Beverly Y. C. 



The 199th regatta, third open sweepstakes, wa.s sailed July 22, at 

 Monument Beach in a strong two-reef S.W, wind. 



In second class Gymnote started off with the lead and held it. At 

 ■windward mark Anonyma broke her boom in gybing, but kept on. All 

 but Gymnote shook out reefs and Mist tore her sail so badly that she 

 ■withdrew. Lestris parted mainsheet. Gymnote, with a long lead, 

 took things easy and did not shake out reefs. This proved a mistake, 

 as the difference in the time of start and allowance gave prize to Ulula, 

 subject to GjTnnote's protest on her measurement. 



In third class Gilt Edge was dismasted soon after start, but the 

 other three made a very pretty race; Doris started 62s. ahead of 

 Nobska and gained a little in windward work, but lost running home, 

 completing first round ■n ith a lead of 45s. In beating back to Pines 

 she lengthened her lead to 80s., but in the 1J4 mile run home Kobska 

 reduced this to 83s. and won. 



Nobska cannot point anywhere near the other boats, but reaches 

 through the water faster than any 20-f ooter ever seen in the bay.

 frey, W. Lloyd Jeffries. 



The x>i"Otests have been decided as follows: The buoy being the 

 tnark named In printed cruise, and only a portion of the boats told of 

 the intended substitution of stakeboat for buoy, remains the mark, 

 and prizes are awarded to Gymnote, Anonyma and Agawam in second 

 class, Doris, Gilt Edge and Puzzle in third class, Nobska being ruled 

 out. boris's second protest is disallowed. As, however, Nobska 

 Jvent roUnd boat by order of regatta committeeman in charge, sailed 

 lohger course and came home first, and is ruled out for an error of the 

 club and no fault of her own, a special prize of equal value with first 

 prize is awarded her. For similar reasons Anonyma's prize is made 

 equal with first prlzOj as it is possible the extra distance may have lost 

 her the race. W.L.J.

A very good start was made, the Wraith and Albatross getting 

 away ■well ahead of the bunch. On the first leg of the course the race 

 was lost and won, and the winner has to ttiank the weather as when 

 5 miles of the first leg was over the Wraith was leaving the Yankee 

 Maid 2 miles or so. For a long pace Wraith and Albatross stood to- 

 gether. At last they split tacks, the Wraith going out after S.W. wind 

 ■svhile Albatross and Yankee Maid stood in shore after the N.W., 

 which prevailed in the air. The yachts rounded the first mark as 

 follows: Yankee Maid, Albatross, Wraith. Snipe had carried away 

 her jib and Hornet her peak halliards, and both had withdrawn. 

 Balloon jibs were set and carried till the yachts rounded 3Iis©ry 

 Island when spinnakers were set to port. 



Albatross protests Yankee Maid for not rounding Marblehead rock, 

 decision has not yet been given but race will probably be resailed.

Eastern Y. C. 



On Aug. 28 the Eastern Y. C. proposes to hold at Marblehead a 

 special race for schooners of the first class Cover 75ft. l.w.l.) for a 

 handsome cup, to be called the Weld cup, given in memory of the late 

 commodore, by Mrs. Wm. F. Weld. Four yachts must start to make 

 a race. 



At the same time, there will be prizes for second class schooners, 

 and for all classes of sloops, where three or more start; the amounts 

 and classes, with other details, to be fixexi at an early day. 



The committee hopes to have a large list of entries in all classes, and 

 especially the first class schooners, in recognition of the liberality of 

 the gift. 



On Sept. 2, the fleet will probably rendezvous at Marblehead for the 

 annual cruise, and sail to the westward. 



A Prize for Model Yachts. 



Editor Forest and Stream; 



I am very much interested in model, or miniature, yachts and their 

 racing, as much can be learned from the little fellows that is of use 

 in designing larger craft. That hns been my experience, at any rate. 

 I wanted very much to see the regatta of the American Model Y. 0. 

 that was sailed on Prospect Park Lake on Decoration Day, but 

 another engagement prevented, and now I would like to make "a pro- 

 position to this club, if possible, to arrange another race. I have had 

 about nine years' experience building and modeling boats, and lately 

 have made several mmiature yachts, all fast. My last one, some 48in. 

 long on deck, made a %-mile run in a stiff wind and high sea in a little 

 less than 10m., close hauled. I would hke to offer to the American 

 Model Y, C. as a prize, to be sailed for some time during the month 

 of August, a miniature yacht 59in. long on deck; the model will be 

 fully rigged as a sloop, and to be finished very finely with bright deck 

 and mahogany trimmings. I huild my models from fines, and frame 

 and plank them the same as a large boat is built, using bent oak for 

 frames and i4in. cedar for planking, screws being used for all fasten- 

 ings. The . shape of boat is on the same principle as Bouncer or 

 Chippewa, but with round bilges, and more nearly resembles the fin- 

 keel boats, which are on much the same idea. I will guarantee that 

 the boat will be a good one in every way, in fact, as good as I can 

 buUd so far as work goes; I offer a boat I would not duplicate for 

 $60. I would fike to see an inter-club race sailed at Prospect Park, 

 with representative boats from some of the othex model yacht clubs 

 invited and competing, and should think it could be arranged.

YACHT NEWS NOTES. 



A handsome naphtha launch belonging to C. H. Moss, a member of the 

 Stock Exchange and a re.sident of Perth Am boy. N. J., disappeared 

 on Wednesday night from her moorings at the Perth Amboy Y. C. 

 Mr. Moss informed Inspector McLaughlin of his loss, and Deteclive 

 Sergeants Hanley and Wade were sent out to look for the boat. After 

 investigation along the river front, they got a clew from James 

 Fleming, dock master at the foot of East Fiftieth street. Mi-. Fleming 

 was haned on Thursday by a man in a 'auneh, who wanted to sell the 

 boat. The man said it was a deserted launch which he had found 

 drifting, and he would like to sell it for S250. Seeing at once that the 

 boat was worth much more, Fleming accepted the offer, giving the 

 man a S2 bill to bind the bargain. On learning this, the ofiicers ex- 

 plored the river near there and found the launch tied up to the school 

 ship St. Mary's, olT the foot of East Fiftieth street. Asleep in the 

 stern was the young man. When arrested he described himself as 

 .Tames Morris, 31 years old, of Newark. He said at first that he had 

 owned the yacht for two years, but afterward broke down and ad- 

 mitted that he had stolen it from Perth Amboy and had been cruising 

 about in solitary grandeur since then. At Jefferson Market Court 

 yesterday he was remanded. The launch is valued at $1,000.— A'; Y. 

 Sun, July 10. 



The annual regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. C on July '39 will be 

 open to yachts of the following clubs; New York, L.arclm'iont, Atlan- 

 ■tic, Seawanhaka Corinthian. American (of Rye). Coi-iuthian (of New 

 York), New Rochelle, New Haven, Riverside," Field and Marine, Stam- 

 ford, Douglaston. Knickerbocker, Hempstead Harbor, Sen Cliff, 

 Horseshoe Harbor, Corinthian Mosquito E'leet, Stateu Island, Cedar 

 Point, Bridgeport Boating Association and the clubs o£ the New York 

 Yacht Racing Association. It will be sailed in accordance with ths 

 racing rules of the Indiaji Harbor Y. C. under the direction of the re- 

 gatta committee. The yacht.s will be classed by waterlioe length, the 

 cabin yachts being measured by the Seawanhaka rule, and the open 

 boats sailing on l.w.l. plus one-third overhang. The start will be made 

 at 11 A.M. off Little Captain's Island. The regatta coramitcee in- 



cludes Frederic S. Doremus (chairman, 20 Nassau street. New York), 

 Frank Bowne Jones, Richard Cutwater. The Steamer Crystal Stream 

 has been chartered for the use of the club members and their guests, 

 and wiU leave from pier foot of East Thirty-first street, New York, at 

 7:30 A. M. on the morning of the regatta. The steamer will land at 

 the steamboat dock, Greenwich, at 10:15, and the Indian Harbor Hotel 

 dock at 10:30, and will accompany the yachts over the course, return- 

 ing to New York after the race. ' 



Lloyd's Yacht Register for 1893 has just been received in New York, 

 and is the same useful volume as usual. The list of yachts contains 

 the names and particulars of 6,817 vessels, of which 3,417 are owned in 

 Great Britain and 293 more in British colonies. Of the first number 

 2,603 are sailing vessels and 814 steam. The total tonnage of the sail- 

 ing vessels however is but 59,642 tons, while the steamers show a total 

 of 85,413 tons. The fist shows quite a large number of yachts built 

 this year in Great Britain, though many of them are of small size. 

 The book is compiled -with the usual care and the various tables are 

 very well arranged. The rules for building are published in a 

 separate smaller volxmae. The number of names of American owners 

 among the permanent subscribers shows the estimation in which the 

 register is held here. It is issued under the supervision of A. G. 

 Drydurst, the secretary of the society, and Mr. Thos. Congdon, of 

 No. 1 Whitehall street. New York, is still the principal surveyor for 

 the United States, and the New York agent of the society. 



The Morgan boat shop at Noank has turned out to the last stage of 

 completion two lobster boats that are a novelty in their way and em- 

 brace some very clever ideas. The boats, named respectively Bo Peep 

 and Mizpah, look like the ordinary .30ft. jib and mainsail lobstermen 

 that sail from that place in pursuit of the palate-tickling shellfish, but 

 differ from them in the fact that they have a little boiler and engine in 

 the cabin attached to a screw. Smokestacks would be in the way, so 

 the mast is made of steel and hollow, and through that the smoke from 

 the fire finds its way up some 25ft. to the open air. Any one who has 

 tried knows that pulling lobster pots by hand is pretty hard work. 

 So the crew of this craft just connect the line attached to the pot to 

 the engine, then it is simply press the butt-on. the screw does the rest, 

 until about two miles of line come up and finally the ensnared lobsters. 

 The boats promise to be a big success. — New London Day. 



At the dinner of the Imperial Yacht Club in Kiel on .July 9, Emperor 

 WiUiam announced his intention to found a Hohenzollern prize to be 

 awarded annually at the club's regatta. The conditions of entry will 

 be that every competing yacht shall be built within the year since the 

 last race in a German shipyard from German materials and after Ger- 

 man designs. Accoring to the size of the victorious yacht, the prize 

 would be 4,000, 3,000 or 3,500 marks. The Emperor has already founded 

 a Meteor Goblet prize for an annual race ijetween Kiel and Trave- 

 muende. The competitors will be yachts of the first and second 

 classes. The owner of a first or second class yacht can become o^vvner 

 of the goblet by winning three of these races. The two prizes take 

 their names from the imperial yacht HohenzoUern and the Emperor's 

 racing yacht Meteor. 



The Royal Canadian Y. C. sailed a race on July 15 for its skiff class,

Far up in the northwestern corner of the United States, in Port 

 Townsend, Washington, a yacht club has just been organized by the 

 name of the Key City Y C. The club starts with 00 members, the 

 ofiicers being: Commodore, John Barneson; Vice-Commodore, Frank 

 Perrott; Rear Commodore, P. A. Bartlett; Fleet Surgeon, C. M. Bald- 

 win; Measurer, C. .J. Leighton; President, .J. B. Libby; Vice Presi- 

 dent, B. A. Burnett; Secretary, J. W. Jones; Treasurer, A. G. PhiUips. 

 The Regatta Committee includes K, T. Mayo, F. L. Macondray and J. 

 R. Mason The club will hold races throughout the season. 



The new Fife20-rater Zioita, which from all accounts was intended 

 for a fast cruiser rather than an out and out racer, is showing good 

 speed and is likely to take a foremost place in the 20 rating class. 

 Another new 20 is just completed, the Lady Honor, designed by C. E. 

 Nicholson for Lord Dudley and described as a bread tray. Mr. Nichol- 

 son has been very successful in the smaUer classes, making quite a 

 hit last year in the 5-rater Dacia, but the new boat is his first ven- 

 ture in the larger classes. 



Yampa, schr., is now , under charter to Wm. C. Whitney, of New 

 York. 



The ICnickerbocker Y. C. saOed a special race on July 15 for the 

 cabm cats of Class F which did not finish in the June regatta. The 

 wind was fresh from S.W. The times were:

H. J. Gielow has completed the d'^signs for a cruising 25-footer for 

 Rev. Lindsay Parker, of St Peter's Church, Brooldyn. She will be 

 36ft. Gin. over all, 24ft. 8in. l.w.l., lift. 6in. beam, 10ft. 3in. beam at 

 l.w.l. and 3ft. Sin. draft. The interior will give a good deal of room, 

 being carefuUy arranged. 



Mr. Edgar Scott, of the steam yacht Sagamore, has purchased of 

 Summers & Pajme a handsome new half-rater designed by Arthur E. 

 Payne and just completed. The boat will hang at the davits of the 

 steam j'achc and be used for .sailing and racing. 



Mr. F. W. Fliut, of Larchmont Y. C, has given a cup costing $100 

 for cabin caiboats of 25ft. l.w.l. and under, with a second price of $50 

 if five start, the race to be sailed off Larchmont on July 29. 



Wild Duck, steam yacht, J. M. Forbes, has returned to Boston from 

 her cruise to (;^'hicago. The trip occupied nineteen days, and two weeks 

 were spent at the Fair. 



Whitewings, sip., of Toronto, was partly stove in while entering the 

 Tuscarora River on July 4, and is now at Buffalo for repairs. 



Deshee, sip., has been chartered through Hughes's Agency to Edwin

This is a world of trouble and sorrow, and now it is the editor's 

 turn; he has again come within range of Mr. Vaux's sarcastic pen. 

 Mr. "Vaux's opinions as to the infalhbility of the A. C. A. ofiicers are 

 well known to our readers; but as regards the facts which he men- 

 tions in support of them we must differ with him, having been pres- 

 ent at the early meets at Lake George. Through the earnest efforts 

 of Mx. Bishop and other ofiicers and members of committees the ar- 

 rangements in the first two years were specially good. As the Inter- 

 state Commerce law was not then in existence, much work was neces- 

 sary to obtain reduced rates and free carriage of canoes, but the 

 arrangements t hen madewiU compare favorably with any later ones. 

 Through Mr. Bishop the canoeists were boarded at Crosbyside for 

 the nominal charge of twenty-five cents per meal, and in the second 

 year, on Lorna Island, a jog house was built as headquarters, mess 

 shed built and run, with a fairly good table, the noon meal being 

 taken at Crosbyside. The Association fortunately bad not then ao- 



quired a luxurious taste for tent floors, and none were provided, but 

 the general arrangements of mess, railroads, etc., were very satisfac- 

 tory. 



One source of trouble in the ease of the late meet was that some of 

 the oflBcers and committeemen for whom Mr. Vaux speaks did little 

 and others did nothing, so that those who, including the Vice-Commo- 

 dore, really did work, had their labors doubled or trebled, and 

 even then much was badly done. Without attempting to argue 

 as to the exact responsibility of unpaid officers, we stfll maintain 

 that it is unfair to the members who attend the meets to start 

 them on their journey in the behef that certain arrangements 

 have been made, leaving them in the end to find that whether, for good 

 reasons or bad, the plans of the ofiBicers have miscarried, and that they 

 must get to camp as they can. This was done at Bow-Arrow Point in 

 1887, at Stave Island to a certain extent in 1889, at Jessup's Neck in 

 1890, at WiUsboro Pomt in 1891, and yet the Atlantic Division profited 

 nothing by the experience. If it is necessary or desirable to locate the 

 camp in a distant place that men must reach by their own efforts, 

 then they should be notified in good season of the exact state of the 

 case, and the phantom steam launch which none can ever find should 

 disappear from the programmes of the transportation committee, 

 where alone it has existed. 



The latest announcement of the transportation arrangements from 

 the American side to the A. C. A. camp promise poorly, as the steamer 

 wiU only run five days a week, omitting the very days which are most 

 important, Sundaj^ and Monday. The Saturday night trains from 

 Boston, New York and Albany, carry more men to the meet than on 

 any other day, and naturally all will wish to go by way of Clayton, as: 

 the shortest and most convenient. This route is now out of the 

 question on two days of the week, both going and returning. The 

 route via Cape Vincent is slower and involves the waste of some 

 hom-s at Kingston, and a late arrival in camp. A man who leaves 

 New York at 7 P. M. can be in Clayton by 5:.30 the following morning, 

 and it ought to be possible for him to cover the remaining 15 miles in 

 a couple of hours and have his tent pitched by 10 A. M. 



The sailing war canoe is a new departure, but the Crescent Athletic 

 Club has just purchased one with two sails. 



After the very full and voluminous reports which our Western 

 correspondent has furnished for two years of the Western Canoe 

 Association meet, we were prepared for a glowing account of the glad 

 return to Ballast Island in the Columbian year. It was with some- 

 thing of a shock that we read the brief telegram from Mr. Hough, 

 which we print in full. Such a meet can do little good to the Associa- 

 tion, and it now remains for the new officers to set to work earnestly 

 to put matters on a better footing for the future. After the experi- 

 ence of last year in a ne'W location, many were opposed to the return 

 to Ballast this year, but the matter was forced by a few who threat- 

 ened that if the meet were held anywhere else they would not play. 

 As events have proved, it was unfortunate for the Association that 

 the majority submitted to this sort of argument. The West is a big 

 place, and the Western Canoe Association might be a great deal 

 bigger than it is if a wise and liberal policy had been followed from 

 the start. 



The Atlantic Division Meet. 



Editor Forest and Sir earn: 



Two recent editorials in your paper have scored the officers of the 

 Atlantic Division for various offenses in connection with the division 

 meet, and I deem it a good chance, with your permission, to get in a 

 whack at them myself. Not being able to attend the meet, naturally I 

 was very anxious to hear all about it, and I turned eagerly to your 

 paper for the full detafis of the doings and races. Imagine my disgust 

 at not finding anything there but an editorial on bad management, 

 and the next week's issue carried on the managerical discussion and 

 omitted all news. Some officer is to blame for this, and I want the re- 

 sponsiWlity placed. Those who did not attend the meet, and many of 

 your canoeing readers did not, are vastly more interested in what the 

 olHcers and men did do at Chimmon's Island than in what they failed 

 to do. 



Another point: In the army the officers are in command and are 

 obeyed. When any disciplining is to be done they do it. In the A. C. 

 A. the members discipline the officers, the members' wants and wills 

 are law and the officers are unpaid servants, I maj'' say slaves. This 

 is all wrong. We must get officers who can command and not make 

 excuses and ask for pardon and mercy. Can't a man be found 'who 

 will stand up and really govern the members, and not meekly do as he 

 is told, and if the task imposed is greater than he can bear, apologize 

 for not being superhuman. 



The fault is all with the officers and always has been. They have 

 been indulgent parents and the child has been spoiled. What can you 

 expect under such circumstances? Even the editors have been in- 

 dulged to such an extent in former .years that if they are placed out 

 of reach of an electric button for a few hours at a local meet they 

 feel there is criminal negligence on the part of those in command, and 

 there is no hesitation about saying so. 



Contrast what was expected by the members of the ofQcers in the 

 early days at Lake George. The dues were the same then that they 

 are now. There were no transportation committees, and each man 

 got to camp the best way he could— he generally paddled there. 

 There were no camp site committees to furnish tent floors and land- 

 ing skids at cost. There was no caterer and each man cooked his own 

 food— and procured supplies as best he could. There was no ladies' 

 camp, in fact, nothing but an island which three of the members 

 owned and allowed the A. C. A. to n.se. Did the members kick? Per- 

 haps they did, but not the ofBcers. If things went wrong they kicked 

 themselves. It is about time the abused ofiicers turn and do a fittle 

 kicking themselves, and I for one hope the first man they jump on 

 with both feet wUl be the one who is responsible for the lack of a re- 

 port of the'meet in the columns of Forest and Stream. 

 New York, .July 23. C. Bowyer Vatts. 



Western Canoe Association Meet. 



Ballast Island, Lake Erie, July 24.— There are 20 canoes here, but 

 the interest is not intense. Only one officer of the association, the 

 secretary, is here. The complaints over this are undisguised, The 

 racing has developed no very great interest. F. B. Huntington, of 

 Milwaukee, won the trophy race. Nat. Cook, of Chicago, won the 

 Longworth cup. EmU Hansen, of Milwaukee, won the Gardner cup. 

 The latter race concluded late Saturday. The weather is pleasant and 

 there is a good sailing wind. The attendance is from MUwaukee, De- 

 troit, Cincinnati and Dayton mainly. Chicago has only one canoe 

 here. This seems an off year and much discussion prevails as to 

 causes and remedies. At the annual meeting only 17 members were 

 present. O. A. Woodruff, of Dayton, O., was elected commodore, F. 

 B. Huntington, of Milwaukee, Vice-Commodore; L. K. Liggitt, of De- 

 troit, Rear Commodore; .Tames Gardner, of Cleveland, Secretary- 

 Treasurer; Executive Committee, T. .1. Kirkpatrick, of Springfield:
