THE JUNE REGATTAS, 1891. 



THE many races of the past week, both abont New York and 

 Boston, have proved hardly less disappointing tlian those of 

 last year, and in no cases have the ttirnoutsheen snch as to realize 

 the old idea of a rsgatta. The competitors ha ve been few in nnm- 

 her, and so divided, as a matter of necessity, as to make httle 

 sport in any but one or two classes, while the large fleet of steam 

 yachts and non-racers that forms such an important part of the 

 usnal spectacle in the races on New York Bay, and even about 

 Marblehead, has dwindled to very small proportions. It is safe 

 to blame the weather for almost any failure, and though it is 

 very doubtful whether in any case the display ■\\ould have been 

 better, it is at least a f»ct that both the New Y'ork and Seawan- 

 haka Corinthian races were poorly served in this respect, wbile 

 the Massachusetts and Eastern clubs fared no better. The 

 weather of the week has been most remarkable, openirg with 

 tAvo days of such intense heat as New Y^ork seldom experiences, 

 the Atlantic dav, Tuesday, being the worse; the Marine and Field 

 Club on Wednesday was more endurable, but by Thursday, when 

 the New York regatta was sailed, there was a complete change, 

 the day belDg rainy and positively cold, the heaviest wraps and 

 overcoats beine in demand on the steamers, while the racing men 

 were in a most uncomfortable plight all day. This same violent 

 change brought nothing less than a gale and heavy sea off 

 Nahant, where the Massachusetts Y. C. was ready for the Bunker 

 Hill day regatta which long ago becRme famous under the club's 

 old name of Dorchester, while the Eastern Y. 0. fared little bet- 

 ter on Friday. On Saturday, in New York, the Seawar haka. C. Y. 



C. had a light and fiuky day, so cloudy and threatening in the 

 morning that but few spectators and yachts turned out to see the 



^*Apart from the weather, the proposed races have awakened but 

 little enthtisiasm on the part of owners, and the display of racing 

 yachts was hardly better than last year, which is saying very 

 little. The earnest labors of the various committees in arranging 

 special classes for cruising trim or with handicaps have met with 

 little success, and but few of the classes, either racing or in cruis- 

 ing trim, have filled fairly. The new boats, of which somuch has 

 been written during the winter, arf not yet ready, nor are their 

 owners, for the most pari, in any great hurry to start them, the 

 result beine that in the East the class has not raced at all, in 

 spite of the^special events arranged for it; while in New York but 

 five boats have staited. The 40ft. class has hardly displayed a 

 sign of lifp, even in the cruising classes; and though the 30f c. has 

 done a little racing in the East, it is very dead in New York, 

 thoueh a few 35ft. boats have started. Ail of the clubs bucceeded 

 in making up enough entries to fill the usual entry card provided 

 for the club steamers, but that was as far as it went; the boats 

 named simplv did not start and a very laree number never in- 

 tended to. The only events of the week that are in the least 

 worthy of notice are Gloriana and Smuggler; the new Herreshofl 

 46-footer has sailed away in every case with the greatest of eas« 

 from her class and the greater part of the fleet, while Mr.Boury's 

 littie 25ft. corrected length, racer has done much the same in a 

 smaller way. 



NEW YORK Y. C. ANNUAL. JUNE 19. 

 The weather of Thursday was anything but pleasant, even in 

 contrast to the extreme heat of the previotis days, as the cold 

 drizzling rain and sharp wind savored but little of June and its 

 roses. Mucb. as the ladies and the lookers-on might grumble, the 

 yachtsmen had no complaint to make, as there was a strong N.E. 

 breeze and a good tumble of sea in the Lower Bay and about the 

 Hook. To the disappointment of all Com. Gerry was not able to 

 be present, owing to Miss Gerry's illness, she being on board the 

 Electra, so the regatta committee, Mes-rs. S. Nicholson Kane and 



D. B. Fearing, took ship on a tugboat for the day. The cocdiiions 

 of the race were as follows: In each class S200 for first: S75 for 

 second. For vachts in cruising trim, in each class $130 foi first; 

 g50 for second. Prizes of equal value will be offered for keel 

 schooners. Cruising trim — Anchors on the bow and cables bent; 

 cruising complement of boats carried; cruising deck, cabin and 

 gallev fittings and fixtures in place; topsail extending above the 

 truck, or bevond the end of the gaff, barred. At least two yachts 

 must start In each class, or no prize will be awarded in that class. 

 Second prizes will be awarded when three or more start; no yacht 

 shall receive two prizes. The prize will be cups or money at 

 option of winners. 



The start and finish was off buoy 11, all going and returning by 

 way of the Southwest Spit, the forties going around Scotland and 

 tbe others around the Hook Lightship. Only four schooners 

 started. Marguerite, witb Designer Gardner on hoard , for the 

 regular prize, and Dauntless, Gevalia and Viator in cruising trim. 

 Katrina and Shamrock were present to represent the 70ft. class, 

 with the four 4es, Gloriana, Mineola, Nautilus and Jessica. Gor- 

 illa had entered in the 40ft. class in cruising trim, and on Wed- 

 nesday night, at the special request of thfi regatta committee, Mr. 

 Wetmore put in Liris to make a race for her. Venture , the Burg:efs 

 40, was entered, but declined such company as a cruiser, prefer- 

 ring to go up a class with the 46'. When the start was given 

 Lirrscameto the line, but Gorilla was not visible, though she 

 was met later off the Hook sailing about. Liris started alone, 

 and the committpe very justly decided to exercise the discrttiou 

 allowed them and gave her a prize for the sail over. The amus- 

 ing part of the 40ft. business was that Ventura finally came In so 

 far astern that she went outside the line and did not have her 

 time taken. 



The start was made at about 11:15, the 46 and 40£t. classes going 

 away first, Mineola being in the lead; Gloriana being steered by 

 ner designer, Mr. N. G. Herreshoff. The smaller yachts carried 

 lower sails only, but when by the Lower Island jibheaders were 

 set, Gloriana showing a small club topsail. All were on the port 

 tack, reaching for buoy 14, the familiar old buoy No. 10, Gloriana 

 soon overtaking Mineola, the two fighting hard for the lead, and 

 finally luffing well off their course, being obliged to bear away for 

 the buoy, and thus giving the other two a small gain. The times 

 at buoy 14 were: 



Gloriana 11 56 35 Liris 11 58 10 



Mineola .11 56 27 Jessica 11 58 15 



Nautilus 11 56 38 Ventura 13 01 05 



Before going outside Naiiiilus stopped to house her topmafet, 

 while Mineola lowered her working topsail, but little Jessica car- 

 ried her jibheader well, and as for Gloriana she walked out 

 across the seas with her second clubtopsail aloft. After leaving 

 Buoy 14 she had no use for Mineola's society and very soon shook 

 her off, going her way alone and leaving Naubilus to fight It out 

 with the white Burgess boat. This she did for some time, Jessica 

 gaining on both as they headed through the seas that were now^ 

 running fairly hig:h, but the game finally came to an end when 

 well outside by Mineola luffing up, then heaving to with staysail 

 across her and main sueet flowing, soon lowering mainsail and 

 running in under headsails, baving sprung her mast. At the 

 time of giving up she was leading NauiiiUB, but the latter had 

 gained considerably on her. Roth were taking the seas in a way 

 that must have been very comforting to Gloriana, as her full bow, 

 like that of a Norwegian pram, was riding over the waves, mak- 

 ing tlie best weather of any. 



By this time the larger division, led by Katrina, was with the 

 advance guard, the Dutch girl having beaten Shamrock very 

 badly, and adding to it each minute as the latter felt more and 

 more of the sea and wind. The smaller yachts were timed at the 

 Scotland; 



Gloriana 13 57 00 Jessica 1 05 50 



Nautilus 1 05 00 Liris 1 10 15 



The run in was devoid of any interest, being merely a proces- 

 . sioa ta both classes, the full times being:

ATLANTIC Y. C. ANNUAL, JUNE 16. 

 Tuesday morning was intensely hot, with little wind, a S.W. 

 breeze broken by the stal en Island hills, so that it came across 

 the Bay from Jersey as a westerly wind, while about the Narrows 

 and from there out to the lightships it wasnearly S.W. Th*- usual 

 Roursf 8 were sailed, starting off the club house and finishing off 

 Buoy 11, formerly 1.5. All above the 53ft class went by way of the 

 Southwest Spit around Scotland and Sandy Hook L'ghtships; the 

 53 and 46ft. classes went down the Swash Channel, passing a 

 stakeboat at Buoy 8, and around the same ships; the 40 and 35ft. 

 classes went down the Swash and around the Scotland, while the 

 smaller classfs rounded the markboat at Buoy 8. The starting 

 line was a very poor one, being in the middle of a large flpet of 

 yachts at anchor, some of which at least might have moved with- 

 out trouble and given the racers a lUtle room. When the race 

 was started at a little after low water, there was a nice breeze, 

 though not nearly enough considering that club topsails were 

 ba,rred, and the fleet stemmed the tide at a very fair speed. The 

 lirst over was the schooner Gevalia, followed by Shamrock and 

 Hildegard. each sailing alone in her class, then Marguerite with 

 Desig er Gardner on bo id. The Qrst of the 46"s was Nautilus, on 

 the weather bow of Anaconda, while Gloriana covered the lattei's 

 weather quarter. Jessica crossed alone, but with Mineola close 

 after her; then came Marguerite (A. P. B ) Clara and Euryhia, 

 the rest being strung out. with the little Smuggler last. 



Nautilus was sailed by Mr. Maxwell, Gloriana by Mr. Morgan,- 

 Miufcolaby Mr. Belmont and Capt Harry Haff. Jessica by Capt. 

 Harvey, Clara by Mr. A. B. Alley, with a Corinthian crew, and 

 Anaconda by Capt. Joe Ellsworth. 



All carried jibtopsails, reaching away for the Narrows on the 

 starboard tack in a long line. Shamrock had a easy lead, but 

 Gloriana soon passed Nautilus and Ai aconda, and was close to 

 Hildegard, the second of tbe singles-tickers. Mineola chased 

 Nautilus from the start until off Coney Island Point, where she 

 passed to windward of the Maxwell boat and took the lead after 

 a short battle. Clara was doing very poorly, and Anaconda had 

 a long lead on her all the wav down the Bay, t-ut neitht-r were 

 any wnere near the flying 46-footer, who, with the launch Daisy 

 hovering about her, was rapidly nearing buoy 8, where they were 

 timed: 



Gloriana 13 10 30 Tigress 12 28 35 



Anaconda 13 13 22 Polly 13 30 18

Clara 12 15 25 Indra 12 40 00 



Jessica 12 17 20 



Marguerite and Glotiana had got well up into Sandy Hook Bay, 

 in company with Shamrock and Hiidegarde, the wind all about 

 the Hook being very light. As Gloriana nciirpd the Hook the 

 others drew up on her a Uttle, and in the lighter air Clara came 

 UD with Anaconda, the two being even when the Scotland was 

 finally passed. The times at the mark were: 



Gloriana 1 05.30 Jessica 113 30 



Mineola 1 10 00 Hildegard 1 13 35 



Shamrock 1 10 00 Anaconda 1 14 10 



Marguerite 1 12 00 Clara 1 14 40 



Nautilus 1 13 40 



The wind was light all the rest of the way to the outer mark, 

 which was rounded: 



Gloriana 1 38 30 Nautilus 1 44 45 



Shamrock 1 39 30 Anaconda 1 4(1 00 



Marguerite. 1 39 50 Clara 1 40 15 



MiU'^ola 1 41 45 Jessica 1 47 05 



Hildegard . . 1 44 30 . 



They jibed around and came m all the way on a reach, the 

 whole race being out a reach out and in, with no beating. The 

 only show of excitement in the race was over the two old rivals, 

 Clara and Anaconda., this being the first race that Cltra has sailed 

 since she left Capt. Barr's hands. In the first part she did very 

 poorly, but finally worked up to Anaconda on the last of the way 

 out, and although the white sloop outran her comintr home, and 

 finished ahead, she was not able to save her time, Clara flDally 

 winning by 3J4m. Gloriana gained on the way home as she did 

 going out, ana was at the finish 9m. ahead of the next boat, 

 Mineola. The full times were:

The last boat had hardly finished before a very severe thunder 

 squall swept over tbe Bay, the rain falling in sheets, while the 

 wind blew heavily. The greater part of the fleet had reached 

 their moorings, and no damage was done. 



Mineola was not meaFured, but takes spcond place, while Jes- 

 sica comes between her and Nautilus. Tigress easily led her c)a9S 

 all day, taking first place. She, as well as the rest of the 35ft. 

 class sailed in cruising trim, but Kathleen omitted to carry a 

 boat ' thus forfeiting the allowance due her tor cruising trim. 

 The race of the catboats was looked forward to with much inter- 

 est owing to the reputation of three of tbe entries, the local boat 

 Biiou and the Cape cats Mucilage and A. P. E. Owing to the 

 ab'-ence of the steam yacht Electra, Mucilage, now named Iris, 

 did not start, and Bijou was beaten by the other Cape boat. At 

 the same time the 25-footer Smuggler, though sailing alone, beat 

 the three cats over tne same course. The members and guests 

 of the club were out in numbers on the steamer Ovgnus, while 

 the tug Idlewild carried the regatta committee, Messrs. Henry 

 J. Gielow and Fleet Captain Church. 



SEAWANHAKA CORINTHIAN Y. C. ANNUAL, JUNE 23. 



Saturday was a decided improvement in weather over Thurs- 

 day so far as the spectators were concerned, clearing off by the 

 time of the start, after a cool and hazy morning. The racing 

 men however, had good cause for grumbling, as there was but a 

 draft of air from tbe S.E. all the morning, while the fleet was be- 

 calmed inside the Hook for .some time on the way out. The breeze 

 improved after this, but never carried much weight, and with no 

 race in any class but the 4ef t., the day was very tame, as Gloriana 

 repeated her processional peiformances of Tuesday and Thurs- 

 dav The two new 25-footeis w-'re present, with the Burgess cut- 

 ter Beth in the 35£t. class, the new boa s looking like delicate toys 

 as tney wheeled atioui the starting line, but they were soon left 

 behind by the fleet, and the spectaters saw nothing of their race. 

 There had been wild and unverified rumors in each of the previous 

 races of the presence of a pnantom ship from B> ston, the new 

 Sayooara, and also of the Pile cutter Uvira from NewTDort, both 

 being entered; but neither was seen or heard of until Saturday 

 mornino-, when Uvira materialized, but with a boat in tow and no 

 intention of starting, Sayonara still remaining a myth. Tnis left 

 but Gloriana. Nautilus and Jessica, with Lins in the 40fi:. and 

 Clara in the 53f r. classes. The Utter this time had anew competi- 

 tor the famous Ventura No. 3, of Bronx Hiver origin, bui the 

 debutante crossed the line with her number up and a bo^t in tow, 

 drawing out of the race after a hnlf hour's sailing, in which she 

 was beaten boat for boat by the £5ft. Nameless. Miranda was on 

 hand but with no competitor, while none of the seventies were 

 present. After waiting a while for wind, the start was made off 

 Craven's Shoal Buoy at 11:40. 



Fortunately the tide was still ebbmg, so the yachts were able to 

 beat down slowly to Buoy 14, Gloriana chasing Jessica and finally 

 t4kine the lead from lier. The times at Buoy 14 were:

For the next half hour the leaders drifted about between the 

 goiitbwest Spit and Sandy Hook, Crloriana makiuff tbe moar head- 

 wav and working out SDiil.e dinpaace from the point of the Hook, 

 When Nauti|u8 finally caught the brae?© she bugged the shore

 Howland and J. Langdon Ward. The steamer Cepheus accom- 

 panied the race with the club members. 



CORINTHIAN Y". C. OF NEW Y^ORK ANNUAL, JUNE 23, 

 The last of tbe club regattas was that of the Corinthian Y. C of 

 New York on Monday. Though the entry list was not specially 

 large, it was none the less interesting, the classification of tbe 

 club on corrected length grouping tht' boats differently from the 

 other regattas of thp week, while three of the boats were specially 

 new. The chief of these was the long-lnoked-tor Sayonara, which 

 after various delays by the way had finally reached New Y^rk. 

 The second was the Fife cutter Uvira, bnill last year for Halifax, 

 N. S.. and now owned by Mr. F. P. Sands, of Newport, a boat of 

 different dimensions from tbe rest of the Fife family in America. 

 She is practically 3ft. longer and 9in. wider than Minerva, but 

 with the same sail plan. The third new one was a nondescript 

 from Long Island Sound, one of Mr. Clapham's original "crea- 

 tions" of tbe Bouncer type, the Chippewa, a new boat. The 

 classes and starters were:

The start, from one gun, was made below the Narrows, the 'ide 

 being half down, with a light southerly breeze. The two larger 

 classes started together, and the smaller 5 minutes later. The 

 gun was fired at 12:26, Gloriana going over within 25 seconds, 

 while Jessica, steered by Mr. Lovejoy, was 15 seconds later, with 

 Sayonara 25 seconds astern. Mar quita was the first of her ring', 

 Liris btiing 8 minutes late and Uvira 4}^ minutes. The smaller 

 boats made a vers good start. The 46fi. class carried clubtop- 

 sails, the forties only jibheaders. 



As a matter of course, Gloriana held her lead as they beat down 

 the Bay. Not far from the start Chippewa, sailed by Mr. Clap- 

 ham, made a couple of quick tacks near to Smuggler, the result 

 being a collision in which Smuggler was to blame, she being on the 

 wrong tack. You'ag Mr, Clapham was knocked overboard, but 

 picked up by Smuggler, whii h sailed up so close to Chippewa that 

 he was able to step aboard, after which she withdrew from the 

 race. The times at Buoy 14 were:

Freeing a little for Buoy 5 the yachts reached out, with con-

ATLANTIC Y. C. SPECIAL R.ACES, JUNE 23. 

 Though a light weather race, the contest of Monday for the 

 special prizes offered by the Atlantic Y. O. was the most interest- 

 ing of tne series of races on New York Bay. Tne day was clear 

 and bright, tbe yachts could be seen over all of the tourse, and 

 they showed to the best possible advantage, all carrying the luU 

 allowance of kite«. While the wind was very fluky and uneven, 

 this only added a little excitement by oringing tue second boat flt 

 times very near the leader. Tue prizes were a silver cup valued 

 at $500 for the 46ft. class, the gift of Vice-Corn. Banks, of the 

 schooner Water Witch; a silver cup given by Mr. W. W. Kenyon 

 lor the 35ft. class, and one given tiy Com. Lawton for tne 25ft. 

 correctea length class. At the lasN in addition to ihe Banks cup, 

 the club very generouslv decided to add a second prize of 3100, as 

 it was a foregone Lconclusion that Gloriana would take tut first 

 prize. 



The work of putting a new mast in Mineola had been pushed 

 at Winlringham's, and was completed on Tuesday morning, 

 much of the ironwork being replaced by new. 



The weather was warm and hazy, with no wind off the dub 

 hou-<e. but the yachts started dovs'n about 10 A. M. fo^ the start- 

 ing line in Givsvesend Bay, the committee tug following at 11 

 o'clock with Saona and Kathleen in tow. Wutu ( ff Owl's Head
