CHERRY DIAMOND Y. C. CUP, AUG. IS. 



THE second attempt to sail the first of a series of three races for 

 the gold cup of tbe Cherry Diamond Y. C. was made success- 

 fully on Tuesday, the course being ten miles to windward and 

 return from Brenton's Reef Lighlship. The first attempt, which 

 failed through the absence of a stakeboat, was declared of£, but in 

 resailing only the original starters were eligible, JVIineola, Jessica 

 and Nautilus, the latter not showing at the line. A sweepstakes 

 of $80 was also on this race, whilp the private match between these 

 two boats for S3o0 was by agreement decided by it. 



The wind was light from S. S. W. as on the preceding day, the 

 start being made at 11:50 



Jessica cut across on iiort tack to take Mineola's weather, but 

 was too late, the other ou starboard tack putting her about and 

 covering her. IMineola gained steadily on the windward work, 

 Jessica losing something at the mark by overstanding. The turn 

 was limed: 



Mineola 2 11 44 .Tessica 2 16 00 



The run home under spinakers showed a big gain for Mineola, 

 the times being:

Jessica 11 51 35 3 41 15 3 49 40 3 47 59 



AtiQ. HO. 



The second race was open to all the class, but Gloriana declined 

 to start, Mr. Morgan being ill through the week, and so Beatrix 

 did not start, leaving the same pair as on Tuesday. The wind 

 this time was strong N.N.E.. tbe course being 10 miles to leeward, 

 logged ofl: by the tug Idlewild. The yachts crossed under club- 

 topsails and spinakers, being timed: 



Mineola 12 38 43 Jessica 12 39 31 



Mineola gained on Jessici on the run, and made a litile by bay- 

 ing her working topsail set when her club came in before the jibe 

 at the mark. Jessica taking in her club before setting her 'jib- 

 header. The times were: 



Mineola 1 53 ^9 Jessica 1 55 



On the beat home w ith a strong breeze Jessica held Miiaeola, the 

 sea hurting the wider boat somew^hat. The full times were:

 Marblehead next week after the Corinthian series. 



CORINTHIAN Y. C. SWEEPSTAKES, 1891, 



THE third annual sweepstakes of the Corinthian Y. C, of New 

 York, was no less a success than its two predecessors, being 

 one of the first events of the year in the leading racing class. The 

 inrerest in Gloriana and Beatrix this year was even greater than 

 that excited by Gossoon and Minerva last season, while the ques- 

 tion of the poorer places was this yearof special interest. Though 

 three of the ten entries, comprising all but one of the 46ft. class, 

 were not present, their places had already been pretty well 

 determined. The entries were as follows:

Belmont. 



The date fixed was Monday, Aug. 17, immediately following the 

 New York Y. C. cruise. The course was the same 25-mile triangle, 

 starting from Bren'on's Reef Lightship. This year the club issued 

 a very neat book containing rules and all information, including 

 a chart of the waters. 



The wind was light from S.S.W. on Monday morning when the 

 tug Idlewild ran out to the start with the regatta committee 

 Messrs. E. B. Clarke, W. H. Plummer, Wm. Gardner and C s' 

 Davidson. The first leg was laid out &% miles S.S.W., and the 

 preparatory signal was given at 12:07. witn the start at 13:17, the 

 handicap limit being 13:20. All of the boats were steered by their 

 regular helsmen, save Barbara, which for this race was in the 

 hands of Cape. John Barr. of Cinderella. 



All crossed on the starboard tack, with clubtopsails and balloon 

 jibtopsails set, Gloriana taking the lead, with Beatrix close to 

 ner. and the others strung out in close order. Barbara. Sayonara, 

 Mineola; Oweene being a couple of minutes after the leader, 

 while Jessica was handicapped, the times being: 



Gloriana 13 17 13 Mineola 13 17 51 



Beatrix 13 17 14 Oweene- 12 19 17 



Barbara 13 17 31 Jessica (handicapped). . .12 20 00 



Sayonara 13 17 35 



All headed olf shore at the start, but Barbara first and then the 

 others tacked and ran for NTarragansett Beach, holding the leg 

 until close inshore, when Gloriana was to windward of the fleet, 

 with Oweene next best, the Burgess cutter coming out ahead of 

 the Burgess centerboard Beat rix, when they crossed in tacking. 

 Beatrix held thii-d place, but Barbara was fourth, having a good 

 lead on Mineola and Jessica. 



The last half of the wnndward work showed Little change in po- 

 sition, the whole beat out being rather slow and not specially 

 exciting. The work was timed:

Mineola 2 34 28 3 16 37 



Jessica 2 38 35 3 15 54 



The elapsed times show very fairly the merits of the windward 

 work, Oweene making an even showing with Gioriana, and far 

 better tb an the rest. Balloon jibtopsails were set to port and the 

 fleet reached for tbe second mark with but little gain or loss all 

 around save by J.-ssica. Gloriana split the foot of hallooner 

 when half over the leg, sending up her No. 1 jibtopsail In ita 

 place. The times at second mark were;

The times of Oweene, Gloriana, Mineola and Beatrix on this

 Alter .Tibing at the mark, intermediate jibtopsails were set for 

 the reach home, Mineola alone carrying a bailooner. Gloriana
