NEW JERSEY Y, C. 1 5TH ANNUAL REGATTA. 



T^XCEPT in the matter of wind, the New Jersey Y. 0. were badly 

 Jli served by the weather on Monday, as a northeast storm brought 

 a chill rain with it, making it very unpleasant for the spectators. 

 The race was thrown open to yachts of other clubs, and a number of 

 entries were promised, but only a part of them appeared, both Croc- 

 odile and Arab being among the absent. Only 19 of the 33 entries 

 started, and hut 12 of these completed the course; a very great pity, 

 considering the number of calm days in the yachting calendar and 

 the brisk northeast breeze that blew on this occasion. All classes 

 started and finished off Bedloe's Island, the catamarans turning 

 Buovs 9 and 16, Class B turned Buoys 11 and 16, Classes C and D 

 Buoys 13 and 16, Class E Buoy 13 only, and Class F rounded Fort 

 La f ay ette. 



The steamer Blackbird was anchored off Bedloe's Island at 11A.M., 

 by which time the breeze had freshened so much that most of the 

 yachts turned in one or even two reefs. At 11:10 the starting whistle 

 blew, with the handicap at 11:15, the yachts crossing in the following 

 order: 



Cyclone 11 12 52 Teaser 11 17 36 



Wayward 11 12 53 Nemesis 11 18 16 



Sirene 11 13 37 JEgir 11 18 21

All after Rambler were handicapped. 



The tide was half down and the ebb earned them on swiftly. The 

 small class turned Fort Lafayette as follows: . . 



Cate Cate .12 01 00 Wave 12 04 40 



Truant 12 02 30 



The larger boats were timed at Buoy 13:

Rambler 12 13 31 Charm 12 14 50 



Loui'e 12 12 40 Alexander F 12 15 40 



Shortly after the turn the Charm and Geo. B. Deane fouled in tack- 

 ing, but no damage was done. The beat home was made agamst a 

 strong wind, the vachts carrying full sail, though most of them would 

 have been satisfied with a reef in. The new jib and mainsail boat, 

 Sirene, built by McGiehan for Dr. Doremus, for the use of his sons, 

 won her first race, sailing well all day.

ATLANTIC Y. C. ANNUAL REGATTA, JUNE 15. 



A SPECIAL feature of regatta week this year is the presence of a 

 large, fleet from Boston, bent on adding to the score of last year s 

 victory a lot of new mugs. Fortuna came in last week, having 

 sailed around- Puritan, Gitana and Thetis arrived on Saturday, the 

 former receiving a perfect ovation from whistles and bells on her 

 passage past the citv to her old anchorage off Stapleton, while May 

 flower was found at anchor on Tuesday morning off Bay Ridge, bhe 

 had left Boston on Thursday night, falling foul of fogs and calms and 

 not reaching New York until Monday night, too late to enter on Tues- 

 day. She went on the screw dock on Wednesday, and will probably 

 sail to-dav in the New York Y. C. Kegatta. „,.. t , 



This year's regatta of the Atlantic Y. C.is especially noticeable 

 from the large proportion of new boats or of boats new to New York 

 waters that entered, no less than 8 out of the 36 starters being on 

 trial First of course is the supreme effort of the Atlantic i . C, the 

 culmination of twenty years' experience of the American center- 

 beard sloop model. No other club of its size has been as fondly de- 

 voted to the ancient American sloop, and none has contended so 

 stoutly for the principles on which that esteemed craft was supposed 

 to be construced, and it is now not a little amusing to see the result 

 of it all; a boat that is even less of a sloop than any of her compet- 

 itors and that stands forth a confession m wood and lead, of the 

 fallacious views so long held by the believers in the sloop. An at- 

 tempt is still made to foist these new boats off as of ' the purely 

 American type," and the delusion is fostered by dubbing them 

 "sloops," but it is too late to impose on even tne greenest yachtsmen 

 True, they have beam and centerboard to fall back on but in all other 

 respects they are the direct opposite of a sloop. Technically, in 

 view of their rig, they are cutters, but without falling bacte on that, 

 three or them at least, Atlantic, Puritan and Mayflower, may fairly 

 be designated as centerboard cutters. „ t„ 



Whatever merits time may show her to possess, Atlantic certainty 

 cannot number beauty among them. It was bad enough when sail- 

 ing about the bay alone, but with Puritan and Mayflower alongside, 

 her stern seems to cock up higher than ever, while from astern the 

 narrow blunt end looks as if some one had stepped on the point aDd 

 broken it off. The upward rake of her bowsprit only serves to increase 

 th6 Sheer, making her look more crescent-shaped than she really is. 

 In her sailing on Tuesday she appeared a little by the head, mannig 

 the stern still higher. Her sails are now in fine condition, and as flat 

 as can be desired. In the race, in spite of her big crew _ot 25, she 

 was not up to the mark with ber light c*nva>, the balloon pbtop-ail 

 going overboard several times in lowering, while at times her spinna- 

 ker was not handled quickly. Of course, she was well sailed except 

 in crossing the line, and her crew will no doubt improve with more 



d ^rScfll a S may r be rated as a new boat in view of the extensive altera, 

 tionVof last winter in hull and rig. With her cutter rig and a gata of 

 a ton weight taken off her rail and decks, she is much stiff er and thus 

 far seems faster than last year She was very well sailed ion .Tuesday 

 and while favored more than the others in the shaking up for places 

 beyond the Scotland, she worked for and fully deserved all she won. 

 The double stay arrangement on ber and Atlantic seems to have its 

 disadvantages, as both had trouble at the Sandy Hook hghtsnip in 

 hoisfing bafloon jibtopsails to windward. The ex-sharpie Vedette 

 also made her reappearance after another "lwsbtmng change now 

 coming out as a deep draft, lead keel,. round-bottomed schooner 



The next new one on the list of entries is the schooner Leona long 

 known about New York, but rebuilt and newly rigged last winter and 

 sailing her first race in her new form on Tuesday, coming m second 



^Lifeher is Oracle, of almost forgotten age, offensively ^altered 

 this soring Her appeal ance certainly has been very much im- 

 proved an afto speed, one race is not sufficient to judge by though 

 she was well astern out to the Scotland, finally losing to Thetis on 



a ln W the e third class was another real new one, Cinderella Mr Iselin's 

 racer Since ber race at Larchmont her mast has been shortened 

 is£ "and bowsprit 2ft. Again she w»6 well »stern of Clara all day, 

 especially sq 'during the first half. 



Concord is a new boat in New York waters, a centerboard, lead 

 keel sloop, owned by Com. H. C. Roome. J. C. Y. O, and Nirvana, a 

 deep keel boat, from Boston, is only new to New York. 



Another Boston boat, a real new one, is Adelaide, built by Wood 

 Bros, for Mr. Robert Underhill. With her high counter, low waist, 

 and consequent sheer, she looked a cousin to Atlantic and was no 

 more of a beauty. Her stern, ending in a big triangle with its lower 

 angle deeply immersed, proclaimed a close relationship to Neva. 

 Gleam. Cricket and other of Wood's boats : but below water she is of 

 a different type, following more the Puritan model. Her rig, of 

 course, showed double headsails. The last new one, Arab, we have 

 before described ; a deep, lead-loaded centerboard craft, with very 

 large rig and single jib. The entries in the various classes were:

The letters or numbers were carried on the mainsail. The courses 

 were for special class from Bay Ridge to aid around the stakeboat, 

 near Buoy No. 8, passing to the west of the same; thence to and 

 around Scotland Liehtship, keeping it on the port hand; thence to 

 and around Sandy Hook Lightship, keeping it on the port hand, and 

 back to Buoy No. 15. Distance, 37 miles. 



For Classes A, B, C, D and E the same, except that the finish will he 

 from the point of departure, off Bay Ridge. Distance, 40 miles. 



Class F the same course, but returning after rounding Scotland 

 Lightship. Distance, 32 miles. 



Other classes the same course, but returning home after rounding 

 the stakeboat anchored near Buoy No. 8. Distance, 24 miles. 



All yachts to pass to the westward of Fort Lafayette and the 

 beacon on Romer Shoal, and to the eastward of buoys No. 11. 13 and 

 15 on the West Bank, both going and returning, and at the home- 

 stake between two stakeboats marking the line. 



Besides the regular class prizes the Livingston memorial prize 

 was to be sailed for in Class E, for first boat in, without allowance. 



The Cygnus with the. members on board and the swift and commo- 

 dious Liickenbach with the judges, Messrs. Beebe, McNulty and Paine, 

 left Jewell's dock about 10 A. M. and steamed to Bay Ridge, where 

 the fleet were waiting, most of them with big topsails aloft, spinnaker 

 poles ready to port and the balloon jibtopsails set in stops. Anchor- 

 ing off the Basin, the first gun was fired from the bluff at 10:35. 



The weather was not pleasant, a cold dun-colored sky made an 

 overcoat a necessity, the wind was only moderate, but damp and 

 chilly coming from N.E. A strong ebb tide was ready to help the 

 yachts down. A few miuutes before gunfire Puritan reached along 

 the line to eastward, shaving it very close with Thetis close astern. 



It seemed as if both must cross before the time, but they held on 

 until a puff of smoke was seen on shore, following which, almost be- 

 fore the report was heard, Puritan's big balloon sail burst from its 

 stops, while Thetis quickly followed with ballooner and spinnaker. 

 Away they went, booms to starboard and fifing down tide, Thetis 

 with only a thimbleheader over her gaff. Haze and Grayling quickly 

 followed then Tidal Wave, Montauk and Priscilla. The latter broke 

 out balloon jibtopsail and lowered headsails on the line. Atlantic 

 was far to the westward at trunfire, but came down handsomely at 

 last making a good turn about the tug, and going over with 18 sec- 

 onds to spare. At 10:45 a third gun gave the expiratian ot the 

 special class and schooners' time, and also the signal for the others. 



The fleet filed past in a procession, the order being as follows:
