AMERICAN MODEL Y. C, JULY 4. 



THE second regatta of the season was sailed on Saturday, The 

 first heat of tbe third class yachts was called at, 10:50 A. M., 

 the first yacht, crossing the line 11:02. the wind being very slroag 

 from the yvoat by south, kicking up a nasty sea. Out of eight 

 yachts, four fouled jnst over the line, throwing them out o the 

 heat, the balance finishing. Blectra, showing up in her old form, 

 sailed away from the otliers and crossed the line as winner of the 

 heat by Im. 233. corrected time, Im. 23^. elapsed time, Ida JNIav 

 being second. The second heat had foiTr yachts starters, the 

 others having had enough of it, Blectra showing her wonderful 

 .speed to windward by winning this heat hands down from the 

 fast yacht Star, who has beaten her ia three straight heats at the 

 previous regatta on May 30. 



The Star has had some ballast taken out of centerboard to bring 

 her to her designed l.w.l. This alteration has hurt her chances of 

 winning from the Electra. Her owner will probably lower her 

 weight and lengthen out her centerboard, which will improve her 

 stability and speed in the future. 



The second class race brought out a newcomer, the schooner 

 yacht Normandie, and a handsome yacht she is. Considering this 

 her first race, she did remarkably well, and Kate C. will have to 

 hurry in the future. 



This heat was devoid of in*-erest, as Kate 0. had a walk over, 

 the others not being able to work np up in time. Three yachts 

 started. The second heat proved more interesting, Kate C, Nor- 

 mandie and May finishing in the order named, Normandie push- 

 ing the winner closely. May not doing so well as usual. Kale C. 

 wnn by 37J48. corrected time. 



The special race, which should have brougiit oxxt more talent, 

 narrowed down to two starters— Electra and Marjorie. This race 

 being confined to third cia^s yachts, the course was to windward 

 and return, total distance }4 mile. This wind ward and down wind 

 work should be encouraged more by the owners of model yachts 

 in the club, as it brings out tne Vest points of the boats and taxes 

 the skill of their sk'ppers to work a straight course down wind. 

 Electra proved herself an all-round boaf, as she won this race by 

 33J^s., her elapsed time over the course being Wm. 53s. Marjorie 

 Is a hummer aovvn the wind, and with better handling will make 

 it interesting for Electra in a race of this kind in the future. 



Scrub races wound up the day's sport. The next regatta will be 

 held on Labor Day, Sept. 7. The distance sailed was three-tenths 

 of a mile less 150ft.

THE ST. LAWRENCE Y. C. JUNE 27. JULY 1. 



THE second series race of the St. Lawrence Y. C. was sailed on 

 Saturday, three classes, the A, 39ft. and 21ft., competing. 

 There was a strong and puffy breexe from the north, and the 

 prudent ones put in one or even two tucks, but it was one of those 

 days where prudence was rather a handicap than an advantage, 

 for the boats uuder fuU sail made more in ttie lulls than they lost 

 in the puffs. While tne fleet was boxing abnut the starting line, 

 the Chaperon, then under all plain sail and with a ma^i on her 

 crosstree", got a knock down that seemed to lay her flat, and 

 which more than put her fiddle blocks into the drink. Sue came 

 up, however, as fast as she went down, and although she shipped 

 a good deal of waier she crossed the starling line in as goot trim 

 as ever, a gond witness to the efficacy of outside ballast, oven on 

 a lake where 3ft. is an extreme draft. The start was as follows. 



Start. Start. 



Black Eagle 4 03 00 Frolic 4 03 20

Chaperon 4 03 05 Comet 4 06 00 



Dream carried a working lopsail over her lower sail and never 

 took in a reef all day. Valda set her working topsail over a cue- 

 reefed mainsail. All the rest of the fleet were content with all 

 plain sail as a maximum, although Frolic set a jibtopsail just 

 after the start, which did her little or no good. It was a reach to 

 the Valoifi Light Buoy, during which Dream passed the fleet and 

 took seeond phce. Valda broke her spinaker out of stops m good 

 form as soon as she got past the buoy, nil the others getting into 

 more or less trouble with theirs, and the little white boat gained 

 well on the leaders on the run. Tnis ^ain she increased on the 

 windward work in to Pointe Claire, after the Chateaugay Buoy 

 was rounded, and she actually led the fleet around the "Pointe 

 Claire Buoy, the halfway mark of the course. Dream followed 

 her closely, then Lulu, which had picked up well on the wind- 

 ward work; then Chaperon and the rest at regular intervals, 

 making as fire a sp'ctacle as has ever been seen on Lake St. 

 Louis. On the reach our Valda. was passed by Dream and Lulu, 

 and on the beat back to the Valoig Buoy fmm the Chateaugay 

 mark the little Thora. a boat of 19lt. L.W.L., rigged with two 

 batswing sail.s and manned by four men who know how to hike 

 out, passed her and secured third place. It was a close reach 

 back to the starting point from the Valois Light Buoy and no 

 change took place in the position of any of the boats. The time 

 summary was as follows:

Dream wins thpretore in the A class from LulubylSsec. cor- 

 rected time. Valda wins in the 29ft. class uy 5.38 corrected time, 

 and Thora wins in the 21ft. class by 30.2 elapsed time. The stand- 

 ing of the winners in the series is now for the commodore's cup, 

 Ltilu hasone leg and Dream one leg; for the vice-commodore's 

 cup, Valda has scored two legs, and for the 31ft. trophy Thora has 

 scored two legs. 



The third of the St. Lawrence Y.C. aeries races took place on the 

 morning of July 1 over the usual club course above the club house 

 at Dorval. At the start there was a light easterly breeze, which 

 was no stronger than was necessary to enable the boats to stem 

 the currt^nt at the line, but this freshened before the finish into a 

 fine wholesail breeze with some strength in it. Valda was the 

 first boat across, the rest of the fleet following in a bunch, and all 

 but two with a handicap, and until the Valois Light Buoy was 

 reached there was a good deal of blanketing. Dream drew 

 through the fleet on the run, taking second place at the Valois 

 Light Buoy; but it was not until the reach for that buoy on the 

 return was nearly over that she was able to collar Valda, nnd 

 take the lead of the fleet. Lulu succeeded in taking third place 

 on the first rt- ach to Pointe Claire, and there was a good rafe for 

 second place in the 39ft. class ^ace between Chaperon and Mollie 

 Bawn, a bad part of which was a fotil, which resulted in the two 

 boats becoming locked. It was a close reach from the Valois buoy 

 to the finish line, during which topsails had to be struck because 

 of the freshening breeze. The time summary of the race was as 

 follows:

 Valda the vioe-commodore's cup, as she has scored three wins 

 for it. 



In the afternoon there was a ladies' cruise, and in the evening 

 the commodore. Mr. A. W. Morris, and Mrs. Morris, gave an

CORINTHIAN Y. C. SWEEPSTAKES, JULY 1. 



OWING to a change in the date of the cruise, the sweepstakes 

 of the Corinthian Y. C. of Marblehead, originally set for 

 July 4, was sailed on Wednesday of last week. Though by no 

 means a conclusive one, with but three starters and light and 

 flaky vvinds, the race has created more comment than even 

 Gloriana's performances in New York, from the fact that the 

 new Paine boat, Alborak, sailing her first race, was left almost 

 hnll down by one of the class, the Burgess Oweeue. The race was a 

 $35 hiindicap, with $100 added by the club, there biung four en- 

 tries: Beatrice, owned by Messrs. Bryant and Prince; Oweeae. 

 Mr. A. B. Turner; Alborak, Mr. .1. B. Paine; and Gossoon (40ft), 

 Messrs. Adams. After racing on the previous day, Beatrice was 

 in the doctor's hands from that chronic complaint of modern 

 centerboard racers, "something the matter with the board," and 

 so could not start, a fact that was much regretted in ^'iew of her 

 initial performance, or rather promise. Of the starters Ovveene 

 was sailed by Captain Charles Barr, Alborak by Oapt. "Hank" 

 HaflF, the elder, and Mr. J. B. Paine, and Gossoon, as usual, by Mr. 

 Chas. Adams. Gen. Paine was not on board of Alborak. 

 • The start was made ofl' Marblehead Rock, the flrst leg being to 

 the Graves Whistling Buoy, the second to the new Eastern Y. C. 

 mark and the third back to the starting Hue, 34 nautical miles, 8 

 on each leg. The sea was smooth and the wind west of s^iuth at 

 the start, making a beat, but drawing to the eastward when little 

 more than half the flrst leg was sailed, making a close reach for 

 the Graves; on the second Teg it had hauled so far ahead that 

 Oweone barely made the mark in one stretch. Alborak having to 

 tack; while on the last leg it was so far aft that spinakers and 

 balloon jibtopsails were carried. 



The start was.made at 11 A. M., O weene being beautifully timed, 

 coming for the line on the port tack and tacking as she crossed 

 within 8sec. Gossoon was but 3sec. astern of her. on starboard 

 tack, while Alborak was astern of Gossoon, crossing at 11:00.40. As 

 they crossed the line both Gossoon and Alborak tacked, standing 

 inshore, while Oweene held off shore alone. All carried clubtop- 

 sails and baby jibtopsails. At the end of the first short leg Gos- 

 soon was ahead of Alborak, both t;acking together. When well 

 to windward of Tinker's Island, Oweeue went on port tack, and 

 by dint of her good work to windward and the favorable slant of 

 the wind later on, she was able to make Whistling Buoy without 

 further tacking. On the first off sbore tack Gossoon did better 

 work than her big companion, being weU to windward when the 

 two finally tacked and .stood in toward Nahant. Though gaining 

 slowly, it was imt until n<jar to the juark that the big boat finally 

 got well clear of the 40-footer. The times at the Graves were:

BEVERLY Y. C, JULY 4-. 



THE 173d regatta, third open sweepstakes, sailed at Monument 

 Beach on Saturday, was one of tne best ra^es ever sailed 

 here, many of the new boats appearing for the first time. The 

 (iay opened with a strong southeaster, almost a gale; it was very 

 thick down the bay, and about half the morning it rained hard. 

 All the entries appeared, however, except Edith, who was unable 

 to get a crew, and just before the race it cleared up, the wind 

 shifted to S by E., giving a good beat, and blew a strong two-reef 

 brteze during the race. 



First and second classes were sent over course No. 2, a dead 

 beat to Scraggy N<^ck, a close haul to Bird I-iiland and a run home, 

 l&A miles. Third class had a dead beat to Pines Buoy, a lone and 

 short leg to Abial Ledge, a run home, then a beat to Pines again 

 and came home belore the wind, 814 miles, while the little fellows 

 beat down to Pines and returned, twice round, 5 miles. 



In first class the new Hector led off, much more heavily bal- 

 lasted than in the last race, followed by Mattie carrying her big 

 rig, both being reefed. Hector did much better than before and 

 won handily. 



Eight boats entered in second class, but for some reason Bonita 

 did not f tart, though she was on hand and intended to do ."^o. 



In fourth class Cat, a new boat built by Holmes, met Squall, 

 just built by Dunn. Cat was handled better than her competitor 

 an • sailed right away from her, time for flrst round being: Cat 

 2.09.59, SquaU 2.14,43. 



Third class next appeared in a bunch at end of first round, 

 though Phenomenon, who had startedfirst, had fallen back, and 

 PuzzIh, sailing wonderfully well, had come up from last place to 

 second. Etna, who started with Puzzle, had shipped a lot of 

 water and brought up the rear. The times of first round were: 



Parole 3 41 15 Puzzle 2 43 25 



Buzzard 3 43 33 T.vooon 2 43 43 



Asuaniee 3 44 41 Phenomenon., 3 44 .53 



Elna 3 47 30 



On second round Cat gained a little on Squall, but not so much 

 as on iir St round. Puzzle took first place from Parole and Eina 

 gained on tue whole class. 



The finish was very close and exciting, first, second and third 

 classes crossing all together, the leaders in these three classes 

 coming wltnin 14?. of each other. Anouyma sailed a splendid 

 race and led the fleet home. Puzzle was right after her, followed 

 by Hector and Parole within a few seconds. Moccassia was 

 ordered and built for third class, but her builder, Crosby, got her 

 into second class by lOin.

ROYAL CANADIAN Y. C, JULY 1. 



THE first race for the Queen's cup, lately presented to the Royal 

 Canadian Y. C. of Toronto, was sailed on Wednesday of last 

 week in unfavorable weather. The cup was open to Canadian 

 yachts of 40ft. corrected length and over, the starters being; 



Oriole, schr, Geo. Gooderham 73ft. 63.36ft. 



Aileen, cutter, .John Leys 55ft. 57.06f C. 



Vreda, cutter. Com. Bo-iwell 46ft. 



Verve No. 3, cutter. J. W. Hendrie 43ft. 



White Wings, sip, W. G. Town=end 43ft. 46.40ft. 



The above figures are not official, but are nearly correct. Oriole 

 has received a new and larger rig this year, the measurement 

 given being for last season. 



The course was twice around a triangle with 5 mile sides in the 

 lake of Toronto. The morning was rainy, with a light wind, the 

 gun being given at 10 o'clock, with only White Wings, sailed by 

 her old owner, Mr.,Iftrvis, and Vredaat theline. Oriole and Aileen 

 came down in tow of the steam yacht Abeona, but Verve, sailing 

 down, was handicapped 13m. When half the first leg was cov- 



„ - .. .. ings 



increased her speed until nearly even with Oriole, the limes at 

 the mark being: 



Oriole 11 11 00 Verve 11 13 30 



White Wings 11 11 30 Aileen 11 14 30 



Vreda U 13 00 



White Wings gained in quick working at tiie turn and got away 

 from the schooner, all starting sheet for the next mark, which 

 was hidden in the mist. The times were: 



White Wings 11 53 00 Verve 11 .58 00 



Vreda 11 53 80 Aileen 11 59 00 



Oriole 11 54 »1 



Tiie last leg of the fli-st round was sailed under spinakers, the 

 weather having cleared, but with the wind still light. The times 

 at the turn were: 



Vrada 1 36 00 Verve 1 87 30 



White Wings 1 26 45 Aileen 1 40 30 



Oriole 1 30 00 



On the the first leg of tne second round White Wings again took 

 the lead, the times being: 



White Wings 2 4 4 00 Verve 3 49 00 



Vreda 3 45 Of) Aileea 



Oriole 3 45 80 



There was more wind r,u tiie next leg, hut further ahead than 

 on the first round, making a long leg and a short. The times were 

 not taken at the last mark, but the order was White Wings, 

 Oriole. Vreda, Verve, Aileen. On the last leg, with increasing 

 wind. Oriole look the lead, with White Wings third, hut within 

 her time of Vreda. When a couple of miles from the finish 

 White Wings lost her topmast through the parting of a pair of 

 sister hooks in the backstay, her balloon jibtopsail going over- 

 board. The wreck was speedily cleared, but she lost too much to 

 save her lime, the cup going to Vreda by a narrow margin of 3s. 

 The full times were: 



Start. Finish. Elapsed. Corrected. 



Vreda 10 4 14 30 6 14 30 5 57 07 



White Wings 10 4 17 20 6 17 30 5 57 09 



Verve 10 4 26 13 6 36 13 6 03 57 



Oriole 10 4 13 35 6 13 25 6 13 35 



Aiheu 10 4 39 40 6 39 40 6 35 18 



Vreda has already won a Queen's Cup, that of the Royal Cork 

 Y, C. in 1889; but this, her second, is the first Queen's Cup ever 

 raced for on this side of the Atlantic.
