Corinthian Y. C. of Philadelphia, June 16. 



E6SINGT0N— DELAWARE RIVER* 



The first annual regatta of the new Corinthian Y. C. of Philadel- 

 phia, was sailed on Thursday. Out of 20 entries 12 started, 4 com- 

 pleted the course, the others withdrew. At the hour set for starting 

 there was not enough wind to give steerageway. At 10:30 the com- 

 mittee signaled for first and second cla^s schooners and sloops to 

 sail course No. 2, 20 miles instead of the 30 mile course. At 11:11 a 

 slight breeze coming in from the southward the preparatory signal 

 was given, and five minutes later the starting signal for first and 

 second class schooners and sloops: being quite a distance from the 

 starting line all were handicapped from 5 to 10 minutes. At 11:26 

 the starting signal for the third class was given, and at 11 :31 for the 

 sixth class. The 18ft. club boat, Curlew, was the only one of the 

 starters to cross within the limit, all of the others being handicapped. 

 Curlew finished at 5:41:45, Narounya at 6:51 :36, Narina at 10:20:41, 

 the others being withdrawn. The yachls not having been measured 

 the corrected time is not given. The summary is as follows: 



Tide at start, ebb; weather cloudy and misty; wind very light, 

 almost a calm ; wind at start R. , changing to S,\V, in the afternoon.

MARBLEHEAD -BOSTON BAY. 



The opening race of the Corinthian Y. C, of Marblehead, for the 

 21 footers, both jib and mainsail and cats, in two classes, was sailed 

 on Saturday off Marblehead in a light and variable east wind, the 

 course being from off the club house around the bell buoy off the 

 Pigs, around Halfway Rock and home, 10 miles. Nino new boats 

 and one old one started iu the sloop class at 2:05 and five boats in 

 the cat class at 2:10. There was a little roll to the sea through the 

 race, the wind being very paltry and uneven. The first mark was 

 timed, unofficially:

Eastern Y. C. Handicap. 



MARBLEHEAD, BOSTON BAY. 



Only four starters came to the line at 10:55 A. M. on Saturday for 

 the special handicap of the Eastern Y. C, the 46ft. class not being 

 represented. The thirties however made up a good test fleet, two of 

 Mr. Burgess's best boats, the keel Fancy and centerboard Hawk, 

 starting against the Herreshoff fin-keel Handsel and the Hanley Cape 

 cat Ohapoquoit. The course was the twenty-four mile club triangle, 

 to the Graves, almost free, a beat to the Sea Mark, and a reach back 

 to the starting lme at Marblehead Rock. The wind was quite light 

 from the eastward, with little sea. 



The start was timed as follows: 



Fancy 10 55 22 Hawk 10 55 39 



Ohapoquoit 10 55 24 Handsel 10 55 43 



Handsel was at a serious disadvantage through her pole mast and 

 absence of light kites aloft; the other three carrying club topsail and 

 balloon jib topsails, while she could only set a spinaker. The Cape 

 boat soon took the lead, the work on the first leg being shown by the 

 following times at the Graves: 



Ohapoquoit 12 06 33 Fancy 12 16 34 



Hawk 12 16 38 Handsel 12 22 57 



To windward there was not wind enough for Handsel; Hawk 

 went hunting for a breeze out to sea, and when the fleet came to- 

 gether after, being scattered for nearly three hours, she had a long 

 lead, as follows: 



Hawk 3 20 34 Ohapoquoit 3 43 05 



Handsel 3 25 27 Fancy 3 46 24 



Ou the last leg, a reach, Hawk and Ohapoquoit both gained on 

 Handsel, the final timing being:

Beverly Y. C„ 183d Race, June 17. 



MONUMENT BEACH, BUZZARD'S BAY. 



The 183d race of the Beverly Y. C, the first open sweepstakes, was 

 sailed off Monument Beach on June 17. The wind was a good double 

 reef southwester at the start, and rapidly increased till the boats 

 were under three or four reefs. 



The weather was very thick and foggy at the start, and it soon shut 

 in so thick one could not see fifty yards, and the boats, especially 

 the leaders, lost much time in hunting for the marks. 



Only Hector in first class, and Kitten in fourth, appeared, and race 

 was confined to second and third classes. 



Tigress in second, and Hanley 's new Doris in third, proved to be 

 several inches over the class limit. Both took out ballast to get into 

 the class, and neither was able to do herself justice. 



The old Gymnote, altered over with a long overhanging full bow, is 

 much improved, and did very well until she opened a seam in her 

 bow and filled up with water, after which only vigorous bailing kept 

 her afloat, and she was beached after the finish. 



Mist, which started last, had gained on all and looked like a winner 

 when her tiller broke. Course for second class, 10J4 miles; for third 

 class, 8J4 miles.

Royal Canadian Y. C, June 11. 



CRUISING RACE TO PORT DALHOUSIE. 



The first race of the Royal Canadian Y. C, a cruising run from 

 Toronto to Port Dalhousie, was made on June 11, the starters includ- 

 ing two new yachts, Zelma, just built from Mr. Fife's designs, and 

 Aggie, an old craft that has been recently rebuilt, with new ends of 

 the Gloriana cut, making practically a new boat. The wind was 

 light, there being barely enough to start at 2:30 P. M.. and it was 

 from the east, making a heat. 



The start was made inside of Toronto Bay, off the city club house, 

 from east to west, the yachts then rounding a buoy off the Island 

 club house and then into the lake. In this way the fleet was some- 

 what strung out before reaching the narrow eastern channel, while 

 all spinakers were barred within the bay in order to avoid danger of 

 fouling with the many working craft. 



Aggie cut out Vreda at the line and took the start, securing a good 

 lead, Zelma being third and Condor fourth. Aileen was in company, 

 but not racing. 



Aggie gained a long lead in the early part of the race, Vreda and 

 Zelma keeping close together in second place. After a time the wind 

 fell, to come up later about 7 P. M. , quite fresh offshore. The yachts 

 were timed at Port Dalhousie:

The evening was spent on board of Aileen, she and Vreda finally 

 ge' ting under way about 11 P. M. for Hamilton, leaving the others at 

 anchor. All returned to Toronto next day.
