 the managetnent of the Royal [Tamilioii Y. C, was partly 

 spoiled by the very unfavoraole weather, the day hping rainy 

 with squalls and light wmas, so tbat the start wis delayed and 

 the course was shortened to two rounds in place of three. A large 

 fleet was present from Oswesco, Toronto, R ichester and other lake 

 ports, and the entry list was very good, the classes and yachts

Yama, having no close ci mpetitors, has this year gone up into 

 the 43ft. cUss. . , , ^ ^ ^ . 



Merle, Yama's old rival, was not with the tleet. Dinah is a new 

 yacht, designed and budt by Thos. Dalton, of Hamilton, designer 

 of the yawl Molly and the cutt* r Nancy, for Mr. F. S. Maliock, of 

 the same place. The prizes were: Kir.-t class, over iOf t. corrected 

 leTjgtb, $40; 46tt. class, $40, $20, $10; 40£r. cla«s, $40, $20, $10; 35f 

 class, $80, $15, $10: 30tt. class, 330, $15, $10; 2ofi. class, $20, $10, $5; 

 21ft. clasB, S20, $10, $5. The course was an 8J^-mile trangle on ihe 

 lahP, three rounds lor the two larges classes, two rounds for the 

 30, 35 and 40£r. classes, one and one-third for the 25ft. and one for 

 the stijaller boats. 



Toe Kelpie dragged ashore on Monday hut was towed off with- 

 out damage. On Tuesday morning at about 9 o'clock a very heavy 

 thunder storm swept over the lake and Builington Bay, raising a 

 bad sea, th- wind b^ing very violent. During the squall Wniie 

 Wings was caught with her mainsail up and was driven ashore 

 in spite of the efiE rts of her crew, her cabin being partly flllpd. 

 An attempt was made to tow her off in time to s-tart hut it was 

 unsuccepsfui. In driving aslior« she fouled and cut the cable of 

 anew boat, the Florrie B , of Toronto, which also yrent ashore 

 and was out of the race. 



After the squall the wind was very light, from the west, and 

 the start was postponed for an hour, the gun for the larger boats 

 being fired at noon for a one gun start. It was der-ided to shorten 

 the c urse to two rounds in place of three. Verve No. 2 was the 

 first over, 45=. after the gun, with Yama on the even minute. 

 Tnen chthh Vreda, Oriole, Aggie and Condor. Spinakers were set 

 and the licet ran off in a thick fog. Vreda soon took the lead but 

 overstooo the first mark in the fog. Oriole being first and Vreda 

 second, then Y^ama, Verve No. 2, Agg=e and Condor, the latter 

 soon after lo>ing her topniiist. The first round was timed b.b fol- 

 lows, Yama having taken first place in the windward work:

 Jed her class by a long distance but was proiested by Verve for

 geon was run down and cut in two by the steamer Eurydice, her 

 crew having a very narrow escape. They were picked up by

 without her allowance, though 6l;t. shorter. Dinah won very 

 handsomely in her class. Samoa led her class at the line, but i y 

 a mistake of her helmsman she left the buoy on the wrong side, 

 and thus was not timed. Volante grounded and did not finish.

LOSS OF THE TIDAL WAVE.— The centerhoard schooner 

 yacht Tidal Wave, reported ashore last week, has become a total 

 loss, the hull going to pieces, and only the sails and rigging being 

 saved by the Boston Wrecking Co., which had charge of the work. 

 The story of the wreck is told as follows by Dr. A. L. Ranney, her 

 owner: "We left New Bedford on .Tuly 13 bound for Boston and 

 Bar Harbor, The wind was from the southwest and fair for the 

 run. After getting out of Buzzard's Bay we made good time over 

 to Quick's Holl. .lust before reacning tbe Holl it came on foggy. 

 Capt. G»o. W. Gibson stood through the Holl and over toward Gay 

 Head far enough, as he thought, to clenr the point on Basque. 

 Just after going through tbe Holl, the fog shut; In very thick. 

 Capt. Gibson shaped hs course down tbe sound, but in a little 

 while the yacht bumped hard, and we found that we were ashore 

 among a mass of .lagged rocks and couldn't get off. The waves 

 were rolling in from the southward and they pounded the yacht 

 quite hard. .She lodeed between two sharp boulders and stuck 

 tast; being raised and dropped again with each succpeding billow. 

 We were about a hundred feet from tbe shore, and fortunately 

 were discovered by a member of the P^sqne Island Club, who was 

 fishing from a stand on that end of the island. He directed my 

 crew where the safest place was to land mv wife, son ar d maid, 

 whicli was done in safety. The constant pounding of the vessel 

 on the sharp edge of the rocks ca.used two holes to be made in the 

 port side; one about under the foreriggingand the otherunder her 

 quarter. Through these openinss water poured in considerable 

 quantities, and the pumps would not keep ber free. The crew 

 saved what of their personal effects they could, and some of the 

 elegant furnialiings of the cabin. When we landed we found our- 

 pelv^es among friends, and we were comfortably quartered at the 

 Pasque club house one night. Just as ive were leaving Pasque, I 

 received a m-^ssage sta'ing that ihe Boston Tow Boat Company 

 had a tug at Vineyard Haven ready to pri ceed to try and fl )at the 

 yacht on the flr'^t favorable opportunity." Tne yachV had recently 

 been chartered by her owner to Mr. W. F. Blair for the remainder 

 of the season. 



PHILADELPHIA Y. C— A special meeting of this club was 

 held on July 13 to consider busir ess of improvement and house

 skill in the des'gn of the Puritan, May flower and Volunteer is 

 well known, not only to all yachtsmen, but ro everj one through- 

 out the land, and has aroused sued an extraordinary interest in 

 yachting as to justly entitle him to the honor of the creation of a 

 new era. That this club tender to his fam ly their condolence iu 

 their bereavement, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent
