THE STEAM YACHT " W. B." 



THE new steam yacht herewith illustrated was launched on 

 May 28 at the yard of her designer, Dr. C. D. Miller, at Pough- 

 keepsie, N, Y. She was built for Mr. W. B. Hayden, of Columbus, 

 O., for use on the St. Lawrence River, and is similar, though 

 larger, to Indienne, by the same designer, whose plans were 

 lately published in the Forest and Stream. The - W. B." is 

 87ft. over all, 79ft. 6in. l.w.l., 13ft. beam and 4ft. 6in. draft, with a 

 triple expansion engine and Roberts's coil boiler. She is built 

 of wood and is very handsomely fitted below. All the work was 

 done under cover in Dr. Miller's yard. 



LARCHMONT Y. C. SPRING REGATTA, JUNE 8. 



THE entry list in the postponed spring regatta of the Larch- 

 mont Y. C, on Juue 8, was very "little to the credit of yacht: 

 owners about New York; in fact, it looks as though all the sport- 

 ing spirit was concentrated in tbe club as a body, and had pretty 

 well disappeared among the individual owners. A regatta with 

 good prizes, in the finest of June weather, was allowed to go beg- 

 ging with a total of but twelve starters. This lack of racing spirit 

 was most conspicuous in the 40ft. class, where such boats as 

 Chispa, Tomahawk and Alaraquita were, sailing over the course 

 without entering, evidently sizing up the only two of their class 

 in the race, Nymph and Banshee. With craft designed and built 

 specially for racing, and after at least sufficient trial to put them 

 in fair form, it would naturally be supposed that they would take 

 the first good chance of a trial, rather than merely knocking about 

 the course where their fellows were racing, and leaving to their 

 smaller sisters to represent the keel class. The result of the race 

 was hardly encouraging to the club or to the members who gave 

 their time to its management, and in view of the limited entries 

 and the fluky and tedious ending, the race can hardly be called a 

 success; but the yachtsmen on the judges' tug were t reated to two 

 very pretty and exciting duels during the greater part of the 

 day, and to some very fine bits of sailing at times. 



Clara, looking in line form this year under the blue and red 

 burgee of her new owner, Dr. Barron, and with Captain Barr 

 again at the stick, was booked to sail alone in her class. Of the 

 big fleet of forties only two of the older boats, Banshee and 

 Nymph, came to the line, though three of the new keel craft were 

 nut in full feather to watch the battle of the two centerboards. 

 In the 35ft. class the only entries were Eurybia and Volusia; while 



in the 30ft. class there were Saracen, Kathleen and Amazon. The 

 latter, a centerboard boat, is an old resident about the western 

 end of the Sound, and needs no description, but of the two new 

 comers, both keels, the former, built last year, was counted the 

 fastest of her class in Eastern waters, while her rival, Kathleen, 

 lately described in the Forest and Stream, is anew boat, this 

 being her maiden race. But little interest was attached to the 

 three cats, Orient, Punch and Giggle, while in the jib and main- 

 sail class the Coyote, lately brousht from Boston, had no com- 

 petitor. Nymph was sailed by Mr. E. A. Willard, Banshee by Mr. 

 A. Bryan Alley, Saracen by her owner, Mr. W. A. Fowle, and 

 Kathleen by Mr. Wm. Whitlock. The course for the cabin boats 

 was around the usual mark in Hempstead Bay, then around a 

 mark off Captain's Island, and home over the same, course, 20 

 knots; the open boats sailing around the red spar buoy on Scotch 

 (Japs Reef, leaving it on starboard, thence to and around stake- 

 boat in Hempstead Harbor, passing it on starboard, thence to and 

 around red spar buoy on Scotch Caps Reef, passing it on port, 

 thence finish, 10 knots. 



The weather was cool and hazy in the morning, with a light S. 

 W. air, and the start was not made until 11:45. Clara went over 

 promptly, and the others were in position to do so, too, but both 

 forties and thirties wasted valuable time in jockeying above the 

 line. Eurybia, Amazon and Volusia crossed, but Banshee came 

 for the line with a good full and then tacked, waiting for Nymph, 

 who came up and passed her. Banshee going under Nymph's stern 

 and out on her weather quarter. They went over the line on star- 

 board tack, but a. few seconds apart, but Nymph was going fairly 

 iast, while Banshee had hardly gathered way after tacking. Just 

 astern of the pair came Saracen, leading Kathleen by a hundred 

 feet or so, the latter having a most unnecessary handicap of 24s., 

 the start was timed: 



Clara 11 46 27 Punch 11 53 09 



Amazon 11 47 27 Volusia 11 53 09 



Giggle 11 49 21 Nymph 11 54 08 



Coyote 11 50 39 Banshee 11 54 22 



Eurybia 11 51 32 Saracen 11 54 40 



Orients 11 52 37 Kathleen 11 55 00 



The four settled down, jammed well on the wind, for Hemp- 

 stead markboat, carrying jibtopsails and working topsails. The 

 two smaller boats were soon scuppers-to, in spite of the moderate 

 breeze, both heeling very readily. They weathered out at first, 

 hosvever, on the centerboard boats. Banshee was outsailing 

 Nymph a little from the start; but when, near the middle of the 

 Sound, both eased sheets and reached for the mark, she gained 

 rapidly, and at. 12:15 walked handsomely through Nymph's 

 weather and took a good lead just in time for the turn. Saracen 

 and Kathleen held by the wina for a time longer, but when they, 

 too, eased off Kathleen had a very good place on Sarracen's lee 

 quarter, but the nearer to the mark, from which she reached 

 ahead, through Saracen's lee, until she was well clear of her at 

 the turn. 



Kathleen dropped her spiuaker boom to port, Clara, now well 

 ahead, carrying a spinaker, but while setting the spinaker and 

 for a long time afterward, the jibtopsail sheet was left to mind 

 itself, to the serious detriment of speed. Kathleen had very 

 cleverly passed her rival at the turn, and had a very good lead, 

 but she lost while maneuvering with the spinaker, and Saracen, 

 more carefully managed, soon ran through her lee under work- 

 ing canvas. Saracen set her balloon jibtopsail, sailing faster than 

 Kathleen, and soon set spinaker also. Banshee continued to lead 

 Nymph as long as they could be distinguished, but the fleet was 

 left astern for a time while the tug ran ahead to time Clara at 

 the Captain's Island mark. Mayflower, for the first time under 

 schooner rig, was sailing about in company with Sachem, looking 

 very handsome in her new clothes. Clara of course turned alone, 

 and as the wind was quite light it was some time before the others 

 came up. Banshee leading Nymph by 34 mile. The two keels 

 Saracen and Kathleen had not only done well in hanging on to 

 the forties, but had overtaken the two 85ft. boats, all foT, Ban- 

 shee, Nymph, Eurybia and Volusia, being centerboard craft. The 

 turn was timed: 



Clara 1 11 25 Volusia 1 36 24 



Banshee 1 30 09 liathlecu 1 37 19 



Nymph 1 33 12 Saracen 1 37 47 



Eurybia I 35 13 Amazon 1 38 50 



The wind w T as blowing fresh by the time that all had turned, 

 and the two big schooners were having a quiet brush, f -om which 

 Sachem finally came out victorious. Banshee and Nymph held 

 over toward the New York shore, in spite of the chances of less 

 wind there. Kathleen and Saracen were near enough to make a 

 very exciting race, the latter at, first doing much the better work 

 to windward, but after a time Kathleen not only made up what 

 she lost just after coming on the wind, but, added more to it. A 

 little ram fell but did not hurt the wind, which was now blowing 

 quite fresh over the Long Island hills, though very light alone 

 the opposite shore. Banshee stood in well, but finally came across, 

 jammed hard on the starboard tack, for Hempstead mark. Nymph 

 was some distance to leeward and also astern, but as they came 

 on she outfooted Banshee rapidly, though not heading so high, 

 until she was ahead when near the Long Island shore. How 

 much good this would have done her had the wind held was a 

 question, but she found it stronger well in shore, and a little more 

 favorable as well. Banshee still had a safe lead, however, cross- 

 ing Nymph's bows and tacking for the last leg to the turn. She 

 held her lead at the turn and seemed a certain winner on her 

 merits this time, but the wind was very light before the pair were 

 far from the Long Island shore, Clara also lying almost becalmed. 



When but a couple of miles from the finish a westerly breeze 

 suddenly broke off Banshee and then left her absolutely be- 

 calmed, while Nymph, a few hundred feet to windward, took a 

 nice little breeze tnat soon placed her ahead and a little later 

 drifted her in, the winner by a minute. The thirties had been 

 visible, at a distance when the others turned Hempstead mark, 

 first coming across the Sound on starboard tack and later on port 

 tack for the turn, Kathleen with a long lead all the time. After 

 turning, however, the wind dropped, and it was nearly two hours 

 after Nymph and Banshee that they crossed the line. In the 

 tedious drifting match across the Sound Saracen took the lead 

 and won by 22s., elapsed time, neither being measured. Kath- 

 leen was handicapped a little by a new and unstretched mainsail, 

 but she sailed very fast, and is apparently a very dangerous match 

 for Saracen. The latter, handled by her owner, three friends and 

 a paid hand, was the better sailed of the two, taking the lead at 

 the start and also making up by good handling what she lost in
