INTERLAKE Y. A. CRUISE AND RACES. 



THE fir.st annual meet of the Interlake Yachting Association, 

 held at Detroit and Pnt-iii-Bay from July 5 to 11 inclusive^ 

 was -without doubt the largest and most successful meeting ot 

 yachtsmen ever held on fresh water, and one that would have been 

 a credit to many of the older clubs of the eastern coast. Organ- 

 ized only last season by the Cleveland, Toledo and Michigan yacht 

 clubs, it'has since added to its list the (Jhio, Pnt-in-Bay and Alon- 

 roe cduhs, proliably being the direct means of the formation of the 

 last named two, and now has enrolled upon its membership regis- 

 ter upward of tlOU active members, and a flec;t consisting of 12 

 steam yachts, 10 selmoners, of! sloops £ind 4 cutters. The object of 

 this Association is to bring together annually, for one week at 

 least, all the yacht cT.ibs of the lakes, and by' liolding regattas, 

 squadron sails, atTernoon cruises, etc., not only create a more ex- 

 tended acquaintanceship among yachtsmen but also promote 

 yachting interests in general. 



The annual cruise of Ibis -i ;:, >" '.nicned on :\Iouda)-, .Inly 5, with 

 a regatta for the second . .1.1 rifth (dasses, on Lake St. Clair, 



but owing to an extrenr. i ., igb reosoc the yacht s f.a.iled to make 

 the course in the prescrii-.cd 1 ini.-, l-au\ tlie race had to be rcsailed 

 on the following day. On. some ,.;eeonnls this was a disappoint- 

 ment to many; but, taken upon tin wliole, perhaps the postpone- 

 ment was beneficial to the Interlake, for it enabled the judges to 

 start the largest number of yachts in one regatta over kno"?n to 

 the lakes, t he race for first and rliird chisses having also been set 

 for that day, thereby greatly increa.sin,£i- the number of starters. 

 The cour.sc sailed was twenty-one miles in length, triaiiguhu'shape, 

 starting from a buoy off Grosse Point, Lake St. Clair, thence seven 

 miles due east to and around astalceboat, Ihence seven miles N.W. 

 by N. 14. N. to second stakeboat, thence se\'en miles S.V/. by S. i^S. 

 to and across the starting line. The fifth class, to iuid around only 

 the first stakeboat and return. The wind at tlie start was about 

 S.S.W. and at the rate of about six miles an hour. At 1 1 :02 the first 

 gun was fired and ten minutes later the starting .gun announced 

 that the time for the second, fourth and lifth classes to cross the 

 line was at hand and that only ten minutes would ela.pse before 

 the last gun for those classes and t.lie starting gun for tlie first a.nd 

 third classes wonld be .tjiven. At 11:32 the final gun was fired. The 

 first leg \\'as sailc-d with booms well o\'er to port, but upon nearing 

 the first. ST.ikeboat the wind flattened out almost to a dead calm. 

 Howe-. of the leaders managed to drift round tliat mark, 



wla : - t .^eze from the southeast sot in and sent them away 

 for :.• • •:.Ve with, spinnakers set to starboard. The breeze 

 coiitimK-d lo ri eshen, a.nd, after turning this stake, haded around 

 to tlie sriulhwest, requiring- a bear home.

On J,Imul,=-y evening there was a grand display of fireworks from 

 the eid.ire th-et at the aiKdioragi; of the Michigan Y. 0., at Detroit, 

 aiid refreslnncnis were Htrvcd at the club house. On Tuesday 

 eveniii"- tlie vaeldsmen ass-ndjled at the same place for the report 

 of the' jndges and distribction of prizes. The affairs at .Detroit 

 were nndei- the ,ni-pices of the Alichigan Y. C, ami ^reat credit is 

 due flu: ollicei-s and meinbei-s of that orgniuzc.,ti»>t» for the cornpc-

 teons manner in which Ihcyaebtsmcn worn r.-«H-iv..-d and ciilcr- 

 tained during their stay at thPt port. . , , 



AVednesdav, July 7, at 10:30 A. i.L., with the llagship Louise lead- 

 ing, the flr-el' sta.rtcd on their squadron crviso to the .Lake Erie 

 Islands, a distance of .50 miles, the orders down the river bcmg 

 "flagship will lead, other vessels follow," bnt on reaching Bar 

 Point, or the mouth of Detroit Kivcr, the orders were changed to 

 ".sail fliroct for I'iif-in-B:i\ ," and llieii commeneod a grand race 

 across t bn lake. The wind up to this time had been light from the 

 nortlieast, 1ml lipreit increased to a gale, tlie Signal Serviee re- 

 portinu- it a,s blowing at the rate of 35 to 40 miles 1.10 v hour, .and 

 .srmieof tbe sur lier" craft, thinking discretion the better part of 

 ■; jilor. put back to Amlierstbarg for the night. However, about 

 35 of IJie boats ventured acro.s.s, some scndilmg under stays.arls, 

 somewitli peaks dropped and others under close-reefed canva.s, 

 the wind beim,' well aft and sea very hea^ y. _ 



The lai'ire sloop (.'on-, was lirst to drop anchor m the b.ay, at "i:4;j 

 P. IvT., followed three minutes la ter by the new Cleveland sloop 

 Marietta, and at 7:15 the fialanec of the tleet began to arrive, with 

 the Alice Enright. of the Toledo Y. C, in the lead. As tlie Cora, 

 by permission of the Commodore, had left Detroit Bivcr fully lifty 

 niinutes in advance of the squadron, it wa,s a decided victory for 

 the new lioat on actual sailing time, altiiough tiic Cora is 20ft. 

 longiu- on (be waterline, and the honors in lirst class were awarded 

 accord iniilv. Among the second class ya.eids vJie Alice Kn right, a 

 new denp draft sloop hnilt for Oom. A. iVIaclien, of the Toledo 

 Y. C sliowed the greatest sjioed and the best seagoing qualities, 

 having fairly outsailed all vaelits in her class, .and her .actua.l sail- 

 in"- timi> bi'.i'nt; elose to tliat of the first class lioafs. The .Jennie J., 

 of' Detroit, a tleep keel sloon, and the Ida, of C^levelaud, were the 

 onlv third cl.ass yachts to a.ttempt the long run across the hike, 

 the' remainder, together vdth all the fourth and fifth classes, hav- 

 ing put in at the mouth of the ri\'er for the night. 



In ibe evening a grand i.iall ^vas given at Ivehbcrg's, on INiiddle 

 Biiss Island. Tliur.sday was ladies' day, the yachts cruising among 

 the islands during the afternoon and closing with a complimentai-y 

 hop and concert in the evening at the Toledo clubhouse, also on 

 Middle F5ass. 



Friday, the proverbial unbick-' day among sailors, was the time 

 sot for a regatta for the second, fonrth and fifth classes, but owing 

 lo lack of wind it met with the same fate as the first day's regatta 

 at Lake St. Clair, and had to be sailed on the following day. 



Saturdi'V opened ^vith a fine whole-sail hree^.a from the north, 

 bnt gratiuallv died out until some narts of the coiu'se were but a 

 driftintc match. However, to a \ old anv futlier postponement^ the 

 l ommii tee waived tbe time limit (live hours and a quarter) and de- 

 clared the race a finish, allhongh the fastest time over the course 

 was 6 bonrs and aOinin. The course for first and second classes 

 was from a stake boat oil ttibr^ilfar Lsland 7 miles N. N. W.,

At the finish the v iud had become so liglit that the judges did 

 not vait to take tlie time of many of the yachts. 



On Friday ev ening tlve yachtsmen and their lady friends enjoyed 

 a grand hop at W'eliile'a, and. on Satui-day e^■eniug the annual 

 meet closed with a b;ill and banquet at the Beebe House, given by 

 the Pnt-in-Bay Y. C., on vhich occasion the prizes won in the 

 regattas were awarded. 



The arrangements at the Islands were under the auspices of the 

 I'vit-in-Bay Y. C and the manner in «'hich their plans were 

 carried on't \vas certainly \ery creditable to them and snowed they 

 had been energetic in their efforts to make tlieir part a success. 

 During the weeli the annual uieetin.ii: of the board of directors of 

 the Inier-kake Aaelittng Association was held and th.e following 

 otticers and committee were elected t o ser\'e for the following year, 

 ■^ iz,: Commodore, Hon. ii. ^V. (Gardner, Cleveland; Vice-Commo- 

 dore, Henry C. Hart, Detroit; Rear Commodore, A. AN'. Machen, 

 Toledo; Secretary and Treasurer, J. S. Y\'illiams, Cleveland; Fleet 

 Surgeon, Dr. A. E. Claypool. Toledo; INleasuror. E. P. Day, Toledo; 

 AssTstant Measurer, A. . Albertson, Detroit; Surveyor, M. T. 

 Huntley, Toledo. Regatta Comnutlee— Fred Fayram, Aitchigan Y. 

 C; W. "Scoit Robinson, (dcveland Y. C; J. W. Hepburn, Toledo Y. 

 C; M. A. Quinn, Ohio Y. C; G. H. Beebe, Put-in-Bay Y. C. The 

 ne^^dy elected board of directors will meet at difl:e.rent periods 

 during the winter and arrange for the annual cruise of 1887. 

 Several other clubs on the lakes have already signified their inten- 

 tions of joining the Associat on, and it is expected that next sea- 

 son will see a fleet twice the size of the one present this year.

THE FOUR. RACERS.— Puritan is still about Naushon and New 

 Bedford, but will dock at Fairhaven on Friday. Mayflower is at 

 IMarblcliead and Atlantic at Bay Ridge. Prvscilla -was on Lissen- 

 den's raJlwity at Elm Park last week, where her bottom was 

 thoroughly cleaned and painted with red lead, afterward being 

 potleaded, so that it is now in good condition for future ftrd.shing 

 with more potlead. Her mast is a very handsome stick, perfectly 

 clear from heel to hounds. The iron bail f or jibstay has been re- 

 placed by a steel wire rope strap, and the boom traveler has also 

 been remox cd to make w;i.y for a wire strap around boom and 

 block. Her sails, gear and outfit arc being improved Ln all possi- 

 ble details, and the way she is kept up is a credit to her owmer and 

 captain. She is now sailing about the hay daily from her moor- 

 .ngs oil Clif ton.
