the later forms of hull, but haviDg entirely too large a midship sec- 

 tion and too much sail for the length. It seems to us that the best 

 possible boat haB not yet been built and cannot be under existing con- 

 ditions, and that the -way to it lies through a heavier tax on sail and 

 a greater freedom in the matter of length. 



The Seawanhaka rule has been long enough used by some of the 

 clubs to show that with a waterline classification it does not tax sail 

 as heavily as is desirable, while severely restricting the length; but 

 there is good reason to believe that the same rule used both for 

 measurement and classification would, without leading to any extreme 

 or undesirable type, create a decidedly better boat than has yet been 

 seen, of considerable beam and sail area, but still of better model and 

 less power tban the Cape cat. Whatever is to replace it, the reten- 

 tion of the length rule, in any of its many forms, can only do harm, a 

 fact that has been proved again and again by the boats built to race 

 under it. 



Classification by sailing length under the Seawanhaka rule can no 

 longer be considered an extreme or radical measure, in fact it is as 

 easy a step as can now be taken toward a uniform and a better rule. 

 It does not of itself legislate for the fin-keel, but this type may be dealt 

 with in one of two ways, either by making a separate class, as was 

 long done with the keel boats about Boston, or by including displace- 

 ment or the area of midship section in the formula in a way that will 

 put a premium on them. Such a rule will not stop outbuilding, or the 

 construction of comparatively expensive racing craft in the classes 

 and clubs where the racing might be keenest; but we believe that 

 throughout the fleet as a whole it would encourage a moderate type 

 of yacht especially well adapted for local needs. 



The possibilities for improvement are so great about Boston, with 

 plenty of good water, hundreds of keen sailormen, and a large fleet as 

 the nucleus for a still larger and better one, that there is every in- 

 ducement for the clubs aud individual?, one and all, to drop any minor 

 differences and begin at once the work of formulating and adopting 

 such rules and conditions as may seem best suited to their needs. 



Pending the starting of Vigilant and Valkyrie, the racing of Britan- 

 nia, Satanita and Iverna in the Thames races has been uninteresting, 

 Britannia winning easily. Satanita has been given a larger sail plan, 

 bringing her up to 171 rating, but she is still unable to beat Britannia 

 on even time, much less to give her allowance. Dacotah, the new 

 Herreshoff boat, is thus far equalling v\ euonah's record, and the 

 older Herreshoff boats Wee Win, Morwena and Meneen are still doing 

 well in the Southampton classess. 



Prizes in Yachting— Challenge Cups. 



The question of cups '-s. cash prizes in yacht racing has lately been 

 discussed in some of our contemporaries, but with no decisive result' 

 opinion being divided as it is long likely to be. over the merits of the 

 two systems. There is one sort of cup, however, which is rapidly 

 going out. of date, as js pointed out in tue following editorial from the 

 Yachtsman. There must be always one great international challenge 

 cup, and can be but one which will bo generally recognized as such by 

 all yachting nations; as the America's Cup has been and will continu« 

 to be if held only under perfectly lair conditions; beyond this, there 

 is little call for challenge cups and trophies, modern methods demand 

 something that attains its end quickly and finally, giving place to 

 another novelty ; and yachtsmen are even less disposed than in the 

 past to sail an interminable series cf races for a single prize. The 

 Yachtsman says: 



"The announcement recently made that Mr. Gordon Bennett has 

 signified his intention of offering three challenge cups of £500 value 

 each, naiurally suggests the question: 'Are challenge cups worth 

 racing for?' When they are accompanied, as those cups will be on 

 the first competition, by £500 cash, also given by Mr. Bennett, and by 

 second prizes of £200 each, presented by Baron Arthur de Roths jhild 

 the answer is unhesitatingly 'yes; 1 btu when the result of winning is 

 only the responsibility of taking care of a valuable trophy until some- 

 one else gives relict by winning it again, plus the glory, the reply may 

 be very different. In former days, challenge cups were common 

 enough, but have never been really popular, and of late years with 

 certain notable exceptions, entries could not be obtained for them 

 among English yachts— as for instance, in the case of one of Mr T 

 B. C. West s challenge cups and the Victoria Gold Cup. The former 

 has never yet been ractd for, and the latter would have been in the 

 same position had Navahoe not visited our shores last summer. Even 

 in the cases where a challenge cup becomes the absolute property of 

 the person or of the yacht which wins it a certain number of times 

 there is but little desire evinced to compete, but when, like the 

 America Cup, the Royal Victoria Gold Cup and others, they can never 

 become the absolu 1 e property of the winner, it is not to be wondered 

 at if yacht owners are, to use an Irishism, 'backward in coming for- 

 ward,' unless then, as with the America Cup, International rivalry 

 creates a special interest. It is, doubtless, for this reason that so 

 many challenge cups have of late years been dignified with tne high- 

 sounding title of 'International,' and have had so many curious and 

 tangled conditions attached to the competitions for them as to neces- 

 sitate a trained legal mind to construe tiiem. 



"With regard to the valuable cups so liberally offered by Mr. Gordon 

 Bennett, the conditions under which they are to be raced for are so 

 far as they have been published, rather vague, but that they are to 

 become the absolute property of the winners of two successive con- 

 tests appears to be the case. So far, good; but must each cup be won 

 by the same yacbt or only by the same person? If the former is the 

 case the cups are likely to be long 'unowned,' and, without added 

 money, it may be difficult to get challengers to take up the glove so 

 that, in. spite of their value, they may not, after all, produce much 

 spurt. Perhaps, if less valuable challenge cups had been offered and 

 the balance of casu been funded, so as to make prizes in perpetuity 

 it would have been better than the proposed system, for the cuds 

 might then have been trophies to be won on each year, while the 

 added money would -have provided eacn winner with a substantial 

 prize. There have been many challenge cups offere,:!, nearly all with 

 strange conditions attached to the winning of them, but perhaps the 

 most curious were the Prince of Wales' and the Marquess of Or 

 monde's Cups. The first-named was offered and first sailed for in 1870 

 one of the conditions being that it should be won three times by the 

 same yacht. Egeria eventually won it in lb74, but the race never 

 created much interest, no douot partly because the course sailed was 

 from Cowes round the shambles Light and back; but chiefly because 

 it was tor a challenge cup. The greatest number that ever started 

 for it was six, in 1871, in which year, by way of contrast, m less than 

 sixteen large vessels were entered for the Cowes Town Cup sailed on 

 the previous day. In the first race, in 1870, five vessels competed but 

 on the other three occasions only three went to the start each time 

 and there was a strong sense of relief felt when Egeria won the cnn 

 for good and all. p 



"But certainly the most eccentric conditions ever attached to a cud 

 in modern times were those of the Marquess of Ormonde's Challenge 

 Cup, first raced tor in 1878. This cup was given to be raced for bv 

 yachts belonging to the Royal Insu Y, c, and had to be won three 

 times by the same yacht, and the same owner, in addition to which 

 it was a sealed handicap. Now the Royal Irish and the Roval St 

 George, holding, as they do, their regattas at Kingstown on alternate 

 years, the cups could not, according to these conditions, become the 

 absolute property of the winner lor six years, which alone made it 

 very long odds against it ever being won outright at all. It was how 

 ever, ultimately won by Mr. A. Crawford with Nixie, in 1887 but we 

 believe, speaking from memory, the conditions were modified so as to 

 allow him to retain it, and so get rid of what had become somewhat 

 of a white elephant. 



"But the Queen's Cup, won by the famous old Arrow, and which 

 Mr. Ohamberlayne proposes to offer as an 'International" Challenge 

 Cup, is likely to surpass all its predecessors in eccentric conditions 

 if ne carries out his present ideas. This cup, according to a letter Mr 

 Ohamoerlayne published recently, may be challenged for by any 

 foreign ciuo or yaci it, Out must be defended by a yacht built at the 

 port of Southampton, and manned by an Englisn crew, and the chal- 

 lenger, if American, must be handled by an American crew— with the 

 exception, in either case, of the pilot. This is encouraging local in- 

 dustry in a superlative degree, but perhaps at the expense of sport 

 Fifteen or twenty years ago, when these cups were being raced for' 

 with but scanty entries, there were not nearly so many regattas aud 

 races as there are now, when, from the end of May to the end of 

 August there is scarcely one spare day, aud, if they did not become 

 popular then, they are not very likely to do so now that the other at- 

 tractions are so numerous, unless, as we have already said some 

 stronger inducement than the possible chance of the ultimately secur- 

 ing the cup is added. 



•Tt is ah very well to say that owners of racing yachts do not race for 

 the sake of the value of the prizes, but it is equally true that they 

 grumble when only small prizes are given, and it is pretty certain 



there would be no racing at all if prizes of adequate values were not 

 offered. 



\ "Yacht racing has ever been a costly amusement, and although no 

 man, be he never so fortunate and successful, can hope to pay his 

 racing expenses with his winnings, yet. his prizes, whether in the form 

 of cash or cups, are so much to place to the credit side of his expen- 

 diture. The pleasure and the honor of winning a challenge cup may 

 be, and probably are as great as winning a cash prizB of the same 

 value, but it is anything but satisfaclory that, after having won the 

 cup once, it has to be won again, perhaps oftener, before it becomes 

 really the property of the winner. There is too much of the 'double 

 event' chance about it to tempt men to compete, and as each year the 

 numbers of open races increase, so each year the disiike for challenge 

 cups will also grow." 



Southern Y. C. Annual Regatta. 



New Orleans (Lake Pontchartrain), June 9.— The Southern Y. C. 

 of New Orleans held its long deferred annual regatta on June 9. A 

 reception and the awarding of prizes took place on the following Mon- 

 day evening. The proper date for the annual regatta was May 12, but 

 owing to repairs to the club house it was set for May 28. A fire which 

 destroyed the approach to the clubhouse caused a further postpone- 

 ment until last Saturday. As a comparative test of the qualities of 

 the various boats, the event was not a pronounced success, because 

 the day was one of conflicting calms and rain squalls, such a day as to 

 try one's patience. When twenty or thirty boats are scattered all over 

 a fifteen mile triangular course and on one edge of that course one or 

 Dtore squalls are kicking up a fuss, and within it there is a dead calm, 

 somebody is going to get the worst of it; and every one is kept guess : 

 ing as to where the next fluke will strike. On this little lake of ours 

 the wind is liable to come from every other quarter about every other 

 minute on such a day. As an example of the variability of the whim- 

 sical element, some old box may be bursting open the waves for all 

 she is worth over on one leg of the course, while on the other side some 

 of the crack wind jammers may be becalmed and without steerageway. 

 Then again the other boat may be staggering along through the fury 

 of a sudden squall with clubtopsail aloft, while her competitor had 

 cautiously taken in a reef for the impending squall, which did not 

 work round in her direction at all. 



The preparatory gun for the race was fired just a few moments be- 

 fore a blinding squall struck the fleet. A half dozen or more escaped 

 without a handicap, but 15 or 20 minutes and even half an hour pen- 

 ary was given some of the more unfortunate. The winners in the 

 various classes were as follows: Schooners— Viola, S. F. Heaslip; 

 Class 1, cabin sloops— Nepenthe, C. P. Richardson; Class 2, cabm 

 sloops— Silence, Peter Labouisse; Class 8, open sloops— Lady Emma, 

 N. E. Baumgarden; Class 4, open sloops— Mephisto, Jack Brewster; 

 Class 5, open sloops— Nyanza, J. W Stone; Class 6, open sloops— Alice, 

 Peter Cooke; Class 7, open sloops— Lady Luckett; Class 8, catboats— 

 Louise, T. M. Moorman. Frolic, H. H. Frederick, won the steam 

 yacht race, and Idylle, H. T, Cottam, won the naphtha launch race.

COLLEGE POINT— LONG ISLAND SOUND. 



Saturday, June 16. 



The annual regatta of the Knickerbocker Y. C. was sailed on June 

 16 in a light wind until near the finish, when a heavy squall set in. 

 There was a good fleet of starters. The courses were: Classes A, B, 

 C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J around all buoys located on Execution Rock 

 Shoals, leaving all (3) turning buoys on port hand, and return. 



Class K to and around Gangway buoy and return, turning from lee- 

 ward to windward. All yachts must leave all Government marks and 

 buoys on the proper hand, going and returning, excepting Gangway 

 buoy, which may be left on either hand. 



The principal interest was in the new Dyer boat, Minnetonka. built 

 for Vice-Corn. Geo Work, Larchmont Y. C, and her competitor, Mr. 

 W. Butler Duncan, Jr. 's Houri, built by Herreshoff. 



The start was from the gun, and the yachts got away smartly. 

 Minnetonka led off the wind, but to windward she was badly beaten by 

 Houri, showing a lack of power as compared with the Herreshoff boat. 

 She finally withdrew. The winners were: 



Class B, Penguin; Class C, Sasqua; Class D, Mopsa; Class E, Houri: 

 Glass F, Madrine; class G, Nanita; Class H, Mary; Class I, Onawav 

 Class J., J. I. M. , Class K., Violet.

 figured. The regatta committee were E. M. Mcdonald, chairman; J 

 O. Sinkinson, Edwin C. Wood, 0. L. Strohmenger, and A. H. Funke.
