The Cup Defenders. 



The second trial trip of a Cup defender took place on July 1 off 

 Bristol, the new Vigilant being under way for the first time, with 

 Com. Morgan. Mr. Iselin, Mr. N. G. Herreshoff, Capt. Hansen and her 

 crew on board. The centerboard was not shipped, but will go in this 

 week. In company with the schooner Lasca and the steam yacht 

 Ituna she beat down to Fort Adams in a moderate breeze and ran 

 back. The trip, so far as it went, was very satisfactory, the yacht 

 giving good promise of power and the sails sitting well for new" ones. 



Colonia is about finished, but has not yet left Bristol. Through a 

 succession of delays Pilgrim was not floated from the dock until June 

 39, when she was towed to City Island, where the tug R. C, Veit took 

 her hawser and started for Boston, Mr, Stewart and Capt. Sherlock 

 being on board the yacht with the mate and two hands. She had a 

 successful trip around Cape Cod and reached Boston on Saturday. 

 The work of fitting out wifi be hurried as much as possible, and the 

 trial trip wUI take place next week. 



The third out of the four boats was the Paine fin-keel Jubilee, who 

 made her first trip on Saturday, though in an incomplete condition, 

 her headsails being old ones belonging to Volunteer, while her new 

 blocks with aluminum sheaves in the wooden ones and the metal ones 

 entirely of aluminum, were not ready. She was towed out of the 

 harbor and sailed to Marblehead, and was also under sail on Sunday 

 and Monday. The centerboard was not used, the winch not being 

 ready. From all accounts the initial performance of the yacht is fully 

 up to expectations. 



Ijarclimont Y. C. Annual Regatta. 



larchmont — long island sound. 

 Tuesday, July U. 



After the general failure of all the spring regattas from bad 

 weather or from lack of entries, it was a pleasant surprise for all con- 

 cerned to find a large fleet at anchor and a fine N.W. breeze blowing at 

 Larchmont on Tuesday. Out of seventy entries over fifty yachts 

 started, and with the visiting yachts of the PhUadelphia Corinthian, 

 the Brooklyn and the New Haven clubs there was at least as many 

 more under sail, while a large fleet of steam yachts, all gaily decor- 

 ated, accompanied the race. 



The new yachts were out in goodly number, Emeaald, Loyal, Dag- 

 mar (nee Titania), the two Gary Smith schooners, Elsie Marie and 

 Ariel, the new Stewart and Binney schooner Serkara, a small but 

 stylish craft, the new yawl Audax and the EUsworth cat Mary. 



The usual club courses were sailed for classes A, B, C and 3, from 

 Larchmont around stakeboat in Hempstead Harbor, around stake- 

 boat anchored off Stamford Harbor Lighthouse, around stakeboat in 

 Hempstead Harbor again, and across the line at Larchmont; 37 nau- 

 tical miles. 



For classes D, E, 5,6, 7, 8 and 9, around the Hempstead mark, thence 

 around a stakeboat anchored ofl" Captain's Island Lighthouse, around 

 the Hempstead mark and home; 20 nautical miles. 



For classes 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, from Larchmont around red spar 

 buoj' on Scotch Caps' Beef around the Hempstead mark, around red 

 spar buoy on Scotch Caps' Reef and across finish line; 10 nautical 

 miles. 



For classes 10 and 11, from Larchmont around the Hempstead mark, 

 around black spar buoy off Matmicock Point, around the Hempstead 

 mark and across flniahliiie; 13 nautical miles. 



The flrst leg, to Hempstead-, was almost free, spinakers being car- 

 ried; to the Stamford mark was a reach out and back, and to Captain's 

 Island was a close reach out with sheets eased on the return to Hemp- 

 stead, the last short leg home being to windward. 



The race was started at 11:35 for the larger classes, Emerald leading 

 over the line, followed by Elsie Maire. Spinakers and balloon jibtop- 

 sails were set, the fleet making a pretty picture, with smooth water, a 

 clear blue sky, and the white sails against the green background of 

 Long Island and the New York shore. Dauntless. Ramona and Brun- 

 hilde were classed together. The old Atlantic and the new Elsemaire 

 were in the next class. Lasca and Dagraar failed to s1;art leaving Em- 

 erald and Alcasa in the next class. The smaller schooners were Via- 

 tor, Azalea, Triton and Serkara, Loyal being ;under way but not start- 

 ing. Katrina and Hm-on sailed together, "Wasp> was alone in her class, 

 and the Fife 43-footer Uvira was matched against Mocassin, Choctaw 

 not starting. 



The leaders were timed at Hempstead: 



Emerald 12 03 30 Viator 12 06 40 



Azalea 12 00 00 Serkara 13 08 50 



Dauntless 12 08 01 Ramona 13 06 53 



Brunhilde IS 06 02 Atlantic 13 07 10 



Alcaea 12 06 80 Triton 13 08 35 



Elsie Mai-ie 13 06 35 



The little Azalea had made rather a late stai't, but had made it very 

 smartly, and was second at the mark, Mr. Alley, who sailed her, mak- 

 ing a verj^ neat turn inside of the larger boats. As her foreboom went 

 over it struck Mr. Fisher, one of hei- Corinthian crew, as he was at 

 work on the cabin trunk, and threw him into the sail and thence into 

 the drink. Seeing that he had been struck by the boom and that he 

 did not rise quickly, the yacht's steward bravely jumped after him, 

 and the two soon came up astern. With the fleet crowding down for 

 the mark it was impossible to put about for them, and as botli wrere 

 good swimmers it was unnecessary, Mr. Fisher striking out for the 

 markboat, disregarding the buoy thrown to him, and the steward 

 swimming for the bobstay of Alctea and climbing on board that yacht. 



Azalea went on, setting a balloon jibtopsail, which was too much 

 for her and pulled her head off bef oi-e it could betaken in,whUe Viator, 

 at once luffed out and took a good weather berth for the Captains 

 Island mark. The wind ^vas no wquite fresh and the big schooners 

 were having a good race for the Stamford mark, though Dauntless 

 and Ramona needed more wind. Emerald was sailing well and gain- 

 ing slightly on Alcsea, and Atlantic caught and passed Elsemarie. The 

 times at Stamford were approximately: 



Emerald I 06 00 Brunhilde I 10^5 



Dauntless 1 01) 00 Atlantic 1 19 00 



Ramona 1 09 40 Elsie Marie 1 32 80 



Alc^a 1 10 00 



With the breeze to her liking Viator was leading her class. Azalea 

 being on hei- lee beam, both cai-rying baby jibtopsails. When a couple 

 of miles from Captain's Island Azalea lost the end of her bowsprit 

 and was forced to withdraw. 



The times at Captain's Island were approximately: 



Viator 13 .55 00 Serkara 1 01 30 



Triton 1 01 30 



The race home made a fine sight, as the various divisions of the fleet 

 came together for the Hempstead mark, the little Pyxie beside the big 

 schooners. Viator did good work, especially on the windward leg 

 across, and was first to finish. The f uU times wei-e;

Mr. Percy Chubb, owner of <jueen Mab, has despatched the large 

 tug E. V. McCauley to Bermuda to bring up the disabled Queen Mab.

 few days. She will come to New York and refit at once for the 

 August cruise. Tlie Bermuda I'luzette pubhshes an absurd story of 

 the'yacht capsizing, as follcvs: ■'J\me 35, Capt. Schlosshauser, of the 

 British yacht Queen Mal;i (on a voyage from Cowes, Isle of AVight, 

 bound to New Yorkj, reports having left Cowes on May 33, had favor- 

 able weather up to the 19th inst. ; on that date the bilronieter fell to 

 28.60; made every thing snng as possiWe on board. Abo\it 4 A. M. on 

 the 20th inst., in latitude 39° north, longitude 60" 35' west, the fufi 

 force of the hurricane struck us ; we managed to weather it out pretty 

 well. After the hmTicane had passed we had a tremendous sea to 

 contend with. I had given an order to the mate and went below, 1 

 could not have been below more than a minut« when I felt the vessel 

 turn completely over and it seemed to me that she remained in that 

 position for about three minutes and then righted herself again. Dur- 

 ing this time the crew were washed completely away from the vessel, 

 but managed to get hold of some of the spars and sails that were tow- 

 ing astern, and when the vessel righted herseff succeeded in getting 

 on board again, with the exception of one poor fellow, who was never 

 seen again after the vessel was thrown down. After clearing the 

 wreck decided to run for Bermuda; made the light on the .34th mst., 

 and was boarded by Pilot Smith, who anchored the vessel in Five 

 Fathom Hole, and on Simday morning, the 3ath inst., was towed into 

 St. George's by the tug Britannia."
