The race was started with the wind blowing about 2 to 3 miles, 

 which continued until the boats had traveled about miles of 

 the course, from then until about 5:45 it was nothing but a drift- 

 ing match, with the Enright far in the lead, at that time a very 

 severe rain and wind squall came up which made a very exciting 

 finish. Regatta Committee, H. D. Williams, Geo. G. Smythe and

BANNERET AND IONE.— The owner of the keel sloop Ban- 

 neret has issued the following challenge through the Boston 

 Gl'ihe: "In the city of Boston open regatta July 4 the Banneret 

 lost the first prize for the first time in seven consecutive years, 

 being defeated by the lone. Feeling that the race was lost, not by 

 being outsailed, but as the result of several unfortunate mishaps, 

 I take this opportunity to challenge the owner of the lone to sail 

 the raw again for a cup of a value of not less than the July 4 

 prize. If preferable, I will make the match over an outside course 

 to windward and return under the same rules, and if Banneret is 

 defeated will pay the racing expenses of the lone. I will sail 

 either with professional or corinthian crews.— J. F. Brown, owner 

 keel sloop Banneret (Boston, JiiTv 9, 1887). 



TITAN I A— SH AM ROCK MATCH, JULY 7. 



1MIE close racing between the two new boats of the year, Sham- 

 J. rock and Titan i a, in the spring regattas, has created a great 

 deal of interest in the match made between them, over a month 

 since. The conditions were that the race should be from Sandy 

 Hook Lightship fifteen miles to windward or leeward and return, 

 for 8500 a side. On July 7, the day set, both were taken by the 

 Luckenbach and towed to the start, arriving about 10:30. The 

 wind was south, a good breeze, and there was some sea left after 

 the bad weather of the previous days, but not enough to trouble 

 the boats. The tug took her place to the eastward of the Lightship, 

 and at 10:55 blew the preparatory whistle. Both yachts were 

 under lower sail and working topsails, with spinaker booms on 



.... 11:06:17. The pair stood inshore, running up small jibtop- 

 sails, Shamrock outfooting her rival. The wind held moderate 

 and steady, with no puffs, but at 11:40 Shamrock's topmast, a new 

 one, went at the hounds. The topsail was kept on her, and she 

 held her course until 12:05, when below Seabright, where she went 

 on starboard tack. Titania followed suit. The latter also took in 

 jibtopsail, but was gaining all the time, although Shamrock was 

 doing wonderfully well, considering her crippled condition. At 

 12:54 Shamrock went on port tack, and Titania followed, but the 

 white yacht at once paitf off and started for the Hook, lowering 

 her mainsail aud taking in two reefs as she did so. Her mast had 

 also sprung at the hounds and she was unable to continue the race. 

 The press tug which was following the race at once took her^ in 

 tow, while Titania continued and sailed over the course, winning 

 the stakes. The mishap was due to the lower mast, which was of 

 white pine. It buckled and so sprung the topmast. Both will be 

 replaced by Oregon pine, the new mast being 2ft. shorter. 



HALIFAX JUBILEE REGATTA, AUG. 16-18. 



MR. F, C. SUMICHRAST, an old correspondent, and one of the 

 sailing committee of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, 

 has lately been in New York, after a visit to Boston, in the inter- 

 ests of the coming regatta at Halifax. The date has been finally 

 settled, Aug. 16 to 18, as the most convenient time for the New 

 York and Boston fleet, as July is taken up with several club 

 cruises. The leading events thus far settled after these cruises 

 are: Aug. 3, start of N. Y. Y. C. cruise; Aug. 6, Goelet cups, at 

 Newport; Aug. 12 (about), Eastern Y. C. regatta, Marblenearl. 

 This latter eveut will bring the combined fleet to Marblehead, and 

 if no postponement is necessary the yachts will be ready to sail on 

 Aug. 13 for Halifax, a distance of 400 miles. At that season clear, 

 fair weather and strong S.W. winds are the rule, and the fleet 

 should cover the distance in time for the first day's racing, the 

 16th. The trial races at New York are not likely to take place 

 before the first week in September, so there will be time to get 

 back for them, and to stop at Bar Harbor for the regatta of Aug. 

 25. The full programme of the regatta has not been completed, 

 but the races will be under the rules of the New York Y. C, and 

 there will be good prizes, while yachtsmen may be sure of a hearty 

 welcome. The R. N. S. Y r . S. is desirous of having a large fleet 

 from the United States, and will make every effort to entertain 

 the visitors suitably, so all may be sure of a pleasant cruise. 

 There promises now'to be plenty of racing from the beginning of 

 the New York cruise, and those who start will certainly want to 

 go to Marblehead, and from there to Halifax. 



THE LOSS OF THE WAVE. 



THE centerboard yacht Wave is well-known to New York 

 yachtsmen, as she attained some prominence from the races 

 with Madge in 1881. She has been owned for some time by 

 Stephen Cuoper of New York, who on Saturday last started in her 

 on a cruise to Nantucket in company with three friends, C. A. 

 Jones, H. T. Terhune and A. F. Denyse. When off New Haven on 

 Sunday afternoon a heavy squall struck the yacht, heeling her so 

 that the oil stove in the galley was capsized and exploded, setting 

 fire to the yacht. Among the stores was a keg of powder, and out 

 of consideration for it the crew quickly jumped into the gig and 

 cast off, Mr. Jones wanting to secure some money and narrowly 

 escaping. By the time they were well clear the powder exploded, 

 blowing the deck off. The party in the boat had a hard time, 

 partly swamped and drifting about in the squall, but after three 

 hours they were picked up by the schooner Lydia Chestine, and 

 landed in'Ne w Haven. They hired a tug aud hunted up the wreck, 

 vrtpeh was burned to the water. On their return to New Haven 

 they were each obliged to purchase a complete outfit of clothing. 

 A considerable sum of money and the watches and other valuables 

 were left behind in the hurry. The Wave was built in 1878 by 

 Gorman for John Dimon, and was afterward owned by Dr. 

 Barron. 



UNIFORM RACING RULES. 



THE disqualifying of Titania in the Larchmont regatta fur- 

 nishes a strong instance of the faulty condition of racing 

 rules. The general regulation as to crews is one man to every 

 5ft. of length on deck, but in the L. Y. C. it is one for 5ft. of cor- 

 rected length. The difference was overlooked by Titauia's owner 

 and too many men were carried, the result being that the race 

 was lost. It is immaterial whether the allowance be based on 

 one length or the other, but it is most important that the rule 

 be the same in all clubs. Rules are necessary evils which may 

 be made lighter by having them as few and simple as possible, 

 so that the same thing is done in the same way in every club. 

 Yachtsmen are beginning to realize the importance of these 

 matters aud the tinie has come for a general agreement among 

 the leading clubs. Of course this cannot be done just now, but 

 it should be attended to in the winter, before another season 

 begins. 



EMPIRE Y. C. 11TH ANNUAL REGATTA.— On July 11, the 

 11th annual regatta of the Empire Y. C. was sailed, the course 

 for all but Olass G being around the Gangway Buoy, this class 

 turning Throgg's Neck Buoy. The wind was strong northwest 

 all day. Tip Top carried away her jib, Sophia Emma her gaff, 

 and Growler was run down by the steamer Sylyan Dell, her 

 crew jumping aboard the steamer but afterward continuing the 

 race. The times were :

 presented to Capt. Barr on his arrival at Liverpool by Capt. J. 

 Freear, of the steamer Harkaway: "To the captain, rttlicers and 

 crew of the yacht Thistle: Liverpool, June. 1887. We, the under- 

 signed, survivors of the crew of the steamship Harkaway of Lon- 

 don, which foundered off the Smalls on the morning of the 20th of 

 May, 1887, beg respectfully to offer you our heartfelt thanks for 

 the timely and gallant, rescue which you effected when we were 

 in a most dangerous and exhausted condition, having been nearly 

 ten hours in the lifeboat full of water, and the sea breaking con- 

 tinually over us. We also wish to express ourselves in the warm- 

 est possible terms of admiration for the able and seamanlike man- 

 ner in which your vessel was handled under most trying circum- 

 stances, the wind being still blowing a gale from the west north- 

 west, with a very heavy cross sea, and also for the very kind 

 treatment which we received from all on board from the time we 

 were rescued until we were landed at Cowes, two days later. 

 Wishing you Godspeed in all your undertakings, and a prosperous 

 career in your magnificent yacht Thistle, we remain, yours sin- 

 cerely, J. Freear, Master; Richard Smith, Mate; Stephen Ro- 

 UEltGE, A. B. S."
