CORINTHIAN Y. C. RACES AT MARBLE HEAD. 



THE result of the three days' racing reported last week gave 

 Minerva and Chiquita each two legs for the Weld cup, as it 

 was supposed; while, as Kathleen was disqualified for passing 

 inside of the can buoy on South Breaker in the first l-ace on 

 Monday, the club prize for the 30ft. class went to Saracen and the 

 Saracen cup to Mignon. In the 27ft. class Swordfish won the 

 cup. The regatta committee, after announcing Minerva as the 

 winner > f the first race on Saturday, decided on Tuesday that 

 there had heen no race, the finish having been marie 23s. after 

 sunset, instead of 23s. before. It is stated that though she 

 crossed before the gun was fired from the Fortuna, the gun was 

 some seconds behind the time of the observatory at Cambridge. 

 As it fortunately happened, the only result was to give Minerva 

 an extra chance to show how much faster she is than all the 

 American boats of her class; but had she met with any mishap in 

 the extra race, and the Weld cup gone to the next boat, Chiquita, 

 18m. astern, a grave injustice would have been done to Minerva 

 by such a decision. It is right enough to have a time limit and to 

 adhere to it to a second, but in this case, instead of a provision 

 that the race should be sailed within a certain numher of hours, 

 there was an arbitrary limit of sunset. As the start was delayed 

 for an hour through no fault of Minerva, it would have been very 

 unfortunate and unfair had she lost the cup and the honors of 

 such a fine series of races. Had a protest been made against the 

 race being awarded to her the committee might have been 

 obliged to entertain if, but after the way in which she has out- 

 sailed them there is not one of her rivals that would have denied 

 Minerva the race on purely technical grounds. 



Aug. 28— Fourth Bay. 

 The wind on Wednesday was light, E.S.E., with a long swell left 

 from the sea of the preceding d;i y. The course was 10 miles to 

 windward and return, starting from Half- Way Rock. Gorilla 

 was unable to complete repairs in lime to start, and Tomahawk 

 had lost interest in the racing and gone to Lawley's to lay up; so 

 only five yachts started, crossing the line as follows: 



Xara . 1 1 25 54 Pappoose 11 26 22 



Minerva 11 26 01 "Chiquita U 26 30 



Alice 11 26 18 



Xara had the lead, but Minerva soon passed her for the day. 

 Before the turn was reached Pappose had worked into second 

 place, the times at the turn being: 



Minerva 1 55 58 Xara 2 11 51 



Pappoose 2 05 50 Chiquita 2 12 45 



Alice 2 10 29 



The run home was made under spinakers, with booms well for- 

 ward. Pappoose made 47s. on Minerva in the ruuning, but lost 

 the race by 5m., corrected time. The full times were:

Xara 11 25 54 4 10 52 4 40 42 4 43 05 



Awj- 29— Fifth Day. 



The ownership of the Weld cup was pretty well settled by Wed- 

 nesday's race, hut a little secondary excitement was infused into 

 the last race on Thursday by the contest for the Carroll cup, 

 offered for a race at Bar Harbor in July, but not sailed, and now 

 open to Gorilla. Pappoose and Alice, the only forties that made 

 the cruise to Mt. Desert. The wind was fresh, N.E. by E., and the 

 course was a triangle from Marblehead Hock around the Whist- 

 ling Buoy off the Graves, then 8 miles to windward and around a 

 mark boat and home. 34 miles. The start was made at 11:39, a wait 

 heing made to accommodate Gorilla, whose new topmast was not 

 quite set up. The start was timed: 



Minerva 11 30 17 Gorilla 11 31 04 



Pappoose 11 30 26 Alice 11 31 35 



Chiquita 11 30 52 



There was some sea and a good breeze at the start, but during 

 the race the wind fell off somewhat. 



On the run to the Graves, partly under spinakers, Minerva only 

 gained 3 minutes on Chiquita, the times being: 



Minerva 12 40 35 Gorilla 12 44 44 



Chkraits 12 43 16 Alice 12 45 23 



Pappoose 12 44 37 



On the next leg, of only 8 miles to windward, she gained 14 

 minutes on the Burgess centerboard Chiquita. On this leg Pap- 

 poose tried a little jockeying with Gorilla, the former being on 

 port tack and the latter on starboard. Gorilla hold her course, 

 and Pappoose just failed to clear her, ca'chiug her bowsprit under 

 Gorilla's boom. The spar held, though it bent badly, bmt the top- 

 mast was pulled out of the little Indian babv, leaving her under 

 lower sails. She cleared away the wreck and continued, making 

 a goo i race in spite, of the breakdown. The times at second mark 

 were: 



Minerva 2 38 00 Pappoose 3 00 20 



Chiquita 2 55 10 Alice 3 05 50 



Gorilla - 2 55 47 



The run in was devoid of incident, Minerva holding her lea.d 

 easily and winning by 18 minutes from Chiquita. The times were: 

 Stare. Finish. Elapsed. Corrected. 



Minerva 11 30 17 3 33 50 4 03 56 4 00 00 



Chiquita 11 30 52 3 51 13 4 21 13 4 18 05 



Pappoose 11 30 20 4 02 02 4 32 20 4 22 25 



Gorilla 11 31 04 3 53 10 4 23 10 4 22 02 



Alice 11 31 35 4 03 27 4 33 27 4 29 31 



Pappoose takes third place from Gorilla under the allowance 

 table of the Eastern Y. C, but in the race for the Carroll cup, 

 sailed under Seawanhaka allowances. Gorilla beat Pappoose. 

 The five races, constituting in all one of the most interesting and 

 instructive series on record, reflects great credit on the Corinth- 

 ian Y. C. The management of the series was in the hands of 

 Messrs. H. H. Buck, H. E. Van Nostrand, W. A. Harvey, F. A. 

 Seameus and E. W. Hodgkins. 



NEW YORK Y. R. A.. FIRST REGATTA, SEPT. 2. 



THE young New York Yacht Racing Association, formed last 

 winter, sailed its first regatta on Sept. 2. the event heing a 

 success in every way. The entries numbered 132, and though 50 

 did not start, the remainder made a very large fleet, 82 in all. The 

 start and finish was off Liberty Island, the courses being: For 

 Classes A, B, C and D to and around Buoy No. M4 on -outhwest 

 Spit. Classes E and F to and around Red Bell Buoy at end of 

 Swash Channel. Classes G, Nos. 1. 2, 5, 6 and 7, round Buoy No. 

 13, off Swinburne island. Classes 3. 4, 8 and 9 found Buoy No. 15, 

 leaving it on port hand, thence to and around Fort Lafayette. 



The yachts were rated under a plain and simple rule "with no 

 plus in it"— length on waterline added to length over all, and the 

 sum divided by 2. There was a whole sail breeze up the Bay and 

 Narrows, making a beat out and run home. The times were:

 and very short leg to S.E. Breaker, a reach to Gales Ledge and 

 trie wind on the quarter home. 



In first class Shark and Elf for some reason did not start; lone 

 broke gaff just before start, leaving Kathleen, Mignon and Har- 

 binger to fight it out- 

 Kathleen got the best start. Harbinger being under her lee and 

 Mignon astern, the latter was not good enough and fell astern. 

 The Cape cat gradually ate up to windward while footing with 

 her competitor, and was first at Half Way Rock, which she 

 rounded at once, standing toward S.E. Breaker, Kathleen stood 

 on a little, but when Harbinger tacked for the Breaker she 

 crossed the sloop's bow; on the reach Kathleen passed her, but 

 running home the cat held her own and won easily" on allowance. 



In second class Hazard and Black Cloud sailed a close race, the 

 latter winning by a trifle. It is to be regretted that the absence 

 of Swor-dhsh's owner kept her out of the Tace. 



In the third class Tom Cat appeared with a large cathoat rig, 

 and was looked on as a winner in the light air. Heron sailed her 

 first race and her big rig made her formidable. The crack C. B. 

 jib and mainsail had a walkover, but sailed over course to try 

 the others; she started reefed. Kiowa appeared with a new and 

 very poor, must that buckled badly. 



Boats crossed in a bunch on gunfire. Heron ran well but fell 

 to leeward, while Kiowa took leadot windward division. Wraith 

 tacked to southward as she cleared the point, others went to 

 northward of Cat Island. For several tacks Kiowa crossed the 

 bows of Mosca and Kathleen by gradually increasing distances, 

 Eureka crawling up, and others dropping astern. 



Outside of Cat Island there was a little sea. Tom Cat dropped 

 back to Heron; Kiowa increased her lead on all but Eureka, who 

 had shaken out reef as breeze became very light. 



Kiowa rounded Half-way Rock first, then Eureka, then Heron, 

 Kathleen, Mosca and Wraith in a bunch, then Tom Cat, followed 

 by Roxy. 



On the run in Eureka's big rig carried her Dast Kiowa, the latter 

 having a small cruising rig, but she could notsave her allowance. 

 On the whole, it was a good day for Cape catboats. In the fourth 

 (hiss Rocket, easily beat Dolphin. Summary as follows. Judges,

First prizes won by Harbinger, Black Cloud, Kiowa. Wraith, 

 Eureka and Rocket; second prize by Heron. Kathleen, 3d class, 

 asked for rerueasnrement after race, report, not yet received, but 

 it cannot change prize. 



The first open race and 153d regatta was sailed at Monument 

 Beach on Sept. 2, and was the most successful race that has been 

 sailed for years in the Bay. The entry was large and made up of 

 the pick of the Cape boats, the wind was true and strong enough 

 to make a good race, and the result in the various classes very 

 close. 



Day opened with a dead calm and fog, the B. B. Y. O. being 

 unable to sail their race, advertised for 9 A. M., on time; but 

 about noon a high S.S.W. breeze struck in, and by 1:30 there was 

 a nice, whole sail breeze, increasing steadily through the race 



In first Qnisset and Climax sailed a good race, both of them 

 beating A. P. E. In second Crawl had just her breeze and took 

 advantage of it, coming within 13s. of Climax on corrected time, 

 with Mist, Wildcat, Widgeon and Defiance close up. Widgeon's 

 new sail is very baggy; she could not point with the others, but 

 reached very fast; when in trim she will bo heard from. Gym- 

 note had just received a new and larger sail, but it fitted so badly 

 that it could not be used. 



In third class Petrel and Eina appeared with new and larger 

 sails, bound to beat Daisy if possible. The latter sailed a very 

 plueky race. Shad cracked her mast badly on Saturday, and 

 could not get a new one; she restopped it, turned part way round, 

 and started to race till mast went. 



Daisy led olf, Eina about half her allowance behind; it. was very 

 close work, but Eina finally caught up wit h Daisy, but could not 

 pass her, as Daisy had weather gauge. They finished first round 

 together, Daisy 2s. ahead; Eina finally passed her, but too late to 

 make up her allowance. 



The little fellows also sailed a close race, Edith winning by 35s. 

 Kitten protests Reba J or fouling Buoy 3. Protest not yet decided. 



In the special class Reliance beat Ramona handsomely.
