 is unreleuting, and the Red Swan is once more under way. Mile 

 after mile is put behind the now hopeful crew in quick succession; 

 the rough water at Shogomoe is run with a shout; Poquiock, Na- 

 cawiek, the Barony, slide by like a dream; Long's Creek linds the 

 crew only nineteen miles from town; Indian Village is readied at 

 6.50, ten minutes ahead of the time, and Spring Hill finds that: 

 terrible schedule beaten by twelve minutes. The old canoe her- 

 self is beginning to get exultant, and seems to travel faster than 

 ever. Opposite City Hall the watch is consulted for the last time, 

 and shows 7.19, and the run is finished, •with three minutes to 

 spare. The genial Commodore is waiting expectantly below the 

 bridge, and is the first to offer congratulations. (lood night, Com-

THE LAKE Y. R. A. ROUND. 



HAMILTON, JULY 28 — AUG. 3. 



THIS year a new port has been added to the Lake Round of 

 races. Hamilton, the "ambitious c,itj r ," is coming to the 

 front in yachting as in other things, and her young hut vigorous 

 yacht club held its first regatta ou July 38. A very large number 

 of spectators were present and a fine fleet of yachts from all the 

 Ontario ports. The Alice Enright, of Toled'o, was expected, as 

 she was matched to sail the Merle for $250 per side and the cham- 

 pionship of the lakes, but she did not arrive in time for the re- 

 gatta. The fleet reached Hamilton on July 27, and in the evening 

 a reception and illumination were given in honor of the visitors. 

 The course for the race was from the south pier, 5 miles to wind- 

 ward to a stakeboat, the 2d class sailing three rounds, 30 miles: 

 the 3d and 4th classes, 2 rounds, and the 5th class, 1 round, 10 

 miles. The juderes were Capt. Monck, Vice-Commodore Stewart, 

 W. H. Judd and Harry Lee. Several first class yachts were pres- 

 ent, hut none started. With a light 8.E. wiud the second class 

 was sent away as follows: 



Aggie, sloop, Marlatt & Armstrong, Oakville 10 31 35 



Verve, cutter, N. B. Dick, Toronto 10 jj] B6 



White Wings, sloop, A. E. Jarvis, Hamilton 10 31 55 



Cygnet, sloop, A. M. Ewing, Toronto 10 38 3D 



Condor, sloop, Wm- Davidson, Toronto 10 39 30 



White Wings cut in between the two leaders and the weather 

 end of the line at the start, blanketing both and taking the lead 

 The first leg was timed: 



White Wings 12 19 50 Condor 12 57 00 



Verve 12 30 45 Aggie 13 53 30 



Cygnet 12 35 30 



The Heel, came in with spiuakers to port, the wind being very 

 light. The end of the first round was timed: 



White Wings 1 42 45 Verve 2 10 30 



Cygnet 3 09 00 " *" 



The others were far astern. All drifted out to the mark again 

 the times being: 



White Wings 3 56 00 Verve. 5 13 15 



Cygnet 4 54 30 



About 6 P. M. the race was abandoned, there being no wind 

 The third class had a very goocilisc of entries, including the new 

 cutter Psyche, designed by Mr. C. P. Kunhardt, a keel boar of 

 moderate beam. The start was made at 10:45; 



Psyche, cutter, S. Greening, Hamilton 10 45 20

Merle, sloop, Allen Ames, Oswego 10 47 43 



Yolande, schooner, S. Y. Baldwin 10 40 53 



Psyche made one long tack to the north, while Merle tried 

 shorter legs, but when they came together Psyche was well ahead, 

 with Coquet te second and Merle third, the times at the mark 

 being: 



Psyche 12 89 30 Merle 12 57 30 



Coquette. 12 54 00 



Though starting 15 minutes later, these, three had beaten Condor 

 and Aggie, of second class. After rounding, Psyche made a, blun- 

 der in setting her spinaker to port, all the rest carrying theirs to 

 starboard. She ran a long way out of her course in order to make 

 the sail draw, while Merle passed Coquette. The times at the end 

 of the first round were: Psyche 2:17, Merle 2:25. Psyche now 

 stood for the south shore, and was finally lost in the haze. Merle 

 drifted around the outer mark at 5:43, with Cyprus second to her, 

 and then both gave up. 



There were 13 starters in fourth class, as follows, all starting 

 with third class at 10:45: 



Flirt 10 45 45 



Mischief, W. D. Thomas 10 45 55

In the fifth class were Adeline, Water Witch, kestrel, Ariadne, 

 Fleetwing, Seagull, Alliance, Ercless, Cornet, Flight, and Alvaetta. 

 In the evening the visitors were entertained by the home club, 

 sailing next day for Toronto, the Hamilton race being postponed 

 CO Aug. 3. 



Only a part of the fleet returned on that date, and of these 

 Verve and Caprice arrived too late to enter. The course was laid 

 out five miles southeast of the South Pier, there being little wind 

 iu the morning, but after the start a strong S.W. wind came in, 

 making a reach both ways, instead of a beat out and run home, 

 as expected. Only two started in second class, the race being 

 without interest.

m third class the starters were Merle, Cyprus, Surge, Psyche, 

 Coquette, Cruiser and St. Elmo. Merle started, but withdrew 

 when she found that the course was not to windward. Cyprus 

 also came to grief, losing her forestay and bobstay. Psyche led 

 until near the, finish, when her mast gave awav at the hounds.

TORONTO Y. C, JULY 31. 



The wind on Monday was little better than on the precediug 

 Saturday at Hamilton, but the race was sailed to a finish. What 

 wind there was came from S.W. The course was laid between a 

 buoy moored 100yds. to the south of Exposition wharf, thence 

 due south to a buoy five miles out in the lake— once around for 

 the fourth class, twice for the third class, three times for the 

 second class. The entries were, Cygnet, White Wings, Aggie and 

 Verve in 2d class: Myrlc, Cyprus, St. Elmo, Escape and Vision in 

 3d class; Velnette, Caprice, Alvaetta, Irene and Adeline in 4th 

 class. White Wings led her class easily until near the finish 

 when she was becalmed. Cygnet came up with the breeze, 

 shifted her spinaker from port to starboard in very quick time 

 and finished first, but failed to save her time. The full times 

 were:

ROYAL CANADIAN, JULY 31. 



The course for the Royal Canadian Y. C. Regatta, on Tuesday, 

 was the old "Red" course from a buoy off Exhibition Wharf 

 thence to bell buoy, from there to a buoy moored off Scarboro'. 

 thence to another out in the lake five miles and in to the bell buoy 

 again— twice round for the second and once round for the third 

 class boats, leaving all buoys to the starboard hand; 30 and 15 

 miles. The first to start was the third class at. 10:15, the wind being 

 strong from the west. Merle led, winning easilv. At one time the 

 yachts were obliged to turn in single and some double reefs The 

 second class was started at 10:30, with four starters, White Wings, 

 Verve, Aggie and Cygnet, the latter handicapped. Verve, Aggie 

 and Cygnet all started on the wrong course, the latter losing a 

 great, deal in returning and rounding the right buoy. There was 

 a strong wind and heavy sea during a part of the race, with a 

 heavy squall near the end. 



Tbe fourth class did not start until 3:40, the course being around 

 the bellboy. Alvaetta, a 19! t. open boat, did some very good 

 work, beating the decked yachts. The full times were:

The winner in the second race is not known, as several protests 

 have been lodged. 



From Toronto the fleet returned, as stated, to Hamilton, the 

 final race being sailed tnere on Aug. 3. The round this year has 

 been marked by light weather in the races and some heavy 

 weather between ports, as well as by several disasters, while the 

 entries have not been up to the mark. The first class has done 

 nothing; the withdrawal of Iolanthe robbed the later races of 

 part, of the interest, and the race between Psyche and Merle failed 

 through the latter's withdrawal at, Hamilton. Oriole and White 

 Wings will be present at the Mackinac regatta of Aug. 15, 17 and 

 17, where the latter wiU met the Alice Enright.

CENTER BOARD QUESTION ON THE CLYDE. 



AT the meeting of the Institute of Naval Architects at Glas- 

 gow, Mr. B. Mart-ell, chief surveyor, Lloyd's Register of 

 Shipping, read a paper "On the comparative merits of deep keel 

 and centcrboard yachts for racing purposes." After alluding to 

 the opinion among many yachtsmen that yachts of the American 

 design had in every respect superior qualities to the deep keel 

 vessels, Mr. Martell said he proposed to examine the comparattve 

 merits of the different types, with a view to elicit a discussion 

 a mong those who could claim to speak with authority' on the ques- 

 tion, particularly in a, locality' where so much enterprise and 

 enthusiasm had been displayed in this interesting subject. After 

 giving the dimensions of the yachts Thistle, and Volunteer, Mr. 

 Martell observed that the principal difference in the two was the 

 relation of depth to breadth. 



Summing up the results of his investigation, it appeared, he 

 said, that the American type of yacht possessed greater stiffness, 

 and therefore greater sail-carrying power; it had, by reason of 

 the centerboard, greater resistance to leeway, was fitted with 

 better sails for close-hauled sailing, and had practically no more 

 skin friction and wave-making resistance at all ordinary speeds, 

 while the only point on which the British type had the advantage 

 was that she was safer in bad weather iu the open sea with a large 

 spread of canvas. It was not surprising that under these cir- 

 cumstances all the recent trials of speed between the British and 

 American types should have resulted in the triumph of the latter. 

 It now behooved British yachtsmen to consider whether it was 

 expedient for them to make sea-going qualities a sine qua non in 

 a racing machine, or to sacrifice high speed in had weather at sea 

 in order to obtain greater speed in the usual conditions under 

 which these vessels would be raced, which was, after all, the 

 principal reason of their existence. 



Mr. G. L.Watson, in opening the discussion, said there were one 

 or two points upon which Mr. Martell bad not got the real facts. 

 One of these was the relative stability of the two vessels. Mr. 

 Martell had assumed that the Volunteer would take a heel of 15 

 degrees and the Thistle degrees, and on that basis a good 

 many of his assumptions were made. He (Mr. Watson) asked 

 several gentlemen who observed the race to get both on end to 

 see which had the greater inclination. The three gentlemen, 

 who were all careful observers and good yachtsmen, were of 

 opinion there was a difference of something like 3 or 4 degrees in 

 favor of Thistle, which was to that extent stiffer than Volunteer. 

 He (Mr. Watson) thought it unfortunate that so much attention 

 should have been directed to those races between Volunteer and 

 Thistle. The public judged from those, races of the relative 

 merits of centcrboard and keel. There had been hundreds of 

 other races between centerboards and keels, and the result had 

 been very different. The Clara, one of Fife's boats, had won almost 

 every race she had sailed against centerboard boats. The Bedouin 

 was still acknowledged to be about the fastest of her class, and 

 her record was favorable compared with that of centerboard boats 

 of the same length. Madge, when she went over to America a 

 good many years ago, out of seven races won six against center- 

 boards. The Pappoose had not only beat boats of her own length, 

 but this year was beating boats of greater length. Coming again 

 to our own eountry, where they were just beginning with center- 

 boards, there was a new class, where the limit of length was 21ft., 

 and no restriction as to centerboard or keel. The results of that 

 he got that morning, in this class five boats were built, but two 

 of them had fallen out. The keel boats, out of nine starts had six 

 firsts and three seconds. Of the boats with the centerboard, one 

 out of the seven starts had one first and five seconds, and the 

 other, out of six starts, had two firsts and one second. His own 

 opinion in regard to the centerboards and keels was, that the 

 keel boat, if properly designed could always be made to beat 

 the centerboard. That, of course, implied that Thistle was not 

 properly designed. (Laughter.) He dared say that was about 

 right. (Laughter.) Mr. Martell had referred to the sails, and tried 

 to let him down easy at the expense of the sail. (Laughter.) That, 

 be thought, was hardly fair. The sails of all racing boats in this 

 country for the past seven or eight years were absolutely perfect. 

 An absolute flat sail would uot drive a boat as well as a slightly 

 curved sail iu light winds. On the first day Volunteer had rather an 

 advantage in that respect, as her sail was not so absolutely flat as 

 that of Thistle. That would have helped her a little. He' had no 

 doubt that the sailmakers in this country were superior to the 

 Americans. 



Professor Jenkins referred to some experiments at which he 

 assisted the late Mr. Fronde some years ago— experience upon the 

 resistance of models. Their object was to determine the manner 

 in which resistance depended as to breadth and depth. They 

 found that the wave-making resistance varied approximately 

 with the breadth of the vessel.— Glasgow HereM.
