THE ATLANTIC DIVISION MEET, JULY 13-22. 



THE second annual meet of the Atlantic Division was held last 

 week at the mouth of Cheesequake Greek, on Raritan Bay, 

 in New Jersey, the camp beginning on Saturday and continuing 

 through the following week. Last year, the first of the new divi- 

 sion, no permanent camp was made, a cruising meet being sub- 

 stituted, but this season it was decided to spend the whole time 

 in camp. Cheesequake Creek was selected on account of its cen- 

 tral and easily accessible position, between New York and Phila- 

 delphia and on the line of the leading railways. The camp site 

 was located along the side of a high sandy bluff, the tents of the 

 Brooklyn, Ianthe and Arlington clubs being pitched on the plateau 

 at the top, the other tents anout the slope and foot, and the canoes 

 and shore tents along the beach, a stretch of clean yellow sand 

 and gravil running for miles in either direction. The beach 

 shelves so gradually that at low water a man can walkout over an 

 eighth of a mile, but no trouble was experenced in laying out a 

 very good triangular course for sailing and a straight course along 

 the snore for paddling. The view from the bluff was very fine, 

 Perth Amboy perched on a hill a couple of miles away on the 

 west, the green hills and picturesque shores of Staten Island to 

 the north, and further away the Lower Bay and Coney Island; 

 while the races could be viewed to perfect? 03. 



The camp was formally opened on July 13, by Rcar-Com. L. R 

 Palmer, of the IanthoC. C.,in the abence of the vice-com.tnodore, 

 and during the day canoeists came in from all points, a small 

 steamer being secured to run between Perth Amboy and the camp 

 each day. A number of canoeists from New Vork and Brooklyn 

 pitched "their tents and came from the city every night, returning 

 to business in the morning. Among the clubs repres"nted were 

 the Arlington. Brooklyn, Bayonne, Hoboken, Ianthe, Crescent, a 

 new club lately organized at Greenville, on Newark Bay, Knicker- 

 bocker, New York, Paterson, Red Dragon, Perth Amboy, Hart- 

 ford and Yonkers. The first part of the week was spent in sailing 

 and preparing for the races which took place oa Friday and 

 Saturday, under the direction of Messrs. Schuyler and Quick, the 

 regatta committee. On Friday Ex-Vice-Com. Stanton reached 

 camp in his cutter Vandal, but was obliged to anchor well off 

 shore, the yacht drawing fift. On Saturday he dressed shin in 

 honor of the occasion. Mr. Vatix sailed down in his canoe yawl 

 Penguin, while Mr. Cox, of Newark, came in a curious canoe 

 cutter, a craft of canoe buiid, but with an overhang aft and draw- 

 ing over 3ft. A number of sneakboxes and a St. Lawrence skiff 

 made up the list of unclassified boats. Among the new boats 

 were the Atom, Mr. Vaux's handsome. Evcrson racer, Rear-Corn. 

 Palmer's new Rushton, Cigarette, a handsome new boat by Wig- 

 nail, of Philadelphia, modelled after the Fly, and Siren, a verj- 

 uice specimen of amateur boat building by Mr. O. F. Coe. 



The races were held on Friday and Saturday, the weather being 

 lair and a good breeze blowing on each day. The unlimited sail- 

 ing was the most exciting ->f all, the three rounds being very 

 closely contested by Messrs. Forrest and Vaux. There were ten 

 starters, the course being 4^ miles, the wind fresh N. W. and the 

 tide a strong ebb offshore by the outer buoy. Mr. Vaux fouled 

 the flag as he started, coming to the line a little too soon and re- 

 crossing, being last over except Mr. Palmer, who was very late in 

 getting away. Dimple led at the start, a free reach, but Atom 

 worked up through the fleet and nearly caught the leader in the 

 windward work on the second leg, leading Dimple on the run in. 

 They came for the buoy at the end of the second round with Atom 

 a length ahead, hut outside, and as she ^ as compelled to give 

 room at the buoy Dimple cut in ahead of her, making a neat jibe 

 and taking the lead on the last round. On the thiid round Atom 

 was very close to Dimple, but failed to catch her. Ianthe started 

 so far in the rear that she was not in with the others. She car- 

 ried 135ft. of sail, much more than any other. Nenemooska sailed 

 a good race, finishing third. The special cruising race was won by 

 Mr. Cox in a Canadian canoe fitted for sailing, with decks and 

 cenferboard. As usual, the large craft and unclassified canoes did 

 not enter, only three starting. The hu; ry-scurry race was a nov- 

 elty, all the contestants wading out to the canoes after a foot race 

 on the beach, there not being depth enoueh to make it necessary 

 to swim. On Saturday afternoon Mr. J. L, Kearney, of Perth 

 Amboy, sailed over with a boatload of pretty girls and all the 

 materials for a clambake, which was held on the beach after the 

 races. 



In the evening the annual meeting was held about the camp- 

 fire, with Vice-Com. Stephens presiding. The division officers 

 were elected for the following year as follows: Vice-Corn., M. 

 V. Brokaw, Brooklyn C. C; Bear Com., Irving V. Dorland, 

 Arlington C. C; Purser, W. R. Haviland, Yonkers C. C. Executive 

 Committee, Messrs. Henry La Motte, of Phi ladelphia, and F. W. 

 Kitchell, of Perth Amboy. A resolution to the Executive Com- 

 mittee recommending that the number of members necessary to 

 the establishment of a new division be reduced from 100 to 50 was 

 introduced by Mr. R. J. Wilkin and carried. The prizes were 

 presented by the chairman of the Regatta Committee, Mr. Schuy- 

 ler. Some very good music was furnished by a quartette from 

 the Yonkers C. C. and the rest of the evening was spent very 

 pleasantly over some big watermelons. On Sunday a number of 

 the canoeists started to cruise home and the meet was practi- 

 cally concluded. It was in every way a success and promises 

 well for a large A. C. A. meet in the division next year. The full 

 summary of the races is as follows:

Stranger— "I say. Johnnie, is it, against the laws to catch 

 fish in that pond?" Johnnie— '"Yes, sir." ''But there's a 

 police officer fishing there now. He wouldn't do so if it was 

 against the law." "Well, it may not be against the State 

 law to catch fish in that pond, but it's against the laws of 

 nature, for there isn't a blessed fish in it."— Yonkers States- 

 man

THE YACHT RACE. 



BY K. H. 



A RATTLING breeze from out the west 

 Stretches like drumheads ev'ry sail, 

 Each wave beats like a muffled flail 

 Upon the glist'ning hulls that breast 

 The endless droves of tossing manes 

 Hurrying across the wind-swayed plains. 



Haul taut each sheet until it sing^ 



Like chords of an kalian harp; 



Now see the long bows, clean and sharp, 

 Uueh forward, sped by tireless wings 



That cleave their way into the wind 



While long waves stretch away behind. 



What grander sense of power than this 

 To feel the sea's strong shoulder pressed 

 Against the helm, as though 'twould wrest, 



It from thy grasp; while salt sprays kiss 

 The wings that glance across the swells 

 And scuppers foam like boiling wells. 



Ten miles to windward, cross and cross 

 The white fleet beats toward the mark, 

 While hemp and cauvas strain. Now, hark 



How as the glad waves toss' and toss, 

 The boll-buoy breaks upon the ear 

 Its brazen note more tlear and clear. 



And now it mounts upon a swell. 



Another reach and it's a-lee. 



Now swirling in the heavy sea, 

 The leader turns, with sheets eased well. 



And, the next mament, bursts her cloud 



Of spinaker athwart the shroud. 



Then like some downy, snow-white fleck,. 



She's blown across the blue expanse. 



The fresh wind seems to pause in trance, 

 To those who stand upon her deck. 



The seas to cease their headlong race 



In homage to her matchless grace. 



The breeze dies with the setting suu. 

 But not until the trembling air, 

 Ruffling the waters here and there, 



Has wafted on its chosen one 

 Across a goal of gleaming gold. 

 And then the conq'ring pinions fold. 



RACING AT MARBLEHEAD. 



EASTERN Y. C. ANNUAL REGATTA, JULY 15-16. 



IN spite of the great annoyance aud disappointment caused by 

 the absence of the outer marks on the fiist day of the Eastern 

 Y. C, annual regatta, the racing as a whole may be considered a 

 great success, as a good race was made in each class, and the wet 

 jackets and cold rain of the first day were well paid for by the 

 glorious weather of the second. The racing may be divided into 

 four parts— that of the schooners, the larger single-stickers, the 

 forties and the thirties. From the following list of entries it will 

 be seen that, as usual, the turnout was but meagre, especially in 

 the large single-stick classes, only Clara, Alga and Fanita being 

 present; but the number and exceUence of the smaller heats, as 

 well as the close matching in the larges t class of schooners, made 

 the sport most exciting. The entries were as follows, those marked 

 thus * not starting:
