 America, and who presented to the club the America's Cup as an 

 international challenge cup.

 The funeral, on Monday, in Mew York, was very Simple, the 

 body being finally taken to the family plot at Tarrytown. 



The fleet, with colors at half mast, started from New Loudon 

 about 9:30, no times being taken and no attempt at racing being 

 made, save that occasional brushes took place between one pair 

 or another of the yaohts. Titania and Grayling led the fleet in, 

 ii sailed very well on the whole run, while Quickstep had a 

 \ ery good place at. the finish. Just off the torpedo station were 

 the vessels of the British fleet, Bellerephon, Canada and Partridge, 

 arrived from Halifax during the morning. The day had been 

 warm but pleasant, with a free wind in tne morning, drawing 

 abeam later on, and save for the depressing occurrence of the 

 morning the run was a very pleasant one. At anchor in Newport 

 were enough yachts to bring the total of New York Y. C. fleer, up 

 to 125, while a number of outside yachts were there as well, Awa, 

 Milioete, Kathleen, and smaller craft without number. On the 

 run Pocahontas lost her topmast, but had a new one in next day, 

 while Halcyon broke her main boom. 



GOELET CUPS, AUG. 1, NEWPORT. 



All through the spring, when regatta after regatta was started 

 With fewsinglestickers and no schooners, the cry has been that the 

 racers were waiting for the New York Y. C. cruise, that t hen all 

 would be ready and there would he plenty of racing. Now that the 

 cruise has come and gone it looks as though, in the schooner class 

 at least, the Goelet cup and the Eastern regatta would ma ke up 

 the sum total of the year's racing, the result being but little bet- 

 ter in the singlestick classes. The Goelet. cups have for the past 

 five years been the leading event, of tho season, taking precedence 

 even of the New York Y. C. regatta in June, and the ownership 

 of the cup has in a way settled the question of superiority in each 

 class for the year. Considering its importance, the present race 

 cannot be called a success or much above the low level of all the 

 racing this year. The schooner race was welcome as a novelty, 

 but the absence of Grayling robbed it of much interest ; Sea Fox 

 who was looked to tor a hard battle with Merlin, made a very 

 poor showing all day: Marguerite, sailing her first race since some 

 important alterations, had smelied bottom on the previous day 

 and could not got her board down; Quickstep, the smallest, and 

 • one of the smartest, of the schooners, and ready to try to repeat 

 her performance of last year at Marblehead, when she saved her 

 time from the Meet, carried away the jaws of her main gaff in the 

 morning, and was out of the race before it begun. Miranda, who 

 has not raced for a couple of years, was also entered to trv the 

 result of recent alterations, but in stowing her mainsail oil the 

 previous night the boom was allowed to drop on the wheel, 

 smashing the latter very badly, and although her captain went 

 to Boston that night in search of a new one, he had not returned 

 when the fleet went out to the start. The starters in the schooner 

 class were but six, Merlin, Sea Fox, Palmer, .Marguerite, CEoone, 

 und Mayflower, a very good lot, but by no means the fleet that 

 should start if all the schooner racing of a season is to be condensed 

 into a single race. 



The half a dozen starters in the singlestick class were hardly 

 more satisfactory, ranging in size from 40ft. up to 86, with all the 

 posibilities of big flukes which accompany such a fleet. Volunteer 

 was once more under her racing colors, and apparently in fine 

 form, hut it was not expected that Puritan would save time from 

 her, or make the race other than a walkover. Puritan, looking 

 much as of old, with Capt. Crocker in his usual place at the 

 Wheel, was on hand, but in the next class two important yachts 

 were missing. Shamrock being absent altogether, and Titania. 

 under her old rig and with working topsail, merely sailing around 

 in -'could if I would" sort of way that must have been intensely 

 provoking to her classmates. Katrina was present, but without, 

 her owners on board; and Gracie, also improved by alterations 

 during the winter, was eager for the chance that was denied her 

 last .lane. Clara was on hand in case of light weather or any 

 stray flukes, and Gossoon, with nearly 50 minutes to take from 

 Volunteer, was also ready, 



Minerva's owner has lately been seriously ill and left Newport 

 this same day under the orders of his physician on a trip to the 

 West, bis brother accompanying him. Minerva was left in cbarfee 

 of Mr, Gouverneur Kortright, but owing to Mr. Carroll's illness she 

 was not ready to go in. Mr. Carroll has been forbidden to race 

 again '.his year, even in the case of a speedy recovery, and what 

 the result will be on Minerva's entries in future races remains to 

 be seen . 



The early morning brought a violent thunder squall about 

 5 A. M., I he heavy wind causing a number of yachts to drag in the 

 harbor, b it at 7 A. M. there was little wind and less promise of 

 any. Th S fleet started out, however, and by 11 A. M. the flagship 

 was at anchor to the southward of Brenton's Reel i : i , e 

 with alight breeze from N.N.E. blowing out the code signals for 

 the historic "Sow and Pigs" course, 17J4 miles east, soulheasl to 

 Sow and Pigs Lightship, thence 4H miles north to Hen and 

 Chickens Lightship, and thence 16% miles west, % north to the 

 finish at Brenton's Reef Lightship. 



The preparatory gun was fired at 11:33. and the starling gun for 

 the sinalestickers 10 minutes later. Clara, snowing a couple of 

 bale sticks in her mainsail in true Yankee fashion, was first over 

 on port tack, with Volunteer just to leeward of her. Puritan. 

 Katrina and Gracie were together some little distance, astern of 

 Volunteer, Gracie under Katrina's lee quarter, while Gossoon was 

 last. The crossing interval was 5 minutes, the gun at the end 

 being aho the signal for the schooners to start; but in spite of the 

 signals displayed with each gun the whole schooner fleei was 

 bad ly handicapped. Marguerite was first over, GEnone second and 

 Palmer third. These, witn Mayflower, crossed the weather end of 

 the line, but. Merlin lumbered down to leeward and was forced to 

 tack near Electra's stern and stand along to the line to the. other 

 end. Sea Fox was just ahead of Merlin. The actual times of the 

 start, were not taken from the bridge, but the lot was badly handi- 

 capped; while the start was sluggish and slovenly in the extreme 

 so much so as to suggest, the desirability of a "one gun'' start in 

 hopes that it may stir men up a little, or. on the other Land' e.f 

 giving a still longer interval, say of 15 or "20 minutes, so that i le 

 disgrace of such an unnecessary handicap as in this case may be 

 nominally avoided. 



The entire, fleet started on the port tack, all carrying clubtop- 

 sails and first or second jibtopsails, the schooners mostly carry- 

 ing maintopmaststaysails. The leaders held the port tack for 

 some time, the wind still blowing light N.N.E., with a weather- 

 going tide. At the end of the first half hour Volunteer, have is 

 increased her lead on the fleet, was furthest off shore save Gracie 

 now under her lee. Puritan, Katrina, Clara and Gossoon were to 

 windward of Volunteer, the latter well in shore. Marguerite 

 first of the schooners, was some distance astern of the single I ii |j 

 division, hut well ahead of her sisters, GEnone, Mayflower and 

 Palmer being abeam of each other, while Merlin and Sea, Fox 

 were still some distance astern, Merlin having passed to wind- 

 ward and taken the lead ot Fox. 

 At, about 13:30 Volunteer caught t he first puff of an easterly breeze 

 which headed her off and then ran back to turn the others, mak- 

 ing the course a dead beat for the remaining 13 or 11 miles. Both 

 Clara and Gossoon had held as far as possible to windward since 

 the start, and when the new breeze met them thev tacked. Gos- 

 soon at 12:30 and Clara at 12:33, heading somewhere up the Sakon- 

 nett Paver. The posit ions now were: Volunteer, well to the south 

 with Gracie to leeward of her, and Katrina well to windward of 

 Gracie's port quarter, Puritan being to windward of the pair, and 

 the entire quartette on the original port tack. Inshore and astern 

 of them were Clara and Gossoon on starboard tack. Gossoon hav- 

 ing caught Clara or nearly so. Mayflower was traveling to the front 

 of the schooner fleet, and Merlin was working her way steadily 

 after her, Sea Fox doing little to speak of. 



About 12:10 Puritan tried the in shore tack. Volunteer at once 

 following her about, but Katrina and Gracie preferred the open 

 water, and hammered along nearly to the outer mark on the off 

 shore tack, Katrina steadily gaining. The schooners held this 

 latter course also, the fleet being thus broken into two divisions. 

 At 1:07 Volunteer went on port tack, to the eastward of Wear 

 Island, Puritan at once following, and a quarter of an hour later 

 both took in jibtopsails and laid as clo-e as possible for the long 

 leg to the lightship, Volunteer was gaining on Puritan; Katrina, 

 to the south, was beating Gracie badlv; and Gossoon and Clara, 

 now far astern of Volunteer, were falling further apart with each 

 mile the little white cutter sailed. Merlin had caught and passed 



Mayflower long before the mark was reached, while Marguerite, 

 unable, to lower her hoard, had dropped to last place. Palmer 

 also was beaten and did not, turn the mark. The times at the 

 Vineyard Haven (Sow and Pigs) Lightship were: 



Volunteer a 20 30 Gracie 3 12 SO 



Puritan 2 32 40 Clara- 3 14 25 



Katrina 2 52 07 Sea Fox 3 17 05 



Gossoon 3 06 00 CKnone 3 24 06 



Merlin 3 07 16 Marguerite 3 33 00 



Mayflower 3 09 40 



Gossoon, though outside ot her allowance from Volunteer, had 

 taken the honors on the long beat out, leading not only Clara and 

 Gracie, but all the schooners, and making almost as good elapsed 

 time as Merlin and Mayflo wer. She had beaten. Clara over llm., 

 and though a part of this was due to some fluking under the New- 

 port shore in the early part of the race, a great, deal of it was, so 

 far as could be seen, on fair sailing. 



The short leg to Hen and Chickens was a close reach, Volunteer 

 turning the second mark just as Katrina turned the first. Little 

 Gossoon held ber place over part of this leg, and then the big 

 schooners passed her. Gracie had come down to working topsail 

 and no jibtopsail before the first mark, but Katrina carried her 

 club and int ermedia.te jibtopsail. There is little to tell of the pro- 

 cession home under spinakers after the fleet left Hen and Chick- 

 ens, the times at that mark being, so far as taken: 



Volunteer 2 51 02 Katrina 3 23 28

The schooner cup goes to Merlin, the previous winners being: 

 1882, '83, Montauk; 1884, '86, Grayling; 1885, Fortuna; 1887, '88, 

 Sachem, and 1889, Sea Fox. The singlestick cup has been won as 

 follows: 1883, Fanny; 1888, Gracie; 1884, Bedouin; 1885, Puritan; 

 1886, Mayflower; 1887, '88, '90, Volunteer; 1889, Titania. No 70-footer 

 has ever won the cup when a larger boat has started. Titania, 

 knocking about the course under a small rig and with no elubtop- 

 sail, after starting to leeward of the line, managed to show up at 

 the weather mark some time ahead of the racers of her class; and, 

 had she been in, the race between her and Volunteer would have 

 been most instructive. 



One of the chief feature oE the day was the race between Gos- 

 soon and Clara, the 40-footer beating the 53-footer llmin. 22aec. in 

 17 miles to windward, while the longer boat picked up 2tnin. 20sec. 

 on the run home. The sailing of Clara with Minerva and the 

 other good forties this spring would indicate that she is not so 

 much faster than the short boats on the wind as she has been 

 considered; but even in default of any apparent reason for tho 

 groat difference between her and Gossoon, few will be willing to 

 accept, this one race as conclusive evidence that any of the best Of 

 the 40-footers can beat Clara by half a minute to the mile, boat for 

 boat. If this or anything like it be true, however, it is a pretty 

 strong argument against the mythical narrow boat that has been 

 foretold in the event of the adoption of a classifiaation by cor- 

 rected length. Clara, of 53ft. waterline and 9ft. beam, has practi- 

 cally the same sail area as Gossoon, 40ft. waterline and 12ft. beam, 

 measuring 55ft. corrected length to 48ft., in round numbers. A 

 16ft. Clara, carrying 3,50tJsu. ft. of sail, would rate at 48ft. corrected 

 length, or the same as Gossoon, and certainly would not have the 

 ghost of a show with the wider boat on even time if Clara herself 

 cannot beat the wide forty by a large margin. 



NEWPORT, ISELIN CUP, AUG. 2. 



The decision of the regatta committee to offer the Iselin cup for 

 the forties pleased every one, as no better chance for a test has 

 been offered this season. Few New York yachtsmen were present 

 on the occasion of Gossoon's victory at Marblehead three weeks 

 since, and there was a general desire to see a match between the 

 two. At the same time there were other forties present, and 

 though few expected that they would trouble either Gossoon or 

 Minerva, every one wished to see the new Moccasin and also 

 Mariquita after her creditable performance in the Seawanhaka 

 Corinthian regatta. The course decided on was 12 miles to wind- 

 ward or leeward, and when the flagship anchored off Brenton's 

 Reef Lightship at 11 A. M. on Saturday, there was no trouble in 

 laying out a good course, the wind beiug moderate from S.E. and 

 the water comparatively smooth. The starters were as follows: 

 Measure- Allow- 

 nient. ance. Owner. Helmsman. 



Mariquita, k 48.09 Allows. A. Belmont, Jr.. Ed. Burgess. 



Gossoon, k 47.83 0 20 Adams Bros Chas. F. Adams. 



Mccc-asm. cb- ....47.3d 0 ','.> K. L». Morga:) ..0'.vre=r. 



Choctaw, cb 47.08 1 06 Arnold Thayer. Capt. Moloney 



Minerva, k 45.61 2 48 J. L. Carroll. . . Capt. C. Barr' 



Nothing had been left undone that could fit the boats for racing, 

 Mariquita had a new mainsail, and beside Mr. Burgess at the 

 wheel, she had Mr. E. A. Willard, who sailed Nymph so admira- 

 bly last year. Gossoon was in fine form, and with both her 

 owners aboard, Mr. Chas. F. Adams at the stick; Moccasin had 

 Mr. Morgan at the wheel, witb Mr. Herbert Leeds and Capt. 

 Craven beside him; Choctaw, with copper bronze in place of pot- 

 lead, was sailed by her skipper, a skillful hand; and Minerva 

 following Clara's example with a couple of battens in her main- 

 sail, had her skipper at the stick and Capt. John Barr with some 

 of Clara's crew to run the deck. All carried clubtopsails and 

 small jibtopsails, but, Minerva had her smaller club aloft. 



The fleet lay astern of the Electra when the preparatory gun 

 was fired at 12:23, but a minute before the start was given Capt. 

 Maloney brought Chocta w with a rush close under tne stern of 

 the flagship, well timed to cross the line in the smoke. Close as she 

 was, there was still room, enough for Minerva's bowsprit between 

 Choctaw and the Electra, and Captain Barr put it. there in time 

 to back up his hail for room, whicn Choctaw was forced to give. 

 No prettier picture could a racing man desire to look on than was 

 shown from the high bows of the Electra as the pair ran through 

 the smoke as it left the gun; both heeled well down, Min- 

 erva just grazing Electra's forefoot as she leaped out to wind- 

 ward, with Chocktaw lapping her and almost covered by Min- 

 erva's mainsail. As she weut from under Electra's bow Minerva 

 shot out clear of her rival, and took a good weather berth. Moc- 

 casin came by a minute, later, but Gossoon and Mariquita hung 

 ba< k to give Minerva ber time at the start. It is a curious coinci- 

 dence that the order of the start was the exact reverse of the 

 order of size and allowances. All crossed on starboard tack, the 

 times being: 



Minerva 11 33 84 Gossoon 11 37 04 



Choctaw 11 33 49 Mariquita H 38 15 



Moccasin 11 34 51 



Gossoon was the first to tack at 11:45, the others going about at 

 once. She had been overhauling Minerva from the start, and 

 when after several short tacks she went about, a little after noon 

 on starboard tack, she was so close to Minerva that the latter 

 tacked to clear her. Gossoon having the right of way in the cross 

 tacking. Gossoon had fairly caught Minerva in this short dis- 

 tance, and the spectators looked to see her run awav to the same 

 tune over the next 9 miles, but it was not to be, for the whole of 

 the long way out Minerva held her weather berth in spite of all 

 that Gossoon could do. They came for the mark with Gossoon 

 ahead, but to leeward, and the Scotchman jockeyed her into 

 standing further than was necessary, so that when both tacked 

 together for the last time Minerva had added just enough to her 

 former lead by this maneuver to keep beyond blanketing dis- 

 tance. 



Moccasin was third boat, but a long distance astern, having 

 worked the shore all the way out. Mariquita was beating Choc- 

 taw, but the two were out of it long before half the windward leg 

 was covered. The turn was timed: 



Minerva 2 30 00 Mariquita. 2 45 40 



Gossoon 2 31 35 Choctaw 3 03 53 



Moccasin 2 37 45 



The following times were taken from the Electra, from the turn 

 until the spinaker was broken out on each boat: Minerva 3m. 20s., 

 Gossoon 3.30, Moccasin 5.15, Mariquita 4.50, Choctaw not timed. 

 Minerva rounded without a sign of a spinaker, and in a little over 

 two minutes had the sail drawing, save for some stops near the 

 head, which made it necessary to send a hand aloft, the sail being 

 somewhat torn in freeing it. 



Liris, witb a working topsail and a boat in tow, had watched 

 the race from the start, coming out with the leaders and sailing 

 to windward of them. Now she started home with them, carrying 

 a baby jibtopsail and a spinaker, which, with no clubtopsaiF, 

 made a very curious rig. She ran with Minerva and Gossoon for 

 a long time before they left her astern. 



The race in was something to see; Gossoon had gained lmin, 



54sec. on Minerva in the 12-mile beat, which, taking the allowance 

 and difference of starting time, left her lmin. 3sec. within which 

 she must finish to win. She was within lmin. 35sec. of Minerva, at. 

 the mark, so that she had little more than half a minute to make 

 tip. Had she been near enough to blanket Minerva, there would 

 have been no hope for the smaller boat, Gossoon would have fin- 

 ished at her heels and taken the cup: but. the. distance was just 

 enough to keep Minerva clear and to allow her sails to draw to the 

 utmost. As the two ran along no difference in their speed was 

 perceptible. Gossoon's champions declaring that she was clearly 

 gaining; w r hile Minerva's friends were as confident that she was 

 more than holding her own. How nearly right they were, was 

 shown by the official times, Minerva gaining just ISsec. on Gossoon 

 in 12 miles. Minerva had carried her small ciubtopsail to wind- 

 ward, takiug in her baby jibtopsail in the latter part of the heat. 

 When once squared away she shifted to her large ciubtopsail. The 

 finish of the other boats was very dull, Moccasin had beaten Mari- 

 quita, and Choctaw very badly, but at the same time was not in 

 the racing with Gossoon and Minerva. The full times were:

Mariquita did the best running, but her performance to wind-- 

 ward was particularly poor, while no reason for it was apparent 

 from tho accompanying vessels She lost steadily all day. being 

 out of the race from the first mile. It is not to be expected that 

 she will ever hold the. pace with Gossoon and Minerva when the 

 two are doing their best, but after the Seawanhaka Corinthian 

 race, and in such good hands as she was on Saturday, something 

 better was expected of her. Choctaw's defeat was so great that 

 a part of it must be ascribed to some mishap, as none of the 

 forties that are now. racing are slower by half an hour than the 

 pack. 



Gossoon ran alongside of Minerva as the little black fellow 

 anchored in the harbor, and gave a. cheer for the winners, but the 

 first official knowledge, that Minerva's men had of their victory 

 was when the Electra's launch came up with the handsome Iselin 

 cup, and passed it over the side. So far as sea and weather was 

 concerned, the race was a perfectly fair one; there was no fluking 

 to speak of, and both boats had a fair trial. The result confirms 

 the opinion we formed from the Marblehead racing. Minerva is 

 still good enough to hurry Gossoon in any weather, and the result 

 will depend on the handling and on judgment in chosing courses 

 and setting satis. Any errors on Minerva's part will give the race 

 to Gossoon, but when sailed at her best she has still a good fight- 

 ing chance of saving her time. 



On Sunday the fleet in Newport Harbor included the following 

 yachts, a, number having sailed on Saturday: 



Steuners— Alva, Sultana, Catarina, Oneida. Lagonda, Lurline, 

 Isolene, Susquehanna, Avenel, Unquowa, Tillie, Peerless, Vivieone 

 and Wampanoag. Schooners— Merlin, Sea F"X, Mayflower, Mar ■ 

 guerite, Intrepid, Palmer. Columbia, Alert, Madeleine, Miranda, 

 Ambassadress, Crusader, Ramona, Yampa, Dauntless, Montauk, 

 Grayling, Iroquois, CEnone. Sylph, Wanderer, Noma, Viking, At- 

 alanta, Halcyon, Magic, Fenella, Quickstep, Lotus, Viator and 

 Nirvana. Cutters and sloops— Volunteer, Puritan, Titania. Way- 

 ward, Clara, Gracip, Monticeto, Listless, Fannie, Kelpie, Active, 

 Huron, Gossoon. Minerva, Choctaw", Moccasin, Oriva, Banshee, 

 Mariquita, Peri, Nymph, Medusa, Baboon and Tomboy. 



The orders were given to dress ship. Com. Gerry and his staff 

 attended church on shore. On Monday morning colors were at 

 half-mast, it being the day of Mr. Schuyler's funeral, and the race 

 to Cottage City was abandoned, the fleet sailing over without 

 times being taken. A fog in the morning threatened to stop the 

 run, but. after the flagship had given up at 11:30 and returned to 

 Newport Harbor, the. fog cleared and it was determined to start. 

 The run was made quickly, the fleet starting at 1:30 and the lead- 

 era reaching Vineyard Haven at 6 P. M. At a meeting in the 

 evening it was decided to sail next day to New Bedford, lying 

 there over Wednesday for the rowing and launch races, and sail- 

 ing for Newport on Thursday, where some special races will fol- 

 low. After the meeting the yachtsmen attended a reception of 

 the Oak Bluffs Club. 



The race to New Loudon was sailed in a strong S.W. wind, re- 

 sulting as follows. Moccasin broke her tiller and Liris went to 

 the aid of a boat lost by Titania:
