save a short deck at each end and also over the boiler, the bunkers 

 being on each side of the latter. Ttic Bul.z was entered in ttio 

 thira class, and the fame of ner doings scared all the other entries 

 off, but after losing all the morning in repairs at the dock slie did 

 not start at. all; so t he race fell through in this class, .lust before 

 noon a curious craft came into the harhor, ayacht with very high 

 freeboard, a rather short ovorhang forward, a long aud line 

 counter aft, and with very light spars for schooner rig. Her sides 

 were of varnished mahogany, and her great freeboard gave her 

 the appearance of a rather small boat, but she was 115ft. on l.w.l., 

 in spite of Her appearance, being the new HerreshofE yacht Say 

 When, She was not entered, but ran out with the racers at tbe 

 start, traveling very last. The starters were:

As stated, there were no entries but the Buzz in the third class, 

 and she did not start. 



The "Viola, Mr. J. P. Kennedy, was used by the regatta com- 

 mittee, and at 11:30 A. M. sh3 ran out to the start. The prepara- 

 tory signal was given at 11:48 and the start at noon exactly. The 

 fleet lay about haif a mile above the starting line, and as the time 

 expired all came for the Hue under good headway, Orienta cross- 

 ing just after the w.astle, with the others so close that the six 

 wee timed within a minute and a half. They were hardly over 

 be. ore they were well toward tho horizon, and in a very short 

 time they were all bull down, and nothing was left to the specta- 

 tors but to wa t for their return in some live or six liours. The 

 water was perfectly smooth, there was hardly any wind, and the 

 tide was with the yachts, both out and back. Stranger and Sus- 

 quehanna soon tjok the lead, with Urienta iu third place, but 

 wheu about half the way oul, had been covered tne latter blew 

 out a gasket and was obliged to withdraw. Stranger was the first 

 in, being less than tour minutes over the limit of live hours, thus 

 failing to win the Atalanta Cup. Susquehanna was second, close 

 astern of her, and then followed a long wait for the others. The 

 official times were:

ATLANTIC Y. C. CRUISE. 



THE Atlantic Y. C. cruise, which terminated on Friday last at 

 New Bedford, was a most successful affair in spite of light 

 winds; the oulv break iu the general enjoyment being that caused 

 by the sudden death of Capt. Coffin at Shelter Island. The ren- 

 dezvous was made at Whitestone on the afternoon of July 13, 

 sailing next day for Black Rock and lying there over Sunday. Ou 

 Monday a start was made for New London, reached in the after- 

 noon, on Tuesday i he tleet raced across to Shelter Island, lying 



at 10:30 A. M. in a very light fieeze, tbe wind being light and 

 fluky all dav. The fleet was timed at Black itock: 



Enterprise 5 44 00 Ariadne (1 24 00 



Anaconda 5 47 30 Gevalia 44 00 



Nimrod 5 52 25 Kival (i 44. 30 



Olga 5 59 45 Amaranth 6 4'i ,;0 



Wayward 6 13 30 Haze 7 2(5 10 



Nirvana 22 20 Domino 8 03 00 



The Azalea, Wivern, Roauier and Iris were already at anchor, 

 awaiting the fleet and others came in late at night and early 

 Sunday morning. 



Tbe first event in the morning was the sailing of some cf the 

 smallest. Olga, Amaranth, Gleam, Frolic and Nimrod for Thim- 

 ble islands, "talis dividing in two the long run of 65 miles laid out 

 for Monday. The rest oi the fleet lay at anchor in Black Rock 

 Harbor all dav, service being held on hoard the Haze by Fleet 

 Chaplain W. H. Thomas of Worcester, Mass. 



Earl v Monday morning a start was made, the smaller boats 

 being sent away at 4:30 A. M. The day was clear witb light aud 

 variable winds, and the fleet was scattered over both sides of tbe 

 Sound, the yachts straggling in to New London after dark. As a 

 race the tun was in no way interesting. The fleet which left 

 Black Hi ck included the Enterprise, Stella, Wivern, Fanny. 

 Rival, Domino, Ariadne. Olga, Azalea, Haze, Nirvana, Videtto, 

 Roauier, Anaconda, Gevalia, Atblon, while Shamrock joined 

 the fleet just after the start, coming over from the Long Island 

 8hoi e. The only times taken at New London were: 



Shamrock 6 .'1 00 Roamer 9 35 00 



Fanny 7 3' 00 Gevalia 10 03 00 



Ar.acbnaa 8 00 00 Haze 10 10 31 



Gleam, Iris, Arab, Nimrod aud frolic came in also, the latter 

 having toucned among the Thimbles but getting off easily. Owing 

 to the late hour at which they arrived, most of the yachts 

 anchored in the lower harbor, coming up early in the morning. 

 Awaiting the fleet were the Clio, Katrina, Winona, Venitzia, 

 Phantom and Daisy, with the steam yachts Lagonda and Satel- 

 lite. 



The start for the race was set for noon, the course of 24 miles 

 being from off tho Fort Griswold Hotel at New London, to the 

 Prospect House at Shelter Island, passing through the Race and 

 to tne eastward of Little Gull Island, all yachts to sa:l in cruising 

 trim. The wind w s light , S. by E.. making a beat as far as Little 

 Gull Island. At 12:31 the preparatory signal was given, the start, 

 for schooners being at 13:20, for tbe larger single-stickers at 12:31, 

 and tbe smaller at 12: 6. Fanny, Katrina and Shamrock went 

 away well together, the farmer m the lead, Katrina hung under 

 Fanny's lee for a time, while Shamrock was sailing alone, but the 

 steel b at finally managed to shake on" Fanny and took tbe lead. 

 When the trio passed Race Rock Katrina led by J4 mile, with 

 Fanny second and Shamrock on the latter's lee beam. The next 

 in order were Roamer, Anaconda ami Clio. The leaders were 

 timtd off Little Gird Light as follows: Katrina, 2:40:31; Shamr ;ck, 

 2:27:31; Fanny, 2:29-42. Balloon jihtopsails were set and carried 

 until Gardiner's Bay was reached. The only times taken were as 

 follows, the rest of the fleet being delayed by the tide aud light 

 wind:

Gevalia finally drifted in a -id finished, winning in her class. 



It was just after the finish that the sudden death of Captain 

 Coffin touk place. As was his custom for years he had accompa- 

 nied the cruise, and when the Fanny's party landed he came 

 ashore with them, going to the telegraph office. After handing 

 in a part of his story he sat down to finish the remainder, and 

 died in his chair almost instantly. His body was embalmed and 

 forwaided in charge of friends to New Y'ork. 



The intention had been to sail on Wednesday for Stonington 

 and on Thursday for Newport, but the plan was changed so as to 

 allow a day of rest ou Shelter Island, aud the fleet lay at 

 anchor until Thursday, when a start was made at 6 A. M. for 

 Newport. There was a fresh breeze from S. E. until noon, when 

 it dropped, coming up later and taking the fleet in to harbor. The 

 times on tne run were!

GENERAL ORDER, NO. 6. 



The Commodore presents his compliments to the members of 

 this club accompanying the fleet and to their guests, and eon- 

 giatulates them upon tbe success of the annual cruise of the 

 Atlantic Yacht Club for 18S8. Upon receipt of this order the fleet 

 will be disbanded aud the yacut owners relieved from further 

 squadron dut y. By order of the Commodore, 



Charles T. Piekce, Fleet Captain. 



Some of the yachts returned at once to New York, while a num- 

 ber started out to cruise about the Vineyard, Nantucket and New- 

 port. 



THE LAKE Y. R. A. ROUND. 



BELLEVILLE, JULY 16. 



OUR annual regatta, which took place yesterday, would have 

 been, but for a regrettable piece of luck, as toll below, a fine 

 test of type in light weather. There were only four entries, two 

 each in the second and third classes, but all were good ones, those 

 in the latter class being the very cream of their size on fresh 

 water. The competitors then were: Second class, cutter Madge, 

 Rochester, corrected length 44.10ft., and too well known to need 

 description; sloop Cygnet, of Toronto, a beamy cent erboarder of 

 moderate diaft, built by Mr. Trisirau, but having had a new- 

 overhanging stern put on since, corrected length, 18.1ft. Third 

 cla b, Burgess's sloop-cutter Merl«, of Oswego, 38.32ft. corrected 

 length; si op Iolanthe, of Belleville, centerboarder, of moderate 

 draft, corrected length 37.23ft. 



The course, which was a, triangle of 10 miles, gave the yachts a 

 broad reach of four miles, a run of 2 mile-' and a close jam of four 

 miles, thrice around for second class and twice around tor third 



*" l Tlfe wind was so light that all could carry everything that 

 would draw, Madge setting an enormous cluhtopsad which pro- 

 jected 24ft. above her truck. In r» aching, Cygnet had eonside- 

 ably the best of Madge; in running the sloop had a little the ad- 

 vantage, but to wind. vard Madge ".'.'as greatly superior. She did 

 verv little, if anv better in the windward work tnan Iolanthe or 

 Merle, the former of which provtd faster than her competitor m 

 reaching; little if any better in running, but considerably faster 

 to windward and, it. seemed to me, pointing a trifle higher. 



In the first round it was very pretty, the wind varying but 

 little in force during its continuance. Madge led off 3 minutes in 

 advance, Cygnet, by some blundering, being handicapped 3 min- 

 utes i,v tier late start, The first mark was turned with the cutter 

 two lengths in advance; and on the run Cygnet passed her, but 

 only to be passed in turn, and the Scotch flyer led into the home 

 stretch. There she showed her weatherly qualities, as she lay 

 through to Noniauk, while Cygnet had to make a short stretch. 

 The rest of this race is hardly worthy of description, as the suc- 

 ceeding rounds were similar in nearly all respect s, and the cutter 

 finally" crossed the line 2m. 15s. in advance. The Cygnet was, 

 however, badlev handled, and had the worst of the work. She is 

 not now considered fast in her class, and Madge will meet a very 

 different boat when site sails against White Wings of Hamilton. 



Iolanthe, starring 415s. before Merle, raced away from her in the 

 reach, aud led around first mark 8m. in advance. Three-quarters 

 of a minute of this lead was lost on the run, the rear boat having 

 rather tne best wind. Both did splendidly close hauled, pointing 

 high enough to lay through: hut Iolanthe, who here seemed to get- 

 rather the most favors Irom the zephyrs, added 3m. to her lead. 

 This advantage was increased on the roach, but all ran into a 

 calm a mile or less west of the first flag. Merle, who had held to 

 windward of the mark in company with Madge, here got a num- 

 ber of cat's-paws which carried her along to and around the mark, 

 where she found about the best breeze of the day, and started oft 

 with spinaker set lor the next turn. Iolanthe, who had been in 

 eompanv with Cygnet, now got a puff, but it was dead ahead, and 

 she had to make two stretches to weather the mark, which she did 

 some fifteen minutes after her competitor. She then dashed off in 

 Pursuit and made up about half of the lost time. Had the wind 

 held true and steady she would, no doubt, have beaten Merle from 

 fifteen to twenty minutes, and would probably have led the th>et 

 home, as in the first roand she gained 4m, 30s. on Madge. The 

 time, as officially taken in the race, was as follows:

Our Oswego friends are such a fine lot of fellows that nobody r 

 grudges them their good luck. 



The old-time racers, Peerless (now Argo), of Belleville, Surprise, 

 of Trenton, and Katie Gray, uf Oswego, who have had many bard 

 races over our course, met yesterday as lookers-on at an event in 

 which thev would not even figure to advantage. 



The disqualification of their yachts at Kingston tor crossing the 

 line wrongly at the start, aud the loss of yesterday's race by a 

 flute, are circumstances which would disgust ordiuary men, but 

 the owners of the Iolanthe are gentlemen of pluck and thorough 

 sportsmen, and will send their craft to the Oswego and Rochester 

 meets, where it is to be hoped that, if beaten, it will not be bv 

 luck. Port Tack. 



OSWEGO, JULY 20. 



The third day's racing found the fleet small in numbers, only 

 six yachts coming to the line. The regatta was under the man- 

 agement of the Oswego Y. C, the course being laid oft Oswego, 

 five miles to windward and back, the firstand second classes sail- 

 ing 3 rounds and the third class 3 rounds. The prizes were: First 

 class, $90 and §60; second class, $80 and $40; third class, $80, $40 

 and §20. Three boats were to start to insure a second prize, and 

 4 for a third prize. Prize flags were also given to the. winners, 

 while the yachts of the Oswego Y. C. also sailed for the Mott 

 ebampionsl'ip pennant, the time heing taken over the third class 

 course. White Wings, of Hamilton, was on hand, fresh from her 

 victories on Lake Erie, while Atalanta also was present, but had 

 uo competitor. The start was timed:

 greatest interest, was shown by the townspeople, several thousand 

 persons being present. The wind was moderate in the morning, 

 dropping a little as the day advanced. When near the first buoy

LURLINE AND AGGIE. 



THE interest in yachting, which was once quite keen in San 

 Fiancisco, has declined so during the last th.ee years tit at 

 the racing is dead, save among the smallest craft. The large 

 schooners have diminished in numbers, while those still in the 

 fleet have given up all racing. This summer, however, a match 

 was arranged between Lurline and Aggie, two of the largest, for 

 an ocean race of 550 miles, San Francisco to San Diego, for $1,000 

 per side: the start being made on July 1. Lurline is a keel yacht, 

 designed and built iu 1S82, by Matthew Turner, for Mr. J. D. 

 Spree Ides, her present owner, being 72ft. 3in. l.w.l., 21ft. beam, 

 and 8ft. 3i". draft. Aggie is a ceuterboard beat, built by Hall 

 Bros, in 1881, owned by Mr. Daniel McFailand, aud is 73ff. 7in. 

 l.w.l., 23 ft. beam, and Oft. 9in. draft. The (start was made at 

 10:20:30 A. M. on July 1, with a 12 mile breeze abeam, and light 

 sails wore set. Aggie led at the start, but after 3 hours' work 

 Lurline began to pass her. The sea was high and the wind in- 

 creasing, blowing 24 miles on shore at 11 A. M. Aggie was not 

 properly fitted out, and at 3 P. M. she lost her foretopmast, being 

 delayed" some time in clearing the wr< ck, as her balloon jibtop- 

 sail went overboard; Lurline in the mean time gaining a couple 

 of miles. The wind aud sea held during the night, both yachts 

 making good time, Aggie's run lor the 24 hours being 264 miles. 

 At dawn she had passed Lurline and led by about a mile. The 

 second day passed wit h haze and light airs, the pair making little 

 headway, being off San Miguel Island at night. Next morning 

 brought a light breeze, but tbe haze continued until afternoon. 

 Lurline was about 7 miles further out than Aggie and a mile 

 ahead when it lifted, and with the first of the breeze she soon in- 

 creased her lead. Aggie rnamged to rig a jury topmast, so as to 

 set her balloon jibtopsail. On the morning of July 4 t Lurline 

 was about 6 miles Irom San Nicholas Island, with Aggie 6 miles 

 astern of her. When the breeze came, both caught it at the same 

 time, but Ag.de was in for more bad luck, her jury topmast going 

 over the side and carrying the balloon jibtopsail with it. Both 

 yachts were sighted from the shore at 3:50 on July 5, Lurlmo still 

 ahead, tbe wind being very light: She finished at 4:55 A. M., 

 with Aggie at 5:26 A. M., the full time being:

Considering the leugth of the course, the finish is remarkably 

 close. 



CORINTHIAN Y. C, MARBLE HE AD.— The 21 championship 

 regatta of the Corinthian Y. C. was sailed on July 21, off Marble- 

 bead, the wind heing fresh S. VV. at start but dying out as the 

 race went on. The courses were as follows: For first and second
