National Beagle Club. 



Taeeytown, N. Y., Aug. 3. —The adjourned meeting of 

 the National Beagle Club of America was held at the A. K. 

 C. rooms, 44 Boardway, New York, N. Y., on July 31. Pres- 

 ent were President Kreuder, Messrs. 8cheUhass, Laick, Bate- 

 man, Koberts, A. D. Lewis, Geo. W. Ilogers. 



Messrs. James T. Flanuelly and O. W. Brooking offered 

 their resignations from the club, which were accepted. Mr. 

 W. H. Child offered his resignation and Mr. Schellhass was 

 appointed a committee to ascertain the reason of his resigna- 

 tion. 



The Blue G^rass E. C. of Lexington, Ky., the Saratoga 

 Poultry and Kennel Club and the Toronto Industrial Exposi- 

 tion K. C. asked the N. B. C. of America to donate special 

 prizes to their respective shows, but as the N. B. C. of Amer- 

 ica will devote all its energy toward the coming field trials, 

 the above asked for specials were not granted. Mr. Pottinger 

 Dorsey stated in a letter to the club that the .special prize 

 won by Lee II. as absolute winner of 1892 had not been paid 

 by last year's management of the club. It was voted that a 

 suitable piece of silver plate be purchased by the committee 

 appointed, the same to be presented to Mr. Pottinger Dorsey 

 as a special won by Lee II. at 1892 field trials. Meeting ad- 

 journed at 4 P. M.

CoNsiDEEiNG the fleet gathered at Cowes for the week of the Royal 

 Yacht Squadron, that great and august body began its racing with 

 something very much akin to a farce. The race for the Queen's cup, 

 the principal prize of the year, was in the first place made a handi- 

 cap, thus robbing it of aU interest. Handicaps ai-e all very well in 

 their way, but with five new racing craft sailing regularly under the 

 Y. R. A. allowances, few yachtsmen would care to waste time over 

 a handicap for such outbudt craft as Thistle and Wendur, with the 

 little Mohawk thrown in. In addition to being a handicap the race 

 was limited to yachts enrolled in the Squadron, thus shutting out 

 Satanita, CaUuna and Navahoe, aU new craft. What little interest 

 attached to the race between Valkyrie and Britannia under such con- 

 ditions disappeared entirely when it was learned that the former, 

 after beating Britannia by a safe margin, and Meteor (Thistle) by a 

 quarter of an hour, was disqualified for passing a mark on the wrong 

 hand. By a fortunate chance Meteor was just within her handicap 

 time of Britannia, and so won the cup, to the great gratification of 

 her Imperial owner, who, as one di^pat<lh says, was seriously dis- 

 appointed last year when he was beaten by the 40-rater Corsair. It 



is also stated that the captain and crew of Valkyrie, who doubtless 

 worked hard enough to win, were disgusted and indignant at the 

 final result. The race nest day for the Meteor shield was a similar 

 failure, only two yachts, Britannia and Satanita, starting. An open 

 race for each of these trophies would have brought out the finest 

 fleet that has started in England for many yeai-s, and night have 

 helped yachting as much as these two absurd contests have re- 

 tarded it. 



Last week the daily papers were full of a sensational story, origi- 

 nating in New York, to the effect that the new Paine fin- keel Jubilee 

 had turned out a complete failure, and would not start in the trial 

 races, some adding the important intelligence that General Paine was 

 about to fit out the Volunteer. The only foundation for the story 

 seems to be that General Paine has neglected to make a formal entry 

 for the trial races before August 1, the date set by the committee. 

 Jubilee is to all appearances doing fully as well as most new boats, 

 and she will be in the races this week with the others of her class. 



Opinions as to Navahoe have traversed the whole range, from high 

 est to lowest, and the anxious yachtsman may, according to his sym- 

 pathies, American or British, read with dehght that she is far and 

 away superior to the four new British yachts, or that she is unman- 

 ageable and has nearly capsized. The most reasonable supposition 

 from the races saded up to this time is that she met her best weathep 

 in her first race, a good breeze, in which she could carry her large 

 topsail easily ; and that in heavier weather she is still lacking in 

 power, and is likely to be defeated by the home boats. Considering 

 the many disadvantages under which she labors as compared with 

 the others, in strange waters, racing against a foreign fleet, and her 

 fh-st race virtually a trial trip, the result was remarkably good, in 

 fact an agreeable surprise. That she has been beaten in strong 

 winds is in no way surprising from what has been suspected from the 

 fli-st, of her lack of power, even with the outside lead. With a few 

 more trials a marked improvement may be looked for, and it now 

 seems likely that with moderate weather to aid her she will do no dis- 

 credit to America, even though she should fail to bring back the 

 three cups she has gone for. 



The comments of the English papers, the Times in particular, on 

 Navahoe are very amusing, and quite on a par with similai- expert 

 opinions printed on this side. Among other comments the Times says: 

 " The Navahoe's behavior during the week certainly supports Brit 

 isn yachtsmen in the opinion that the centerboard yacht, as developed 

 by American designers, is only fit for fine weather." Although Nava, 

 hoe has a centerboard, she has absolutely nothing else in common with 

 the national type of centerboard yacht, in fact she draws just about 

 the same water as Genesta, Galatea and Thistle, with as low or lower 

 ballast. The centerboard has suffered in the past from being f oimd in 

 very bad company, great beam, shoal draft and poor construction ; 

 but there is nothing in the board itself which makes a vessel unsea" 

 worthy apart from its model. There was a time when the centerboard 

 was found only in vessels of a dangerous type ; but that time has 

 passed; the Times must be a long way astern if it has not heard of the 

 sailing of Puritan and Thetis in hard weather, not to mention Volun- 

 teer and the many other modern eentei-boai-d cutters. 



We venture the prediction now, looldng to the end of the season to 

 justify it, that designers on both sides, and especially in America, 

 have been hurried by circumstances into a size of hull which they do 

 not yet know how to spar or canvas properly; and that the highest 

 speeds of the new boats will not be reached imtil very marked ad- 

 vances have been made in spar making and sail maldng. It would 

 seem that in the mast or boom of 100ft. the limit of strength of a 

 single grown stick had been exceeded, and that to stand properly 

 such spai-s must be in effect built trusses of wood or steel. It is 

 doubtful as well whether the best of the new sails are strong enough 

 to stand as sails have stood in the past, and whether stronger 

 materials and new methods of roping are not necessary. In all the 

 races of 1885-'86 and '87, we fail to recall a single accident to any of 

 the big boats more serious than the carrying away of a topmast— not 

 a mast or bowsprit was lost, or a lower sail torn. The record of the 

 British racing this year shows one succession of new spars, and we 

 look for the same experience in the still more powerful boats on this 

 side. 



Two reports have come this week by cable, one of a 90-footer for the 

 Emperor of Germany, and one of a challenge for the America Cup 

 next year in the event of Valkyrie's failm-e. It is rather soon yet to 

 talk of a challenge from a real 90-footer, but in view of the mechanical 

 difficulties yet unsolved in the new 86ft. boats, of the immense outlay 

 Involved, and of the j)robable after effects of the present financial 

 depression, it would be an unfortunate thing if the Cup racing should 

 be moved up to a still larger class. The question is worthy of con- 

 sideration whether it is not desirable and at the same time possible for 

 the two yachting nations to unite in estabUshing a limit of size for 

 single stick yachts in international competition for such trophies as 

 the America and Royal Victoria C!ups. Such a course would prevent 

 all outbuilding and would be manifestly to the advantage of both 

 sides. 



Chesapeake Bay Y. C. Special Open Race. 



OsviNG to a difference of opinion as to the speed of the yachts In the 

 annual open regatta of the club off Claiburu on July 6, it was ar- 

 ranged to hold a special open race to start from the harbor of St. 

 Jliehaels on Tuesday, August 1. Owing to want of wind this race 

 was postponed to 2d inst. 



Wind moderate N. but very baffling. Course from line drawn frora 

 Tyler's Wharf, St. Michael's harbor, to judges' boat, thence to Wye- 

 town buoy and back to a stake boat at mouth of harbor and repeat. 

 CJom'se of second class from same imaginary fine to Wyetown buoy, 

 thence to stake boat at mouth of harbor, thence to Long Point buoy 

 and back to stai-ting line. Distance for first class, thirteen and one- 

 qusu'ter (nautical) miles ; second class, eleven and one-half (nautical) 

 miles. 



The champion tdass sailed without restrictions as to sails or ballast; 

 this allows the use of outriggers which are always used unless 

 specially restricted. In the second class outriggers were barred, 

 and no shifting dead ballast allowed, and not more than si.x men in 

 any boat. The gun for championship class was fired at 9:55 o'lock, 

 and starting gun at 10 o'clock.

The performance of Island Bird was a wonderful one, considering 

 she sailed the race with only her three sails, mainsail, foresail and 

 jib, while in the champion class immense light sails were used off the 

 wind, and owing to the fact that outriggers were barred, the Island 

 Bird only used a comparatively small suit of sails to wintlward, yet 

 her time over the course, eleven and one- half nautical miles, was 

 3h. 45m. 10s., which compares well with that of the world beater. 

 Island Belle, viz.: 4h. 5m. 30s. over a thirteen and one-quarter naut- 

 ical mile course. . J. G. Moaais, Sec.
