Eastern Y. 



C. Special Race, 

 Marblehead. 



Aug. 11. Off 



The race for the Gerry cups nominally ended the cruise, but the 

 race on the following day. ihursday, was practically one of the 

 same series of cruise races, though euiirely an Eastern Y. C. att'air. 

 Com. Forbes flrst made an offer of cups of equal value with those 

 offered by Com, Gerry, but the entries were not numerous, only the 

 46 footers being willing to start. A S250 cup was promised them, and 

 finally the four schooners. Constellation. Marguerite, Iroquois and 

 Mayflower, made up a sweepsiakes of $100 each, and started. The 

 regatta' committee of the Eastern Y C. managed the race from the 

 tug Dudley Pray and with a light S. S. W. wind selected the Nabant- 

 Glouceslei' course; from Halfway rock southwest by west, one- 

 quart-r west, se^en miles to a mark off Nahant; thence east by south, 

 one-half south. S% miles to the E. Y. C. turning buoy; thence north 

 by east, three-quarters east. 9)4 miles to the whistling buoy off East- 

 ern point, Gloucester; thence southwest by west, one-half west, 6}4 

 iniies to the finish at Halfway rock. 



This course is almost an isosceles triangle, the start and finish 

 being in the center of the long side; as the wind held it gave a beat, 

 then a quartering run, then a dead run, and finally a close reach 

 home. 



The start was made at 11 A. M., a one-gun start for the 46-footers 

 and a time start five mmutes later for the four schooners. Barbara 

 was not ready, and only Wasp, Gloriana and Harpoon started, the 

 three going over with a rush within less than a minute, till on pore 

 tack inshore, Gloriana leading, with the other two just astern, abeam 

 of each other. „ . 



The schooners made the usual deliberate start— Constellation, 

 11 :08:2'»; Iroquois, 11:09:39; Mayflower, 11:10:45; Marguerite, 11:12:51. 

 Marguerite carried a peculiar little maintopmascstaysail for wind- 

 ward work, a triangular sail. All crossed on port tack, but Constel- 

 lation soon went about and stood off after Wasp and Harpoon, to- 

 gether working seaward, while the other three schooners headed in 

 toward Nahant, in the wabe of Gloriana. 



Wasp gained on Harpoon and was able in a short time to cross her 

 bows tacking seaward, but soon made another ttck inshore to meet 

 Gloriana. The latter held on until close to Pig Rocks, tacking and 

 cro8.>iing the bows of Wasp, then going on starboard tack to wind- 

 ward of the others as they stood in for Nahant. Constellation held 

 offshore for a long time, leaving the other schooners to follow the 

 46-footers. Mayflower catching Iroquois near the Pigs. Both Wasp 

 and Gloriana overstood at the Nahant mark. Harpoun astern seeing 

 their mistake in time to profit a little by it. Mayflower was now the 

 leading schooner. Constellation being second, having made the whole 

 leg offshore alone. The times at the Nahant mark were:

The next leg, 8% miles, with a moderate breeze abaft the beam, 

 was rim with no cnange of place and little of position, Harpoon gain- 

 ing on Gloriana. The times at the E. Y. C. mark, the white buoy, 

 were:

The next leg, 9!^ miles, was so nearly before the wind that it was 

 a question as to which was the side for the spinaker. Harpoon set 

 hers to port, all the schooners but Mayflower following her. Wasp 

 and Gloriana chose the s'.arboard side, which proved to be the wrong 

 one. The wind was increasing all the time, the boats travelling fast, 

 and Harpoon steadily gaining on Wasp. The latter shifted her 

 ■ spinaker to port, but Gloriana kept hers to starboard. Harooon 

 floallv caught Gloriana, the latter when near the Eastern Point 

 mark having to run by the lee to take her spinaker in. When she 

 finally jibed, after taking it in, there was a df lay with the backstay 

 and her topmast went over the side. The times at this mark were:

Mayflower 2 55 42 Iroquois '3 10 55 



On the last leg, 6J4 miles, the wind was quite fresh, and so nearly 

 ahead that the singlestickers could just lay their course, the schoon- 

 ers making a snort hitch to weather the finish line. The full times 

 were:

Marguerite wins the $400 sweepstakes, unless a remeasurement

 wmd was shifting and flukv, the race was in the main a very fair 

 trial, and taken with the preceding ones of the cruise, places Wasp 

 as the first of the 46ft. class.

TORONTO — LAKE ONTARIO. 



The race of the Royal Canadian Y. 0. for the Lansdowne cup on 

 Aug. 6 was one of tne prettiest matches sailed this year on Lake 

 Ontario, being practically confined to the two new Fife boats Zelma, 

 40ft. sailing length, and Vedette, iBOft. The other two starters, Erma 

 and Wa-Wa, were outmatched and did not finish. 'Ihe course was 

 across a line from a buoy oft' the town club house, thence around one 

 at the Island club, returning around the starting buoy, through the 

 westward channel four miles to windward or leeward and return in 

 the lake, and back through the channel, finishing over the starting 

 line, all buoys to port, making 12 miles in all. 



The day was fair, calm throughout the morning and with only a 

 moderate N.W. breezs when the gun fired at 2:30. Vedette, steered 

 by Mr. ^mihus Jarvis, was over promptly, Zelma, steered by Mr. 

 Norman Dick, was half a minute later. Erma fouled the buoy as she 

 crossed, saihng short-handed and with ladies aboard, but followed 

 the others. Wa-Wa was last over. The short leg across Toronto 

 Bay to the Island buoy was made with wind abeam, Zelma passing 

 Veciette. At the first turn Vedette was hindered by Erma, who 

 turned the buoy with her. Zelma still led on the reach back to the 

 ciiy buoy, and the beat out through the channel to the Lake, spinaker 

 being set for a time. At the outer mark, with 6m. lead, Zelma 

 seemed to have the race in hand, but with a stronger breeze and 

 some clever handling, helped by a little delay to Zelma through some 

 damage to her jib sheets, Vedette made up a good part of her loss, 

 enough to bring her over the line well within her allowance. The 

 times were:

Congressman W. J. White. 



The despatches for Au^. 9 have the following interesting news: 

 "Clevelanp. O., Aue. 9.— The Hon W. J. White, the millionaire 

 manufacturer of chewing gum, was nominated for Congress by the 

 20th district Republican convention to-day on the first ballot, the 

 vote standing IbS^ for White to 114 for Burrows, of Painesville 

 White has the Republican plurafity (2,000) back of him, and nomina' 

 tion is equivalent to election." 



Mr. White is well known as the owner of the steam yacht Say 

 When, a world wide cruiser, and doubtless the fastest boat on the 

 Great Lakes. Even more widely known than Say When is that Yuca- 

 tan gum, which many a yachtsman, cruiser and camper has made 

 part of his stores. Yucatan gum binds Mr. White to the people very 

 nearly, and his election will be a popular one. 



Newark Bay Boat Club. 



The Newark Bay Boat Club, a large and prosperous organization 

 with two fine club houses at Bayonne, N. J., on Newark Bay, sailed 

 its first race on Aug, 6, The club house was crowded during the 

 afternoon by members and friends, and a varied programme of sail- 

 ing, rowing and swimming races was successfully carried out under 

 the direction of Messrs. Amerman. Higgins and Woodward, Tee 

 sailing race was over two rounds of a five mile iriangle, in a good

YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



I (The following are the winners in the Beverly Y. C. open regatta, 

 the l87tn, of July 29. Our first report was in error in stating that 

 Chapoquoit withdrew, she found both marks and made the whole 

 course, her three competitors failing to do so. First prizes won by 

 Chapoquoit, Beatrice. Second prize won by Susie. Fourth class 

 prizes are taken by Alpine and Marchioness but which gets first 

 would be decided till Marchioness is measured. Third Class Cat 

 Race will be re sailed Aug. 1. Third Class Sloop and Special Class 

 prizes both go to same boats. On the face of returns both firsts go 

 to Alpha. Both seconds to Freak. Both thirds to Catspeed but 

 Freak protests Alpha for setting two jibs at once and Alpha protests- 

 Freak's start. The B. Y. C. rule as to sail differs from E. Y. C, 

 B. Y. C. i-ule reads boats may carry jib and mainsail and the Com- 

 mittee in advance defined a jib to be jib shaped sail set to end of 

 bowsprit or on jib stay, and noisted by jib halliards or halliards no 

 higher up. Circular permits booming out, provided tack of sail is 

 kept at end of bowsptet. The Committee decided a sail so set was a 

 jib and not a spinaker. 



We have received from Messrs. Estes & Lauriat, Boston, a lasge 

 volume entitled "The Official Register of American Yachting." corn- 

 piled by Mr. Wm. B. McCleham, secretaiy of the Boston Y. C. The 

 work is a complete yacht register on a new plan, the yachts being 

 grouped according to their clubs, full information concerning the 

 officers, stations, dues, etc., of each club, with. date of building, 

 dimensions, and all the usual particulars concerning each yacht. The 

 club pennants and private flags are handsomely printed, and the list 

 is very complete. The volume also contains much useful matter of 

 a miscellaneous nature, the signal code, fog signals, "wig -wag" sig- 

 nals, rules of the road, Ust of fixtures, etc. Altogether it is a most 

 useful work of reference for all interested in yachts and yachting. 



In consequence of the unexpected extension of the New York Y'.C, 

 cruise to Marblehead, the Corinthian Y, C. has been obliged to post- 

 pone its annual sweepstakes off Newport to Aug. 22. 



There was considerable interest at the Indian Harbor Y, C Green, 

 wich. Conn,, in a match race 00 Saturday, Aug, 6, for a cannon 

 between the cutter Estela, formerly Wilful (Mr. 0. S, Somerville). and 

 the sloop Marie (Mr. Jas. B. Bcaith). Course was from black buoy off 

 east end of Little Captata's Island to black buoy off Matinicock, and

 start promising one of the largest and pleasantest meets yet held. 

 The number and importance of the recent yacht races of the New 

 York Y. C, cruise has delayed our reports of the meet, but we shall 

 give the usual complete reports of the camp and the races in the 

 following humbersof the Forest AND Stream. The races will oc-

Northern Division Meet. 



Friday, July 22, opened bright and very warm, with a few new 

 arrivals; The regatta committee were hard at work all day arrang- 

 ing a programme for the following week. In the afternoon Mr. Thomp- 

 son called upon us and invited us to visit his large lumber mill and to 

 a sail on Lake St. John on the following morning. Saturday saw the 

 members up bright and early. Canoes were soon pushed out from 

 shore, and after a short paddle in the boiling sun we reached Long- 

 ford Dock, where Mi-. Thompson had waiting for us a team and a hay 

 rack, and in about twenty minutes we were landed at the mill, where 

 we were conducted through the different departments of their large 

 business. 



Again boarding the hay rack, we drove to the steamboat landing on 

 Lake St. John, where a tus: was waiting for us; and we steamed away 

 northward up the beautiful lake. After passing large booms of logs, 

 we arrived at the "portaae," where, by the aid of steam and an end- 

 less chain, the logs are transported overland from Lake Coucbiching 

 to Lake S. . John, about a quarter mile. Returning we reached camp 

 in lime for lunch, greatly pleased with forenoon outing and the kind- 

 ness shown us by the owner of Geneva Park. 



Immediately after lunch active preparations were gone into for the 

 reception of Commodore Winne, who was expected over by the after- 

 noon boat from Orillia. aiany suggestions had been offered as to the 

 form the reception should take, but by a large majority of the mem- 

 bers it was decided to have a procession to meet the boat and escort 

 tho commodore to headquarters. Stock being taken for material to 

 form a processsiou, we found the following available candidates: 

 One horse, two donkeys, two gotts. two peacocks, hens, duck, etc. 

 The horse was placed at the head of the procession ridden by a 

 cinoeist in a bathing suit with sugar loaf straw hat. Next came the 

 donkey attached to hi-s little buggy driven by another canoeist in a 

 red blanket and painied face, with a vacant seat for the Commodore, 

 closely followed bv a guard of honor consisting of twelve stalwart 

 canoeists with paddles on their shoulders and dressed in gorgeous 

 array, the remaining part of the procession being made up of the 

 rest "of the canoeists. The time prior to the coming of the boat was 

 spent in active rehearsals by the guard of honor. The procession 

 Started for the dock and reached it as the boat steamed in, but no 

 commodore appeared, much to the regret of the canoeists, but feel- 

 ing it would be too bad to spoil the fun the vice-commodore, spotted 

 the stalwart form of Dr. Powell, of Toronto, who was seized by him, 

 and with the aid of the guard of honor was safely placed in the 

 vacant seat reserved for the commodore. The procession being now 

 complete they started down through the avenue of trees to the 

 ladies' camp, thence to headquarters, where they were received with 

 blowing of horns, cheers of the canoeists and braying of the donkeys. 



Feeling sure that Com. Winne would arrive by the evening train 

 the vice-commodore went over to Orillia to meet him, but much to 

 his regret failed to see him, he having in the meantime arrived at 

 Orillia and driven to the camp, coming in by the rear. Soon a camp- 

 fire was Ughted, and every canoeist in camp assembled to meet the 

 jovial commodore and to hear Mr. Flufty's Canoe and other recita- 

 tions. 



Sunday was quietly spent in camp, some members enjoying them- 

 selves in sailins, others paddling m different parts of the lake; and 

 the balance taking frequent baths to keep themselves cool. In the 

 evening a camp fire with hymns by the choir, lead by Com. Winne. 



Every person in camp regretted the arrival of Monday morning, 

 for at 9:30 o'cleck the boat was due to leave and take with it the 

 commodore, who had been the life of the camp for the last two days. 



A light but sure wind blowing from the southeast the regatta com- 

 mittee ordered the r.acers to be ready at 10 :.30 o'clock for the free- 

 for-all sailing race, the following canoes started:

Harry Ford, canoe H. F. McKendrick, canoe Mac 89. 



D. B "Jacques, canoe Waif. 



The canoes got away well together with Una in the lead on the 

 reach to the second buoy: rounding the buoy for the close-hauled 

 work they soon spread oiit, Una still keeping the lead, closely fol- 

 lowed by Waif. Turning the third buoy for the free run home, Mab 

 showed great speed with her loOft. of sail, passing both Eel and 

 Waif and shortening the distance between herself and Una. On the 

 nest leg Waif again passed Mab, taking second place, This order 

 was maintained untU Mab fouled the buoy at the jibe, shortly after 

 capsizing, thus putting her out of the race. Time: First, Una, 44m.; 

 second, Waif, 45m., sndlhird. Eel, 4614m. 



The next event called was the opeu canoe single blade half-mile 

 padaUng, which -n^as won by J. H. Carnegie, with Harry Ford second.

 and J. H! Carnegie in open canoes fom-th and fifth. 



About 6:30 o'clock large black clouds were noticed in the north- 

 west, and in less than half an hour we had a terrific rhunderstorm, 

 accompanied by a gale which blew over some of the tents, postponed 

 the camp-fire and kept the rest of the camp driving tent pegs and 

 tightening guys. 



Tuesday the first race called was the open canoe sailing, 3 miles, 

 won with case by Chas. E. Archbald, with H. R. Pratt second. At 

 10:;10 o'clock was the tandem paddling, won by Archbald and Pratt, 

 with Carnegie and Ford second, and Sweny brothers third. The 

 first event in the afternoon was the record sailing race, started in a 

 good northwest wind, which gave the sailers all they wanted to doto 

 handle their large sails. The Waif took the lead, closely followed by 

 Mab, and was never passed, finishing in the following order: First, 

 Waif, second -M^ab, third Gwen, fourth Eel, fifth Una and sixth Mac. 



H. F. iV'cKendrick did not fl.jish, having come to grief by the 

 breaking of his hiking seat. 



Second event was the upset sailing, distance half a mile, with wind 

 abeam. The sight of the canoes in this race was hi autiful 

 from headquarters as they kept coming in abreast, and at 

 equal distances apart, MTien two-thirds distance on their course 

 the signal was given to capsize, all the canoes going over almost to- 

 gether, C. E. Archbald was first to right his canoe, giving him the 

 lead which he held to the finish, closely followed by Colin Eraser with 

 Will Fraser third. Immediately after the upset sailing race, while 

 some of the canoeists were still wet, a trip was made to the steam- 

 boat dock to start the hurry scurry, which was admirably adapted 

 for the purpose, the canoeists ba-vmg a good run down the dock and

 paddle around a buoy and back to the dock, finishing with the fpUow-
