September Weather. 



The peculiarities of model of the challenger and defender of 1895 in 

 dlcate that while the former was designed with special reference to 

 such light weather as nearly all of the past Cup races have been 

 sailed in, the latter was designed in no small degree for such weather 

 as marked the latter half of the last Cup race of 1893. Considering 

 the differences in the two yachts, so far as they are now known, it is 

 probable that the weather may prove the great factor in determining 

 the result. The New York Evening Sun has compiled the following 

 interesting table, showing the force and direction of the wind and the 

 state of the weather during the second week in September for the 

 past ten years:

Hempstead Harbor Y. C. 



GLEN COVE — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 



Saturday, July IS. 

 The Hempstead Harbor Y. C, of Glen Cove, L. I., sailed its annual 

 regatta on July 13 with a fleet of 26 starters. The courses were: For 

 all over 18ft., from the starting line off the club house around the red 

 spar buoy on the easterly end of Execution Reef, thence around the 

 spar buoy off Matinnicock Point, and thence to the line, distance 12 

 miles. The smaller yachts rounded Execution Reef and returned, 

 distance 9 miles. 



The weather was unfavorable. In the morning a very severe storm 

 passed over the Sound and the upper part of New York city, the hail 

 and rain doing much damage, and in the afternoon another hard 

 thunder squall overtook the fleet. The start was made at 1:55 from 

 the gun. The times were:

 fleet, turning two minutes ahead. She held the lead Ave miles in wind- 

 ward work, when the wind shifted to the beam, and Learig passed her, 

 getting around the Newcastle mark two minutes ahead. The others 

 were far astern. Oriana caught and passed Learig on the reach

BEING THE LOG OF A SUMMER GIRL. 



July 1.— To-day I was 18. I think I shall >eep a diary this summer. 

 Mommer says she kept one when she was 18, and she was married in 

 less than a year after she began it. A diary is a Dear Thing, because 

 you can say anything you please to it, and it won't tell. Your friends 

 always tell.- Mommer says. Bought a new silk waist to-day. It was a 

 Bargain. I look very well in it. I have some new tan-colored gloves. 

 Never looked better than I do this summer. Am going to get a skirt 

 for my gown, to match the waist. I look very well in pink. 



July 2.— Got the skirt. It is a Love. Must hurry to get it made. I 

 am looking very well to-day. Mommer says I mustn't wrinkle my 

 forehead in thought, for the wrinkles will stay. How can I think 

 without wrinkling? But Mommer says it is not necessary to think. 

 Got two pair of russet shoes and a white yachting cap to-day. Mom- 

 mer says sailor hats are common. Think I look well in organdies or 

 cool stuffs of the sort. Memo, that I owe Pop $7.30 over my allow- 

 ance. Dear old Pop. Wonder if 20 is too old to marry. 



July 3.— Oh, glory, you dear diary. Mommer says I can go to Bal- 

 last Island after al), to the canoe meeting. She says that Put In Bay 

 is not desirable for me, but that if I visit Mrs. B. on the Island I shall 

 be in the way of meeting some very eligible young men, and besides 

 be doing a very correct thing in putting in part of the summer. 

 Bought a new parasol to-day. It is very becoming. My new silk 

 handkerchiefs have a narrow border of blue. I hope there will be a 

 good many of those canoeists. 



July 4.— Most of the people that I inow have been eating ice cream 

 and firing off fire crackers to-day, but I spent the day packing my 

 things. They say there are a good many of those canoeists who come 

 to Ballast Island. I know it is going to be awfully poky, for of course 

 they will be off sailing, or something, all the time. Mommer says 

 most of the canoes are tco small for two and besides, the man has to 

 be busy all the time with ropes or things, and can't talk much. Got a 

 new girdle to-day. with the clasp silver and turquoise, because I am 

 still young. Think I shall wear the Marquise ring uncle Doc. gave me. 

 My new hose have blue clocks. Mommer says not to use cold cream 

 very much. The proper thing is to get brown and tanned. 



July 6.— Here I am at Ballast with Mrs. B. Dear me ! such a day. 

 Those canoeists have begun to come. About twenty of them came 

 over on the tug. They shouted and sang and carried on so we thought 

 at first it was one of those horrid labor riots. But they say they come 

 of excellent families. Their tents are in a row over on the other side 

 of the island, large tents with board floors. They have their meals all 

 cooked up at the sort of hotel place. Each tent has a box behind it, 

 why? Those men sang pretty near all night. Mrs. B. said it reminded 

 her of old times, She got out her prettiest gown for to-morrow. 

 Wonder if that woman thinks she is going to be in it with me. Why, 

 she must be 35, if she's a day. My nose is sore to-night. The sun was 

 very warm. 



July 7.— Some more of those men came. There are a lot of those 

 little boats they call canoes. They keep them up on the grass, I pre- 

 sume so they won't get scratched. It would be too bad to spoil 

 them. The men put up their sails on the trees. They keep 

 fixing at the sails and things. I presume they can get at 

 them better on the grass. Mrs. B. and I happened to stroll over that 

 way this afternoon. Those men look very nice in knickerbockers and 

 Tarn O'Shanters. I will wear my Tarn O'Shanter to-morrow. A most 

 remarkable thing happened. A very bold young man with lovely dark 

 eyes and a brown moustache was coming around from behind the 

 tent, where I saw him looking down into the box, and he saw Mrs. B. 

 and me, and though he hadn't a thing on his arms he just spoke up to 

 us as if he had been introduced. "Good evening, ladies," he said, as 

 if he was waiting for us. Mrs. B. answered him, and that man invited 

 us to sit down on the grass, and he sat down too, and he went to talk- 

 ing as if he had always known us. Can this bs what they call flirting ? 

 I am not sure. Mommer says flirting is not much account. Mrs. B. 

 said this was one of the customs of the canoe camp. It certainly saves 

 much time and formality. Believe I am going to like Ballast. 



July 8.— Mrs, B. and I happened to stroll over toward the canoe 

 camp again to-day. The same dark young man saw us and was walk- 

 ing toward us, when another young man, light complexioned, with a 

 yellow moustache, ran in ahead of him and said "Good evening, 

 ladies." Am quite sure I never met him. The canoe men's ways are 

 very odd, yet I am- not sure I dislike them, Talked two hours with 

 the light young man. His moustache is cute. 



July 9.— Have found out why they leave the sails hanging in the 

 trees. It is because they make lovely shady places where one can sit 

 and talk without seeing anyone else. The dark young man said they 

 kept ice in the boxes behind the tents, and that they had 

 to go there so often to see if the ice was not melting pretty 

 fast, it was so warm. I think the canoes look sweet up on 

 the grass, they are so new and shiny. The men call a 

 canoe "Her." Asked why they did this, and a young 

 man with glasses said it was because a canoe was the next nicest 

 thing in the whole wide world. The young man with glasses is nice. 

 His eyes are a very lovely blue. I wonder if he is married. I cannot 

 tell by looking at these men whether they are married or not. Mom- 

 mer says never to waste time with married men at summer places. I 

 looked very sweet to-day, much better than that horrid girl from the 

 East. The light young man talked with her some. I shall not speak 

 to him any more. To-night those canoe men are singing songs around 

 the fire. They sing pretty glees and choruses. This was a warm 4ay. 

 The ice needed much watching, but I think they saved some of it, for 

 I heard one ask, "How's she holding out, Johnnie?" and he said, "Oh, 

 pretty well; but you wait till the gang from the far North gets here." 

 Wonder what he meant. Mommer says I must always find out abou*' 

 a young man's prospects. I think all these young men must be cf 

 easy circumstances, their manners are so perfectly easy. Five more 

 of them spoke to me to-day. I think the young man they call Fred 

 looks lovely in knickerbockers. He is a very good figure of a man.
