CLASS CHALLENGE CUPS. 



THE regatta committee of the New Haven Y. 0. has lately decided 

 a verv interesting case arising: from a protest made in the annual 

 regatta of July 8. The following letters give all the details of the 

 question. 



New Haven, Gonn., Aug. 7, 1891. 

 To the Regatta Oommittee of the New Haven Y. C; 



Gentlemen— I hereby protest the decision awarding the Wai-ner cup 

 to the yacht Stranger. 



First, Asthe yacht was placed in the class only for the day and race, 

 and therefore cannot win a prize that the yacht winning it must hold 

 subject to challenge from yachts in her class for a year. 



Second, The Wanda cannot challenge for the cup as by your decision 

 it is held by the Stranirer, a yacht in a lower class and under the I'ulea 

 of the New Haven Y. C. a yacht cannot go down in a lower class. 



Respectfally yours. Charles R. WAXERKOuaE. 



The decision is as fallows: 



At the annual regatta of the New Ila\ eu . C, sailed July 8, 1891. in 

 division C, class 3. the Warner cbalh^nge cup was awarded by the 

 judges to the yncht Stranger. From the decision of the judges, 

 Charles R. Waterhuuse, owner of the yacht Wanda, appealed to the 

 regatta conitnitcee, alleging as his reason for the same that as the 

 Stranger was placed in class 3 only for the day and race, tljerefore 

 the yacht could not win a yvize that she must bold, subject l,o chal- 

 lenge, fi'oui yachts in lier class for one year; and claiming that the 

 Wanda cannot now challenge the Stranger for the cup, because, by 

 the rules of the club, the Wanda cannot go down in a lower closs for 

 that purpose. 



On the morning of the regatta, no yacht ha^^ng appeared in division 

 C, class 4, to compete with the Stranger, her owner, Mr. ,1. W. 

 Macauley, gave duo notice to the regatta committee and judges that 

 he would' (titci' bis yacht in class 3 of that division, under tlie pro- 

 visions ri I iiratta and Sailink' Regulations,"' rule !. page el ill) 

 book f ■ • iiig any yacht of a smaller class to enter a race of 



a larg.-i -i ; , .ii-silniing the time allowance and luuiimum measnrc- 

 ment of tne hu si-r class. In accordance with this uotiee the Stranger 

 sailed in class 8, her time was t.alren, her allowance figured, and she 

 was declared by the judges winner hi that id ass, and entitled to the first 

 prize in that class, from which decision no appeal has been entered. 



The judges in accordance with tlie rules and regnlations governing 

 challenge cups, rule 1, page 68, club lioo^ for 1890, jir<ivii;liug that the 

 yacht making the best standard time in hor class at the annual regatta 

 shall be the winner in the class, further awai'ded to the Stranger tue 

 Warner challenge cup. From this decision Mr. Waterhouse appealed 

 for the reasons above stated. 



The regatta committee, after due consideration, affirm the decision 

 of the judges. The Stranger entered class -3 in accordance with the 

 regatta and sailing regulations of this club, and fairly and regularly 

 won the first prize in that class. No one questions this fact. The 

 rules and regulations governing challenge cups, rule 7. provide that 

 the regatta and sailing regulations of this club sliall ajiply in chal- 

 lenge regattas, cup regattas, matches and races, except as 'otherwise 

 provided in those special rules and regulations. This rule, we believe, 

 clearly provides that the Stranger, having regularly entered class 3 

 for one pm-pose. regularly entered for all purposes, and that having 

 won the first prize in the class she entered, she is also entitled to the 

 challenge cup awarded to that class. 



The Stranger having regularly entered class 3. and having won the 

 challenge cup awarded in that class, she now holds the cup and must 

 defend it against all challenges of yachts in class 3 in accordance 

 with the provisions of the rules and regulations governing challenge 

 cups. 



The Wanda and other yachts of class 3 will not he obliged, as Mr. 

 Waterhouse alleges, to go down into a lower class to comxsete with 

 the Sti'auger for the cup, but the Stranger upon challenge will be 

 obliged to accept the minimum time allowance of class 3, just as she 

 did at the annual regatta. 



The regatta oommittee have caused this decision to be entered 

 upon its records, and have forwarded a copy to Charles R. Water- 

 house.

YACHTS AS DUTIABLE MERCHANDISE. 



WHEN the cutter Madge, brought from Scotland to New York on 

 the deck of a steamer in 1881, was finally sold to American 

 owners, she was appraised as a manufacture of wood, and duty was 

 paid on her, we believe 35 per cent on her nominal value, she bemg an 

 old boat. In the case of other small yachts imported by steamer 

 afterward, UUdia. Delvyn, Circe and Shona, the same course was fol- 

 lowed, and in default of a specific duty on yachts, they were classed 

 by the Treasury Department with carriages. Until the past year there 

 has been no thought of interference with the larger yachts which have 

 sailed over on their own bottoms, and no duties of any kind have been 

 imposed upon them. 



The first intimation of a change of policy on the part of the Govern- 

 ment was given in the report of the Commissioner of Navigation for 

 last year, in which a comprehensive scheme for the total exclusion 

 of all yachts of foreign build, .as well as for the imposition of 

 onerous charges and restrictions on yachts of American build and 

 ownership, was outlined and warmly recommended. Though the pro- 

 posed biUs presented in this report were not passed last year, a very 

 strong opposition being met from yachtsmen, the same iniiuence has 

 been at work, compelUng the documenting of American yachts hitherto 

 exempt and striving in everj; way to prevent the use of foreign built 

 craft. The effort to collect light dues, which if successful would have 

 loaded the yachts with prohibitive charges at every port, proved a 

 failure, the tax being declared illegal in the recent decision of Judge 

 Benedict. Undeterred by this failure. Commissioner Bates and Assist- 

 ant Secretary;Nettleton have started on anew tack, the nature of which 

 is shown by the following letter: 



TREAstTEY Department, Office of the Secretary. 

 Collector op Customs. New York, N. Y. : 



Sir— The question a« to whether the yacht Conqueror which was pur- 

 chased in England by Mr. F. W. Vanderbilt and brought into the port 

 of New York, shallbe regarded as a dutiable importation having been 

 referred to the Solicitor of the Treasury, that officer, under date of 

 14th inst., advises this department that said yacht is, in his opinion, 

 liable to duty tmder the fair intendment of the Tariff act. 



You will accordingly take the necessary steps for the appraisement 

 of said vessel for duty and the assessment and collection of duty there- 

 upon according to law. 



The question as to the Uahihty of said yacht for tonnage tax should 

 he referred by you to the Commissioner of Navigation, under synopsis 



" Respectfully yours, A. B. NETTLETON, Assistant Secretary . 

 As yachts are not included in the tariff schedule of the new McKin- 

 ley bill, the Conqueror has been classed as a "manufactm-e composed 

 wholly or in part of iron and steel," the duty on this class being 45 per 

 cent. Her cost in England was $17,750, which would make the duty 

 $34,987.50. 



Mr. Vanderbilt learned of the above letter through the daily papers 

 last week, and on Aug. 36 tailed fi*om Newport to New York in order 

 to bring the matter to a settlement. On Thursday morning he visited 

 the ofiBces of his lawyers, Messrs. Root & Clarke and in company with 

 Mi\ S. B. Clarke called upon Collector Passett at the Custom House, 

 The Collector requested Mr. Vanderbilt to make a voluntary 

 declaration of the entry of the yacht as dutiable merchandise, which 

 he declined to do, on which he was informed that if such entry was 

 not made by 2 P. M. the yacht w ould be seized by the Custom officers. 

 No entry being received by that hour, two inspectors were despatched 

 to Stapleton, Staten Island, where they boarded the yacht and took 

 possession without opposition, 



Mr. Vanderbilt on Sept. 1 filed a libel against Collector Fassett, and 

 began suit to recover the yacht, with aamages for her seizure and 

 detention. 



LAKE CHAMPLAIN Y. C. 



THOUGH but four years old, the Lake Champlain Y. C, of 

 Burlington, Vermont, will rank in point of numbers with 

 many of the older clubs, its roll including no less than 337 active 

 members. The club house, situated on the harbor at the foot of 

 one of the principal streets, i.s a very large and well-arranged 

 building, with meeting room, toilet room and a large boat room 

 on the first floor, while on the second is a hall for dancing, ladies' 

 rooms, kitchen, and outside a wide balcony on the four sides, from 

 which a bijautif ul view of the lake may be had. The fleet numbers 

 52 yachts, 33 being steamers, from Com. W. .Seward Webb's fine 

 steel yacht Elfrida, of 113£t., down to the smaller sizes of launches. 

 The annual regatta was held on Aug. 31, and in spite of bad 

 weather was a most complete success, so far as the entertainment 

 of the large number of members and guests were concerned. The 

 day was rainy, with half a gale blowing, so that some of the com- 

 petitors were unable to reach Burlington, decreasing the starters. 

 A great feature of the occasion was the canoe racing, the club 

 very geuerously inviting the entire camp of the American Canoe 

 Association, at Willsborough Point, opposite Burlington. A 

 special steamboat was sent over in the morning at tbe club's ex- 

 pense, bringing the canoeists to the club house and returning 

 them late at night. Dui-ing the day the house was thronged with 

 ladies, a lunch being served at noon; and in the eveuing a grand 

 tail was given. 



The two sailing races came ofE in the afternoon for classes 1 and 

 8. In the former but two yachts started, Nautilus, a handsome 

 Burgess -tO-footer, built on the Lake, and Burlington, a 37ft. 

 sharpie. Nautilus, owned by Mr. Hortio Hickok, won by over 

 40m., the course being 10 miles. The third class race, over a 6- 

 mile course, resulted as follows;

THE BANGOR CORINTHIAN Y. C. 



Editor ForcM and Stream: 



T see that you have published the lines of Iota, built by Fife for 

 Mr. A. S. Matier, of the Bangor Coriuthi.an Club. I was over 

 there during the summer of 1.8S9, and right pretty racing there 

 was. Fife built three boats, nail for nail, stitch for stitch, side by 

 side, and every Saturday through the season they were manned 

 by Corinthian.-J, ami it was nip and tuck all the time and the 

 crews were smart. Accortiing to my recollection the boats were 

 rigged as .sloops and not outtHrs. I know they had no topmasts, 1 

 believe onlv one head sail. They were very narrow, and to one 

 who wflB used to the broad boats of American waters, the only 

 thing when aboard was just to sit still and bold on tight. 1 see 

 that you give some measurements, but I do not think you are 

 right'; my recollection is that lota was 30ft. over all, and though 

 by the plans she has (iff. of beam, I never would have thought it. 

 They were three pretty boats, finished to perfection and well 

 sailed. 



The Bangor Corinthian Y. 0. has made some good sailors. 

 Everybody who comes in, he it he or she, is rated as "boy" until 

 he or she can make a short splice, a long splice, an eye splice, 

 know the rules of the road at sea and various elementary bits 

 of seamanship. Then, having passed a formal examination by 

 duly appointed officers of the club, he or she, as the case may 

 be, is ranked as "ordinary seaman," and on further qualification 

 in a boat under way, got a red*'3tar" imprinted on his or her cer- 

 titlcate. 



Later came tlie degree of "able seaman," and then that of 

 "mate." Only able seamen could vote and mates were alone 

 eligible to office. 



Yoti say that Fife built four boats for the club this year, and 

 that they are sailed with ".^imiile lug mainsails and jibs." You 

 may be correct, but 1 think that they are rigged with a jib, a 

 balance lug, trimmed down flat with a downhaul to the keelson, 

 and a mizen, probably a lug. Thisrig— alugyawl— has always been 

 a favorite with the members of this club. The fishermen in that 

 part of the world are very fond of a dipping lug, with a loose foot 

 on a mast raking away forward— but the Corinthians never took 

 to it. 



By the wav, I am glad to see how the yawl rig is growing in 

 favor. In 1883 1 spent the summer at Sheepshead Bay, and I there 

 sailed about the first yawl in these waters, with a good big mizen, 

 not the scamp that you see in British waters. This morning when 

 I went down for my usual wetting, there were two fair-sized 

 yawls, and also a cat yawl. I've always had an idea that the latter 

 is about right — that is with a heavy gooseneck that can be set 

 up forward to carry a spinaker boom, which could be used as a 

 bov/sprit as well. Gray John. 



Port Jepfehson, N. Y. 



[Our measurements and descriptions were correct in both cases. 

 The new boats have hut two sails, jib and ordinary lug mainsail.] 



THE MOSHER LAUNCH NORWOOD. 



BUT little has been heard of the new launch Norwood, designed 

 by C. D, Mosher for Norman L. Muuro and built by W. K. 

 Pryor, of Boston, in 1889, since she came to New York last summer 

 and was docked at Wintringham's to prepare for a trial trip. 

 This trial, as it happened, was by no means satisfactory, and the 

 yacht has since been overhatiled and somewhat altered, the 

 engines, by Riley & Cowley, of Brooklyn, and the hull, by W. A. 

 Seaman, of Branchport, N. J.; the concave run having been filled 

 in. On Aug. 19 the Norwood made another trial trip, meeting the 

 twin screw steamer Monmouth, of the Sandy Hook Line, off Bay 

 Ridge, and beating her easily to the dock at the Horseshoe, on the 

 Hook. The Monmouth is probably the fastest steamer on the Bay, 

 being good for over 30 knots, and she was quickly left astern by 

 the little launch, but no accurate times of the latter were taken, 

 though it is claimed that she made over 27 knots. 



The Norwood was designed to make thirty miles an hour, and to 

 that end her canstruction was made as light as possible, while 

 she was provided with very powerful engines. Though built in 

 Boston the work was carried on with the utmost secreov, the shop 

 being hermetically sealed, with every crack and knot hole caulked 

 tight, the only keys being in the possession of the designer and 

 the builder. The hull is 63ft. 3f^in. long, 7ft. Sin. heam, 1ft. 6in. 

 draft, and displaces nearly 8 tons. The keel Is made of a steel 

 girder, the frames are of steamed oak, IMin. square and spaced 

 8in.; the planking is of mahogany, the inner skin of«%in. and the 

 outer one of 5^in., with a layer of canvas between. The plank 

 fastenings are phosphor bronze screws. The engine is a triple 

 compound, cylinders 9. 11!^ and 33 by 9in., designed by Mr. Mosher. 

 The shaft and also the connecting rods are hollow, the bore of the 

 latter containing sticks of lubricant. The boiler is a modification 

 of the Thornycroft type, yyith two steam drums in place of one. 

 It is 7ft. 3in. long, 6ft. wide and ;3ft. I5in. high. The grate surface 

 is 25) sq. ft.; the weight is 2^4 tons, while the engines weigh 1 ton. 

 A Sturtevant blower is used for the draft, operated by a small 

 independent engine. Mr. Mosher is now at work in connection 

 with Mr. Wm. Gardner on the designs for a larger and faster 

 steam yacht.

CORINTHIAN MOSQUITO FI.EET, FIFTH REGATTA, Aug. 

 £3.— The fifth regatta of the Corinthian Mosquito Fleet was sailed 

 on Aug. 33 off Larchmont, the courses being: For classes 1, 3 and 

 4, from buoy anchored opposite Larchmont Club house, around 

 spar buoy on west end of Execution Light, around Matinicock 

 J3uoy, leaving all buoys on port hand, to finish, 13 miles. The 

 course for all other classes was from the same starting line, 

 around Execution Reef and black spar buoy on Constable Reef, 

 leaving buoys on port hand, thence to finish, 7 miles. The chief 

 feature of the day was the race in the first class for the club's 

 subscription trophy between the two 35-footers, Needle and the 

 Wetmore boat, and the Clapham boat Chippewa. The wind was 

 moderate from the S. W., the first leg being to windward, Chippe. 

 way gaining 393ec. on the Wetmore boat. From this out the two 

 sailed very evenly, but Chippewa was finally disqualified for 

 going inside the Hen and Chickens Buoy, giving the Wetmore 

 boat the second leg for the cup, which must be won three times. 

 The fnU times were:
