ST. LAWRENCE Y. C, June 21.-The first of the series races 

 of the St. Lawrence Y. C. for the season of 1890 was sailed Satur- 

 day afternoon, being little more than a drifting match from rhe 

 start to almost the finish. The starters and their helmsmen were: 



^ FIRST CLASS— 36fT. L.W.L. AND OVEB. 



Chaperon, W Cipuston... 3 58 30 White Squall, J. Gesner..3 59 00 

 Black Eagle, C.H.Levin,.3 59 00 Viking, J. L. Smith 3 59 15 



SECOND CLASS— 21FT. TO 26FT. INCLUSIVE. 



.3 58 00 Breeze, J. Paterson 



.3 58 30 



_ THIRD CLASS— 21FT. AND UNDER. 



Valda. G. H. Duggan 3 58 15 Mabel, J. Lyall 



Pearl, C. Routh .. 



There was a light breeze at the start, except Viking all carrying 

 clubtopsails. V alda and Chaperon carried jihtopsatls as well. ft. 

 was a close reach to the south buoy, and Chaperon got a lead on 

 the fit £t alter it was passed, swinging an enormous hallnoner. 



Lulu, A. Irving. 



Minnie A., C. Smart. . . 



was passed, swinging an enormous ballooner, 

 which did marvellous work for a time. Valda broke out her bal- 

 looner trom stops in splendid style, and holding second place 

 began to creep up on the big cutter. Lulu on this reach showed 

 her speed to be rather increased than diminished bv the changes 

 that have been made in her this spring, leaving her old antago- 

 nists and creeping up to the new ones. Slowly hut surelv Valda 

 and Lulu passed Chaperon, Valda rounding Isle Perrot Buoy with 

 a lead on her big antagonist. The wind had vanished by the time 

 this buoy was reached, and most of the fleet anchored, not once, 

 but frequently. Now and then light airs sprang up from all direc- 

 tions and inch by inch the boats fanned over to the north buoy 

 and started for home, Valda and Lulu still leading the fleet, and 

 Valda ahead of Lulu. A breeze from the south sprang up about 

 seven o clock, which helped the fleet on, and the finish was made 

 with a fine leading breeze and well-filled ballooners, as follows: 

 Tr ., Start. Finish. Elapsed. 



Valda 3 50 00 8 46 00 4 48 00 



Dam ...3 58 15 8 60 00 4 51 45 



Black Eagle. 3 29 00 9 21 30 5 22 30 



Chaperon 3 58 30 9 22 00 5 33 30 



Chaperon therefore wins— under protest entered by Minnie A — 

 111 the. first class: Lulu in second class, and Valda in third class. 

 Valda is omy 30ft. lOin. water line, wbileLulu is 25, and Chaperon 

 26ft. 3in., so that she beat boats with 25 per cent, more water line 

 legth thau she herself has, on elapsed time. Since the above was 

 written, we learn that, the race has been declared off, the time 

 limit having been exceeded. 



"PORT TACK GIVES WAY."— Two incidents in the recent 

 racing m England are noticeable in coutrast to the conduct of 

 some American yachts last season. The competition in the 20- 

 ratmg class is very close this year, and all the boats are sailed to 

 win. In the first race of the Royal Harwich Y. C, on June 9, the 

 two twenties. Dragon and Velzie, were having a hot race when in 

 the second round Dragon held to port tack so long that Velzie 

 went about to avoid a collision. Dragon at once withdrew and 

 Velzie finished alone. Next day, in the second race of the same 

 club, Velzie lufled for Dragon's quarter and her bowsprit touched 

 Dragon's mainsheet. She at once withdrew, and Dragon was 

 given the prize after completing the first round. Instances will 

 suggest themsolves to our readers where yachts have deliberately 

 rammed their way on port tack through an entire fleet, continuing 

 the race without the least thought of giving up, and ready to claim 

 the prize in case they came in first. 



KNICKERBOCKER Y. C. LADIES' DAY.— The Ladies' Day 

 race of the Knickerbocker Y. C, on June 28, was quite a success, 

 although a calm at the end spoiled the interest in die racing. The 

 yachts started at one gun at 2:30 P. M., the course being twice 

 around College Point Buoy: Nyssa, Com. Rousseau; Myra, G. K. 

 Rosenquest; vVhim, W. Sainsbury; Parole, F. Burg: Ida B., H. 

 Sturz; Nauita. Rear-Corn. C. Coughtry; Tourist, Vice-Corn. Black; 

 Unnamed, E. S. Snyder; Maggie, A. Wagner; Vision, A. N. Norris, 

 Gipsey, E. M. Griffiths; Mascotte, A. Lefferts; Torino, J. Four- 

 nier; Supervisor, Dr. E. Ringer, and Alice H., A. H. Holden. 

 Tourist won in her class; a new Cape cat with no name won in 

 hers, and Myra in hers. 



EASTERN Y. C. ANNUAL REGATTA.— The annual regatta of 

 the Eastern Y. C. will be sailed on July 10, the start beingmade off 

 Half-way Rock. Prizes will be given in all the classes of the club 

 from 35ft. up. A very complete programme of the regatta has 

 been issued,with full chart of all courses, and the signals denoting 

 them in colors. It is probable that Sea Fox and Merlin will start, 

 also (Enone and Quickstep. The 48ft. class will have Alga,Thelma, 

 Milicente, Fanita and possibly Uvira and Bayadere. The forties 

 will include Gossoon, Ventura, Minerva and some of the older 

 boats. The smallest class is from 30 to 35ft., but some of the 

 thirties may go up into it. 



A CLOSE FINISH.— In the race of the 10-rating class of June 

 7, Clyde Corinthian Y. C. five yachts started, the new Fife Wood- 

 cock, the new Maida, designed by her owner, Mr. Fred Stephens; 

 the new Fife Encore, last year's crack Yvonne, and the ever 

 youthful Doris. After a race of nearly three hours they finished: 

 Woodcock 2:39:10, Maida 3:39:30, Yvonne 2:40:00, Doris 2:40:48, and 

 Encore 2:44:35. 



ST. LAWRENCE Y. C. OF MONTREAL.— We have received 

 from the St. Lawrence Y. C. a very neat little club book, giving a 

 list of 169 members and 81 boats, 30 being Bteamers. In spite of 

 disadvantages, in the way of shoal water and isolation from out- 

 side competition, the St. Lawrence Y. C. succeeds in keeping up 

 good races each season, and is an active and prosperous club. 



THE AUSTRALIAN CHALLENGER— It is reported that Mr. 

 Walter Reeks does not expect to have his cho llenger ready in 

 America until 1892. She will sail by way of Suez, stopping for a 

 few races in England before coming across the Atlantic. This 

 need not deter other yachtsmen who are anxious to build 90ft. 

 cutters.
