 ing she sailed a match with Vanessa, once around Bowditch Ledge, 

 6 miles, being beaten. 



The Corinthian Y. C. race of Saturday, postponed for want of 

 wind, was re-sailed, starting at 2:10 P.M. The course for the 2Ift.

189th race— MARBLEHEAD. 



The sail-off for the third class cats, not made on time July 29, took 

 place Atig. I, at Marblehead, in a strong two reef northeaster; 

 course from stakeboat off E. Y. C. house to Bowditch Ledge beacon, 

 and return, twicd around: Bowditch Ledge being 2% knots dead to 

 windward of starting point. 



Only Magpie, Koorali and Typhoon started, at 11:10, the Last 

 .crossed the line too soon and had to come back, losing i}4 minutes. 



Magpie and Koorali carried two reefs, Typhoon seemed to have 

 three. Magpie at first seemed to draw away from Koorali, but under 

 the Beverly shore Koorali picked up a htile. and Magpie not know- 

 ing the beacon turned rather wide at 12:01; Koorali made a close 

 turn three seconds later and took the lead. Coming home before 

 ,the wind Magpie stuck to her like a leach, the turn being made: 

 Koorali 12:29:11, Magpie 12:39:19, Typhoon 12:35:35. 



After rounding 1 hey split tacks for a minute, and when they met 

 Koorali on the port tack barely cleared Magpie. Koorali at once 

 ''^nt on starhoard tack, close to windward of Magpie, who at once 



Ipmed to shoot into the wind, Koorah went on port tack and Magpie 



ept on. When they next met Magpie led, and from here on gained 



■eadily. Bowditch Beacon was rounded by Magpie at 1:50:50, 

 Koorali 1 :51 :25. Summary is: 



Magpie, H. G. Otis 22.00 3 40 50 2 23 48

OsHKOsH, Aug. 21. — The annual regatta of the combined lleets of 

 takp v\ inuebago has been sailed and the yacht Carrie Morgan owned 

 jy ex-State Treasurer;H, B. Harshaw is jthe winner of the commo- 

 ibre's cup. The cup is a trophy given by Commodore Charles W. 

 Pelker several years ago, to be sailed for each successive year. The 

 a.ce for it ibis year was fixed for July 16. and upon that date a race 

 hat led to considerable hard feehng was sailed. Three yachts were 

 iptered. They were the Minerva of Fond du Lac, the Marguerite of 

 Itenasha and the Carrie Morgan of this city. The race had hardly 

 legun when the wind died ont and it developed into only a drifc- 

 ig match from which, just after rounding the stake boat, the 

 targueriie withdrew. The Carrie Morgan drifted in flrst and was 

 warded the prize. The Menasha yachtsmen at once entered a pro- 

 BSt claiming that the race should have been sailed under a rule 

 jreecribing a time limit of three hours, whereas fully five hours had 

 eea consumed. In consideration of the distance saUed, six miles to 



leeward and windward, they urged that the time limit was just. 

 Upon looking up the rules ot the Oshkosh Y'acht Club under which 

 the race was sailed, it was found that the Menasha yachtsmen were 

 mistaken as to time limit, that limit having been abolished by resolu- 

 tions in '85. Owing to the misunderstanding, however, Col. Harshaw 

 offered to sail a second race for the cup and a purse of $100. The 

 proposition was agreed to and Thm'sday, July 38 was fixed upon for 

 the second race. On that day it rained and the race did not come 

 off till the 29th. Again it developed into a drifting match and again 

 the Carrie Morgan won. The entries were the same as in the race of 

 July 16, and the course measured the same distance, twelve miles. 

 The exact time made was as follows:

Minerva 2 16 35 5 37 45 3 21 10

Owing to a time allowance due the Minerva the Carrie Morgan won 

 by only 35s., but the Marguerite was beaten by 3m. 



HuU Y. C, Aug. 1. 



HtJLL— BOSTON HARBOH, 



The race of second class boats of tiie Hull Y. C. on Aug. 1 found 

 only two sta.rters. Handsel and Ohapoquoit, the weati^er being Tery 

 unpleasant, a N.E. storm with a heavy sea. The start was made at 

 11:3' from ihe pUot boat's moorings ofiE Boston Light, the com'se be- 

 ing front the judges line, leaving Boston and Martin's Ledge buo.ys 

 on the port,' to the Graves Whistling Buoy, lea\-ing it on the star- 

 board to Davis Ledge Buoy, leaving it on the starboard, thence 

 leaving Harding's Ledge Bell Buoy on the port to starting line, 20 

 miles. 



There was a fresh N.E. breeze through the race. Handsel crossed 

 with a lead of 10s., gaining rapidly on the first leg to windward and 

 holding her own free. The times were:

Handsel wins 825 and one leg for the championship. 



Aug. 3.— On Tuesday a second race, the wind being IG.S.E. The 

 course was the same as on Monday, Imt there was smoother water. 

 At the Gravi-s Ohapoquoit was ahead, but on the beat to Harding's 

 she was passed b.y Handsel. On the close reach home, with more 

 wind, Handsel gained, the times being:

Pyxie— Reaper Match. 



Aug. 1 at 2:36 Pyxie and Reaper started on their match over same 

 course as Magpie and Koorali, except they were limited to the chan- 

 nel, which meant rougher water. Pyxie with four men aboard, car- 

 ried whole sail. Reaper, with live men, carried single reef and 

 stormjib set half-way out on bowsprit. 



They started on the second, Pyxie to windward; she at once began 

 to outpoint and rather outfoot Reaper; half-way down Reaper lost 

 about two minutes, luffing up and getting jib on end of bowsprit. 



Bowditch Ledge was rounded by Pyxie at 3:22:10, Reaper 3:28*45, 

 but in jibing round the beacon Pyxie badly cracked her gaff, a meas- 

 urement saving contrivance not over strong, uhe peak was slacked 

 down, but as she entered harbor gaff broke completely in two. She 

 crossed hue at 3:47:30, Reaper at 8:53:15. 



Pyxie of course was out of it and anchored. Reaper picked up a 

 mooring, put in another reef and then sailed over course with 

 Vanessa, who had jnst arinved and also carried double reefs and 

 stormjib. Tanessa came back 58 seconds ahead of Reaper. 



The accident to Pyxie was much regretted. It was fairly her race, 

 and after Mr. Sanderson's very sportsmanlike conduct in bringing 

 the boat from New Yoric and testing the 35 rating and 31ft. classes, 

 no one liked to see him lose a race in this fashion.

The Sale of the Alva. 



The wreck ot the steam yacht Alva was sold at auction on Aug. 5, 

 as she lies under water off Mouomoy Point, Cape Cod, the price real- 

 ized bei. g $3,500. The purchasers were Perkins & White, of Boston, 

 who will set to work at once to raise her if it is still possible. 



YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



The race for the Queens cup of the Royal Yacht Squadron was 

 sailed on Aug. 2, around the Isle of Wight, the principal interest 

 centering in the Emperor William II, , who was on board his yacht 

 Meteor. There seems to have been a general attempt to let Meteor 

 win, as Irema withdrew, L'Esperance grounded on the Brambles, 

 and Corsair was nearly half an hour astern. The weather was light 

 and fluky, and a stray breeze caught Corsau-, the Payne 40-rater, near 

 the finish, and brought her in just within her allowance. 



Eugene Spear of Chicago, is building a handsome standing keel 

 cutter yacht, :Wft. over all, 6ft. 6in. wide, and 4ft. 6in. deep, which 

 will be launched early this month. Joseph Hansen is the builder. 



On Aug, 3 both Meteor and Irene, Prince Henry's 40-rater, were 

 defeated ,

Big Shoot on the Jersey Range. 



The magnificent range at Sea Girt, where all the Jersey guards- 

 men are put through tnelr paces during the rifle shooting sea- 

 son, will be the scene of some intensely interesting matches on 

 Sept. 5 to 10, inclusive. These grounds aro on the New Jersey 

 State Camp grounds, said by compatetit judges to be the finest 

 camp grounds i d the world. Th^ plot comprises 148 aore« of land, 

 almost as level as a billiard table. The grounds are a parallelo- 

 gram in shape, bordered on the north by the Beach Road, 

 leading to the old Stockton mansion (now the Beach Housed; on 

 the west is the Long Branch Railroad; on the south Squan Lake, 

 and on the east the broad Atlantic, riituated 60 miles from New 

 York and only 13 miles from Long Branch (8 miles from Asbury 

 Park), the camp is not only easy of access, but those who go there 

 to take part in the shooting can readily run up to the Park or 

 Branch for a little relaxation in the evening. 



There are ten mid-range and ten short-range targets, all of the 

 elliptical pattern, similar to those used in the regular armv. 

 There are also two targets for 1,000yds. work. The shooting is 

 done toward the ocean, and the ligbt is invariably favorable.
