EASTERN Y. C. 



[By Telegraph to the Forest and Stream.] 



BOSTON, June 29.— The regatta of the Eastern Y. C. at Marblehead 

 to-day was a most successful one, wind and weather being fav- 

 orable for a real test of the craft. There was a whole sail breeze all 

 day. The great event was the contest of the three sloops, Puritan, 

 Priscilla and Mayflower, twice over the 15 mile course. Tbe yachts 

 crossed the line as follows: Priscilla, 12:08; Puritan, 12:12:45; May- 

 flower, 12:14:30. Wind over starboard quarter to southerly stakeboat, 

 which was rounded as follows: Priscilla, 12:35:20; Puritan, 12:39:20; 

 Mayflower, 12:39:50. 



With wind slightly abaft the beam, on the reach to the northern 

 stakeboat, the three rounded the mark as follows: Priscilla, 1:06:45; 

 Mayflower, 1:07:23; Puritan, 1:07:46. Ou the beat to windward to 

 starting stakeboat the Puritan worked ahead, the boats rounding as 

 follows: Puritan, 1:52:50; Priscilla, 1:53:10; Mayflower, 1:56:25. The 

 southern stakeboat was rounded tbe second time as follows: Puri- 

 tan, 2:20:45; Priscilla, 2:21:18; Mayflower, 2:24:34; the northern stake- 

 boat. Puritan, 2:47:45; Priscilla, 2:48:25; Mayflower. 2:51:47. The 

 home line was crossed as follows: Puritan, 3:33:00; Priscilla, 3:36:30; 

 Mayflower, 3:37:00.

COLUMBIA Y. C. 1 9TH REGATTA. 



THE Columbia Y. C. held a very successful regatta on June 21, 

 being favored with a good breezs all day. The course of tbe 

 club is a peculiar one, but possesses a great advantage in that it is 

 withiu view of the club house and Riverside drive, so no steamer was 

 needed. From the club house the yachts sail up the river to a mark 

 boat on the east sbore, thence across to a mark boat on the west 

 shore, thence directly across the river, turning the home mark, 

 thence out around the second mark, and down diagonally across the 

 river to a mark below the house on the east shore, and then up to 

 the start where they finish. All but Class E went over this course 

 twice. The many sides give a variety of courses and insure some 

 windward work with every wind. The crews were limited to one 

 man per 4ft of length and sailiug master, the latter being a club 

 member. The allowance was l^min. per foot. Besides the regular 

 prizes a champion pennant was given for the best elapsed time. The 

 wind was from P. to S. E. during the day, blowing nicely in the after- 

 noon. The summary was as follows:

THE PILGRIM CHALLENGED. 



BY DR. W. H. WINSLOW. 



WE dropped anchor in Sabbath Day Harbor at noon one pleasant 

 day in September, and after a ramble around the little village 

 and over the autumn-tinted bluff of this lslesboro summer resort, re- 

 turned aboard to cook dinner. A boat came off from shore above 

 the wharf, where a sloop of some local reputation for speed was 

 lying, and the three occupants inspected the Pilgrim bow, stern and 

 broadside with much interest, asking many questions meanwhile. 

 They had never seen anything just like her in those waters, and 

 wit-bed to know if she was "one o' them cutters that the yachtsmen 

 were talking so much about." They were particularly struck by the 

 long overhang and sharp, triangular stern, and were very much 

 astonished to learn that she carried 3,300 pounds of iron keel and 

 1,100 pounds of moulded iron inside for ''ballast." 



"Kin she sail any?" asked tbe coxswain, whom I recognized as the 

 clerk of the hotel, taking a careful look at the mainsail, which had 

 been left up for shade. 



"Yes, if she has breeze enough," I replied. "She manages to knife 

 along a little in a calm, but she delights in a howler, and we are very 

 much pleased with the supply in Penobscot Bay." 



The cockpit and cabin were cluttered up with dishes and grub and. 

 as we did not invite our interlocutors aboard, they soon pulled around 

 the end of the wharf and left us to our dinner. While the two ladies 

 were washing up and stowing away the dishes, my land lubber of a 

 brothei-in-law, who knows more of calico measuring and codfish 

 weighing about his store than he did concerning a boat, called my 

 attention to the sloop we had seen coming around the point. She 

 stood out into the bay, then made a board by us, hovered around in 

 a suspicious manner and seemed in no hurry to go anywhere. She 

 had mainsail, jib and jibtopsailset, and as my crew before mentioned 

 hauled up our anchorihe gallant fellows took in and stowed the jibtop- 

 sail. thus matching our jib and mainsail, all 1 wished to carry in the 

 puffy northwester that was blowing, when I had ladies aboard. 



The stranger was a keel sloop about 25ft. long, 10ft. beam and 3ft. 

 draft. She had a light topmast, a tall mast set well back, a good 

 spread of canvas, a large cockpit and small cuddy, and a yachtlike 

 appearance and no tender to hold her back. Our 12ft. cedar boat 

 behind us was the only thing that gave her any advautage over us. 

 The Pilgrim filled away arid went quietly along the shore of the 

 island, with the wind upon the starboard quarter, and the stranger 

 shaped a parallel course with a rather stronger breeze, as she was 

 about a pabje's length, further off shore and upon our port quarter, i 



We recognized that it was a challenge to a race, but we were too 

 much interested in the pretty cottages, the bold, pine-covered head- 

 lands and the beautiful coves of the shore to pav particular attention 

 to the sailing, and when we had reached Hugh's Head, that barred 

 our progress four miles from our starting point, the sloop had crept 

 up almost upon our beam, and it was evident that she was faster 

 than the Pilgrim with a boat in tow, and a free sailer before the 

 wind. 



Then the cutter was turned around, the boom jibed and the sheets 

 trimmed flat down for a course along the island and home. The 

 sloop went past, and I thought she did not wish to race after all. The 

 next moment she trimmed in Bheets, went square across our stern 

 and made a rapid run with the. wind a little free in toward the shore 

 till she was upon our weather quarter, when she went about and 

 struck a parallel course with us, having gained by the Yankee t>-ick 

 about quarter of a mile the weather gauge of us. Now the contest 

 became interesting. The wind had been freshening as tbe sun went 

 down, and the strong puffs from the northwest heeled the Pilgrim to 

 her rail, and she edged up into it and shot ahead like an arrow. 

 The crew laid himself down flat alongside of the house, racing 

 style, the ladies sat down in tne bottom of the cockpit, 

 and I braced my feet against the lee side of the cockpit, 

 managed the tiller and kept the jib sheet ready to let go if necessary. 

 Several times I eased it a little, as the water rolled along the lee 

 scuppers in a torrent of foam, just to quiet the ladies, who thought 

 the cockpit staving and the water were getting a little too well ac- 

 quainted, but I hauled in again immediately with a shiver of the 

 mainsail and then looked over to see my oppnnent almost upon her 

 beam ends, the mainsail flapping and tbe jib bellying and shaking. We 

 were both carrying too much sail, but I kuew we could stand it, aDd the 

 stranger was not going to set an example. So we bowled along up 

 the eastern channel, the Pilgrim hugging tbe wind and shore so 

 closely I was obliged to slacken sheets and keep off a little to avoid 

 projecting reefs, the stranger doing nonly, but slowly and surely sag- 

 ging to leeward until she was first astern, then upon our lee quarter, 

 and far away from us. 



When we had run ten miles and were off Dyce's Head, above Cas- 

 tine, the sloop was aft our beam and more than a mile to leeward, 

 while the little Pilgrim was dancing away toward Belfast and eating 

 up to the very wind's eye with her joyous excursionists. Then all 

 doubt of the effort of the stranger to test speed vanished, for she 

 tacked ship, payed off sheets, and shaped her course for her starting 

 place, while we yelied "Good-bye," swung caps and handkerchiefs, 

 held out a rope for a tow, and indulged in those antics and congratu- 

 lations so dear to the victorious. We had beaten the crack sloop of 

 the island, hampered by a low and hindered in our weather course by 

 proximity to rocks and reefs. 



This was a square race between two types of boats, and the result 

 proved their best and worst points. The wide, shallow was fast 

 before the wind and made great leeway cn the wind; the deep, nar- 

 row boat showed fair speed before the wind, and held her place and 

 worked to windward like a sea gull.

( [ROYAL CANADIAN Y. C.-The R. C. Y. C. held an important 

 meeting ou June 19, at which twenty-five members were present. 

 Besides some minor changes in the by-laws, the club resolved to 

 abolish their existing sailing regulations and to adopt those of the 

 Lake Y. R. A., the principal difference involved being the question 

 of shifting ballast, which is henceforth, prohibited in the R. C. Y. C. 

 By-law No. 17, admitting junior members without entrance fee was 

 changed, making the hmit of age 25 years in place of 21.
