RACES FOR THE 30FT. CLA.SS.-It is proposed to get up a 

 race for 30-footers at Newport some time during the New York 

 Y. C. cruis3. It may he sailed in counection with the sweep- 

 stake race for 40s, to be given by the Corinthian Y. C. of New 

 York, and it maybe sailed in connection with a 40ft. race to be 

 given hy the New York Y. C, if that club follows its last year's 

 programme and gives a race for 40s. Of Boston 30s, it is probable 

 That the Saladin, Hawk and Shark will go around to Newport for 

 this race. The Shark is sure to go, and owner Prince, too, will 

 probably make a match race with the Kathleen, if no other way of 

 meeting the crack New York 30-footer presents itself. T. C. 

 Zerega is more inclined to bring the Kathleen to Marblehead than 

 he was a few weeks ago, and it is reported that he has already 

 made a match race with tlie Shona, to be sailed in Eastern 

 waters. The Burgess 30-footers Tomboy and Gladys hail from 

 Newport and will doubtless swell tlie entries of the proposed 

 race. The race will probably be sailed between Aug. 8 and Aug. 

 11.— Boston Globe. 



DORCHESTER Y. C.-The annual cruise will begin on July 21 

 The squadron will rendezvous off Thompson's Island, and on sig- 

 nal the fleet will pass hy the stern of the flagship and proceed to 

 Marblehead. From there the cruise will extend to Provincetown 

 and Duxbury. W. S. Nickersou is fleet captain. 



PAVONIA Y. C— The new house and station of this club at 

 Atlantic Highlands was opened with appropriate ceremonies on 

 July 19, many visitors being present. 



CORINTHIAN NAVY.-Owiug to the very squally nature of 

 the wind, the strong adverse tide and the heavy sea that ran riot 

 in the Hudson River on July 12, the small boat classes in the 

 Hudson River Squadron regatta were compelled to abandon the 

 race. The cat. class qualified, -the Uno winning. The regatta 

 committee of this squadron announces that they will rcsail the 

 regatta later in the fall. On July 26, the East River Squadron 

 will hold its regatta off the Knickerbocker Y. O. house, at Port 

 Morris; entries may be made with A. Dahrn- Petersen, 63 East 

 114th street. The fiVet of this organization will assemble at New 

 liochelle, on Aug. 2, before 9 A. M., to take part in the annual 

 cruise of the Navy. Mr. L. A. Camacho, of New Brighton, has 

 been appointed secretary of the New York Bay Squadron. The 

 first year book of the young Corinthian Navy, founded last win- 

 ter, is a neat little volume in embossed cloth covers, containing a. 

 list of 168 members and 123 boats, mostly small cruisers such as 

 canoe yawls and St. Lawrence River skiffs. The organization 

 thus far has been remarkably successful and has a promising 

 future before it. Proposed for membership: Edward C. Lewis, 

 J. Gardner, Albert W. Hoor, W. F. R. Leigh, J. Lounsbery, H. H. 

 Salmon, B. T. Squier and G. W. Gwilliams. 



YACHTING DISASTERS— The season has been marked by the 

 usual number of capsizes and minor disasters, in all or nearly all 

 cases due to poor boats or ignorance. This week a serious disas- 

 ter is reported from Lake Michigan, two yachts from Chicago, the 

 Sable and Iago, being caught in a tornado while cruising on the 

 lake, and their crews, James and Joseph Beaupre and John and 

 Abraham Duruche, being lost. The two vessels were hardly more 

 than small centerboard boats, one of 24 and one of 14ft., and 

 utterly unfitted for Lake Michigan. They sailed from St. Joseph, 

 Mich., on July 14, for Chicago. On July 17 they were picked up* 

 lashed together, bv the steamer Puritan, but no traces of the men 

 were found. On July 17, at 10 P. M., the steam launch Catharine 

 was struck and sunk by the steamer St. Lawrence, near Alexan- 

 dria Bay, on the St. Lawrence River, five persons, including three 

 ladies, being drowned. The launch was a party boat, hired by 

 the day to tourists. On July 19 a centerboard boat was struck by 

 a squall off Gloucester, Mass.^and one of her crew of three was 

 drowned, the others being rescued by a tug. On the same day a 

 Bmall boat was capsized^in Boston Harbor, a boy being drowned, 

 the two men in her being picked up by passing boats. 



NEW YORK Y. C— The fourth general meeting of the New 

 York Y. C. was held on July 17, Vice-Corn. Iselin presiding. The 

 following new members were elected: Andrew B. Culver, Allen 

 C. Washington, Henry Papne Whitney, Francis H. Weeks, W. 

 Lewis Boyle, Howard W. Ooates, William A. Read, William E. 

 Dupont, Francis L. Lelaud, William H. Calhoun, John J. Pierre- 

 pont, William Rockefeller. J. S. Perkins, J. De Ver Warner, IT. 

 Van R. Kennedy, C. Barnum Seeiey, Leonard F. Beckwith and 

 Henry T. Sloane. Admiral John L. Worden was elected to hon- 

 orary membership. Rear Admiral Iselin announced that he 

 would offer a cup valued at $250 to be sailed for during the cruise. 

 The following amendnaent to the racing rules was finally adopted: 

 "Any yacht violating the racing rules of this club or the Govern- 

 ment regulations as to the rules of the road, shall at the discre- 

 tion of the regatta committee, be debarred from entering in any 

 race of the club or races held under its management for such 

 time as shall in their discretion be deemed advisable." 



LARCHMONT Y. C— In looking over the handsome book of the 

 Larchmont Y. C. for 1890, it is hard to realize that the club has 

 just reached its tenth birthday, in view of the facts that it stands 

 second in point of membership, the total membership now being 

 within 2 or 8 of 600, while it boasts the largest and finest house 

 and the handsomest grounds of all American clubs. That so much 

 has been done is due mainly to the foresight and energy of a few 

 men, who have worked early and late to make the club a success. 

 The fleet now includes 178 siting craft and 50 steamers. The new 

 book, like its predecessor, is small and compact, hut quite thick, 

 and contains a great amount of matter relating to the club and to 

 yachting in general. It is bound in the same flexible canvas cover 

 that has been used by the club for several years and has become so 

 well known among yachtsmen. 



GREAT HEAD Y. C. CRUISE.-The cruise of the Great Head 

 Y. C. began in a very lively manner on Saturday last, a violent 

 squall sweeping down on the fleet during the review and capsiz- 

 ing the schooner Galena and the sloop Ruby, the two boats being 

 towed ashore and the crews rescued. At 5 P. M. the fleet, includ- 

 ing the following yachts, sailed for Marblehead: Widgeon, Com. 

 E.A.Cook: Owl, Vice-Corn. Gushing; Almira, Fleet-Capt. T. J. 

 Young; Mayflower, II. H. Litchfield; Katherine. L. B. Smith; Ga- 

 lena. A. P. Bicknell; Nellie, George F. Floyd; Eclipse, D. N. Bel- 

 cher; Recreation, Frank Ferdinand; Fancy, George L. Cade; Clio, 

 C. B. Belcher; Ideal, L. B. Weston. The fleet will be gone three 

 weeks, and will visit Portland, Boothbay, Rockland, Camden, Bel- 

 fast, Castine and Mt. Desert. 



NO MORE POTLEAD.— The value of a copper bottom has been 

 known to many yachtsmen for a long time, but very few American 

 yachtsmen have adopted it in yachts of 40ft. and under; copper, 

 bronze and potlead still being the favorites. As soon as Gossoon 

 returns from the E. Y. C. cruise she will he coppered at Lawley's, 

 preparatory to the New York Y. C. cruise. Fortunately she is 

 well under her class, 39ft. 3 to 39ft. 5 in l.w.l., and she will stand 

 the extra weight of copper very well. She is the first 40 of the 

 Burgess fleet to be coppered. Minerva was coppered when she 

 came here, but the only American 40 or 30 that has thus far tried 

 copper is Helen. 



EASTERN Y. C— The fleet reached Bar Harbor on July 18, 

 having passed Sunday at Portland. On Wednesday the yachts 

 left Camden, but were becalmed in Egmoggin Reach. Pappoose 

 ran on the Ship and Barge Ledge, off Bass Harbor, being fast on 

 the rocks for 10 hours, Sea Fox lying by her, and finally helping 

 her off. The squadron disbanded at Bar Harbor. 



LARCHMONT Y. C. CRUISE— The fleet of the Larchmont 

 Y. C. reached New London early on July 14 in a heavy fog, having 

 left Black Rock on the previous morning with a good breeze, 

 but meeting the fog off Bartlett's Reef. On July 15, in spite of 

 the fog, the fleet ran to Shelter Island, lying there over Wednes- 

 day and Thursday. 



MASSACHUSETTS Y. C. CRUISE —The cruise of the Massa- 

 chusetts Y. C. began on Saturday according to programme, with 

 a review of the fleet off Thompson's Island, in Boston Harbor. 

 After the review a heavy squall struck the fleet, some anchoring 

 while others proceeded on the cruise.

THE NEW LAUNCH HUM.— This odd utile craft which was 

 launched on the Harlem River on Saturday last, is but 16ft. 4in, 

 long, but has a complete quadruple expansion engine, the cylin- 

 ders being 2%, 3^, and (%in. by i>y 2 . These are arranged to 

 form a pair of tandem steeple engines, the high and low pressure 

 having one rod and the two intermediate a second. The fuel used is 

 a mixture of kerosene and several other oils, devised by Mr. Archi- 

 bald Watt, the builder of the engines, the mixture being used to 

 generate a gas which is used in place of steam in the cylinders. It 

 is claimed that the process is very cheap, and that the fuel is car- 

 ried in a very compact and convenient form. The Hum is of course 

 only an experiment, if successful the engines and fuel will he tried 

 on a larger scale. 



HULL Y. C— The Hull Y. C. starts its second 10 years of life 

 with most promising prospects, haying just taken possession of a 

 now and very handsome house at Hull, near Boston, while its roll 

 of members includes 315 names, with a fleet of 111 sailing craft 

 and 19 steamers. The racing of which there has always been 

 pleuty, is practically limited to yachts of 40ft. and under, the fleet 

 being specially strong in fast cat and jib and mainsail boats. The 

 racing rule is length on waterline plus > 5 of after overhang. 



HARLEM Y. C— The new house of the Harlem Y. C. at College 

 Point, L. I., was opened on July 19, a large number of guests 

 being present. A ladies' race was on the programme, but the 

 wind was too strong. The house was illuminated in the evening, 

 a dance, following the supper. During the afternoon a yacht 

 capsized off the club house, but the crew were rescued. 



A NEW AUXILIARY STEAM YACHT.— Messrs Neafie & Levy, 

 ot Philadelphia, have taken a contract for a large auxiliary steam 

 yacht designed by Mr. J. Beavor-VVebb for an American yachts- 

 man whose name has not been made known. She will be 240ft 

 over all, 204ft. l.w.l., 27ft. beam and 13ft. draft, and will be ready 

 by spring. 



A NOVEL RACE OF NAPHTHA LAUNCHES— On Tuesday 

 morning a curious race was started off the Corinthian Y. C. house 

 at Staten Island, the contestants being two 25ft. naphtha launches 

 built, by the Gas Engine & Power Co., and the course being around 

 Long Island, finishing off the American Y. C. house at Milton's 

 Neck, a distance of some 240 miles. 



OYSTER BAY Y. C— The postponed race for the Commodore's 

 cup, the first of a series of five, was sailed on July 19 in a strong 

 S.W. wind. Sinbad, owned by Thos. Young and sailed by F. T. 

 Underbill, beat Marion, owned by Mr. Underbill. The owners 

 decided by lot who should sail the boat. 



A MATCH OFF BRIDGEPORT. -Arrangements are be'ng made 

 for a match between the fast jib and mainsail boat Eureka, of 

 Boston, and the Rival, owned by Com. Burritt of Bridgeport. No 

 date is yet fixed. 



ALICE-GOSSIP.— The McVey 40, Alice, has been named Gos- 

 sip by her new owner. Her mast has been moved aft one foot and 

 nearly GOOlbs. of lead have been added to her keel. 



SAVIN HILL Y. C— On July 15 the handsome new house of the 

 Savin Hill Y. C, designed by Fleet Captain W. H. Besarick, was 

 opened with a ball. 



TRIXIE— HONORE.— A match has been made between Messrs. 

 W. Butler Duncan and C. Oliver Iselin to sail these two cats off 

 Newport. 



CEDAR POINT Y. C— The regatta oj July 22 has been post- 

 poned to July 30, at which date the fleet of the N. Y. Y. R. A. is 

 expected . 



WANDA, steam yacht, has been chartered by Mr. Jas. Stillman 

 to Mr. J. T. Coolidge, of Boston, and is now at Bar Harbor.
