 tween Miles Johnson, champion of New Jersey, and Jacob Hill, cham- 

 pion of Reading, for $200 a side, Long Island rules, 25yds. rise and 

 80yds. boundary. A large amount of money was wagered on the re- 

 sult. The shooting at the start was good, Johnson killing 13 straight 

 birds, while Hill missed one. Later on Johnson became nervous, 

 while Hill was cool. At the forty-sixth bird Hill, who had shot 41, 

 w as given the match, as Johnson had killed but 35 out of 45 birds and 

 could not tie Hill's score.

THE CUP RACERS. 



ON June 17 the new sloop Puritan was under way for the first time, 

 the wind being very light, aud on June 20 she was out for a 

 longer sail, though also in alight wind, running to Marblehead and 

 anchoring off the club house. Apart from the stiffness of gear, and 

 the new sails not being fully stretched, she is reported to have worked 

 very satisfactorily, moving fast in the light breezes, and as far as 

 tried, being very stiff. She was in the hands of Mr. Edward Burgess. 

 her designer, and Messrs. Paine and Forbes, of the owners. On Satur- 

 day afternoon she had a brush with Adrienne. leaving her and point- 

 ing higher. Puritan is painted white above the waterlioe, the only 

 white yacht to enter in the trial races. She will sail her first race on 



Tuesday next, in the spring regatta of the Eastern Y. C. off Marble 

 head, after which she will come to New Y r ork for the. trial races 

 Priscilla is now at Poillon's with sails bent and nearly ready for her 

 trial trip, which will take place next week. 



On Sunday last Geuesta put into South Bay, off Wexford, Ireland, 

 as a heavy gale from the west prevailed. Galatea has sailed two 

 more races, the Royal Thames Y r . C. on June 8, and the New Thames 

 on June 9, in neither of them winning a place. The first race was in 

 a very light: wind, and Galatea Showed badly in the short tacks in Sea 

 Reach, the Field speaking of her as "hanging fearfully iii stays," 

 while jjand and Water remarks that "Marguerite, was not cutting a 

 da: h, but was doing almost as well as Galatea; so it may oe taken for 

 granted that the. display of the new cutter to windward was not a 

 good one." Only Marjorie, Tara and Marguerite finished, owing to 

 light winds. Of Tuesday's race the same paper says: "The Galatea, 

 with a grand lead, should have done better, and it' may be said that 

 she is not a tlyer in light weather on any point of sailing." In parts 

 of this latter race Galatea was first boat, as told in the following ac- 

 count from the Field: 



Match for yachts of any rig exceeding 39 tons; first prize £75. sec- 

 ond prize £40; course, from the Lower Hope round the Mouse. Light- 

 ship, and return to Rosherville; Y. R. A. rules and time allowances 

 for a 50-mile course: 



Rig. Tons. Owner. 



Wendur Yawl 125 Mr. J Clark. 



Lorna .Yawl... 85.... Mr. S. HopeMoriey. 



Galatea ....Cutter 90 Lieut. Henn. R. N. 



Irex Cutter 85 Mr. J. Jameson. 



Marjorie Cutter 68 Mr. J. Coats. 



M irguerite _ . . Cutter 60 Mr. F. Connor. 



Tarn Cutter 40 Mr. F. Taylor. 



With a fine breeze, from about N. N. E , Galatea, Irex, and Mar- 

 jorie had second topsails over whole mainsails, and the rest sported 

 jaekyarders. They got their first gun at 11:53. and before the five 

 minutes ware up, Wendur, lrex, Galatea and Marguerite were over 

 the line. Wendur at ouce went round to put herself right, but she 

 never got over the line, Then came a delay of twenty two seconds 

 in firing the gun, which had the effect of putting all over the line. 

 Irex was quite one hundred and fifty yards over, and she went around 

 and reached hack some distance, but the tide was coming down at 

 such apace that it would have taken her a quarter of an hour to have 

 got on the right side of the line. As it was, she started nearly a third 

 of a mile after the others, and had something to do to catch and pass 

 tbetu. All stood out of the Lower Hope on starboard tack, and then 

 hove round to port tack under the. Essex shore, being now ahleto lay 

 a good clean full and bye down the river; Galatea. Marjorie, Lorna, 

 Marguerite, and Tara figuring in a procession in the order named. 

 Lorna. sailing wonderfully fast, went past Marjorie and hung onto 

 the big cutter well, while both Tara and Marguerite were dropping 

 away. Irex was making a steady gain on all, and hod passed Tara 

 aud Marguerite before reaching the Chapman. She was now threat- 

 ening to pass on the weather of Wendur, and undoubtedly would 

 have done so had not the big yawl luffed out across her. This gave 

 Irex a lee-quarter berth, and effectually disposed of her chance of 

 getting to the front. A little lower down jibtopsails were started all 

 round, and some got on balloon foresails, but the change was hardly 

 worth the making. Nearing Southend there, came, some fresher 

 streaks of wind which put them in to the top strake, but jibtopsails 

 were cairied all through. It was a wonderfully level piece of sailing 

 on the part of the leading quartet out to the Mouse, and entirely un- 

 eventful. The time of rounding was: 



Galatea 2 05 50 Irex 2 08 15 



Lorna 2 06 09 Marguerite 2 11 40 



Marjorie 2 07 30 Tara 2 15 00 



Wendur 2 07 36 



They rounded at just about low water and went off back for the 

 river, with ruainhooms eased off port quarters a trifle. Wendur at 

 once began to step out, and passing Marjorie, went on after Galatea. 

 The latter, however, was not an easy prey to overtake, and led the 

 yawl a long chase up to the Chapman before she could get up to her. 

 Wendur then, without more ado, went through the cutter's lee and 

 took the lead; Irex also reached up close under Galatea's lee. but 

 there she stuck and could not get through. Soon after this, the wind 

 fell off very light and eastemed considerably, so that main booms 

 were run nearly square off and spinnakers pulled out. The wind, 

 however, was still rather short for spinnakers, and the booms had to 

 be eased so far forward that bead sails were covered up. Marguerite 

 at once realized the situation, and pulled up bowsprit, spinnaker in- 

 stead. Directly it was sheered she began to step out in the most won- 

 derful manner, and went up past ail but Wendur. Marjorie shifted 

 forjackyard topsail, and held her place, while lrex, Galatea and 

 Lorna were now continually changing places as the wiud favored first 

 one and then the other. 



They now squared away till main booms were nearly off to the rig- 

 Ring in the chance of getting through the Lower Hope without a gybe ; 

 but this they could net do, aud all had to let their main booms go 

 over to starboard quarters without shifting spinnaker over. Marjorie. 

 however, did shift hers over, but it was for a brief spell only, as they 

 were nearly up to the Ovens, where they would have to gybe again, 

 Tara, watching what was going on in front, gyhed over on entering 

 the Lower Hope instead of running by the lee, as the others had done. 

 She gained a lot by this, and probably by her cleverness secured 

 second prize. For the remainder of the journey it was uneventful, 

 excepting that just as they were finishing a better breeze came out, 

 northerly again. The time at the finish was: 



Wendur 5 49 30 Galatea 5 54 55 



Marguerite 5 50 30 lrex 5 55 12 



Lorna 5 5153 Tara 6 00 45 



Marjorie 5 54 12 



Marguerite won the first prize and Tara second. 



Thus far she has not yet shown herself equal to Wendur, Marjorie 

 lrex or Tara, nor has she founded any claim to represent the best of 

 the English yachts in the Cup races. Making all due. allowance for 

 the fact that she is a new boat and as yet not in proper trim, she has 

 not shown those qualities which entitle her to race as a representative 

 of the modern cutters. AVhile we believe that a cutter of her size can 

 dispose of any of our centerboards. to do it with the new boats she 

 must be the best of her kind, and fully up to the average in reaching 

 and running. This Galatea certainly is not as yet. and while shemay 

 show improved form later on, it looks like a doubtful experiment to 

 send her across in her present condition. 



NEW HAVEN Y. C. REGATTA, JUNE 18-19. 



THOUGH a young organization, having been founded in 1881, the 

 New Haven Y. C. is one of the most prosperous and active be- 

 tween New York and Boston. Apart from the difficulty of shoal 

 water in the harbor they have an excellent location in the middle of 

 the north shore, of Long Island Sound, and have already made them- 

 selves known from one end to the other. Several of the club yachts 

 have entered the races of the S. 0. Y. C. in New York waters and one 

 in particular made an excellent impression on all who saw her last 

 fall, while as cruisers they are well known in all Sound ports. While 

 the fleet is composed mostly of centerboards it also numbers the bio- 

 schooner Brunnilde, and the handsome little cutter Raj ih, the latter 

 described in the Forest and Stream of Jan. 24, 1884. The total 

 number of yachts enrolled is 37. 3 being steamers, while the members 

 number 226. Last year the fleet maae an extended cruise, and this 

 season they will establish a new feature in tne shape of an ocean 

 race around Block Island. 



While the club still possesses some of the shoal and wide center- 

 board boats, their cruising and knocking about is teaching the value 

 of comfort and safety first and speed afterward, and deeper boats 

 are coming into favor and would be still more common if it were not 

 for the shoal anchorage, The flagship of the club, the Rajah, is as 

 fine a cutter of tbe moderate beam type as we have here, safe, able 

 and roomy, and the little keel sloop, Happy Thought, is as good a 

 boat of ber class as we know of, with an excellent reputation for 

 speed, in addition to her other qualities. Last season the club erected 

 a very handsome and convenient house, on Water and Franklin 

 streets, built on piles over the water and reached by a plank walk 

 from the shore. The house is iu modern sfyi~. with ample piazzas 

 down stairs and large open balconies above. The lower floor has a 

 large locker room on which open dressing rooms, store room and 

 workshop with a bench and tools. Above is a handsome meeting 

 room with smaller rooms curtained off, the large windows opening 

 on the balconies which command views of the harbor and also of the 

 city and East Rock. A channel is dredged up to the float, allowing 

 yachts to come close up. 



The club numbers many enthusiastic yachtsmen, and the fleet are 

 nearly all entered in the races, that of this year, sailed on June 19, 

 calling out a good list, as follows: 



Class B. 45ft. and over- Ariadne, W. L. Coggswell; Rover C F 

 Swan; Wild Pigeon, Frank Wheeler. 



1, G. Adams. 



Class E. 15 to 25ft.— Trio, W. L. Cheney: Roamer, H. W. Avis. 



Four others entered but did not start. The course this season was 

 a new one, that formerly sailed over being unsatisfactory. It was 

 Horn off Pardee s Bar Buoy, leaving Ludington's Rock Buoy, Pond 

 and Welsh s Point buoys and the buoy off the southward of Charles 

 Island on the starboard hand, then to and around a stakeboat (located 



due southwest, from Ludington's Rock Buoy, at a proper distance to 

 make a ten-mile courses returning over the same course, leaving 

 Charles island, Welsh's Pond Point and Ludington's Eock Buoys on 

 the port hand rn tbe starting point, total distance twenty miles. 



For Class E it was from off Pardee's Bar Buoy, leaving Luding- 

 ton's Rock Buoy on the starboard hand, thence to' and around Pond 

 Point Buoy, and return over the same course, leaving Ludington's 

 Rock Buoy on the port hand to the starting point, distance fifteen 

 miles. 



The prizes offered were first, second and third in each class, de- 

 pending on the number of starters, all for best corrected time, while- 

 11, Classes B, and I) a prize was offered iu each for best elapsed 

 time. Besides these were the Derby Challenge Cup in Class (I, and 

 the Register Challenge Cup in Class D, both for corrected time. 



By 11 A. M. the steamer J. H. Starin was crow del to the upper 

 deck with spectators, and shortly after she left her deck and ran 

 down to the start. Following her was the Utile Messenger, with 

 timekeepers and reporters onboard, while the steam yacht Sophia, 

 with the judges, was already aground wi!h the falling tide, and had 

 to he towed off by the Messenger, several of the yachts being delayed 

 by the same cause. The wind was from the southwest, on endup 

 the course, and hardly of topsail strength at the start, dymg down a 

 little later on, An oyster steamer with an American ensign had 

 been sent out 10 miles to mark the outer turn, and all were notified 

 to look for her. 



The first, gun was fired at 11 :13 from the Rajah. For some reasou 

 nit evident the classes were started with intervals of minutes 

 between, so that over half an ho r <J as gone before, the last boat, was 

 over, having a big handicap Such a fleet could easily have been 

 started from oue gun with a lime limit of 8 to 10 minutes, giving a 

 chance to time all aud then follow the fleet, it is time that regatta 

 committees recognized the uselessness of wasting half an hour or 

 more after the leaders are over and losing all sight of the, raeei S, 



All went over on 1 he starboard tack, carrying topsails, and were 

 soon well strung out. As the way out was a beat, the press boat 

 could easily have run in company and watched a very pretty race, 

 but with the usual perversity of such craft, she steamed off slowly in 

 another direction, carefully keeping some miles away from the fleet, 

 so as to allow the scribes to draw ou their imagination for details, 

 undisturbed by any necessity of watching the race. 



Ariadne led the fleet out into the Sound for some distance until not 

 one. but a dozen markboats were sighted in various directions. The 

 steam dredges of New Haven bear a strong family likeness, one to 

 the other, and it seems thatmost of them have a flag of some descrip- 

 tion flying, consequently when the yachtsmen sighted a fleet of them 

 at anchor over a space of some miles iu extent, there was some un- 

 certainty as to just which was their particular one. The. leading 

 boats, class B, sighted an oyster boat with flags Hying after some 

 delay, and some of them turned it, only to find that it was signaling 

 tO a par y on shore who were surveying for the shellfish commission 

 and was not their boat. Most of the. other boats also fumed this 

 mark. The flagship happened to know the particular bout in question, 

 and not recognizing her among those near at hand, sailed ou until 

 Bridgeport was reached without finding her. Alter some hours of 

 steaming nowhere in particular, the passengers ou the press boat, 

 made out the yachts at a distance, coming down free with all kites 

 set, Rival came in first and then Stranger, the others in a string, being 

 over an hour in passing the line

On Friday the Thistle was ou hand, having arrived the previous

 Ariadne. Class C— Rajah, Marguerite, Happy Thought, Class D—

The result of the race has given much dissatisfaction to the owners 



of the yachts concerned, and it will be some time before the matter 

 is finally settled. 



BEVERLY Y. C. REGATTAS. 



THE programme for 1885 contains seven races, the first being at 

 Monument Beach, on July 3, open catboat sweepstakes en- 

 trance fee $5. The second on the following day, also at, Monument 

 Beach, is for the club yachts only, prizes being given in each class 

 beside the champion pennants. On July 8, off Nahant. the first cham- 

 pionship regatta will be held, the second being at Marbleheadon July 

 25, and the third at Swampscott 011 Aug. 29. On Aug 8 an open we

BENT YACHT TIMBERS. 



Edilcr Forest and. stream; 



The surerioiity f bent yacht limbers over those worked out 

 rrum natural crooks is so obvious that it is surprising that until re- 

 cently they have received so little attention from yacht builders and 

 owners. 



the cause of this failure to appreciate the good qualities of bent 

 limbers has undoubtedly been the difficulty and cost of obtaining 

 them. _ It is bat a short time ago that it was considered impossible to 

 bend timbers large enough for yacht building, but durii-g the last 

 ton years rapid strides have been made by those engaged hi experi- 

 menting, until at the present time timbers as large as four inches 

 e can be successfully bent. So successfully can this be done 

 that the two ends of a timber cotdd be brought together wore it 

 desired. 



The bent timber ha-^ come, and it has come to stay, Its superior 



bh and durability will make it a prominent feature of yacht 



tngin theluture, and it is precicted that in.alew year- 'when 



kject has been more carefully studied, it will be "possible to 



bend ship timbers also. l 



One of the great advantages of the bent timber is that the grain of 

 the wood is sure to follow the sweep of the timber from end to end 

 In working out timbers from natural crooks it is always difficult and 



ne any impossible to get crooks, the grain of which will follow the 

 shape ot tbe mould, hence it becom - ,-y to cut across the 



gram This greatly impairs the strength of the timber and renders 

 it liable to break in case ot a strain or shock. Again, in getting out 

 long crooked timbers, especially those with double sweep for after
