Hempstead Harbor Club Annual Regatta. 



GLEN COVE, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 



Saturday, July 15. 

 The annual open regatta of the Hempstead Harbor Club was sailed 

 on July 15, in a strong southerly wind, and though many of the en- 

 tries did not start a good fleet turned out, and the race was a success. 

 The cabin boats sailed under the Seawanhaka rule and the open boats 

 under a measurement of length plus i^g overhang. LTnlimited crews 

 and shifting ballasts were allowed as usual in the open boats. The 

 courses were: 



FOR ALL BOATS OVER 18fT. 



Starting across a line drawn between two stake boats anchored off 

 the club house, thence around spar buoy on easterly end of Execution 

 Reef, leaving same on starboard hand: thence around spar buoy ofl" 

 Matinicock Point, leaving same on starboard hand; thence across 

 flnish line off club house, 12 miles. 



FOR ALL BOATS 18fT. AND UNDM. 



From starting line around spar buoy on easterly end of Execution 

 Reef, leaving same on starboard hand; thence across finishing line off 

 club house, 7 miles. 



The strong wind brought a number of boats to gi-ief ; Lohengrin 



capsized and Concho withdrew to help her> Giggle parted her halliards 

 and withdrew, and Tom Cod lost her rudder but was steered to a 

 flnish by an oar. The Clapham boat Chippewa made the best time, 

 beating the fleet very easily. The ofQcial times were:

Sippican Y. C. First Championship Race. 



MARION— BUZZARDS BAY. 



Saturday July 15. 



The first championship race of the Sippican Y. C. was sailed at 

 Marion on July 15, in a strong W. S. W. breeze. There were entries in 

 only the flrst, second and third catboat classes. All the boats started 

 reefed. In the second class Gymnote gained from the start and Ven- 

 ture soon withdrew, leaving her to finish the course alone. 



The best race was in the third class. Tycoon had a good lead at the 

 end of the flrst leg to windw'ard, and Doris was well up with Nobsca, 

 but running home Nobsca outran the fleet and won handily. Buzzard 

 did not seem to understand that the starting time was taken from the 

 gun and started three minutes late. With a good start she would have 

 beaten Puzzle. 



In the fourth class Cat and Edith did not have full crews and Squall 

 had things all her own way. When Edith was about half way on the 

 second round, one of her crew lost his hat, and she withdrew to re- 

 cover it. Then she was about six minutes behind Squall and two min- 

 utes ahead of Cat. The scores were:

White Ladye. 



Mr. Ogden Goelet, for some years owner of the schooner yacht 

 Norseman, has chartered for a period of five months, with privilege 

 of purchase, the steam yacht White Ladye, owned for the past year 

 by Mrs. Langtry, and the yacht is now in this country. Mr. 

 Goelet has already had her under charter during the spring in the 

 Mediterranean. 



The Ladye Mabel, as she was originally named, was designed by W. 

 C. Storey of London and buUt hy Ramage & Ferguson of Leith, where 

 she was launched on Jan. 12, 1891. The owner was Lord Ashburton. 

 The hull is of steel, with five bulkheads, the scantling exceeding the 

 requirements of Lloyds, and extra strength being provided, as the 

 yacht was intended for long voyages. She is 204ft. extreme length, 

 27ft. 2in. beam, and 16.45ft. depth of hold. Her engines are triple com- 

 pound, 18, 27% and 47x33in., and she has one very large single ended 

 steel boiler with four furnaces, the working pressure being 160]bs. 

 The rig is that of a three-masted schooner, with pole masts. Her ton- 

 nage is 693, Thames measurement. There is one large deck house, and 

 forward the yacht is elaborately fitted up with the usual saloons and 

 staterooms, while in addition to the olScers' and crews' quarters aft 

 are other staterooms, the bachelors' quarters. The yacht is fitted with 

 every modern appliance, electric lights, steam steering gear and cap- 

 stans, ventilating fans, hot water pipes, etc. She was purchased by 

 Mrs. Langtry last year and made a trip to the Mediterranean last 

 winter, putting into Lisbon after some severe handling by the sea in 

 the Bay of Biscay. 



Cypress Planking. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



We have noticed an article in Forest and Stream of July 33 in re- 

 gard to cypress planking as follows: "The planking under water is 

 all of cypress and there are no known instances where this wood has 

 been used before for outside planking." The writer of that article is 

 mistaken for we have built from 150 to 200 boats planked with cypress, 

 the boats ranging from 34 to 88ft. in length, requiring about 500ft. to 

 each boat. Higgins <£ Gifford.

American Model Y. C, Pfeiflfer Cup. 



BROOKLYN— prospect PARK, 



Saturday, July 22. 

 The third leg for the Pfeiffer Cup was sailed on Saturday, only two 

 yachts starting. Great credit is due the owner of Marguerite in keep- 

 ing up the interest and fighting Neola for the trophy, which is with- 

 out doubt, worth fighting for, and it would be more to the credit of 

 the owners of the other first class yachts, who are content to watch 

 the contest between these two crack boats, if they would enter their 

 yachts and thereby greatly increase the interest in model yachting.
