SOUTHERN Y. C. REGATTA. 



THE Southern Y. C, of New Orleans, sailed its first regatta of 

 the season on May 16, the racing being most successful. The 

 course was 15 miles, three times around a 5-mile triangle, with 

 a fresh southerly wind, the day being fair and warm. The 

 starters were:

 The old anchor start was for the first time abandoned by the 

 club, and a start under way substituted, the change being a'very 

 marked improvement. The course was a rather trying one for 

 the crews, the legs being so short that sail was constantly shifted. 

 Starting with spinakers set, the cabin boats made a close race for 

 the first mark, Zoe over the line first, but following Susie B. 

 around the first mark, with Edith last, but on the last leg she 

 took second place. The first round was timed:

ROCHESTER Y. C— The opening cruise occurs on May 29, the 

 objective point being Sodus Bay. This will also be the first club 

 race of the season as the yachts will race on their way down. At 

 Sodus Bay the Oswego Y. C. will be met and a very pleasant time 

 is anticipated. The time for returning will probably be May 31. 

 As the Rochester Y. C. has now a membership of 150 and a fleet of 

 40 yachts, a large turnout is expected. Those members who are 

 not attacbed to any yacht will be placed by Com. Newell on the 

 morning of the cruise. It is hoped that the cutters Madge and 

 Majel, recently bought by the members of the club, will reach 

 here in time to participate in the opening cruise. The yacht 

 Majel, flag-ship of the Rochester Y. C, sailed from Boston on May 

 5, touching at Hull on 6th, Robinstown on 8th, and after severe 

 storm and fog through 9th, 10th and 11th reached Vineyard Haven 

 atnoon, May 12. Touched at New London on 14th, Huntington 16th, 

 arrived at New York on 17th. Reached Albany on 19th, and is 

 now passing through the canal, en route to Oswego. The ti-ip 

 from Boston to New York was very stormy with head winds and 

 fog. Com. Newell, of the Rochester Y. C, was in command; with 

 Vice-Corn. Walbridge, Capt. H. S. Mackie. J. G. Cramer and Jno. 

 T.Roberts. The Majel is expected in Oswego by May 24, where 

 she will be met and escorted to Rochester by several of the local 

 yachts. 



YACHT RACING IN AUSTRALIA,— We have received the 

 programme of an international regatta to be held in November 

 next at Port Phillip, Melbourne, during the holding of the cen-

 cellent water for racing in all sizes of vessels and the programme 

 includes some thirty races, the principal one being open to all 

 yachts, keel or centerboard, the first prize being £500 and a gold 

 anchor valued at 100 guineas. Particulars may be obtained of 

 the secretary of the international regatta committee, Mr. J. C. 

 Snodgrass, Melbourne Australia.

 some informal races in Boston Bay shortly, as Mr. Burgess wishes 

 to test the two together. 



LAKE Y. R. A.— The annual meeting of the Lake Y. R. A.

 Class 1, over 30ft.; class 2, over 36 to 50£t.; class 3, over 25 to 36ft.; 

 class 4, 25ft. and under. Each yacht will have a fixed number 

 assigned to her to avoid the confusion of new numbers for every 

 race. The round of regattas for 1888 was arranged as follows: 

 Kingston, July 13; Belleville. July 16; Oswego, July 20; Rochester, 

 July 23; Hamilton, July 28; Toronto, July 30; Royal Canadian,

DELAWARE RIVER.-Messrs. J. H. Gibson and Frank G. 

 Rogers are having built two launches for use on Moosehead Lake. 

 Mr. Gibson's boat, the Susan, is 33ft. 6in. on deck, 30ft. Lw.l., 5ft. 

 llin. beam extreme, oft. 8J^m. beam at l.w.l., with 6 h.p. Shipman 

 engine. The other launch, the Sidney, is 26ft. on deck, 23it. l.w.l., 

 5ft. 6in. extreme beam, 5ft. 4}4in. at l.w.l. Both boats are fitted 

 with ample air tanks and will have the Buffalo wheel. The 

 builder is Mr. John Beeket, who recently purchased the boat 

 houses and boats at Cooper's Point from the estate of the late 

 David Volke, to which will be added a convenient boat shop. Mr. 

 Becket makes steam launches a specialty, although his success 

 as a tuckup builder and in other types of sailboat is well known. 

 He originated the bolt rope measurement, that has proved the 

 best equalizing rule for small boats, and was commended by the 

 Forest and Stream. He has come over to Jersey to stay, and 

 will be an acquisition to the locality. May his tent never blow 

 down.— R. G. W.
