 Sept. 15, thus giving time for yachts to reach New York after the

West Hampton Country Club. July 23, 



WEST HAMPTON CENTRE, L, I. — MORICHES BAY. 



The first yacht race of the West Hampton Country Club, for the 

 season of 1892, was sailed over the club course In the eastern end of 

 Moriches Bay, on Saturday, in a moderate southwesi wmd. The 

 principal interest in this race was centered in the performance of 

 the new boats— Ann T., Maisie and Vitka, the two former built by 

 Gilbert Smith of Patchogue, and Vitka, by Thomas Clapham of 

 Roslyn. The opponents of these boats included the cup winners in 

 each class last year and two other crack boats by Smith. 



As will be seen from the annexed table, Maisie, though the smallest 

 boat in her class, won with ease, beating her nearest competitor by 

 over 4m. elapsed time. 



The Clapham boat finished third in her class, making a much 

 closer race than had been predicted by all the local experts. She 

 came in for second prize owing to the disqualification of Enigma:

Lake Yacht Racing Association, 1892. 



LAKE ONTARIO. 



Titm week and last the j^achtsmen of Lake Ontario, from Niagara 

 to I he St. Lawrence, have been enjoyinsr their grand annual vacation 

 on tlie ninth rouud of the lake by the Association of American and 

 Canadian Oiuh.s formed in 1884. Tbe programme arranged at the 

 spring meeting was as follows: Ticu'iei'.vous and fli-st race, Belle- 

 ville, Ontario, July 15; Oswego, July IB: Rochester (Charlotte), July 

 22: HamittoD, .July :;5; Toronto, RoyitI Oaaadian, July 27; Queen 

 Citv, July 28. The progr.-ininie was latei- changed to bring the Roches- 

 ter Y. C.'regati a on Jul V 23, while some of the yaclits arranged to 

 stop at Cobourg ou the way to the rendezvous for a special regatta 

 on July 13. The amount of work involved In the two weeks' cruise 

 including seven races is shown in tbe following table of the distances 

 around the lake: 



Miles, 



Hamilton to Toronto 30 



Toronto to Cobourg 65 



Cobourgto Kingston 95 



Kingston to Oswego 54 



Oswego to Charlotte ■ 57 



Charlotte to Hamilton 112 



Total 413 



Toronto to Oswego. 145 



Cobourg to Oswego 90 



Coboiirge to Charlott 55 



As the fleet is not made up of large schooners and steam yachts, 

 but of the smaller sailing yachts from }i^ft. to 45ft. waterline, and as 

 tbe two weeks of the cruise almost always include one respeetable 

 summer gale, such as the blow of 1884 at Oswego, that of 1885 follow- 

 ing the Toronto regattas and scattering the fleet, and that of 1890 at 

 Kingston, in which several yacbts were badly damaged, the cruise 

 calls for bard work and skillful sailorizing. a demand which the 

 hardy Coi'inihians of tbe Lake are always ready to meet. 



The Lake fleet this year is far ahead of anything yet seen on fresb 

 water, to tbe older craft, the Smith schooner Oriole, the two Watson 

 boa's Vreda and Aileen. the new Fife Yama and the old but re- 

 nowned Cyprus and the Cuthbert White Wings, having been added 

 three new' Fife boats built on tbe lake, Zelma, 40ft. class, Vedelte, 

 SOffc. class, and Nox, 25ft. class, with the Smith sloop Cinderella, the 



A, 





















Yama.— Owned by Allen Ames, Esq. 



Burgess 40 footer Choctaw, and the sloop Onward, all purchased in 

 the East. 



On the Lake the classification by sailmg length has passed the pre- 

 paratory and experimental stages which it is still enjoying among tbe 

 larger American yacht clubs, and is in practical operation, with the 

 best results. The'long and narrow yacht wbich has been confidently 

 predicted as the inevitable result of a classification by sailing in place 

 of waterline lengtb, has not yet been built; very much to the con- 

 trary, Mr. Fife, in attempting to beat Yama, built in 1890, by a new 

 yaebt, has taken in Zelma a foot more beam and a little less sail, on 

 the same draft, from all appearances thus far with^good results. 



The experiment of placing all the details of 'he timing and man- 

 agement of the races in the hands of one man proved so successful 

 last year that it was repeated this season, the official timekeeper of 

 the entire round heing Mr. Wm. Q. Phfibps, Royal Canadian Y. 0. 



Cobourg Regatta, July 12. 



COBOURG, ONTARIO— LAKE ONTARIO. 



There was no wind on Monday, and after waiting until the after- 

 noon, all attempts at a race were abandoned. On Tuesday there was 

 still a calm, but a start was made at 10:15, tbe course being from a 

 starting buoy moored about 100yds. south of the harbor to a buoy 

 two miles southeast by south of the starting buoy, thence to a buoy 

 about five miles west of south buoy in a line with Gull Island light- 

 house and thence back to starting buoy, leaving all buoys on the 

 srarboard tack. The first round was timed: Condor 2:15:55, Vreda 

 2-17;51, AVhite Wings 2:21:28, Oriole 2;24:07, Dinah 3;09:40, Zelma 

 2-12'45, Yama 3:12:50; lolanthe 2:27.14. Whitewings won in the first 

 cia'-s. Condor and Oriole giving up. The 40ft. class was timed as fol- 

 lows at the finish; Dinah 4:19:18. Zelma 4:20:27, Yama4:21:50. Dinah, 

 the winner, is a sister to the little Nancy, whose victory we recently 

 noted. In the 80ft. class Erma beat Vedette, and in the 25ft. class 

 Salola won, tbe starters being: Mona, of Hamfiton; Kelpie, of 

 Toronto; Quickstep, of Toronto; Nox, of Rochester; Java, of 

 Toronto; Odie, of Trenton, and Salola, of Hamilton. The race was a 

 drift throughout. In the evening a ball was given at the Arlington. 



Bay of Quinte Y. C, July 15. 



BELLEVILLE, ONT.— BAY OF QOTNTB. 



The programme arranged by the Bay of Quinte Y. C was as fol- 

 lows, the fleet being divided into but three classes: 



First Race.— For S100;for all yachts over 40ft. corrected length; 

 divided |60 to first, $40 to second. 



Second Race.-ForSlCO; for all yachts under 40ft. and over 30ft. 

 corrected length; divided $50 to first, $30 to second, $30 to third. 



Third Race.— Purse $75; open to all yachts under 30ft. corrected 

 length; divided $40 to first. $25 to second and $10 to third. 



The day was fair, with smooth water and a moderate S.W. breeze, 

 making a beat over one leg of the triangular course, with two legs 

 reaching. The course was a triangle of B% miles, sailed three times 

 bv the first class and twice by each of the others. Vreda went over 

 w'ith the eun, the one-gun start being used in all races of the L. Y. R. 

 A. Condor and White Wings also made good starts, but Oriole was 

 handicapped nearly 5m. The first class started at 12:80, the second 

 at 12:45, only Zelma. lolanthe and Dinah beuig present. The third 

 class started at 1 o'clock. The first round was timed: 



Vreda 2 01 00 Erma 2 48 10

Vedetie 2 39 25 Quickstep S 08 30 



Dinah was very unforfunate, losuig her mast at the hounds on the 

 last leg of this round. Zelma on the same leg, to wind ward, sailed 

 very fast, beating Vreda; the times of the round being:

After the race the fieet anchored off Massassaga Point, and on Sat- 

 urday morning all were under way early. A stop was made off Stone 

 Mills for an excur.-^ion ashore, and at night the fleet anchored in Mac- 

 Donald's Cove. On Sunday a heavy gale swept over a part of the 

 lake, doing damage to the shipping, and the fleet met rough water as 

 soon as the yacbts were clear ot the land, the wind being west, a reef- 

 ing breeze. The passage was wet and hard for the smaller yachts, 

 but all reached Oswego safely by night, where the yachtsmen found 

 the usual hearty welcome. 



Oswego Y. C, July 18. 



OSWEGO, N. Y.— LAKE ONTARIO, 



Monday was fair and bright, with a freshening westerly wind and a 

 good sea on the lake. The course laid out was five miles to wind- 

 ward and return, tbe yachts over 40ft. sailing 3 rounds, or 30 mfies; 

 those of 30 to 40ft , 3 rounds and the 24ft. class 1 round. A fine fleet 

 was present, including Yama and Cinderella, making -better classes 

 and closer racing than at Belleville, but unfortunatel.y Vreda while 

 on starboard tack just before the gun was in coHision with Yama, on 

 port tack, losing her bow&prit. The flrsc round was timed:

Mr. Wintringham. Yama's builder, was knocked overboard in the 

 fouhng, but picked up by Kelpie, she losing some time in con- 

 sequence. 



On the second rouud Yama gained on Zelma, finally winning. A 

 protest was made by Zelma against Yama for fouling at the outer 

 buoy on the first round, but it was not allowed by the committee.
