FOREST AND STREAM. 



13© 



The cabin and forecastle, with a small toilet room, take up 

 the entire boa t. The house is low, only loin, from deck, but there 

 is plenty of headroom, in fact the bouse is hardly necessary in 

 such a model. The cabin is very bright and comfortable in appear- 

 ance and gives the impression of quite a large room in a house. 

 Chiquita is fitted with one of Crandall's extension spinaker 

 booms, a hollow spar. Baboon is similar to Pappoose below, a 

 main cabin amidship with stateroom aft. Of course the added 

 beam and length give? more room, but not to such an extent as 

 might he supposed. The cabin and stateroom are each larger, 

 but still there are no more berths. Xara and Minerva did not 

 come round, the latter not yet being in trim after her ocean voy- 

 age. Crocodile and Rival were expected to start, but neither did 

 so, though the former was present. The starters were: Banshee, 

 P, S. Pearsall; Nymph, W. W. Flint; Ohiquita,, A. Hemmenway; 

 Baboon, C. F. Adams: Pappoose, Simpkins and Thayer. 



The weather was clear and warm, the wind moderate from 

 S.W. and the tide near the last quarter of the ebb, when the 

 first gun was tired at 11:15, the preparatory interval being hut 

 5min. Banshee, sailed by Mr. A. B. Alley, went over the line 

 first, with intermediate jibtopsail set, while Pappoose came next, 

 with small jibtopsail. All were limited to working topsails. 

 Chiquita crossed in good season. Nymph went over as the handi- 

 cap gun fired, and Baboon lost 46 seconds by the handicap. The 

 start was timed: 



Banshee 11 21 03 Nvmph 11 24 55 



Pappoose 11 23 00 Baboon 11 25 46 



Ohiquita 11 24 06 



Baboon was noticeable from her white spars, gaff and top- 

 mast, Mansfield's patent hollow spars, wrapped with paper. 

 She. had also a liberal allowance of battens, three each in main- 

 sail and jib and one in foresail. She and Pappoose steered with 

 tillers, the others with wheels. Her owner, Mr. O. F. Adams, was 

 at the stick. On board Cniquita were Mr. Burgess, Mr. Hemmen- 

 way, Dr. John Bryant and Capt. ('rocker, the latter at the wheel. 

 Mr. Flint and Mr. IS. A. Willard were on Nymph; while Pappoose 

 was sailed by her skipper, Capt. Watson. The order was not 

 changed on the short reach across to first mark, the times being: 



Banshee 11 50 15 Nymph 11 54 OS 



Pappoose 11 52 37 Baboon U SB 02 



Chiquita 11 53 15 



All set spinakers to starboard a9 they came round the buoy, 

 there beiug very little difference in the time in which each exe- 

 cuted the maneuver. Balloon jiptopsails were also sent up. 

 Banshee held a good lead, but ran more to the south, and at 12:08 

 took in her spinaker, running for eight minutes without it, when 

 she set it again. As the rest carried theirs she lost by the change. 

 Chiquita passed Pappoose about 12:15 and then caught and passed 

 Banshee, steering a more direct course than the hitter and mak- 

 ing the mark a little ahead. Baboon ran very fast and passed 

 Nymph, taking fourth place. The times at the Stamford mark 

 were: 



Chiquita 1 09 27 Baboon 1 14 39 



Banshee 1 09 51 Nymph 1 14 50 



Pnnpoose 1 12 10 



The actual times over the leg-, a distance of about ten knots, 

 were: 



Chiquita 1 16 12 Pappoose 1 19 43 



Baboon 1 18 37 Nvmph 1 20 48 



Banshee 1 19 36 



Here the leading boat, a keel craft, in spite of her board, with 

 7ft. draft, outran the other two centerboards, while Baboon, with 

 8ft. 3in. draft, came next, and Pappoose, in spite of 4ft. less length, 

 held her own with Banshee and beat Nymph. 



Now came the best part of the race, the beat back to Hempstead 

 against a good scupper breeze for all. Chiquita and Banshee 

 were well away before the others turned, both starting on port 

 tack and laying as high as possible. There was little difference 

 noticeable iu them at first, Chiquita being, however, the ■ stiff er. 

 Baboon and Nymph came round together, the keel boat to wind- 

 ward, but Nymph soon started to outweather her. Nymph was 

 pointed higher, but Baboon ran away from her too fast and she gave 

 it up. All started home on port tack, the first to go about being 

 Pappoose, at 1:18, making a short hitch and staying again, at 1:21, 

 to windward of Nymph. Chiquita, well ahead, made the same 

 maneuver, standing to the south for 2m. at 1:22. Baboon tacked 

 for the first time at 1:27:30, going about again at 1:80V£ between 

 Pappoose and Nymph, then nearly abreast, but astern of both. At 

 1:45 the two leaders were about % mile ahead of the others. Ban- 

 shee perhaps 200yds. ahead of Chiquita, but more than that dis- 

 tance to leeward. All were carrying small jibtopsails. At 1:45 

 Pappoose, on starboard, crossed Baboon's bow, the pair then well 

 to windward of Nymph. At 2:08 both Pappoose and Baboon again 

 made another hitch to the south, holding it for nearly 6m. 



All this time Banshee had not tacked and Ohiquita had made 

 but one short leg, and yet both were looking up well for the 

 mark. Nymph, too, though astern, was laying her course for the 

 mark. Neither Baboon nor Papoose could have made the 

 course in a single leg, but both threw away a good deal by the 

 many tacks they made and the distance they finally overstood. 

 When they left the Nymph, about 1:35, the three were about even, 

 and had they stayed nearer to her she would probably have come 

 out ahead, but as it was they threw away a part of the distance 

 by standing over too far. When Banshee set her jibtopsail at the 

 lee mark the halliard was left slack, the sail hanging loose along 

 the stay. She sailed with it in this shape until within a couple of 

 miles of the Hempstead mark, when the halliard was set up prop- 

 erly. Ttie result was at once apparent, as she began to leave Ch i- 

 quita very fast. Nearing the mark the puffs came in pretty heavily 

 and Chiquita took in her jibtopsail. Both were bothered a little 

 by the working schooners that were passing, but neither gained 

 over the other in this way. The mark was turned: 



Banshee 2 43 07 Pappoose 2 52 30 



Chiquita 2 45 27 Baboon 2 52 50 



Nymph 2 49 22 



The elapsed times then over the windward leg were: 



Banshee 1 34 16 Baboon 1 88 11 



Nymph 1 34 32 Pappoose 1 40 20 



Ohiquita 1 36 00 



Banshee and Nymph, both sailing the leg without a tack, came 

 out very evenly in point of time; Chiquita, with one short tack, 

 was next, while the two keels were considerably astern, bu t partly 

 through bad pilotage. The last short leg, with wind free, was 

 soon sailed. Banshee set her spinaker to port, but Chiquita con- 

 tented herself with a balloon jibtopsail: Nymph, Baboon and 

 Pappoose also set spinakers. A wandering puff struck the spin- 

 aker on Nymph and carried it up over the topmast stav, so that 

 her crew were only too glad to get it in, and the same mischievous 

 squall served Banshee nearly as badly, lifting the spinaker boom 

 high in the air, so that it was quickly taken in. The official times 

 were: 



Start. Finish. Elapsed. 



Banshee 11 21 03 3 07 46 3 46 43 



Pappoose 11 23 00 3 16 47 3 53 46 



Chiquita .11 24 06 3 09 25 3 45 19 



Nymph .11 24 55 3 13 04 3 48 09 



Baboon 11 25 00 3 16 09 3 51 49 



None of the boats were officially measured by the Larchmont 

 Y. C. rule, but it is certain that Chiquita wins. Her crew started 

 for Boston a/t once in order to sail Shadow on Saturday, so she 

 could not start in the club regatta. On Thursday Mr. Burgess 

 had telegraphed to the club asking that clubtopsails might be 

 allowed. The reply was that it could not be permitted, as yachts 

 had already entered under the published conditions, but that a 

 prize would be given for a third race on Monday, for this class 

 only, with clubtopsails, and that as many races as desired and 

 under any sail, would be arranged to follow. 



ANNUAL FALL TJ EC; ATT A, SEPT. 1. 



It speaks little for the sporting spirit of New York yachtsmen 

 when they allow a good race to go by without entries in some of 

 the best classes and with only one or two in others. The Larch- 

 mont Y. C. provided everything, without even an entrance fee, 

 but the racing men did not show up. However, it will soon be 

 winter again, and the lively and exciting sport of newspaper 

 racing will give a chance to tnese sportsmen to prove how fast 

 their craft are. For the large schooners and sloops the course and 

 winds are not as good as one could wish, but the 70-footers have 

 had some very good races over the same course. Shamrock and 

 Fanny were in the harbor, and Pocahontas sailed with the fleet, 

 but neither started in the race. Mischief alone turned up in the 

 next class, and Anaconda in the class below, so the two were 

 matched in order to make a,ny race for them. The 47ft. class 

 should have had some entries, but no boats appeared. The 40- 

 footers came out best of all, With six starters, Baboon, Banshee, 

 Pappoose, Crocodile, Nymph and Inez, the latter an old center 

 board sloop not known as a racer, the restneeding no introduction. 

 Unfortunately Chiquita's crew had left, so she did not enter, but 

 started for Boston in the morning. In the class under 35ft. there 

 were but three starters, in the next class two, in the one below 

 that none, and so down to the end. In the schooners only Agres 

 and 'Tioga started. 



During the night there had been a hard squall of rain, the wind 

 shifting all about, and the day broke with a cloudy sky and a. 

 very uncertain look to the weather. The sun came out, however, 

 with a moderate breeze from the northward, and by 9 A, M. there 

 was wind enough to start the race. Knowing the uncertainty ! 



a northerly breeze, it would have been sound policy for the com- 

 mittee to have sailed the race at the earliest possible moment, 

 but a long wait was made, until 11:35, before the start was given. 

 1 ho consequence was that the wind blew itself out before the 

 race was finished, leaving the boats for the last hour without any 

 wind. The starters were as follows:

Classes E and 1, after turning the first mark off Hempstead 

 Harbor, ran to a mark off Stamford Light, returning over the 

 same course. All the other classes turned the Hempstead mark 

 in going out , then ail but 13 and 10 turned a mark olf Captain's 

 Island. From here Class 7 went home, by way of Hempstead 

 mark; 8, 9. 11 and 12 went home direct; 13 and 16 turned Mattinni- 

 cock buoy, and then came straight home. Besides two Gash prizes 

 iu each class special prizes were offered for yachts in Class 3 and 

 those in Crass? 4, built prior to 1883, provided they did not win a club 

 prize. The Connor cup was also offered for Class 3. The prepara- 

 tory gun fired at 11:30, and 5m. later the start was given. Iseult 

 was the first to get away, crossing the line promptly, with Nymph 

 close by her. Both were carrying spinakers to port and balloon 

 jibtopsails. Banshee performed some queer maneuvers above the 

 line and was late i n crossing, beiug handicapped. The majority 

 of the fleet crossed in good season. Iseult and Nvmph inula 

 brush for a time, the Burgess boat going ahead, while Anaconda 

 came up with the pair. The three were still some distance ahead 

 of the pack when the tug Narragansett, with a string of four coal 

 barges in tow, each with a long tow line, ran directly across the 

 course. The captain of the tug could not have failed to see the 

 fleet of racers, and had he slowed down in good season rite tide 

 would have held his tow and he could have cleared the fleet, but 

 lie kept his course, going very slowly. The only thing to do was 

 to luff up, so in came the spinakers on the three leaders. Nymph 

 made a push and ran to leeward after getting in her spinaker, 

 crossing the bows of the tug, but Iseult and Anacouda went astern 

 of the last coal barge. By the time that their spinakers were set 

 again the rest of the fleet had caught them, thus taking all the 

 advantage they had gained by an early start. Baboon was close 

 astern of Iseult, tin ning the mark with her. Nymph and Ana- 

 conda, after being separated by the tow, came to the mark exactly 

 at the same time. The times at Hempstead mark were: 



Nvmph 12 17 11 Volusia 12 20 an 



Anaconda 12 17 31 Crocodile 12 21 15 



Iseult 12 18 40 Agnes 12 22 31 



Baboon 12 18 52 Banshee. 12 23 22 



Inez .12 19 24 Pappoose 12 23 46 



Wacondah 12 19 30 Lakshmi 12 21 57 



Sirene 12 20 21 



Anaconda and Mischief started sheets for the Stamford mark, 

 while the others set small jiptopsails and trimmed in sheets for 

 the reach across to Captain's Island mark. Nymph and Baboon 

 led the fleet, the open sandbagger Sirene also being well up to the 

 front. Banshee, with a balloon foresail and small jibtopsail. was 

 still a long way astern of the two leaders, but ahead of Pappoose 

 and Crocodile, the latter doing very poorly, Iseult had a very 

 long lead of her class, hanging on to the bigger boats until they 

 separated at Captain's Island. The times taken at this mark 

 were: 



Nymph 1 22 22 Agnes 1 32 05 



Baboon 1 24 13 Iseult 1 32 30 



Banshee 1 30 39 Pappoose 1 32 45 



Sirene 1 32 05 Crocodile 1 32 52 



Nymph had slightlv increased her lead on Baboon, while Ban- 

 shee had gained on both. They now started back over the same 

 course to Hempstead, while Iseult and Sirene trimmed in close 

 for the reach along shore to the finish. The wind was very light 

 out in the Sound, with calm patches, and the race across to Hemp- 

 stead was largely a matter of luck. Baboon passed Nymph when 

 about half way across and from there out left her, the two turn- 

 ing the last mark at .2:29:01 and 2:31:29. The beat, of three miles to 

 the finish took over an hour, Baboon finishing at 3:42:40 and 

 Nymph at 4:08:50. Banshee and Pappoose wore a very long dis- 

 tance as+ern. Iseult won easily in her class, beating Volusia by 

 10m. 40s., elapsed time. The official times are as follows, the cor- 

 rected times being subject to the measurement of most of the 

 yachts:

SPECIAL HACK, SEPT. 4. 



On Monday a third race for the 40ft. class was sailed, clubtop- 

 sails being allowed. The course was from Hempstead Harbor, 12 

 miles to windward, turning a mark off Stamford Light, and 

 return. The wind was moderate from N. E. The starters were 

 Nympb, Banshee and Baboon. The start was made at 11.18, 

 Baboon crossing first and Banshee second. Iu the beat to wind- 

 ward Nymph led, with Baboon second, the former turning with a 

 gocd lead. Spinakers were carried on the way home, Nymph still 

 leading. The times are:

At 10 A. M. a thunder squall passed over the fleet, causing all to 

 stow canvas quickly, but the weather soon cleared and a calm fol- 

 lowed. By 1:30 P. M. there was a light N. W. wind, so the race 

 was started. The wind shifted to S.W. with calms at times 

 making flukes for some of the lucky ones. The full times were:

protest for shifting ballast. It was found, however, that Bertha 

 did not belong to any club, so she was disqualified, Unknown tak- 

 ing first prize and Zara second. Millie wins the silk pennant, 



while Peri takes the Sands cup for the second time. The judges

AN ACCIDENT TO A YACHT.— On Aug. 25 the sloop Fanny, , 

 of Saybrook, Conn., with a pleasure party numbering six ladies 

 and four gentlemen, struck u rock in Plum Gut and sank. All on | 

 board were rescued by boats from shore, out with the loss of 

 clothing and valuables. One lady was nearly drowned by being ' 

 caught under the rigging. \ 



ROCHESTER Y. C, WOLTERS CUP. — In the first of the 

 series of five club races for the Wolters $50 prize cup only the 

 Scotch cutter Madge, 40ft.. and the new Rochester cutter Amelia, 

 27ft., started. The wind was fresh from S.W. and Madge won by 

 over an hour. Although her owner refused to enter her against 

 the Madge, the cutter Velnette, 24ft., last year's cup winner, 

 sailed the course against Amelia, being beaten 16s. The course 

 is a 15-mile triangle. This is the first time these two boats have 

 met in a race, and the interest was great. The immense advan- 

 tage of the Madge over yachts half her size makes her final suc- 

 cess a matter of no question, but no doubt the races between the 

 smaller yachts, for whom the cup was intended, will keep the 

 interest up. The dates set for the races were Aug. 16 and 30, 

 Sept . 13, 20 and 27. The serious injury to the yacht fleet in the 

 storm of last month has been a great disappointment to Roches- 

 ter yachtsmen who have worked very hard to make yachting 

 popular in their city. During the storm a large lake schooner 

 drove down on the fleet at its moorings, tearing the yachts adrift 

 and badly injuring them, after which tney drifted ashore. 



ANOTHER RACE FOR THE 40-FOOTERS— The Hull Y. C. 

 has offered special prizes for the 4V and 40ft. classes in its open 

 race on Sept. 8, and it is hoped to have Alga, Vixen and Fanita in 

 the 47ft., and Baboon, Chiquita and Xara in the 40ft. class. Min- 

 erva will not enter any races this season. 



LAUNCH OF A STEAM YACHT.— On August an iron steam 

 yacht 100ft. long was launched at Roach's old yard, Chester, Pa. 

 Her name is Clifton and she was built for Mr. C. H. Mallory, of 

 New York.
