FOREST AND STREAM. 



619 



Nymph bad gained about 2t£m. on Liris in coining across. Once 

 around the mark all settled down to work through the squall, 

 which was now at. its height, the rain soon pouring In perfect 

 torrents. Liris was the weather boat , boiling along with plank- 

 sheer to, while to leeward were Banshee, Maraquita and Gorilla, 

 the latter in trouble with her gafftopsii.il, (bee sail streaming out 

 to leeward. Nymph was coming up ast ern, but there was no time 

 for a close scrutiny of positions and changes, those on the yachts 

 were too busy and those on the judges' tug could see nothing for 

 the rain. After a couple of miles iiad been covered, Liris still 

 ahead, her bowsprit doubled up into an S curve, a bow to leeward 

 Just outside the gammon, and a corresponding bow to windward 

 m the outer end. For a minute or more, before the word was 

 passed and the boat run off the wind, the stick went through 

 some wonderful gyrations, bending like a piece of steel, the 

 cheese and lime joint opening and closing, but still it stood, 

 though badly sprung. The stick was a beautiful piece of clear 

 spruce, hollowed and bolted in addition to the cement, but by the 

 time the jib was lowered it was past all use in any wind. The 

 yacht was hove to for three or four minutes until the jib was 

 stowed and the full damage ascertained, and then, though to alj 

 appearances out of it, with some 14 miles yet to go, through a 

 heavy squall, and with four sound boats against her, she was 

 brought on her course for Captain's Island under foresail and 

 wl ole mainsail, and kept going through the rain. She had made 

 well to windward before the collapse, and even now the others 

 were made out in a string to leeward and but little ahead. As 

 the mark was neared the rain lessened as well as the wind, and 

 boats at some distance were visible. Kathleen had lost her nomi- 

 nal opponents, Vorant and Amazon, and had passed Eurybia, in 

 the next class, during the squall. Giggle was the only one of the 

 small craft to come to grief, as previously noted, ber crew being 

 picked up safely. The times at Captain's Island were: 



Clara 2 07 50 Ran shee 3 17 4-1 



Anaconda 2 10 35 Gorilla 2 18 21 



Nymph 2 10 47 Liris 2 18 43 



Maraquita 2 17 20 



Clara had gained nearly 3>£m. on Anaconda: while Nymph had 

 done the best of all the forties, being now leading boat. Liris 

 had hung on bravely, but with lightening wind and a beat home 

 she had little show under such canvas as she could set. However, 

 after rounding the mark her No. 2 jib was set. and she was eased 

 along very carefully, the small jibtopsail and the working topsail 

 also being sent aloft. Nymph was leaving her, but she could 

 about hold Maraquita, and had at least a show for second if noth- 

 ing carried away. As the last turn was neared and the breeze 

 grew still lighter, a preventer was put, on the spar and the second 

 jib was shifted for the first, the balloon foresail and small jibtop- 

 sail being still on her. Both Banshee and Gorilla were well 

 astern, not being timed with the others at the mark. The times 

 of the leaders were: 



Clara 3 05 55 Maraquita 3 33 35 



Anaconda. 3 15 50 Liris 3 34 51 



Nvmph 3 28 13 



Clara was well over the last leg, with very little wind in toward 

 Larchmont, when Liris turned Hempst ead mark astern of Nymph 

 and Maraquita, the former being 6m. ahead of her, to say nothing 

 of the difference at the start. The stern chase seemed hopeless, 

 hut when Nymph was seen standing straight for Larchmont, with 

 little wind and a strong ebb tide to carry her down, the skipper of 

 the Liris decided to try a different course, and, instead of tacking 

 in Maraquita's wake, held on the starboard tack, working the 

 shore close in to Sands's Point, to windward, so far as there was 

 any wind, and lee-bowing the strong ebb. The heavy wet main- 

 sail, jib and working topsail, all sitting badly, were worthless, and 

 all the work was done by the balloonforesail and jibtopsail. With 

 most careful steering and both balloon sheets in hand and con- 

 stantly tended, the boat was worked slowly across the tide, while 

 her two rivals, further to leeward, were tacking back and forth in 

 the effort to find the breeze, all the time losing ground in the tide. 

 Clara had worked well across under the north shore and was 

 moving very slowly, but with a draft to her sails from a shore 

 breeze, while Anaconda, further out, was waiting for the wind to 

 come. 



Inch by inch Liris drew to windward of the others and nearer 

 to the finish, though sometimes entirely becalmed. Banshee had 

 rounded, ahead of Gorilla, and stood on after Liris, but was hope- 

 lessly astern. For nearly three hours the game went on. Nymph 

 once getting a little puff that threatened to send her over the 

 line, the last mile being made in phenomenally slow time, but at 

 last Liris was well across the tide and to windward of the line, 

 and bore down in triumph the winner of a hard race. She had' 

 done well from the start until the accident, and also under easy 

 canvas on the way home, and while she never could have out- 

 sailed Nymph from the Captain's Island mark home in her 

 crippled condition, the final victory was won not by any shift of 

 wind which gave her an advantage over her rival, but bv hard 

 and careful work in piloting and trimming sails on the last Leg 

 Besides the regular class prize she wins the first leg for the 

 Thayer cup, Nymph taking the Gould cup, as neither Liris nor 

 Maraquita belong to the club. Maraquita finally beat Nymph in, 

 while little Kathleen finished after Banshee and ahead of Gorilla 

 beating Eurybia in the 35ft. class by a large margin on even time! 



OYSTER BAY Y. C, ANNUAL REGATTA, JULY 4. 



The fifth annual regatta of the Oyster Bay Y. C. was sailed on 

 July 4, va a strong S.W. breeze, the course being twice around a 

 triangle, 17 miles in all, with 7 starters:

LARCHMONT Y C. SPECIAL RACE, JBLY 6. 



The special race of the Larchmont Y. C. for a prize cup valued 

 at 8150 was sailed on Saturday in light and fluky weather. 

 In addition to the regular prize the Thayer cup, valued at §250, 

 was also up for the second time. Liris had won one leg for the 

 cup on Thursday, and her chances were considered very good to 

 take it finally in the second race, but she was unable to gee a new 

 bowsprit in time at Piepgrass's yard. The old one was fished, 

 and she came into Larchmont on Saturday morning under full 

 canvas, but the stick was still very weak, so a batten was lashed 

 on. The race was delayed for some time waiting for her, but 

 finally Bhe was ready. Besides her were Nymph, steered by Mr. 

 it,. A. Willard; Maraquita, steered by Mr. Burgess; Gorilla 

 steered by Mr. A. Cary Smith, and Pappoose, steered by Capt. Nat 

 Watson, her skipper. By an agreement of owners made in the 

 morning there were no restrictions on sails or crew, and all 

 swung clubtopsails and were at liberty to have professional skip- 

 pers at the wheel. The course laid out was ten miles to wind- 



ward and return, the wind being east and of moderate strength, 

 bo the tug was sent to lay off the course, the regatta committee 

 going on the steam yacht Inanda. As soon as Liris came on the 

 wind for the line her bowsprit doubled up again, so she ran to 

 leeward and took in her jib, not, starting. The start was given 

 at 12:05, and the fleet crossed as follows: 



Maraquita 12 06 02 Gorilla 12 OS 25 



Pappoose 12 08 20 Nymph 12 09 38 



Mr. Burgess steered Maraquita and Mr. Smith steered Gorilla, 

 the first time that the two designers have sailed side by side. 

 Capt. Sloan was on board Gorilla, being engaged to steer her in 

 her races at Marblekead. 



All stood over on port tack, Maraquita well ahead and gain- 

 ing for some time. The wind soon fell very light, while the 

 flood tide was running strong against the fleet. Pappoose and 

 Nymph worked the north shore and Maraquita the south for 

 some time, but at last all came together off Oak Point, Mara- 

 quita still ahead. Liris had kept to leeward of the fleet with 

 second jib set, and was not far from the leaders, but near Oyster 

 Bay she took the ground, hanging for a quarter of an hour. The 

 fleet was becalmed off Oyster Bay for several hours in company 

 with the racing fleet of the Oyster Bay Y. C, but finally Pappoose 

 managed quietly to give the slip to the larger craft, and started 

 across on starboard tack. After some very slow work she man- 

 aged to turn the mark at 4:48, the others still lying becalmed. 

 After a time the wind came in light from S. W., and the three 

 set spinakors to starboard, Gorilla being now ahead of Mara- 

 quita and Nymph. The three were timed: 



Gorilla 5 32 35 Nymph 5 39 49 



Maraquita 5 36 43 



Pappoose was miles away, working to windward, when Gorilla 

 turned. The three had a very pretty tight all the way. Nymph 

 showed up best in the windward work, finishing a few seconds 

 ahead of Gorilla, and an hour after Pappoose. The times were:

Maraquita 12 00 03 7 38 58 7 33 66 7 32 37 



Shortly after the race Pappoose and Maraquita left for Marble- 

 head. On Sunday morning Gorilla and Kathleen both started for 

 Marhlehead, where they will race on Saturday. Liris ran up to 

 City Island, shipping her new solid bowsprit in the evening and 

 returning to Larchmont late at night in readiness for Monday's 

 race. Neither she nor Nymph will go around the Cape. It is just 

 announced that Gen. Paine has hought Baboon, and if he carries 

 into the 40ft. class, the spirit and skill that have won fame for 

 him in the 90ft., be is likely to set a lively tune for some of the 

 forties to dance to. Baboon is one of the handsomest and fastest 

 of the Burgess forties, and with a sail plan of about 3,900ft. she 

 will receive time from all of this year's craft except Minerva. 

 The races east of the cape will probably bring together the Fife 

 keel Minerva, the Smith eenterboarder Gorilla, the two McVey 

 keels, Helen and Alice, and the Burgess boats Baboon, Pappoose, 

 Maraquita and Verena, the latter a centerboarder. The Weld 

 and Hovey cups, as well as the regular prizes of the E. Y. C, will 

 be. raced for. In the 30ft. class Kathleen will meet Elf, Saracen, 

 Marguerite, and several boats of less note. 



NEW ROCHELLE Y, C, FOURTH ANNUAL REGATTA. 



The fourth annual regatta of the New Rochelle Y. C. was sailed 

 on July 6, the courses being: 



Course No. 1. -For all above the 30ft. class: From the starting 

 line to and around the horizontally striped buoy at, the west end of 

 Execution Reef, leaving the same on the port hand; thence to 

 and around buoy off Matinicock Point, leaving the same on the 

 port hand; thence to and around stakeboat flying the club flag 

 anchored south of Captain's Island, leaving the same on the port 

 hand; thence to ttr- horizontally striped buoy at the east end of 

 Execution Beef, leaving it on the starboard hand; thence to and 

 around the horizontally striped buoy at the west, end of Execu- 

 tion Reef, leaving all buoys on the said reef on the starboard 

 hand; thence to and across the finishing line in an opposite direc- 

 tion irom the start. Distance, 22 nautical miles. 



Course No. 2.— For the 30ft. and all smaller classes: From the 

 starting point to and around the horizontally striped buoy at the 

 west end of Execution Reef, leaving the same on the port, hand; 

 thence to and around the Black Buoy off Matinicock Point, leav- 

 ing the same on the port hand; thence to and around the easterly 

 home stakeboat, leaving the same on the port hand; thence to the 

 horizontally striped buoy at the east end of Execution Reef, 

 leaving it on the starboard hand; thence to and around the hori- 

 zontally striped buoy at the west end of Execution Reef, leaving 

 all buoys on tlie said reef on the starboard hand; thence to and 

 across the finishing lino in an opposite direction from the start. 

 Distance, 17 nautical miles. 



The guests' steamer, Pomona, ran on a rock off David's Island, 

 knocking a hole in her bottom, and much time was lost in wait- 

 ing for a steamer to take off her passengers. The gun was fired 

 at 1:04, the fleet being timed at the line:

All went over on the port tack in a light, easterly air, which fell 

 after a time, making the race a drift. Kathleen went up into the 

 35ft. class, winniug as easily there as among her own size, beat- 

 ing Eurybia by 28m. The full times were:

AMERICAN Y. C. REGATTA — JULY 8. 



The efforts of the Americau Y. C. to further yacht raciug on 

 Long Island Sound met with -very little encouragement from 

 yacht owners, as only 4 yachts above 35ft. came to the line on 

 Monday morning. The courses and conditions for the race were: 



Course No. 1.— For all cabin yachts: From Milton Point to and 

 around a stake-boat, anchored in Hempstead Harbor (course S Vi 

 W.) (from stake-boat Sands Point Lighthouse bears W. by S.. and 

 Execution Lighthouse bear W. hy N. }4 N J, passing same on the 

 port hand; thence to and around a stake-boat anchored one-half 

 mile S.W. % S. of Captain's Island Lighthouse (course N.E. % N ) 

 passing also on the port hand; thence to -and around the stake- 

 boat anchored in Hempstead Harbor (course S.W. % S.), passing 

 same on the starboard hand; thence to and across the finish line 

 at Milton Point (course N. M E.). Distance about 20 nautical 

 miles. 



Course No. 2.— For all open yachts: From Miltou Point to and 

 around a stake-boat anchored in Hempstead Harbor course S. M 

 W.), passing the same on the port hand; thence to and around the 



black buoy off Matinicock Point (course N.E. by E. % E.), passing 

 same on the purt hand; thence to and across the finishing line at 

 Milton Point (course N.W. by W. Y\ W.). Distance about 10 

 nautical miles. 



Race to be sailed under Larchmont Y. C. rules. The wind was 

 light; from W.N. W., with an ebb tide through the morning. As 

 Magic and Clara each had no competitor a match was made be- 

 tween the c.n. schooner, 80ft. Bin. l.w.l., and the keel cutter, 56ft. 

 6in. l.w.l.; the former to receive an allowance for rig of 15 per 

 ceut., making her nominally 65ft. Sin. , by Larchmont rule, Clara 

 being 55ft. llin. Thus Magic would allow Clara 5m. 31s. Only 

 two fort ies were present. Nymph aud Liris. The latter came into 

 Larchmont late at night with her new bowsprit, a wet and heavy 

 spar. The week had been a hard one for her crew, with night 

 passages and slapping new spars, and those left on board were 

 well tired by Monday morning. Bot h she and Nymph had diffi- 

 culty in finding men to take the place of the absentees, and sailed 

 short-banded with scratch crews. When the yachts were ready 

 Nymph refused to sail the course laid out by the club, a reaching 

 course, demanding a six-mile course to windward and return, 

 two rounds. Liris declined to accede to any change of the regular 

 course, and Mr. Alley, on behalf of the regatta committee, prom- 

 ised the prize in case she was compelled to sail alone. When the 

 signal was given Nymph came to the line, having changed her 

 mind. Neither she nor Liris were allowed clubtopsails, but Clara 

 carried hers. The starters were:

When the first gun was fired at 1:05 the wind was W. N. W., so 

 spinaker booms were dropped to starboard. Poningo and Julia 

 went over first, but Nymph and Liris, the foimer steered hy Mr. 

 E. A. Willard and the latter by Mr. J. F. Lovejoy, worked about, 

 watching each other. When 7m had gone Nymph made a 

 start, Liris following close astern, being timed Slsee. later. The 

 start was timed: 



Poningo 1 14 45 Brunhilde 1 19 17 



Julia 1 14 51 Giggle *. ....1 19 50 



Amazon 1 15 25 Clara 1 19 52

Liris 1 17 49 Zelda 12000 



Magic 1 18 15 Sayonara., 1 20 00 



Eurybia 1 18 50 lone 1 2000 



Amazon and Nymph were the leaders, Liris, Magic and Clara 

 being close together. Spinakers, braced well forward, continued 

 to draw for a few minutes, but all were soon obliged to lower 

 them. When less than a t hird of the three-mile leg to Hemstead 

 had been covered the breeze died out entirely, Magic and Clara 

 drifted up on Liris, luffing her out a little and breaking her 

 wind. For another mile the drift coutinued, and then Nymph 

 and Amazon caught the breeze again, spinakers being reset. The 

 others were becalmed for some little time, and when they finally 

 caught the wind Nymph had turned the mark and with a fresh- 

 ening breeze was bowling away on the second leg. Liris gained 

 on Clara and led her around the mark, with Magic after both. 

 The times were: 



Nymph 2 07 50 Clara 2 18 15 



Amazon 2 11 45 Magic 2 18 30 



Liris .2 16 45 Eurybia 2 20 30 



That Nymph's gain of 8m. on this leg was hut a fluke is shown 

 by the times; the three miles were sailed in a little under the 

 hour, and Clara, carrying a clubtopsail, was beaten 7m. 38s. by 

 Nymph, with a jibheader, and 2m. 3s. by little Amazon, 



Nymph, with jibtopsail set, and the wind forward of the beam, 

 now sailed very fast, running into a much stronger breeze as 

 she neared Captain's Island. Liris had her sails in better shape 

 than in any previous race, but the topmast rigging stretched so 

 badly that before half of the six mile leg was covered she was 

 obliged to lower her No. 1 jibtopsail. Magic and Clara soon 

 passed her, the schooner reaching ahead of the sloop for a time, 

 but finally Clara shifted her ballooner for a working foresail, and 

 luffed from under Magic's lee and out across her bows. When 

 near the mark Magic ran by her enough to turn a little ahead, 

 the times being: 



Nymph 3 06 30 Liris 3 15 30 



Magic 3 10 45 Eurybia 3 20 30 



Clara 3 11 20 Amazon 3 22 30 



The times of Nymph and Liris over this leg were 58m. 40s. and 

 58tt. 15s., showing that Nymph had gained but 5s. Liris set her 

 jiotopsail at the mark. 



The wind was now a trifle abaft the beam, decreasing steadily 

 as Hempstead was again neared. Magic gained now on Clara, 

 but the forties held about the same positions. The times at 

 Hempstead were: 



Nymph 3 54 00 Clara 3 55 00 



Magic 3 51 00 Liris 4 03 31 



The elapsed times over the return course were quicker, the wind 

 and tide being both more favorable. Nymph ran the leg in 47m. 

 30s., and Liris 48m. Is., a gain of 31s. for Nymph. Eurybia had 

 passed Amazon on the way out. and now had a good lead, though 

 neither was timed. The last short leg was to windward in a light 

 breeze that drew ahead at times, and across a strong tide. Clara 

 overtook and passed Magic, and Liris lost but 7s. to Nymph. The 

 full times were:

 when the wina held, show that she gained but 23s. in 15 knots.

 ing against Magic, Compared with the forties, her elapsed time 

 from Hempstead mark, out and home, 15 knots, is 12m. 36s. better 

 than Nymph; the latter's allowance for this distance being about 

 7m. oils. The regatta committee included Messrs. Geo. W. Hall
