Bult her on hofh occasions. No, it is as I said, the Galatea will be 

 like theGenesta, handicapped all tbe >vay through, partly of course 

 naturally, but much more so bv the race arrangements. You say 

 it is too expensive for the New York Y. C. to go to IMarblehead or 

 Newport. Now this Is something wonderful. The wealtj^ yacht club 

 of the most opulent city in those United States cannot afford to 

 venture so far off for a race as Marbleliead or Newport, while a 

 private gentleman, such as Sir Eichard Sutton or Lieut. Henn, 

 tliiuks nothing of comdng all the wa/ from England and submit- 

 ting to what must seem to him the extortionate charges of this 

 great and glorious republic. 



Surely your daily contemporary the World might start ti sub- 

 scription, or, if its whoh; energies are required for the obtainment 

 of the golden hatchet for Gladstone, I am sure the Britishers of 

 New York would gladly subscrilie tlie small sum reqtiired for the 

 absolutely necessary expenses connected with the races, and so 

 help the poor yacht club out of a difficulty. Of course it would 

 cost eacli member of the club a little more to go to Marblehead 

 than dowTi to the. Scotland Lightship; but each would feel the 

 money was expended exi luaiA ely on himself, and no arriire pensce 

 would remain as did in the case of the dinner so generously ten- 

 dered to Sir Ricliard Sutton by the club. 1 feel I ought to apolo- 

 gize to mysieit even for speaking of tlie making or saving of money 

 In connection with any, much less a so-called internatjonal, yacht 

 race. It savorH too much of the shop altogether, and when such 

 an agrcomont i.s put ftn'tli on behalf of a great yacht club, it may 

 indeed bo- very well said, "Qtii s'cxcuse s'acciwe." But, even so, 

 expeuse need bo no object. The groat Atlantic rolls ma.iestically 

 right in sight of the upper stories of your his/her city buildings, 

 and if you choose, nevertheless, tliat the most important of the 

 threa races lie saileii in tliat dumping ground called New York 

 Bay, you must not bo surprised thut— all vour protestations to tlie 

 C9ntrary notwithstandius— Britishers .■should feel that just a little 

 bit of the cloven hoof was being shown them. 



You say that the races ^vill be sailed in September when there 

 should be plenty of wind. Well, perhaps there should, but unless 

 my memory fails me it took several attempts lastSoptember before 

 wind enough could be whistled up to blow the Puritan and the 

 Geuesta along. However, we don't complain of the weather. That 

 is a thing neither side can control, tliough it may be partly calcu- 

 lated on, but unless what can be controlled— viz., the place of sail- 

 ing—is properly fixed, there will remain iu the minds of all true 

 sportsmen, oven after you have again proved you mean to hold the 

 cup, a wish that after all such large openings had not been left for 

 hostile criticism or even mere suspicion. In conclusion , there is no 

 spirit of mischief In speaking out boldly for the right and fair plav. 

 There is no use mincing matters and pretending that we Britishers 

 are pleased with the arrangements, though, of course, we have to 

 submit, as the game is in your own hands. 1 am a British citizen, 

 but were I an American I trust I sliotdd have honor enough left to 

 be ashamed that my country possessed a troph\- which requires 

 such tactics to insure its retention, and it is onlv because 1 hope 

 yet to see the issue fairly and squarely decided that I have felt 

 called upon to interfere in the matter at all. Daviu i'.EiD, Jr. 



ROSEbLE, N. J., Aug. 18. 



[The chief object of Mr. Reid's first letter seems to be to pro .^e 

 that the Geuesta races last year \\'ere "engineered all through" lo 

 secure a. victory for the American boat, an expression which, used 

 in this connection, implies to all racing men that unfair and dis- 

 honorable methods of winning were resorted to. This st atement 

 18 entirely unjust to the New York Y. C. and to the gentlemen to 

 whose charge the races were intrusted. We condemned the choice 

 of the inside course tlieu as we do now, and believe that it is bad 

 policy to select It; but those who saw the races must admit that 

 they were fairly and honestly conducted. If we read our corres- 

 pondent's first letter correctly, what he wanted to show bv figures 

 was not as stated above, that "the race referred to was all llukes 

 and drifts," but that a cutter beat the sloops over the New Y'ork 

 course. This is not proven by the times he quotes, as we all know that 

 Bedouin, Gracie <fe Co. have no place beside the big ones in a good 

 race, and that they cannot save their time. If he considers it proven 

 that Bedouin can beat the others over this course, why cannot 

 Galatea do the same? Our ob.1ccti(3n to the course as laid out for 

 this year is that it is really too rtuky and uncertain to give the 

 same chances to botii boats, rather than that it militates against 

 either one iu particular. Had Geuesta led two or three minutes at 

 the Lightship last year and the same at the Hook, it would have 

 V^'^^J?""***" "■^•^ ^'^^ thS't was fifteen minutes astern at Buoy 

 15. There is no need of going to Marblehead with the whole Atlan- 

 tic at our front door, and, in spite of Mr. Reid's arguments, there 

 are many reasons against it. As custodians-of the Cup, the club 

 ■naturally want tlie races where their members can see them. The 

 challenger is, of course, at some expense, but less prob- 

 ably than that of a season of t^venty or thirty races 

 »t home. The club, on the contrary, have been called on 

 for two years in succession to hold an expensive series of trial 

 races, to build one yacht, and to pay for two series of cup races 

 with the many incidental expenses, and while thev have done 

 this as a matter of course mthout complaint, they may fairly ob- 

 ject to a demand that they shall greatly increase the expense by 

 going to a strange part several hundred miles distant. The races 

 here, even with a day intervening between each, makes serious in- 

 roads on the time of a man whose duties on the Regatta Committee 

 or whose interest in yachting lead him to follow them, and it 

 would be still worse had he to go away entirely for a week or more. 

 As far as we know the owners of the boats which are likely to com- 

 pete do not want to sail over the inside course. Lieut. Hehn cer- 

 tainly does not, and all who are interested would be better satisfied 

 by tliree races outside. The New Y^ork Y. C. will do a graceful 

 thing and one that will in all probability cost them nothing, by 

 giving up this point and selecting an outside course for the first 

 race, a course that will be in every way fairer and safer for both 

 cornpetitors. With the fleet of steamboats and ocean steamers 

 which will accompany the race in any case there wUl be little pro- 

 bability that an outside race -svill be less easily seen than an inside 

 one, so that the claim that one race should be held over the club 

 course to accommodate the club members and ladies amounts to 

 nothing. On the other hand must be considered the serious chances 

 of damage to one or the other of the competitors, not of necessity 

 to the cutter, from the uncontrolled mob of tugs, stea,mboats, 

 yachts, oysterboats and craft of all kinds that will crowd over the 

 confined waters of the Lower Bay. Once on the broad ocean this 

 danger disa,ppears, and we hope that those intrusted with the 

 selection wiu see the propriety of a charge in the present pro- 

 gramme.] 



Editor Forest and Sfream.- 

 1 L^*^® ^I'^J^ Mr. DaTid Reid's letter, which you published iu your 

 letter of Aug. 5, Mr. Reid .saya in substance ^'that it was by a mere 

 prearranged class division that the other flyer, the Priscilla, was 

 not also placed after the cutter (Bedouin) in the late regatta of the 

 NewYorkY. 0." Permit me to correct this by stating that the 

 prearrangement was that Bedouin's entry was accepted bv Mr. 

 Chase, the Chairman of the Regatta Committee, sub.iect to re- 

 measurement. Bedouin, after the race^ was duly and ofHciaUy 

 meastired, and this measurement placed her bevond a doubt in the 

 first class. That she won fairly in that class is a matter of fact 

 and record. Yet the first class prize was awarded to PrisciUa.

AMERICAN Y, C. REGATTA. 



THE Regatta Committee of the American Y. C. have just issued 

 the following report of the late regatta, giving a complete 

 summary of these most important steam yacht races. Tlic A. Y 

 C. may well be proud of the races of 1885 and '86 as the finest 

 contests between steam yachts that have yet been held; and also 

 of the fact that it is the only club in the world devoted to steam 

 yachting, and that though of recent formation its success has 

 been marked by such contests. The entries this year were less 

 numerous tlian at first expected, but the fleet M'as equal in 

 other respects to any that has preceded it, in fact the work 

 of the club in the past three years has done much to raise 

 the standard m steam yachting, though there is stiU a very 

 wide field tor improvment both in style and eiHciency. 



It has often been contended that steam yacht racing could 

 not be mterestmg, but this seems completely disproved by the 

 experience of the A. Y. C. and their regattas attract hardly 

 less attention than many ot the sailing races. It is rather too 

 soon to expect after three seasons trial any great discoveries 

 or marked improvements in steam yachts, but the club has 

 every reason thus far to be proud of its success, a.nd guided bv 

 an able and energetic regatta committee it may look to still 

 greater results iu the near future. The fuU report of the com- 

 mittee is as follows: 



New York, July 20, 1886 -American T. C.-GenUemcn: Your 

 Regatta Committee respectfully presents the foRowing report of 

 the third annual regatta of the club with results: The run was 

 over the club course, from Larchmont to New London, passing 

 lighthouse off Stratford and Light Vessel off Bartlett's Reef to the 

 southward and eastward, terminating abreast of the Pequot House 

 pier. Length of course 8U knots. The stai-t from Larehmont was 

 arranged by classes and a different time of starting was fixed for 

 each class with tlie result that tlie longest and shortest yacht com- 

 peting, respectively 228ft. 9in. and 52ft. 9ia. on waterline, finished 

 off the Pequot House pier within SOsec. of each other. 



The yachts were signalled to start as follows: Those of 85ft. and 

 under at 8:20 A. M., from the flagship Lagonda. Those over 85ft. 

 and under 150 at 10:51 from the committee's steamer Cygnua. 

 Those of 150i't. and over at 12 noon from the Larchmont flagship 

 Schemer. 



The >rtnd during the course was fresh on the starboard beam. It 

 was high water at New London at 9:38 A. M. and at the starting 

 point, Larchmont, at 11:!?2 A. M. The third class yachts were not 

 as much favored by the tide as ware the first and second classes. 

 Five cups were offered for competition over tlie club couriae. One 

 was presented by Com. J. C. Hoagland for the shortest time over 

 the cour.se, irrespective of time allowance, and another was pre- 

 sented by ex-Rear-Com. W. E. Connor for th« winning boat under 

 the Haswell time allowance. 



The following table shows the results under the respective time 

 allowances as adopted for this year's regatta and also the result of 

 the race for the Commodore's Cup.

The yachts racing under time allowance proposed by C. E. 

 Emery, Ph.D., were divided into three classes. This time allow- 

 ance is based on the rule that the speed of a vacht in knots per 

 hour should equal 2 7-10 times the cube root of the length of the 

 yacht in feet on the waterline. 



Under the time allowance proposed by Mr. Charles H. HaswcU, 



/G C~ 



t" 73 '^^^ velocity of a vessel is assumed as the cube root 



of the quotient of the product of the area of her grate surface, and 

 the constaut due to the character of combustion, divided by the 

 cube root of the square of her gross tonnage. The constants being 

 for: Natural draught, 1; jet, 1.25; blast and exhaust, 1.6. G.=Grate 

 surface in square feet. C.=:Combu8tion. T.=Gross Custom House 

 tonnage. 



The Atalanta won three cups, bat under the rule that no vacht 

 shall be awarded more than one prize, and the owner having 

 elected to take the commodore's cup, your committee award the 

 prizes as follows: 



Commodore's cup. Atalanta. 



Cup under Haswell time aUowance Inanda. 



Cup under Emery time aUowance, for first class Y'osemlte. 



Cup under Emery time allowance, for second class Lagonda. 



Cup under Emery time allowance, for third class Nereid. 



The Meteor was disqualified for not going the coiu-se.

LARCHMONT Y^ C. OYSTER BOAT RACE. -The programme 

 for the race of oyster boats on Saturday is as follows: There will 

 be three classes: I. Cabin sloops, II. Open sloons. III. Catrigged 

 boats. Entries must be made in writing on or before Friday, Aug, 

 20, 1886, and addressed to the liegatta Committee at Larchmont, 

 N. i'., specifying the exact measurement on waterline. The sails 

 in this race will be restricted to jib, mainsail and working gafltop- 

 sails for sloops, and single mainsail for catrigged boats. A work- 

 ing gaff topsail is understood to mean the one ordinarily used. 

 Each boat will be given a number on the morning of the race, to- 

 gether with the sailing regulations. All boats will bo allowed to 

 carry one man for every 5ft. of sailing measurement or fraction 

 thereof, in addition to the captain. No baUast nor article of 

 weight can be taken in or put out, nor shall any article of weight 

 be stufted after the signal to start, and boats must bring back tho 

 same crew with which they start. Start— The start shall be a fly- 

 ing one for all classes. The stai-ting line .shall be an imaginary 

 one drawn from the easterly pagoda on the shore at the entrance 

 to Larchmont Harbor, to a stakeboat flying the club flag and 

 anchored in a southeasterly direction from the pagoda. Course— 

 The course for aU classes shall be from Larchmont, to and around 

 the Red and Black horizontal striped buoy at the west end of Exe- 

 cution Reef, passing the same on the port hand; thence to and 

 around the black buoy off Matiunicock Point, passing same on 

 port hand: thence to and around a stakeboat anchored south of 

 Captain's Island, passing the same on the port hand; thence to the 

 finishing line, which shall be between E.xecution Light and Sands 

 Point buoy, about nineteen nautical miles. Competing boats must 

 not pass between any of the buoys on Execution Reef and the 

 lighthouse on the reef, nor to the westward of AVhortleberry 

 Island, nor between the buoys on Hen and Chickens Reef, and 

 must keep on the proper side of all buoys not above specified. All 

 competing boats must bo oyster boats regularly engaiged in that 

 business. Boats used for taking out pleasure parties will not be 

 aUowed to enter. The allowance in Classes I. and II. -will be IJ^m. 

 to the foot. Class HI. IJ^m. to the foot. The measurement for all 

 time allowance MiU be length on waterline. This measurement 

 should be caref uUy taken, for no prize will be awarded to any boat 

 until after she has been measured by the club measurer. Should 

 any owner's measurement be found to be less than the boat actu- 

 ally measures she shall forfeit all claims to the prize. AU boats 

 intending to compete must be anchored oft" Larchmont club house 

 at 9:20 on the morning of the race, to receive instructions from the 

 Regatta Committee. The Regatta Committee reserve the right to 

 refuse any entry, and to rule out any sail not in accordance with 

 the rules. There will be no restrictions as to the time in which 

 race shall be sailed. The prizes are: Class I.— First prize, $75; sec- 

 ond prize, $35. Class II.— First prize, $50; second prize, .ftSO. Class 

 III.— First prize, §40; second prize, 82-5. No prizes will be paid on 

 the day of the race. Checks wiU be sent to the -winners as soon as - 

 possible thereafter, and the result wiU be announced in the daily 

 papers. All protests must be made in writing to the Regatta 

 Committee at Larchmont before 6 o'clock P. M. on the secoiid day 

 after the race, Aug. 23, 1886. Should the finish be after dark, aU 

 boats must cross the line near enough to the stakeboat (which will 

 be anchored close to Sands Point buoy and marked by a red light), 

 lo be hailed and give their respective numbers. E. J. Greacen,

CAROLINA Y. C. REGATTA, AUGUST 6.-The regular August 

 regatta of the Carolina Y. C. was sailed over the usual course on 

 Aug. 6. On account of bad weather and sickness of owners but 

 six yachts competed, and started in following order:

The wind was from S. S. E„ and at fli-st moderate but freshened 

 during race. The finish was as follows: 



Ripple 2.53 33 Restless 2 55 25 



QJide 2 54 37 Lulie 2 55 57 



Lillian Florence 2 55 04 Rosa 2 66 00 



The Ripple takes flag iu first class and GUde in second. Time of 

 Ripple Ih. 20m. 20s., the best on record in club. The race was in- 

 teresting and exciting throughout, as the yachts hung close to- 

 gether all the time. 



ACCIDENT TO THE KATIE GRAY.-About midnight on Aug. 

 7^ as the j achts Katie Gray and Cricket were passing Nine-Mile 

 Point side by side, carrying balloon sails, the masthead shroud 

 hook pulled out of the Gray and was immediatelv followed by the 

 dismasting of the yacht. The Cricket immediatelv hove to and 

 after the wreck was cleared towed the Gray to Oswego. A new 

 spar which has been on hand in Ciuse of accident was stepped at 

 once.

 Big Four," I will gamble myself all away that Britain can't fur- 

 nlsh four cutters that, m an ocean race of 100 miles, can beat them 

 on aggregate time. "Lucky accidents ?" Scarcely. Lightning 

 clou't strike so many times consecutively in one place. No matter 

 what is required, in war or peace, a cheese box or a racing yacht, 

 we seem to get there.— Nessmuk. 



BUFFALO Y. C. CRUISE.-On Aug. 10 a race was sailed at Port 

 Dover over alS-mile course, in honor of the Buffalo Y. C. fleet in 

 port on their cruise. The starters were Alarm, SUvia, Curlew, 

 Jewett, Vera, Turk, Emma, Growler. Alarm won in first class 

 with Vera second and Curlew third. Turk won in second class, 

 Avith Growler next. In the evening a baU was given in honor of 

 the visitors. 



ANOTHER CAPSIZE.-Our list last week has been increased 

 by the capsize of the centerboard sloop Frolic, in Boston Harbor, 

 with a list of four or five drowned. If we are not mistaken this 

 craft is of the same famUy as two other notorious death traps, 

 whose records are only too well knowTi. Can any of our corres- 

 pondents say where the Frolic was built and when? 



STILL THEY COINIE.-It is not improbable that Mar jorie, Lenore 

 and one of the flying fives may soon "go west," while Kriemhdlda 

 will fly an American ensign and hail from New Y'ork soon.
