NEW YORK C. C. INTERNATIONAL CUP. 



THE third series of races for the New York C. C. international 

 challenge cup was sailed on New York Bay on Monday and 

 Tuesdav, resulting in the retention of the cup, though the honors 

 of the Bailing were verv equally divided. 



The trial races were held on Aug. 29-30, there beine a good num- 

 ber of crack sailors present. The first race, on Friday afternoon, 

 was sailed in a good breeze, the course being two rouuds off the 

 club house, a strong tide running. Vagabond ran over a log and 

 tore off her deep fixed rudder, while Uno broke her steering gear. 

 The second race was sailed on Saturday afternoon, in a pi trong 

 wind. The course was three rounds, about ?Vo miles. Toltec. car- 

 ried away a mast. Vagabond broke her mteen step and Ghienn 

 capsized. Lieda capsiztd when in a good place on the second 

 round, but righted, bailed out, and finished second. The full 

 times of the two races are as follows:

As the result stood on Saturday nitrbt there was little to guide 

 the committee in chosing between Messrs. Butler and Quick, so 

 early on Monday morning a third race was sailed in a light wind . 

 Wasp led over two lengths of the course, but finailv lost the wind 

 for a time at the first Buoy, Uno passed her and winning. It 

 was then decided to select Mr. Quick as the representative of the 

 New York C. C. in defending the cup. By 10 A. M. there was not 

 wind enough to enable yachts and catboats to breast the strong 

 ebb tide tbat was running to leeward, and the canoeists and their 

 friends waited rather impatiently until after 3 o'clock before a 

 light southerly breeze came in against the N. W. wind that had 

 been all dav about the Upper Bay. The course was tb-i usual Cub 

 trtangle, off Stapleton, but owing to the drifting of the buoys the 

 distance could not be accurately determined. There was along 

 leg to windward, down the shore, a dead run up the channel to 

 second mark, and a short reach across to the finish, three rounds 

 The tide was near the last of the ebb, but running quite strong. 

 At the gun Canuck was near the line, going over within lOsee., but 

 with little headway; Uno was just over the line, being obliged to 

 work back and re-cross, oeing5&sec. late. She carried two hoisting 

 sails o f 105ft. while Canuck's standing rig had 120ft. Canuck crossed 

 on port tack and at once filled away on starboard , heading offshare; 

 Uno followed the same course but about. 100ft. to leeward. After 

 one long leg out Canuck tacked and stood in for the lower mark, 

 Uno following. When near the shore each made a couple of short 

 hitches and then went by the buoy with sheets off. In real time 

 Uno had made up 15sec. on Canuck in the beat. The wind was 

 very light as they ran up against the tide, sometimes winged out 

 and sometimes with booms on opposite sides as the two ran along 

 together. Uno overtook Canuck, both passing the second mark 

 together, and ran by her as the turn was made, opening up about 

 100ft, between the pair at the end of the round and with 15sec. of 

 time between them. The other rounds were but repetitions of the 

 first, the differences at each mark being shown by the times below. 

 The windward leg was made in two long hitches witli a short one 

 at the end. On the down wind leg of the last round Canuck ran 

 through Uno's lee and took the lead, but held it for only a few mo- 

 ments, Uno being safely ahead at the second mark. The finish 

 was timed: Uno. 1:24:31. Canuck, 1:25:04, giving the race to Mr 

 Quick by 33sec. It was nearly 5 P. M. when the race finished, and 

 Mr. Jones was averse to sailing a second race at once, so a post- 

 ponement was made until Tuesday morning. The elapsed times 

 were: 



1st Round. 2d Round. 3d Round.

On Tuesday morning there was a light but puffy wind from 

 S.W. blowing over the hills back of Clifton. Mr. Quick did not 

 reach the club house until 11 A. M., and then some time was lost 

 in wrestling with a refractory mast tube, so that it was 12:45 when 

 the race started. Canuck carried her largest mainsail, 90ft., the 

 mast being 18ft. long, with a mizen of about 40ft., and Uno die- 

 carded the lowering rig of Monday for a larger standing rig nearly 

 equal to that of Canuck. The mainmast, however, was of pine, 

 and a weak stick, that threatened to break and required much 

 favoring through the race. The course was the same as on Mon- 

 day, the tide just running ebb, while the first leg down the shore 

 was a close reach, the second a free reach, with a short hitch 

 aoross on the wind to finish, three rounds. Canuck was to wind- 

 ward before crossing, but fell to lee ward at the line, Uno running 

 out ahead on her weather. The puffs struck them heavily at 

 times as they reached down for the first mark, -Canuck standing 

 up straight and working out to windward, while Uno had to beg 

 to save her mast. At the jibe for the first mark Uno had gained 

 8s., but on the reach against the tide, to second mark she added 

 lm. 2s. to this. They luffed around the mark for the second round 

 with Uno 2m. 21s. ahead. 



They went away with the wind further ahead and somewhat 

 stronger, allowing Canuck to carry her heavy spar and big sail 

 bet» er, while Uno was not so well off as before. It was now a beat 

 to the mark, Canuck doing the better work and soon crossing 

 Uno's bows. At the turn sae showed a lead of 35s„ having made 

 up nearly 3m on the one leg. Off the wind Uno caught her a 

 lit'le. being only 7s. astern at second mark. The next leg was 

 something to see; the two came in, on the wind, Canuck ahead 

 and luffing to prevent Uno passing, the latter gaining until, as 

 Canuck luffed around the mark Uno shot inside of her, the two 

 being laid flat at the same time by a specially heavy puff. Mr. 

 .Quick got out and put one foot on the centerboard, saving a cap- 

 size, while Canuck luffed and ran clear ahead. On the long wind- 



ward leg the superiority of Canuck was again apparent; she stood 

 up stiffer and held a better course than Uno, the latter not daring 

 to take the puffs on account of her mast. 



At the first buoy on the last leg Canuck led by lm. 33s., all 

 gained on the one leg, but as she came for the buoy the wind 

 dropped, leaving her becalmed for a few moments, in which time 

 the tide caught her and carried her down on the buoy, her stern 

 and rudder dragging against it. Mr. Jones sailed on, finishing 

 2m. 37s ahead of his rival, and at once announced the fact of the 

 foul. Under Rule VI tl. Canuck was disqualilied and the race 

 went to Uno, but Mr. Quick declined to accept this result, and 

 offered to let the race go and sail a new one in its place. This 

 generous offer, however, Mr. Jones would not accept, saving that 

 as the fault was his it was onlj fair that he should stand by it. 

 This of course ended the racing, leaving the New York C. C. for 

 the third time bolder of the cup. As Mr. Quick is a member of 

 the Yonkers O. Q„ the cup will bo turned over to the custody of 

 that club as soon as it is returned to the holder} by the Brooklyn 

 C. C, who have it now in possession. The full times of the race 

 are as follows: 



1st Round. 2d Round. 3d Round.

The result was a great disappointment to every one concerned, 

 as it was evident that the two nvn and their boats were very 

 evenly matched and tha^ a.nother very close race was to be ex- 

 pected, the result probably depending on whicli canoe found the 

 wind most suitable for her. In this race Mr, Jones was at a dis- 

 advantage in this respect at the start, his laige and heavy rig re- 

 quiring a certain weight of wind to enable him to carry it steadily. 

 As it breezed up bis chances improved, as the times show, while 

 Mr. Quick suffered in proportion through his light spar, which de- 

 manded the most careful nursing in such puffy weather. 



While the fouling of t he buoy did not affect the real merits of 

 the race, and every one would have been glad to have ignored it 

 entirely, it is a point which is covered by an imperative rule, one 

 that has been found of the first necessity in all yacht and canoe 

 racing, and which the club had no power to s^t aside. The only 

 possible solution of the matter was in the acceptance by Mr. 

 Jones of Mr. Quick's sportsmanlike offer to call the whole race off 

 and try again, and all racing men will appreciate the spirit with 

 which this offer was made on the one hand and declined on the 

 other. No better proof could be desired of the generous and 

 chivalrous love of sport which has always characterized canoe 

 racitg, or the respect which canoe men themselves have for the 

 rules they have made to govern their racing, Mr. Jones has re- 

 turned home, but has left his canoe here in hopes of selling her, 

 as he proposes to give up canoe racing for yachting. 



THE LACHINE RAPIDS COURSE —Before the first race for 

 the New York cup was sailed, Mr. Jones, who had been struggling 

 for several days with the tides of the Upper Bay, was asked where 

 the next race for the cup would beheld in the event of his win- 

 ning it; whether it would take place off Brockville. He looked 

 for a moment at the ebb tide traveling at a 10-knot gait over the 

 starting line and by the dork, and then remarked, "I think that 1 

 should select the Laehine Rapids as the fairest place next to New 

 York Bay."

164th regatta, fourth open sweepstakes, monument beach. 



•TVHE race was started in a moderate N.E. breeze, which kept 

 J. dying out. All the boats finished in a very light air against 

 a head tide. In first class Thy ra evidently had not read the rules, 

 as she threw ballast overboard after preparatory signal was set, 

 and was ruled out in consequence. The new Crosby boat Dora 

 beat Mattie easily. In second class Widgeon showed what she 

 could do properly handled, while Anonyma's poor position was a 

 surprise. In third class Daisy broke tacks with the others, while 

 the three sister boats made a hot and close race of it. Rip was 

 missing in fourth class, and Edith had a walkover.

165TH: RACE— 2d CHAMPIONSHIP. 



This race was started at Marblehead, Aug. 23. The wind was a 

 good N.E. breeze, accompanied by rather a heavy sea and a pour- 

 ing rain that was as effectual as a pretty good fog. 



In the first class, although Saladin. Shark and Hawk had en- 

 tered, only the latter turned up, owing to a misapprehension, 

 both the others thinking none or the three would start, and all 

 being willing to take a r^st after the week's racing. 



In the second class Wraith found it too heavy weather to get- 

 down from Boston, and SprUe beat Queen Mab easily. In third 

 class keels Hornet had frightened out everything in her class ex- 

 cept Nixip, whose owner had more pJuck than the others, while in 

 the centerboard division no one but Wanda dared tackle Kiowa 

 in the seaway, ana Wanda had not been able to repair her cen- 

 terboard, carried away after race of the 16th; so Kiowa had a sail 

 over, although Niobe was under way at the line and Edith lying 

 close by with her racing crew on the wharf. 



Kiowa did not hear first whistle, and so was handicapped at the 

 start about two minutes, but it made no difference, Hornet can 

 sail away from any 20ft. catboat overbuilt, at least in Eastern 

 waters. Susie, who won the 24ft. championship in the O.Y. C. last 

 week, tackled the 20ft. class, but was easily beaten by Kiowa and 

 played with by Hornet. 



In fourth class Psyche had entered, but could not beat down 

 from Boston against the northeaster, so Dolphin had a walkover. 



It was the smallest championship race but one ever sailed by 

 the club, and it was rather rough on the boats that started to 

 have the others keep out of the race. Courses, first and second 

 classes, miles; third and fourth classes should have been 1%,

 contest she was beaten by Mischief, was partly burned at her 

 moorings in Charlotte Harbor, on Thursdav night, of last week. 

 Her owner, Mr. George Eyre, of Brighton, Ont„ was at the ban- 

 quet of the Rochester Y. C. and during his absence the yacht 

 caught fire. Before the fire department could reach her the deck , 

 interior and sails were destroyed, the hull being comparatively 

 uninjured. 



METEOR.— On Aug. 23 as the steam yacht Meteor, Mr. T, J 

 Montgomery, was going down ne Bay off the Bittery she was 

 run into by the steamer Guyandotte, of the Old Dominion Line, 

 bound out. The yacht was badly cut into on the siarboard side, 

 abreast of the pilot house, and as she was making water rapidly 

 she was quickly towed to the point off Governor's Island and 

 beached. At low water the hole was stopped, the yacht pumned 

 out and towed away for repairs, The responsibility for the colli- 

 sion has not yet been determined.
