would stop; but so far from this being the case, she started with a 

 No. 3 clubtopsail and carried it all day, doing her best work when 

 outside tVie Hook. Mineola made very poor weather outside, 

 Anally springing her mast when only three miles off shore, and 

 towing home. Jessica and Nautilus sailed well together, Jessica 

 Anally winning. Those two races, in light and heavy weather, 

 went far to indicate that Gloriana had things her own way, at 

 least for a time until the other boats were workpd up; and this 

 opinion was confirmed in the three following regattas of the Sea- 

 wanhaka Corinthian, N%w York Corinthian and Atlantic, the 

 latter a special race for the 46£t. class. The weather was light on 

 each day. and the water smooth, but whether in a mere air or an 

 occasional scupper breeze, Gloriana kept far ahead of the fleet. 

 Sayonara, after many mishaps. Anally reached New York in time 

 for the Corinthian regatta, but failed to save her time from 

 .Tessiea. Uvira was also present, but classed with Liris and Mari- 

 quita, defeating both. In the Atlantic special, Sayonara defeated 

 Mineola, while Jessica again led Nautilus. The result of all this 

 racing was to-show that Gloriana was far and away faster than 

 any of the boats which raced with her, and, moreover, that she 

 would probably be so through the whole season. 



There still remained the four Eastern boats— Oweene, Beatrix, 

 Alborak and Barbara. The latter two were never considered as 

 winners, but Oweene was looked upon from the flrst as a fast 

 boat, as she has proved to be; while the majority of Eastern 

 yachtsmen were confident that Beatrix, the Burgess center- 

 boarder, was destined to lower Gloriana's colors. It was expected 

 that several of these boa ts would start in the annual regatta of 

 the Massachusetts Y. C on June 17; but none were ready, and the 

 day was so bad that only a few of the smaller boats completed 

 their course, the larger ones, sailing outside, all giving up. The 

 sweepstakes of the Eastern Y. C, on June 19, fared no better, 

 there being no large yachts present, and the annual regatta ten 

 days later was flat and inconclusive, though Beatrix sailed her 

 lirst race. She had against her only the old Thelma and the 40- 

 footer Gossoon, which latter has been through the season in the 

 46ft. class. The race was a fluke. Gossoon winning by 3J^min, even 

 time from Beatrix. Two days later a better race was sailed by 

 the Corinthian Y. O., of Marblehead, but unfortunately Beatrix 

 was disabled and did not start. Oweene and Alborak sailed their 

 first race. Gossoon being with them. Oweene defeated Alborak 

 very easily, the Paine boat proving defective in many points. 



Returning now to the Sound, the special race of the Larchmont 

 Y. C. on June 30 had but three starters— Sayonara, Mineola and 

 Jessica; this being the order at the finish. There was a strong 

 breeze and moderate sea, the two larger boats starting with one 

 reef in, though this was mainly on accou Qt of the wep.kne88 of 



their rigging. The finish was very close, Sayonara winning, 

 though the corrected time was not calculated for the usual rea- 

 son, neither boat being measured. The special race of the Sea- 

 wanhaka C. Y. C. at Oyster Bay, on July S, found the same trio, 

 but this time Mineola won by a minute. Her victory was the 

 more creditable from the fact that her owner, v,'ho was obliged to 

 steer her, having no Corinthian substitute, was suiforiug from a 

 serious mishap in the shape of several broken ribs, and steered all 

 day sewn up in a heavy canvas jacket. Jrssica was also handi- 

 capped in the matter of a helmsman, having no Corinthian to 

 steer. Mr. A. P. Montant was Anally persuaded to take the stick, 

 and though entirely new to the yacht, and accustomed to sailing 

 smaller and different craft, he sailed a very Ane race, beating Say- 

 onara and being but a minute astern of Mineola. 



The Larchmont regatta of July 4 was a novelty, the yachts being 

 handicapped, Jessica receiving the generous allowance of 8m. 

 from Mineola and Sayonara. At the same time in this class 

 another prize was offered under the regular club allowance, 

 while the Connor cup was also open, under the regular allowance, 

 to all yachts enrolled in the club. This time Nautilus was ready 

 with the other three, Gloriana having returned to Newport imme- 

 diately after the Bay regattas, with the intention of doing no 

 more racing until the New York cruise. Jessica was given the 

 generous allowance of 8m. each from Mineola and Sayonara, but 

 to the surprise of all she beat both very handily on even time, 

 thus taking the two club priaes, and only missing the Connor cup 

 through not being enrolled a as club boat. The wind was moder- 

 ate all day, a mild breeze, varying in spots, but giving no special 

 advantage to any one boat. Jessica sailed well on all points, but 

 made her greatest gain to windward, beating home from Cap- 

 tain's Island to the Hempstead mark, gaining over 3m. on this 

 leg. A part of the erf dit for her line showing on this occasion 

 must be given to the steering and pilotage of her Corinthian 

 helmsman, but even with this she should not have outsailed the 

 two larger boats in such weather. Nautilus again made a poor 

 showing to windward, though reaching and running very fast. 

 The ownership of the Connor cup was left undecided between 

 Sayonara and Mineola, neither having been measured, while 

 there was but one second between them in elapsed time. As 

 Mineola shortly afterward lost her mast and replaced it, her 

 exact measurement in this race was never determined and the cup 

 went to Sayonara. 



The same quartette was on hand early Monday morning for the 

 sailing regatta of the American Y. C, off Milton Point, a few 

 miles from Larchmont. The wind was strong northwest, Jessica 

 and Sayonara each setting a jibheader over a single-reefed main- 

 sail, mi a very fine race was promised. Mineola had a good lead 



at the outer mark, but her impetuous skipper ran into the mark- 

 boat, nearly turning it over. Though out of the race after this 

 manetiver, Mineola kept on in the lead all the way home; but 

 when witbin a couple of miles of the finish Capt. Haff undertook 

 to Set his jib heaaer, though there was still a strong breeze, aUd 

 t^ok the mast out of her. This made Sayonara the winner, with 

 Jessica again ahead of Nautilus. Only Sayonara and .Tessiea 

 came to the line next day in the New Rochelle Y. C. regatta, the 

 former taking the prize. On the first leg a foul occurred as 

 Sayonara was passing Jessica, and both yachts protested, but the 

 regatta committee declined to giye a hearing to the case. 



A DANGEROUS VOYAGE.-The Golden Eagle, ss., owned by 

 Lady Scott and commanded by Captain A. Paterson, arrived at 

 Cowes on October 18 from Stromferry, after a very perilous voy- 

 age. The yacht left Stromferry on the 2d inst., but on account of 

 bad weather had to put into several ports, and only reached 

 Kingstown on the night of the 12th, und remained until the 15th, 

 and rode out the hurricane ot the 13th and 14th. On the 15th 

 another move was made for Cowes, and when the yacht was off 

 the Smalls the same night a southerly gale of great violence 

 sprang up that no canvas could stand, and the yacht was hove to 

 in a mountainous sea, and so bad was the weather that great 

 fears were entertained as to the capability of the vessel living out 

 the gale. The weather moderated somewhat on the 16fch, and the 

 yacht was put on her course, and from then until the 18th a series 

 of moderate gales were experienced, and on the morning of this 

 day, when the yacht was within Ave miles of the Needles, the 

 main shaft broke and slipped out until the after stern post stopped 

 it, taking all the packing out with it, and allowing the sea to rush 

 into the vessel in such great quantity that it would have caused 

 the yacht to founder in a short time. The boats were ordered to 

 be in readiness, but happily were not required, as, by great perse- 

 verance, the hole was sufficiently stopped, and by the aid of the 

 ship's pumps and bailing the yacht reached Cowes safely. The 

 master reports that he has been fifty years at sea, but has never 

 experienced such awful weather. The yacht has since come into 

 the harbor and is being dismantled, and will go on the patent slip 

 for survey, as, besides receiving the damages named, she is con- 

 siderably strained.— iajid and Water. 



UTO WANA.— Steam yacht, W. W. Durant, has been laid up at 

 Cowes, her crew being sent home. The abandonment of the long 

 cruise for which the yacht was built is due to the illness of the 

 owner's wife at sea. 



SULTANA.-Steam yacht, T. L. Pdrk,"has recently left England 

 for the Mediterranean,
