less in the van of the fleet, carrying; sail well and making a good 

 show all day; but once on the wind she was not in it with Puritan, 

 and it does not seem that she ever will be. Both she and her antag- 

 onists were well sailed al) day, the wind was the same to all. and there 

 was no fluking; but on the wind Puritan left her fairly and squarely, 

 making up in a few tacks the long distance she had lost. 



After the fluky winds and provoking calms of New York, Marble- 

 head breezes were very welcome to the yachtsmen, while the place 

 has much to recommend it. A beautiful harbor where hundreds of 

 yachts may lie unmolested by trading craft, an open course within 

 half a m'le of its mouth, the neighboring bays for small yacht sail- 

 ing, and in place of the garbage and oil-polluted waters of New York, 

 a clear, green t ide that shows the keels of the deepest boats clearly. 

 Add to this a picturesque shore, lined with handsome summer cot- 

 tages perched on the rocks, from which latter a view of the course 

 may be had, a handsome club house and good water for the deepest 

 boats almost up to the shore, and the place makes a perfect yachts- 

 roan's paradise. 



Here on Monday were gathered a fleet of yachts of all sizes and 

 rigs, from the huge Ambassadress down to little Shona. Among the 

 sehooners were Gitana. Fortuna, Mohican, Dauntless, Meta, Adri- 

 enne. intrepid Una, Marion Wentworth, Tempest, Fearless, Alice 

 and Tioga, with a number of smaller ones. I'riscilla lay at anchor 

 near the middle of the harbor, Mayflower came in at evening and 

 dropped hook alongside, Puritan followed and took a berth further 

 out and nearer the Neck shore. Stranger came over from the Beverly 

 shore and laid near Mayflower, while Bedouin remained at her usual 

 anchorage off Beverly. Boston turned out a large fleet, though 

 there was little fight in them and few entered. Huron, Thetis, Active, 

 Addie. Yolante, Shadow, Rondiua, Maud, Elera, Imperia, North Star, 

 Lapwing, Alga. Fad, Saracen, Nimbus, -Egir. were all in the harbor 

 on Monday. New York sent a small but select fleet. Priscilla, Bedou- 

 in. Clara and TJlidia, all first in their classes at home. 



New York was once supposed to be the home of the sloop, but she 

 has to depend for her proper representation abroad almost entirely 

 on the cutter tribe, large and small. Clara and Ulidia sailed around 

 from New York to Marblehead, sailed the race, the former winning 

 as a matter of course, and then topped booms for New York again, 

 to be in at Larchmont on Monday, a performance hardly worthy of 

 comment when performed bv a cutter, but what a grand hurrah there, 

 would be if a small New York sloop had tried such a lengthy voyage 

 merely for one race. 



A new course was laid out this year that brought dismay to the 

 hearts of masters and crews, a triangle with five mile sides, two 

 rounds to make the thirty-mile course. Handling spinnakers and 

 balloon jibtopsails over five-mile lees in a good breeze is no fun, bow- 

 ever useful and necessary I he drill may be, and there was some 

 grumbling at first, but once away the work was not so hard as they 

 had feared. The course was a triangle, with the starting stakeboat 

 at one angle, about a third of a mile south-southeast from Marble- 

 head Rock; thence to a boat moored five miles east half south, 

 cirectly in the range of Half-way Rock; thence to a boat or tug 

 moored five miles southwest three fourths south from this eastern 

 mark and five miles south-southeast from the starting stakeboat. 



This course was to be sailed twice over by all but the smallest class, 

 which was to make but one round; the direction in which the yachts 

 were to start being governed bv the wind. The prizes offered were: 

 First class schooners, $250; second cbss schooners, $125? third class 

 schooners, $50; first class sloops, $250; second class sloops, $150; 

 third class sloops, $75; fourth class sloops, $50. The entries were:

The entries in the old classes are but meager, and the fleld is left 

 almost undisputed to the cutters and keel boats. Only 5 center- 

 boards to 12 keels, and of the former 3 had lead keels in addition to 

 their boards. Boston is noted for its large yacht fleet, especially un- 

 der 50ft but here in the principal races of the year no home boats 

 turn out to do battle with the visiting cutters. For several years tfle 

 races in British waters have been closely watched from this side, and 

 Americans are thoroughly familiar, by name and reputation, with 

 the leading cracks across the water. Now it is a little bewildering to 

 read the names of Clara, Maggie. Madge, Ulidia, Cythera, Delvinand 

 Shona. in the reports of our home races, and to see Clara under the 

 blue ensign and Ulidia flying the Royal Thames burgee in the midst 

 of the fleet of American yachts. A man has to turn round and shake 

 himself and to stop for a moment to think whether this is really the 

 rocky coast of New England or some little loch on the Scotch coast 

 whence these northern flyers originally came. The lack of entries is 

 a most engrossing subject with the working members of our clubs, 

 whose labors are often in vain, and a remedy may probably be found 

 in the classification alluded to. The. state of the case at present is tar 

 from encouraging. With their boasted supremacy threatened by 

 narrow invaders, the whole fleet, wide keels and wider centerboards, 

 should have turned out, instead of which they left to one boat, the 

 Active, the defense of their cause.; 



The weather of Tuesday was of the best, clear, not too warm for 

 June, a bright sky, smooth water, and best of all, a rattling breeze 

 from the west, no coy zephyr, but a blast that stretched the canvas 

 and tried the gear in a way that has not been done before this season. 

 The direction of the course was over the southerly leg fl'st, a broad 

 reach then with booms further off over starboard quarters; and a 

 dead hammer to windward on the last leg. The programme for 

 the start was as follows: . ...... 



At 11 or 30m. before starting, a flag, bearing the number ot the 

 course to be sailed, will be hoisted on the Regatta Committee steamer. 



At 11-25 warning signal five minutes before start by lowermg a 

 numbered flag, hoisting a blue flag and blowing a whistle. 



At 11-30 start of first class schooners and sloops by lowering the 

 blue flag and blowing a long whistle. Five minutes time limit for 

 this class to start. „ . , ^ L 



At 11 '35. a short whistle for limit of time for first class to start. 



At 11-40 start of the second class schooners and sloops, and also 

 warning to third andfourth classes by lowering blue flag (hoisted one 

 minute previously) and blowing a whistle . 



At 1W5 start of the remaining yachts by lowering a blue flag 

 (hoisted one minute before) and blowing the whistle. 



All but the first class yachts shall start f i om the signal for their 

 respective classes, and no time limit will be allowed. Their time will 

 be taken from the rignal of their class. In case of delay in the first 

 signal the same intervals will be allowed. ,. m . 



The starting line was awkwardly placed, making it very difficult to 

 cross at the start and finish, and matters were made worse by the 

 behavior of many of the small yachts which attended. Scores ot 

 these came in all day, and many anchored about the line in utter dis- 

 regard of the racers, refusing to move when requested. The matter 

 is bad enough in New York, but the conduct ot some ot these small 

 vaohts was a disgrace to their owners. 



With the big races now common some legislation has become neces- 

 sary and one or more public boats with full authority to clear the 

 course, are imperatively needed. After half an hour's delay ac the 

 start, the preparatory whistle was blown at noon, and at 12:0o the 

 start for the first class yachts souDded. Boston is still behind m one 

 matter the yachts were not numbered and there were no entry cards, 

 so that it was often difficult to pick out the boats quicKly while the 

 classes and allowances were not known generally until the cunclu- 

 Hon of the race. The large yachts were maneuvering ■about the line 

 at the signal, Puritan and Priscilla near together and luffing up by 

 the line the latter covered by Gitana. The New York yacht was first 

 over w th clubtop?ail aloft and large jibtopsa.l full and gomg ike a 

 locomotive, with all the sail she wanted, her topmast bending like a 

 whip at times. Gitana came next, carrying working -topsails, a club- 

 topsail over the main, and maintopmast staysail. Fortuna and Mo- 

 hican came next, then Puritan, and Mayflower last of the lot both 

 being handicapped. The two carried jibheaders and broke out jib- 

 topsails. Both lost ground badly at the start, and Priscilla too* a 



fln Bedouin led the smaller lot, with Huron, Thetis and Stranger in 

 order The latter came for the line promptly on the whistle m good 

 shape but in obedience to a signal from the judges' boat she put 

 back? and lost several minutes in working into position, throwing her 

 well astern. The times of the start were:

The five-mile leg was made in quick time, the fleet in a long string, 

 Priscilla leading the greater part of the way, but passed by Gitana 

 finally. Mayflower gained on Puritan. The order at the first mark 

 was: Gitana, Priscilla, Fortuna, Mohican, Puritan, Mayflower, Huron, 

 Thetis. Bedouin, Stranger. Gitana tried a spinnaker to port, hut soon 

 took it in, while Priscilla had her boom ready but did not set the 

 canvas on it. With booms over starboard quarters they still held 

 the pace, Priscilla pulling up through Gitana's weather and again 

 leading until it seemed as if she would be first at second mark, but 

 Gitana cut her out at the last moment. A pretty fight followed 

 between the two white ones, ending by Mayflower going to wind- 

 ward of Puritan and leading her for a time. The times at the second 

 mark, when the fleet hauled on the wind, were:

Over the ten miles then sailed the elapsed times were: Mayflower 

 55:56, Priscilla 50:41 and Puritan 56:50. Thus Mayflower had really 

 sailed fastest, but Priscilla had proved much stiffer. carrying her 

 kites well when the other had heeled badly at times and shown her- 

 self entirely too tender. Once in the wind another fact bpcame evi 

 dent. None of the boats have sailed in so strong a wind before this 

 season, and sails and gear were stretching at a great rate. All are 

 fitted with heavy purchases, and peaks were set up. but still the 

 mainsails stretched until the topsails were all too large for their space 

 and ceased to stand, while Mayflower's boom at times nearly touched 

 her wheel. This leg gave the long Avished for trial to windward, and 

 in a splendid working breeze. All went off on port tack, Priscilla 

 having taken in her cluptopsail and jibtopsail. Gitana was first to 

 tack at 1 :13 with Fon una following at once. At 1:15 Priscilla went 

 on starboard tack, two minutes later Mayflower followed, with Puri- 

 tan directly after. Soon after Mayflower took in her topsail which 

 had been doing more harm than gooil. At 1 :28 Puritan tacked, Pris- 

 cilla following at once to windward, but the white boat walked quickly 

 through her lee. Mayflower had suffered from a hlanketing from 

 Gitana, and was now last of the trio. Steadily Puritan gained on the 

 iron yacht, and at 1:50 she crossed the latter's bow, going about at 

 OBce for the turn with Priscilla close by and under her. 



The schooners had dropped astern on this leg, but Fortuna had 

 fairly beaten the others. She was canvassed with better judgment 

 than Gitana, the latter holding on to her elubtopsail too long, while 

 under snugger sails Fortuna walked grandly to windward in her old 

 style. On this leg Active lost her topmast, but pluckily j- ailed over 

 the course, Huron, holding a good place, carried away her bobstay 

 and withdrew, while Shona met with a similar accident, due to bad 

 engineering, which cost her her bowsprit; but she worked to wind- 

 ward under big foresail and completed the course. The times at 

 the end of the first round were: 



Thetis 2 21 56 



Clara 2 26 23 



Gevalia 2 32 40 



Meta 2 34 18

Bedouin 2 15 42

A comparison of times on the five-mile beat shows plainly the ability 

 of Puritan and also the great superiority in such work ot the single- 

 stickers over the schooners. The elapsed times were: 



Puritan 45 02 Fortuna 57 27 



Mayflower 49 05 Mohican 1 07 0:> 



Priscilla 51 10 Gitana 1 07 17 



Thus, taking no account of superior size, the schooners are beaten, 

 taking the average of the three boats in each class, 15 minutes in five 

 miles. The gain of Puritan over her fellows is a fair one, made on 

 even sailing and with no peiceptible fluking. 



Down the fourth leg the positions did not change; the yachts were 

 not timed at the lower turn and only a few at the lee mark, as fol- 

 lows: . M 



Puritan 2 48 35 Fortuna 2 u5 4o 



Priscilla 2 49 05 Gitana 3 06 38 



Mayflower 2 52 24 



Again the boats came by the wind for a final bout, this time Puritan 

 well ahead and gaining. Mayflower again took in topsail and soon 

 after she housed her topmast, with a benefit that was at once ap- 

 parent. Puritan followed, while Priscilla lost some time before hers 

 was properly lowered, costing her a little distance. Puritan led in 

 toward Beverly on port tack and well to windward. Mayflower was 

 coming up on Priscilla now that she was lightened aloft, Puritan 

 made the first cast to starboard tack, going on port tack soon after 

 toward Beverly. At 3:11 Priscilla tacked, but Mayflower held on and a 

 short time afterward crossed her bows. Priscilla now made a long 

 leg in toward Beverly, apparently far astern of Mayflower, the latter 

 working shorter legs on a more direct course, but wnen the black 

 boat finally came up for the line it was seen that she would lead her 

 rival, tacking ahead of her just at the line and going over ahead. 

 The other boats came in slowly, Fortuna still ahead in her class, 

 Gevalia beating Alice and Meta; Bedouin, Clara and Shona taking 

 the prizes in their classes. After the big boats finished it was a sight 

 to see the mosquito fleet scuttling off for home before nightfall, 

 doze.DS of white sails in all directions. The only serious mishap of 

 the day was the capsize of a ceuterboard boat and the drowning of 

 four nien near the finish, The full times were:

was far too small for the class and had no place in it, but went in in 

 a true sporting spirit, and the same took Shona over the course 

 alone, none of the Boston cracks showing up to give the little stran- 

 ger a race. Her crew are made to fit her beam, young Charles Barr. 

 brother of Clara's skipper, and John Junior, son of the latter, a 

 young sailor man of twelve years, who promises some day to make a 

 worthy successor to his father. 



Of cause, the palm for imposing appsarance must go to such 

 yachts as Fortuna and Mayflower, but for form and style the little 

 black lead pencil, as some call her, can hold her own with any. With 

 a boat of moderate proportions beau'y of form is obtained with com- 

 parative ease, but given an extreme length of 40ft. and a beam of 

 little over oft., on which to build a boat at once fast and handsome, 

 and the task is far different. A look at any of our fastest cutters 

 will show this, as in spile of other redeeming features in looks, they 

 all show the flat side and many a heavy bilge low down. With Shona 

 it is not so, but her narrow sides are beautifully rounded and her long 

 counter is as delicately shaped as a black marble statue, every curve 

 and contour showing the hand of an artist as well as a successful 

 designer. 



After the races most of the yachts anchored in Marblehead Harbor, 

 Puritan sailing for Boston. Mayflower left next morning, Priscilla 

 followed later, bound for a short cruise; in the afternoon Clara and 

 Ulidia weighed for the return trip, and the quiet old town settled 

 down to its wonted business of rowing dories and driving shoe pegs 

 as though it had never wakened from its monotonous found to go 

 wild for a day over a yacht race.

Huron withdrew in consequence of an accident, as noted. 



The table above requires little explanation. Puritan won her vic- 

 tory by honest work to windward, and while Priscilla has the legs oE 

 her down wiDd, she cannot make up on the weather work sufficiently 

 to come in winner, in Crocker's hands Puritan is evidently as good as 

 ever. Priscilla has been wonderfully improved since last year, as 

 shown not only in the work she does, but, in the way she does it, and 

 is a verv fast boat. After ber work last week however, it looks as 

 thougbshe had reached almost the limit of her speed under such 

 conditions, and as if her place in the future would be after, not 

 before Puritan. No small part of her success this year lies with her 

 owner, and he will evidently get all the speed out of her iron bottom 

 that it is capable of, and may yet surprise us all; but we must still 

 award first place to her white rival. Priscilla was sailed with skill 

 and judgment all through the race, and it was no fault of her owner 

 and skipper that she did not win. . >4t 



The unknown quantity thus far is Mayflower, handsomest ot the 

 trio, and we still believe the best. Certainly she is very tender, but 

 reports to the contrary, less than a ton of ballast has been added 

 since her first trials. Aloft she carries too much weight m heavy 

 spars and gear, but when this is reduced and some more inside 

 lead stowed, a very great difference may be anticipated Her sails 

 are yet far from perfect, and her skipper is fresh from s. long service 

 in a boat of different type, and all things considered, we still pin our 

 faith to her as the leader of the four. . ..- t -±. 



Gitana, with her new bow, is going better, but still is unable to take 

 better than second place alongside of Fortuna, The latter was han- 

 dled well all day and added still further to her fame as a racer, In 

 second class Gevalia won with ease from her two competitors. 



Huron was doing well when her bobstay parted and crippled her. 

 Thetis was in the hands of her skipper (Mr. Bryant being on board of 

 Puritan), and he devoted himself mainly to showing how much sail 

 she could carry rather than how fast she could go. Bedouin wins 

 her third prize this year and is sailing far better than last season. 

 Stranger, too. shows a great improvement in ner new rig, making a 

 good race, though handicapped by an error of ot hers at the start. 

 Active came to grief aloft, but probably lost little by it m the strong 

 wind. At any rate, she held on and sailed a good race, though not a 

 winner. Clara led the class, of course, under Captain Barr s skillful 

 handling, and though she was poorly provided with opponents erne 

 came sufficiently alar the class above to show her real speed. Ulidia 



BOSTON CITY REGATTA, JULY 5. 



A LARGE fleet of yachts sailed in the annual city regatta on Mon- 

 day, in a good easterly breeze, the stare being made in a dense 

 fog. Stranger, Shadow, Lapwing, won easily in their classes, the 

 finish being closer with the smaller boats. The keel cutter Lapwing, 

 35Xl0x7ft., beats the keel sloop Mi'n; 33xi3x8ft , over half an hour, 

 while cutter JSolus pushed the latter closely. In the third class four 

 keel boats. Banneret, Lizzie F. Daly, Echo and Kitty were the lead- 

 ers, the two former beating all the centerboard boats. The times 

 were:
