sated by a larger general attendance as the result of fixed and reh- 

 able mess and trarisi) rtation, and by the regular attendance of many 

 owing to the added convenience and lessened cost, all camp duffle 

 heing stored on tbe ground, leaving only canoe and clothing to trans- 

 port. Such a plan niigbt be followed on leased ground, and if found 

 to work well the money could easily be raised to purchase a perma- 

 nent camp site. 



Canoe Rigs in America and England. 



The great difference in the rigs of canoes on the two sides of the 

 Atlantic is di^^cus&ed as follows in the Field. The hypothesis ad- 

 vanced to account for the success of the American rig is quite in- 

 genious, but so far as the facts are concerned the Field is in error, 

 all the races at the A. C. A. meets are started to windward, making 

 almost a certainty of one-tbird windward work in every race ; and 

 even in club races every eflEorl, is made to secure a reasonable pro- 

 portion of windward work: 



"There is one marked peculiarity in canoe sailing lo America and 

 Canada which is contrary to the experience and accepted principles 

 of yacht racing; and which, curiouijy also, has been almost exclu- 

 sively proved a failure in English canoe sailing; we allude to the sail 

 area'being formed in two sails of nearly equal area. 



"The latest advices from America inform us that the mizzen, in the 

 majority of racing canoes, is of the same or even of larger area as 

 compared with the mainsail; in fact, the canoes are schooner rigged. 

 Everyone counected with yacht racing knows that for thirty years 

 past schooners and yawls have received in races 'a time allowance 

 for inferiority of rig' from cutters of equal tonnage; schooners be- 

 ing reckoned at three-flfths their tonnage, and yawls at four fifths; 

 ketches and luggers at three fifths, or rhe same as schooners. In 

 England the 'equally divided' sail plan has been tried on canoes, 

 and on good boats too. hut without success. It might be argued that 

 possibly the model and fitment of English canoes was unsnited to the 

 'divided skirt' sail plan; but the answer to that is that we this year 

 had a genuine American canoe (sister boat to the Canuck, the late 

 trophy winner in America) racing in many of the Horal Cai.oe Club 

 matches on Hendon Lake. The water is open and there is no current, 

 and yet this canoe was not near tbe front rank of the big mainsail 

 and small mizzen craft. The big lug forward and minute mizzen aft 

 certainly carried tbe day in al! weathers at Hendon ; but on the other 

 hand the Charm of that same breed went to America and was 

 'waltzPd around' by ail the American front rank a year or two ago, 

 and things have not chaneed since. Sailing times are about thesame, 

 possibly the boats are uglier, but that is doubtful. 



"Anoiber point of curious na'ure clearly demonstrated by this 

 season's racing is thar, though the 'toafter' rig {i. e., where the sails 

 are slung- and set all abaft the mast, and not alongside it, as in the 

 lug rigs) has carried ail before it in America, in England the balance 

 lug has done the trick everywhere so far as reports yet to hand go. 



•'From a scientfic point of view, the "baf tei ' sails should be the per 

 fectrijj; by practice ihey are not. Science suggests, an the other 

 hand, that tbe largest undivided surface of sail area should be the 

 best propeller; practice in England says it is, practice in America 

 says it is not. Apart from • racing and the 'fastest rig,' it would be 

 useful and interesting- i£ those who cruise this autumn would make 

 notes, at the time, of the advantages or defects of the rig they cruise 

 under. A beautiful rig on paper may prove a beast at two miles off 

 the land in Jsquallv weather. 



••The FoHBsT AUD Stream of ,Tuly 14 gives an ioterestine programme 

 and set of ch'^rts of the courses of the American Canoe Association 

 meet for this year, to he held between Aug. 4 and 35. Tbe sailing 

 course therein set out suggests a possible answer to the sail plan 

 paradox before mentioned in relation to schooner rig being the most 

 successful in American racing. 



•'It is generally accepted by seamen that a schooner is second to 

 none at reaching, but she is before none at beating to windward; 

 hence a triangular course, of which two sides may be reaching and 

 one a dead run, should be the promoter of .schooner rig for compe- 

 titors thereon. 



"The Aaierican course is an equilateral triau?le,,with base running 

 north and south; so, if the wind happens to blow a dead fair run 

 down any one ot the three sides, the other two are reaching sides, 

 with the wind about five and a half points on the bow. In such case 

 the schooner rig runs goose-winged on the run, probably level with 

 any other rig, and then has two thirds of the course reaching, with 

 the advantage of superior reaching powers." 



New Tork C. C. Fall Regatta, Sept. 3. 



BENSOJfHUllST— GRAVESBND BAY. 



Tbk New York C. C. has fairly astonished itself since its establish- 

 ment at Bensonhurst last spring, the sailing races which once played 

 such a prominent part having to a certain extent given way to day 

 cruises and such expeditions as that recounted last week in our col- 

 umns. The greatest change, however has been in the matter of re- 

 gattas, the fall regatta of the club having been planned and carried 

 out precisely on the lines suggested in the Eobest and Stream in 

 criticising the unsuccessful regatta of 1891. 



This year the sailing races were entirely omitted, the programme 

 being made up of short but interesting races near the club house, 

 which afforded a great deal of sport to those participating in them, 

 and also amused the many spectators on the balcony and the Ben- 

 sonhurst Pier. 



The summary was as follows: 



•-•addling race, SQOyds.: Won by Von Nordhoff; O'Shea second, 

 Ashby third, Whitloek fourth, Stevens fifth, Mowbry sixth, McKeag 

 sevemh. Ward eighth and Daley last. 



Tandem paddling, 300yds. : Won by Stevens and McKeag, Whit- 

 iQck and Mowbry second, Ashby and Von NordofE capsized at the 



Standing paddling. 150yds.: Won by McKeag. Stevens .second, Lake 

 third, and Whitlock fourth. Mowbry entered but did not finish. 



"Tug-of-war, two boats in each heat and crew of two in each canoe: 

 Daley and Lake won two successive heats over Stevens and McKeag. 



Singles, UDset paddling: Won by Barrmgfcon, Ward second and 

 Stevens third. 



Hurry-scurry, dive, swim and paddle: Won by Whitlock. Barring- 

 ton disqualifled for wrong turn of buoy. 



The fancy diving contest was won by Capt. W hillock, and the long 

 diving by Von Nordhoff. The four ijadoling race did not take place. 

 After the regular races a sailing race was siart^.d between Torment, 

 H. C. Ward, and Kismet, C. J. Stevens; the former winning, Mr. 0. 

 B. Vaux was ofScer of the day.

The remarkable thing about the New York Y. R. A . is that those 

 things which through neglect are usually done badly in a little race 

 of half a dozen yachts, were on this occasion done well in spite of 

 the number of entries. Tbe entry list, printed and sent out some 

 days in advance, contained the official measurement and allowance 

 of every one of the 155 yachts, and the arrangements as to numbers, 

 signals, etc.. were most perfect. The as.soeiation has made use of 

 some good adrice we cffiered several years since, and has rid itself of 

 honorary and ornamental personages in the various cumriiittees, 

 entire management of the regatta being in the hands of three 

 e i. The successful result Is very largely due to the energ->- and 

 -!-.:!l of one. of them, Mr. George E. Gartland, an old hand at this 

 \ >rk, through whose labors everything ran smoothly. 



The New York Y. R. A. is to be eongracuiated on the successful 

 miuagement of one of the largest fleets ever started about New 

 Vork, but at the same time it has not, as some papers state, beate.'i 

 [be record in American yachting, and it will i^robably be some years 

 before it does so. On Aug. 18, 188S, the Beverly Y. U, start.ed a fleet 

 of 173 yachts in one regatta, probably the largest fleet ever started. 



The Annual Cruise of ihe South Boston Y. C. 



.JtibY 16.— The morning was cloudy, but promised a fine day. By 

 11 A. M , starting time, the wind was blowing a good nor'wester. and 

 as it assured a quick run to Marblehead Com. Morrill ordered extra 

 preparations. The yachts started in review at 1 P. M., saluting the 

 flagship Recreation," ,and laii their courses for Marblehead 



Off Marblehead Rock Fleet Capt Dixon hove to and received the 

 salutes of the fleet as they arrived and hove to. awaiting orders. At 

 4:30 the fleet started in squadron for Salem Willows, where they ar- 

 rived about 5:30 at anchorage. 



The Maggie came down under close canvas, to save work, when she 

 •was hauled on the wind i he captain ordered reefs shaken out, but 

 the crew thought it was too much trouble. The way the doughty 

 captain got even with them was t -) leave the wheel and turn in below, 

 and then thev had to work or drift. 



The Recreation was swinging her topsails oft" Pig Rocks, the wind 

 was chunky, and she got a good one. About everything went to lee- 

 ward, but the commodore thought the weather rail about the right 

 place. 



After all was snugged down preparations were made tor dinner and 

 ball. After dinner the fleet was illuminated, all turned to and bright- 

 ened the bay. The display was greatly admired from tbe shore. 



At 1 A. M! all w.as quiet in the fleet, which numbered thirty yachts. 



SaIjKM Willows, Stmday, .Tuly 17.— In the morning many strolled 

 ashore and others visited among the different yachts. At 11:.30 re- 

 ceptioas on board were in order, not only on the flagship and Fleet 

 Cautain Dixon's Pilgrim, but nearly all the yachts received inform- 

 ally. 



About V2 M. Commod'o'-e Morrill took leave of the fleet with much 

 regret. At 12:45 signals on flaaship, "Prepare to get under way." 

 At 1:15 signal read. "The fleet wOl proceed to Gloucester," and at 

 1 .30 nearly all had started, the Eastern fleet as ordered, the balance 

 on their return to City Point, each fleet with a cheery bon voyage to 

 the other. The Eastern fleet ran along ttie Beverly shore out Salem 

 channel and anchored in Gloucester Harbor about 4:30. 



At colors the fleet comprised twelve yachts. Becreatinn, Coronilla, 

 Kitty, White Cloud, Marie, Violet, Maggie, Climax, Quissett, Alber- 

 tina. Awilda, Nilgin. 



At 5:15 the signal from flagship, "Captains report on board" was 

 resptanded to by all and the Vice- Commndore entertained them in 

 his own inimitable ir auner, assisted by Capt. Mclntire with instru- 

 mental mu'^ic. The first racing run to Kittery was discussed and 

 arrangements made. 



Gloucesteb, Monday, July 18.— At sunrise orders from flagship 

 Recreation were, "Proceed and heave to oil Ten Pound Island to 

 westward of flagship, and at gun from her proceed to anchorage olf 

 Indian H'ort Kittery," The racing arrangements and prizes as ar- 

 ranged by the regatta committee. Fijank FERnruAND, 



Vice Com., commanding. 



The fleet was under way at 5:30 and drifted out of the harbor. 

 Coronilla, Kitty and Marie were unable to get into line, and as there 

 was no steamer to assist them they were handicapped at the start. 

 At the gun eight yachts got away w^ell togetner and a light S. W. 

 wind helped them around Eastern Point in the followi'.g order: Mag- 

 gie, Climax. Quissett, Violet, Recreation, Awddn, White Cloud, Al- 

 bertina, Marie The Nilgiri wii hdrew from the fl^et on this run. 



The wind held well into Ipswich Bay, when it lightened somewhat 

 and hauled westerly, increasing oft" Isle of Shoals to fine sailing 

 breeze. Violet arrived first at 1:05, The features of the run were: 

 Violet, fast time; Maggi'J, good work short handed; Awilda's true 

 course; the snap Recreation had with her class, and tbe splendid 

 race between Cflmax and Quissett. which boats were not half a mile 

 apart at any time, and the last eight miles in a spanking breeze, with 

 all their maneuvering and light sail work, held each other within a 

 few seconds. 



The afternoon was pleasantly spent. Vice-Corn. Ferdinand took 

 temporary leave of fleet at 4, ' investing Capt. H. F. Mclmire with 

 command as vice-corn, pro tem. The evening was calm and manv 

 yachts added to the natui-al beauty of the scene by illura inations and 

 fireworks. 



Capt. Bi.iab's Awilda was the Electra of the fleet. 



Order.- at 8:30 P. M. Flagship Recreation. Sailing orders for July 

 19, S. B. Y. C. Fleet cruising. "At colors, heave .-short. At 8:15 a 

 second gun will be flred, when the fleet will run direct to anchorage 

 oft' Portland Y. C — H. F. McIhtire. Acting Vice-Com , commanding; 

 Wsf. Allerton, Acting Secrdtary." 



During the night Maggie and Coromlla had a luffing match at an- 

 chor in the tide. The judges on the other bo,ats were unable to decide 

 which had the better of it there were so many fouls claimed. 



KiTTERT, Tuesday, Jtdy 19.— Fleet started at 8:15 for Portland and 

 drifted out of the harbor with the tide; wheu off VVhale's Back a 

 light southerly wind helped them along. At 10:30 wind settled down 

 to a good bree:?e from S. by W., and the fleet ran down the coast well 

 togetner, all swinging spinakers and light sails. It was a beautiful 

 dav and a splendid ruji. 



he features of the run were the fast time of Violet and Climax, 

 and Quissett and Awilda's good work with light sails after they 

 rounded the Sisters all the way into Portland. The yachts all made 

 anchorage before coiors, and as they rounded up and saluted each 

 ^as answered from tbe Portland Y. U. house. It must have made 

 lively work at their gun, but they were equal to the occasion. The 

 evening was lovely, acd again our "Electra" brightened the anchor- 

 age with her displav. 



Portland, Wednesday, July 20.— This day begins with weather as 

 bright as usual. Vice Com. Ferdinand resumed command at 10. 

 Orders from flagship; "Report at this anchorage at colors:" and 

 the most of tbe fleet lay quietly all day eD,ioying a little rest and 

 tripsin parties ashore ana down the harbor in the afternoon. All 

 were well received everywhere, but particularly at the Portland Y.C. 

 "rheir hospitality gave us to understand that we owned the house, 

 and each member helped us to enjoy its privileges. 



A meeting of captauis was called on board the flagship in the even- 

 ing as UBual- 



PoBTLANU, Thursday, July •21.— The sunrise was clear and beauti- 

 ful, even in the inner harbor. The fleet was undervvay at 5:80 and 

 passing between Hog and Peake's islands on ihe inside course to 

 Harpswell, among the islands of: Casco Bay. This day's sail to the 

 fleet was a poem. AU the camps and yachts passed were saluted and 

 they responded heartily. Oft' Pumpkin Island the fleet hove to, 

 awaiting orders from the flagship, and Capt. McKee gave us the 

 Canadian boat song, and dog Chowder did the dress parade on the 

 bowsprit. When the fleet was all together orders to proceed were 

 given, and all squared away. From the point oft' Great Chebeague, 

 Mount Washington, was in full view. Off the east end of the island 

 the fleet again hove to, as something was the matter on board the 

 flagship. It was discovered that the commodore and Mac were run- 

 ning the ship in their own quiet way, keeping the main sheet oft" 

 when on the wind to save work when she was squared away again, 

 and shaking a leg of dice to see who would draw away the jib sheet. 



Yacht White Cloud, Capt. H. H. Smith, took leave oft" Eagle island, 

 and gave three cheers for the South Boston Y. C,,and three more 

 for Vice-(;om. Fei'dinand, which was acknowledged by the emm- 

 modore and responded to by all the fleet. 



The yacht MiUy, of the Portland Y. C, here joined, and the fleet 

 made merry for her. 



Ran into Potts Harbor at 10:30, and made the old rocks ri igwith 

 guns and cheers, and the natives on the wharf helped us, especially 

 with three cheers for the vice-commodore by the fleet. 



Violet here took her leave for Rockland with cheers full and hearty 

 (as only Capt. McKee and his jolly crew can give) for club and com 

 modori', and again the fleet responded to a man. 



At 11 signal "Captains report on board" and orders to lay at anchor 

 here until further orders v. ere issued. 



It was remarkable how quickly the worthy captains read the signal 

 "Captains report on board" whenever hoisted, ordinary club mem- 

 bers (and seamen) were beginning to recognize it and also the fact 

 that they w ere not in it. 



Potts B ARBOR, July 21.— After all had dined, some at the Merri- 

 coneag Hotel, others on board, Vice-Com. Ferdinand arranged a 

 drive up country, and it was a jwlly party that filled two large teams. 

 We had fog horns a la Tally ho, and the bell of the TJ. 3. Mail dis- 

 covered under the seat. If the Commodore's cannon had only been 

 lashed on behind with the windlass brake to work it, the natives of 

 Barpswell would have experiencad a second Fourth of July. As it 

 was, about all of the inhabitants came out to welcome us. At one 

 house all of our exertions failed, and it was only after giving it up 

 that it was found to bo vacant. Near the road, which was very dusty, 

 a pump was discovered; the Vice Commodore suggested that th" 

 Governor of North Carolina owned it— it was soon surrounded. Tnis 

 was the chance our camera captain was waiting for— he considered 

 it a rare snap on tbe S. B. Y. C. 



Tiife mystery of the Vice-Commodore's satchel was soon after re- 

 vealed, but h« nearly poisoned the party in one carnage by serving 

 them something quite strong in a mild looking bottle. 



We stopped at a country house near a little cove called the Look- 

 out. Here a pleasant hour was spent and our camera Captain again 

 asked all hands to look pleasant. Bos'u M, ex-Capt.ain and lat.e Com- 

 modore pro tern here piped the line andall marched upon the pails of 

 milk which tlie Vice Commodore had caustd to appear. Well, the 

 cows looked discouraged as we passed them on our return. On the 

 way back we had songs by talent brought to light by JoUy company, 

 and arrived safely at the anchorage in good time. 



At colors orders to illuminate the fleet, and in tbe eveulug a dance 

 was given ashore for our benefit, and a?; tilt Isdie.s have usvtr been 

 neglected during the cruise. airlLD-.tgU sel'iorn mentioned in this 

 report, it was well attended. 



Potts IIab,bor, Friday, July 23.— Signals at colors to disband fleet, 

 and each yacht saluted the flagship as thny stood out of h rbor for 

 their different destinations, thus ending the cruise in squadron in the 

 same beautiful weather that has made its entire coui-fsi- one I ijng to 

 be remembered, and separating for a time the .lolly good fellowship 

 cemented anew bv one of the best cruises ever sailed eastward. 

 Apropos of this last signal, the ordinary club raemtier (and seaman) 

 unkindly remarked that the reason must have been that the ten days' 

 supplies of the "cap' ains will report on board" must have been ex- 

 hau.sted on the flagship, which of course was dangerous down on the 

 coast of Maine. 



Respectfully submitted to the officers and members of the South 

 Boston Y. O. Wm. Allbrtun, Acting Secretary, 



Cleveland Y. C, Aug. 16-1'?. 



CLEYKLAND; OHIO.— LAKE ERIE. 



The Cleveland Y. C, one of the leading clubs west of Niagara, has 

 recently held a very successful regatta, lasting for two days, at 

 which the best yachts of LaHe Erie were present Tbe regatta was 

 planned and the arrangements carried out by Cora. Gardner, the 

 veteran yachtsman -of the Lakes and the leader in yachting and 

 canoeing, assisted by the memoers ot the Cleveland Y. O. A triangu- 

 lar course, with six mile sides, was buoyed out on tne lake abreast of 

 the city, the yacht Say When was tendered by her owner for the use 

 of the officials, and the following gentlemen were appointed to attend 

 to aU arrangements: Judges, C. B. Lockwood. ot Sandusky : Com. 

 Joseph Nicholson, of Detroit, and J. de Zeilinski, of Buft'alo. Time 

 keepers, W. J. Akers, W. J. White and Col. Geo. H. Worthington. 

 Regatta committee, Messrs. Phil. P. Wright, W. R. Huntington, 

 Edward Overbeke, Charles W. Kelly, Herman Lyinan and Henry 

 Gerlach. 



In answer to the invitations yachts and yachtsmen from Detroit, 

 Toledo an 1 less distant parts of the Lake came in to Cli^veland by 

 the evening of Aug. 16 to And a hearty welc-ame awaiting them. An 

 informal meeting was held at the Forest City House, at which the 

 details of the programme were explained to the visitors, and ihey 

 were asked to give suggestions or to make such criticisms as might 

 occur to them. The pr gramme called lor races on Aug. 1(5 for 

 Class D, 25 to 32Ft. sailing length, by the SeJv;anhaUa ride; and Class 

 E, 2oft. and under; and on the following day for Class B, over 40ft., 

 and Class C, 33 to 40ft., besides the naphtha launches and canoes. 

 The principal entries were: Ida K , C. H. Krauss; Carmencita, G. 

 T. Bliss; West Wind, F. L. Bennett; Alice Enrigbt, Arthur Petife;-

Tuesday was clear and warm, but with a light N.E. breeze. The 

 start of Class D was made at 30:31, and for Class E at 10:10, the 

 course for each class being!! miles to windwajd and return. 



Louise led over the course, but in the lignt air she was oeaten by 

 two of the smaher class starting later. The fuU times were:

 time of the start. The aUowances were under the Isherwood table. 

 The first attempt to start the launches was spoded by bad conduct of 

 some men in a sailboat, w^ho refu-<ed to remove her irom the starting 

 line at the request of tlie committee. 



The wind sprung up about noon, and at 1218:80 Class B was sent 

 away, the following yachts crossing the line: Merle, of Buft'alo, F. B.

In the evening a banquet was tendered bv the Cleveland Y. C. to 

 the visiting yachtsmen , The regatta was a great success in afl ways, 

 and the meeting of yachtsmen from all parts of the lake is likely to 

 do much to promote the work now in hand, of establishing a strong 

 permanent org.anization composed of all the clubs on Lake Erie and
