 
ron Age. 
_A GOOD SEASON'S WORK.—We copy the following from the 
North British Mail, Ulerin is a new boat this year, but her record 1s 
unusually good: ‘Mr. Hamilton’s famous little cutter finished her 
racing career. for 1884 at Dartmouth on Friday, leaving for South- 
ampton (where she lays up) on Saturday last, flying 27 racing flags. 
Of these, 24 were for first prizes and 3 for seconds. and this result out 
of 29 starts is very remarkable work, equalling, if it does not exceed, 
the phenomena! performances of Florence and Madge in their first 
years, or of Annasona in hersecond. Ulerin only began her racing 
career at Liverpool, missing the first ten or a dozen matches in the 
south, else her record might have been stillmoreremarkable. Ulerin 
was sailed throughout the season by Captain John Barr, of Gourock, 
who made the faine of Quiraing, Neptune and May, and to his skillful 
handling Ulerin’s success is in no small measure due.” 
ACCIDENT TO A STEAM YACHT.—The Fra Diayolo, with a party 
of guests on board, ran on the rocks on Friday night last, while run- 
ning down the Sound. Her hull was stove in and propeller badly 
damaged. Some of her passengers reached shore in the yawl boat, 
but two remained om board all night. The following morning she was 
towed down to New York, leaking but able to float. 
PERSONAL.—Mr. C. P. Kunhardt, well-known to our readers, has 
been fortunate in his mining enterprises in Colorado, we learn, and 
will return Hast before the year has been brought to a close, no doubt 
to take part again in yachting affairs and to have a hand io the fight 
for cutters and real yachting, of which he has been the recognized 
exponent in America, 
ACCIDENT TO TWO YACHT SATLORS.—While three of the crew 
of vhe cutter Wenonah were taking out an anchor, the yaw] in which 
they were capsized. One of them clung to the buat and was réscued 
by Captain Harlow, who swam ashore and procured a rowboat, in 
which he went to their assistance, but two of them were drowned. 
RARITAN Y. C.—A sweepstakes regatta will take place over the 
club course at Perth Amboy, on Saturday, Sept. 27, starting at 1 P M. 
The boats will sail in four classes—eabin sloops, open boats over 25ft,, 
open boats under 24ft., catboats. Entrance tee, $3. Entries will be 
received up to 11 A, M. on the day of the race. 
CAPSIZE OF A SANDBAGGER.—-After a good deal of talk and 
trouble, the open sailboat race off Newport, resulted in the capsize of 
the New York boat, Susie S., the Annie of Mystic, the ooly other 
competitor, wining. Susie S. was towedinto New London, 
ACCIDENT TO THE JLEEN.—As the cutter was coming out 
of Newport last week, the rim to which the lower end of forestay 
is made fast parted, and the mast went over the side. She was towed 
to Fall River, where she will lay up for the season, 
NEWARK Y. C. PENNANT RACE,—A race for the club pennant 
will take place on Newark Bay, Sept. 29. between the Cloud, a new 
catboat, which will be sloop-rigged for the occasion, and the Ram- 
bler, which now holds the pennant,
