INDIAN HARBOR Y. C, AUG. 2. 



OFF Greenwich on Saturday last there was sailed the second an- 

 nual regatta of the Tudian Harbor Y. 0. It is very doubtful 

 if in any race on Long Island Sound such a racing fleet of boats 

 ever came together. The race was open to all club members of 

 the New York Y. R. A., although there were entries from several 

 outside clubs. The course was 5 miles to windward and return, 

 and was logged off by the committee steamer, taking a southeast 

 by east course about an hour before the race. The rnles of the 

 Association governed, and the table of the allowances adopted by 

 the Association was used. 



In the open classes there was great rivalrv, the contestants en- 

 tering for a $25 sweepstakes, and in addition much money was 

 wagered outside on the result. It is very much to be regretted 

 that an accident occurred to Mr. Jones's Phyllis; she had just 

 crossed the line when the open sloop Delphine caught her 

 bowsprit in ihe main shepf of the Phyllis. Luckily she was so 

 close to the si earner that several of the guests on board helped to 

 keep her up and saved a capsize. In the melee the mainsheet 

 parted. Some one on the steamer told the Phyllis's captain to 

 take anew start, which he did, going back and recrossing the line 

 again- Of course the judges refused to allow the second start, 

 which was unofficially taken at 2:01:22. 



After the steamer Idlewild had taken a large number of ladies 

 on board, both at Greenwich and at Indian Harbor Dock, a posi- 

 tion was taken up at the starting line oil the harbor, and at 1:40 

 P. M. the preparatory signal was given, ten minutes later at 1:56 

 the starting signal was given for all open yachts. All crossed 

 ■within the ten minutes allowed. TUe staff was kept bare for ten 

 minutes, when at 2:16 the signal for ad cabin classes to start was 

 given. The committee had not intended to include cabin classes, 

 but as the cruising fleet of the New York Y. R.A. was in the harbor, 

 they were told that cabin classes would be made if they desired 

 to enter. With the except! >n of three or four, most of tho fleet 

 entered. So two glasses for sloops a od cutters and one for cabin 

 cats were made. As the fit et was disbanded before the race and 

 a fair wind was blowing, a number of those entered took ad- 

 vantage of it and left the harbor. Among them was the cabin cat 

 Edna, designed by Gardner last winter for Mr. Phillips of Newark. 

 This is to be regretted, as a chance would have been given to try 

 her against the old style cabin cat. 



The wind was southeast, moderate to fresh at times, the tide 

 last quarter of the flood. All started on the port tack. The outer 

 mark was rounded by Tattler first, closely followed by Amateur, 

 Gold Dust, and Susie C. (the famous Susie S.), On the way home 

 Amateur passed Tattler, being the first to finish, making the 

 fastest elapsed time over the course, although Tattler made the 

 best corrected time. After the race a protest was filed by the 

 owner of Phyllis against awarding a race to May B., but was not 

 allowed by the judges. Tbe following is a summary of the race:

HERRESHOFF NO. 163. 



LYING at anchor in New London Harbor on Thursday last was 

 another novelty of the famous Herreshoffs, who, not entirely 

 content with the marvelous performance of the torpedo boat 

 Gushing, had provided another evidence of their skill as the de- 

 signers and builders of fast steaming craft. No. 163, as she is yet 

 known, is a stock boat just from the yard for her trial trip, a 

 Sharp, clean -lined little day launch, 73ft. over all, 9ft. 6in. beam 

 and about 4ft, draft, intended to fill a place between the conveni- 

 ent but diminutive naphtha launch and the more cumbrous but 

 comfortable cruising Bteam yacht. Tbis speedy little flyer, witha 

 crew of but three or four, is the sort of a boat to pick a man up in 

 the city at the end of a busy day and carry him home at a rapid 

 pace to Larchmont, Sandy Hook or up the Hudson, bringing him 

 back next morning with no trouble from L roads, tunnels or fer- 

 ries. At the same time, she is fitted for day runs and short cruises, 

 and is a most convenient craft in every way. 



The middle of the boat is given up to a Herresboff boiler and 

 a set of triple compound engines of high power, the framing being 

 of the lightest, steel being used throughout. Forward of the 

 sunken pilot house is the forecastle, with bunks for three men; in 

 the pilot house a berth can be made up for the captain. Abaft the 

 engines is a convenient cabin with two sofas which fold down, 

 making berths at night: while under the deck, though the head- 

 room is limited to about 4ft., are two fixed berths and consider- 

 able stowage room. Forward of the cabin is a convenient toilet 

 room. Of course speed is the main object, but at tho same time 

 the yacht affords all necessary accommodation for a boat of her 

 class. The construction is excellent, a double-skin hull, with 

 steamed oak frames, all parts being of the lightest, but well 

 braced. The deck is of matched stuff, carefully glued together 

 and then canvassed. The little craft tried her speed with the New 

 York Y. C. fleet, waiting until the last steamer had started from 

 New London and then running through the fleet until she led into 

 Newport harbor. 



BEVERLY Y. C. RACES. 



THE 163d regatta of the Beverly Y. C. will be sailed on Aug. 16, 

 and will include the postponed second championship matches 

 of Aug. 2, as well as the special races for the 21, 30 and 40ft. classes. 

 The conditions for the sweepstakes are as follows: 



Handsome prizes will be awarded in each class. If the winner 

 prefers, these will be paid in cash. A second prize will be given, 

 provided more than three boats start. A championship pennant 

 will also be given in each class, without time allowance, to" become 

 the property of the yacht winning the majority of races. First 

 class schooners will sail at three-quarters of their actual length. 

 Yachts over 24ft. w.l. and not over 30it. w.l. to form first class; 

 over 20ft. w.l. and not over 24ft. w.l. the second class; over 17ft. 

 w.l. and not over 20ft. the third class; 17ft. and under the fourth 

 class. Third class will be divided into sloops and cats, separate 

 prizes being given in each division, but the whole class to sail for 

 the same pennant. Incase of unfavorable weather, the regatta 

 will be sailed on the following Monday, unless oiherwise ordered. 



The special races are open to yachts of 40ft. w.l. and under, be- 

 longing to any club, the prizes being: A cup of $150 in the 40ft.

 viz , from 31 to 30ft. w.l.; and cups of $50 each for keels and cen- 

 terboards in the 21ft. class; viz., 21ft. w.l. and under. In case of 

 unfavorable weather, tne race will be resailed the day after the 

 Corinthian Y. C. series is over, as the intermediate dates are 

 already taken by that club. The start will be a flying one. Yachts 

 will cross the line bet ween Marblehead Rock" and a stakeboat 

 carrying the Beverly Y, C. flag, and will be timed from the whistle. 

 Yachts op their return must pass between the stakeboat and the 

 Rock, Entries, giving name of y&obt, Mme and address of ewaw, 



rig, sailing length if known, and length on waterline, maybe 

 made to the secretary, W. Lloyd Jeffries, 78 Devonshire street. 

 Boston, before 3 P. M. of the day before the race. Yachts must 

 carry numbers, to be shown at the start and finish, in a position 

 where they can be easily seen by the judges. Numbers can be 

 obtained from the secretary, at his office, prior to 3 P. M. of the 

 day before the race, or at the Eastern Y. C. house, Marblehead, on 

 night before race or morning of the race prior to 9:30. No shifting 

 of dead weight allowed during the race. No restriction as to sails 

 in the 40 or 30ft. classes: 21ft. catboats to carry mainsails only; 21ft. 

 sloops to carry mainsail, jib and forestaysail. Race must be com- 

 pleted by one boat in each class before sunset (as given in Eastern 

 Y. C. book); but if start is delayed, time of race will be extended 

 to correspond. Yachts in the 40ft. class may carry one man for 

 every 4ft. sailing length or fractional part thereof; yachts in 30 

 and 21ft. classes, one man for every 5ft. waterline or fractional 

 part thereof. The rule requiring yachts to be sailed by a member 

 of the club will be waived. The time allowance of the Eastern Y. 

 C. will be used in the 40ft. class; that of the Beverly Y. C. in the 

 other classes. A steam yacht will be used as judges' yacht, and 

 will fly a large Beverly Y. O. flag. The race will be sailed under 

 the rules of the Beverly Y. C, except as stated above. W. Lloyd 

 Jeffries, T. S. Edmands, John P. Cushing, Robert Saltonstall, P. 

 Grant, Jr., regarta committee. 



.The cup in the 40ft. class was given conditionally on Minerva's 

 entering, and notice will be sent to all owners of forties as soon as 

 she is heard f rom. 



NEW YORK Y. R. A. CRUISE. 



ACCORDING to orders the fleet of the New York Y. R. A., was 

 at the rendezvous, the station of the Harlem Y. C. off 

 College Point, on July 27, and at 9 A. M., on tbe following morn- 

 ing, with a very light south wind, the start was made. Admiral 

 Prime was in command, on the flagship Edith, and at a meeting 

 of captains it was decided that each day's run should be a race, 

 the times being taken by the steam launch Nixie, Com. Foote, of 

 the Newark Y. C. Prizes were offered for the yacht in each class 

 making the best average, on the runs. The wind during the day 

 was light and variable, but the fleet reached its destination, Cold 

 Spring Harbor, late in the afternoon, the leaders being timed: 



Emmy C 5 24 20 Leader 5 50 25 



Nina 5 34 47 Orestes 6 06 60 



Mistral 5 38 2S Edith 6 13 45

Edna 5 39 55 Peerless 6 35 07 



E. L. Davidson 5 48 15 Coquette 6 45 00 



Mergus was first in. but she went inside of the new lighthouse, 

 so was not timed. In the evening a hop was given at the Glenada 

 Hotel in honor of the visitors. 



Tuesday morning was very disagreeable, a steady rain and 

 squally wind, but the fleet sailed at 9 A. M., for Wilson's Cove. 

 Mistral, Mergus, Emmy C. and several others had a hard fight 

 across the Sound, but Mistral finally won, the times being: 



Mistral 11 12 00 Restless 11 51 50 



Mergus 11 17 80 Edna 11 53 30

Merope 11 47 00 Outvie 12 34 31 



Leader 11 51 30 Coquette 12 37 45 



Peerless 11 51 45 



The fleet had been specially invited last week to visit the Cedar 

 Point Y. G. and take ptrt in its regatta on Wednesday, and with 

 this in view the orders were to sail at 8:80 for Cedar Point, the run 

 not counting as a race. The fleet stopped for a short time at 

 Cedar Point, but just at the start of the race the visiting yachts 

 weighed anchor and stood on for Bridgeport, to the disappoint- 

 ment of their hosts, who had gone to much trouble in order to 

 entertain them during the day and evening. This action of the 

 Association caused much dissatisfaction on the part of the Cedar 

 Point Y. C, as no explanation was made for it. The run to Bridge- 

 port found Mistral again ahead, the times being: 



Mistral 1 00 09 Edna 1 25 00 



Emmie C 1 11 10 Leader 1 25 15 



Edith 1 12 20 Nina 1 25 55

Orestes 1 23 05 Mildred 1 Si 53 



Mergus 1 24 29 Coquette 2 06 18 



The run of Thursday was the liveliest of the cruise, most of the 

 yachts being reefed, while one, the catboat Nina, lost her mast. 

 The times at Lloyds' Harbor were: 



Mistral 2 31 45 Phoenix 5 02 40 



Mergus 3 31 25 Leader 5 15 45 



Harned 3 40 50 Edna 5 36 05 



Emmie C 4 02 00 Bertha 6 05 55 



Orestes ...4 48 55 Coquette 6 56 00 



No others were timed. 



Next morning the fleet ran over to Greenwich, where some of 

 the yachts sailed in the rega tta of the Indian Harbor Y. C. in tbe 

 afternoon, while in the evening all hands attended the hop at ths. 

 Indian Harbor Hotpl. Shortly after colors on Saturday morning 

 a meeting of the captains was held on tbe flagship, at which the 

 fleet was formally disbanded. Some of the yachts returned home, 

 while others continued their cruise to the eastward. The cruise 

 was a success, especially for a first attempt, and is likely to lead 

 to a still larger one next year. 



BUZZARD'S BAY Y. C— The third annual regatta of the 

 Buzzard's Bay Y. C. was sailed off Onset last Saturday in a light

It was a reach both ways with occasional head winds, making 

 it necessary to tacu off shore. The time limit for these races is 

 fixed at 4:10, and as the Gracie finished 8m. later it was declared 

 no race. Gracie finished about lj^miles ahead of the tuckup Vol- 

 unteer, which was second boat.
