The Yacht Racing Association of Massachusetts. 
As a result of two years of careful experimental work in the direc- 
tion of permanent union under the name of the Congress of Revatta 
Committees, the yacht clubs of Massachusetts Bay are once more 
united in an association for the management of races. That the 
attempt has failed more than once in the past is no reason for the be- 
lief that the present organization will not prove permanent and pros- 
perous, advancing the interests of yachting and yacht racing and 
itself attaining a higher standard. The conditions existing to-day are 
very different from those under which the last unsuccessful attempt 
was made; the many clubs are more closely in union, there is compar- 
atively little difference in racing rules and methods, and the whole 
tendency of the times in yachting is toward harmonious and concerted 
action, uniform regulations and open races. The new association 
starts off with a membership of twenty-seven clubs, by no means all 
within its territory (thoue-h we know of no reason why such an asso- 
ciation should not appeal to all), but still a representative number, 
and covering thoroughly the entire waters of Massachustts Bay, in 
fact extending from Newburyport on the north down to Cape Cod on 
the south. The clubs are the American, of Newburyport ; Atlantic, of 
Boston; Boston, Cape Cod, Chelsea, Oohasset, Commonwealth, Colum- 
bia, Dorchester, Buxbury, Hull, Jeffries, Kingston, Lynn, Manches- 
ter, Massachusetts, Mosquito Fleet, Old Colony, Plymouth, Quincy, 
Revere. Savin Hill, South Boston, Squantum, West Lynn, Wellfleet 
and Wiothrop. 
The Association was organized on March 19. 1896. with the following 
officers: Pres., Louis M. Clark, Mass. Y C: Vice-Pres.. A. H. Higgin- 
son, Manchester Y. C. : Sec'y, A. T. Bliss, Winthrop Y- C, 111 Milk 
street, Boston ; Asst. Sec'y, J. E Robinson, Ravin Hill Y. C; Treas., 
Walter Burgess, Boston Y. C, 15 State street; Executive Committee, 
H. M. Faxon, Qiiincy Y. 0 ; N. B. Stone, South Boston Y. C. ; T. E. 
Jacobs, Hull Y. C; Meas., James Bertram, 330 Broadway, Boston. 
The book of the Association, just issued, contains its rules, under 
which all the associated clubs will race, the allowance tables, specially 
revised last year by F. N. Bemis, tide tables and miscellaneous infor- 
mation. 
While materially better than the older rules of its kind under which 
previous attempts have failed, the rule adopted is very far from satis- 
factory in that length also is included, it being the same rule origi- 
nated and used by the Atlantic N Y., of Brooklyn, some ten years 
since, the length taken at some fixed distance ab ve the actual water- 
line; in this case 3in. for all yachts within the limits which the Associ- 
ation aspires to cover, of 30ft l.w.l. length. Whatever may be urged 
in favor of a "mean length" rule, by which overhaogs are taxed 
(especially where sail goes free), as a concession to old craft of the 
back number type, we believe that no valid reason can be given to-day 
for the taxation cf overhangs, and that some restriction of sail is a 
necessity. In view or the widespread and successful usage of the Sea- 
wanhaka rule, the Association would certainly have done nothing 
radical or dangerous in adopting it, and it is now a question how soon 
all the clubs will have to go still further in the same direction of 
judicious restriction in the introduction of a third factor in the 
formula tending to produc a greater displacement. If, as is generally 
recognized, the Seawanhaka rule is inadequate in stopping the pre- 
vailing tendency to reduce displacement and to sacrifice necessary 
strength, then the mean length rule is still more inadequate. We 
hope that a comparatively brief experience will show the pnssibitity as 
well as the desirability of replacing the present rule by the ore used by 
nearly all American clubs, that of length on the wateMine and sail 
area. 
The classes under the rule are: First class, 25ft. and under 30; sec- 
ond class, 21 and under 25ft ; third class, 18 and under 21ft ; fourth 
class, 15 and under 18ft. ; fifth class, under 15ft. There is also a knock- 
about class, under the restrictions already published in the Forest 
and Stream. The limit of crews is: First class. 7 men; second, 6 
men; third, 5 men; fourth. 4 men; fifth and knockabout, 3 men. 
Shifting ballast is of course prohibited The list of scheduled races 
is a long one, forming part of our list of fixtures, .and included some 
clubs not members of the Association, but which give certain races 
UDder its rules. The very neat book of rules is, we presume, Iargeiy 
the work of the secretary, who has done a great deal toward the suc- 
cessful organization of the Association. A system of fixed numbers 
has been adopted, the numbers below 100 being allotted to the fifth 
class, those from 100 to 199 to the first class; 200 to 299 to the second; 
300 to 399 to the third, and 400 to 499 to the fourth, the knockabouts 
being numbered from 500 up It is also provided that when a special 
class is added the numbers from 60 to 99 shall be used for it. 
The Thames Races. 
The match races of the New Thames Y. C, from South End to Har- 
wich, were sailed on May 30. The sky was cloudv, and there was a 
contrary tide, with the wind from the northeast. The start was made 
at 9:55 A. M. In the race for the large raters Sat^nita crossed the 
line 10 seconds ahead of Britannia, who was followed by Ailsa, Caress, 
Isolde, Corsair and Hester. 
In the race for twenty-raters Penitent crossed the line first and 
Niagara last. Afterward Britannia and Niagara overhauled the 
leaders in their respective classes. 
Following are the times of the yachts at the finish: Satanita, 
4:34:32; Britannia, 4:37:87; Ailsa, 4:41:56; Hester, 5:18:21; Isolde, 
5:27:04; CorRair, 5:44:15. 
In the race for the twenty-raters Niagara finished at 5:04:14, and 
Penitent at 5:57:47. Britannia won the larger rater race on time 
allowance by 17 seconds. Britannia's new rating is 97; Satanita's, 
100.1, and Ailsa's, 100.1. 
DECORATION DAY, 1896. 
SATURDAY, MAY 30. 
With clear and pleasant weather and good breezes, the yachting 
season of 1896 was opened most auspiciously. Many races were sailed 
and the yacht clubs generally celebrated the day by receptions at the 
club stations. The day passed off pleasantly, with no serious mishaps 
among the pleasure fleet. 
Harlem T. C. Annual Regatta. 
CITY ISLAND— LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
The Harlem Y. C. was scheduled for the first open race of the Yacht 
Racing Union, and with a big fleet and a good S.W. breeze the day wag 
most successful. The courses were from a starting line off Belden's 
Dock, City Island, out on the Sound, the classes of 25ft. and upward 
sailing first around Throgg's Neck buoy, then around Matinnicock 
buoy and home. 20 miles. The smaller classes sailed a 16 mile course 
and the 20ft. cats one of 12 miles. The wind gave a run down the 
Sound and a beat home, The times were:

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
OYSTER BAY. 
The formal opening of the Oyster Bay station of the Seawanhaka 
Corinthian Y. C. took place on Saturday, a large number of members 
and guests being present. In theharbo' was the flagship Iroquois, 
Com. Rouse, with a number of steam and sailing yachts and quite a 
fleet of 15-footers. The visitors who came by train found their way 
readily from the railway station in Oyster Bay over a wide board walk 
to a landing stage close by at the head of the new canal, where the 
club steamer was waiting— a very great improvement over previous 
means of transit. Promptly at noon the colors were hoisted on the 
bluff and on the yachts at anchor. The races began at 12:30 with the 
15-footers, nine starting: 
Trilby, G. O. Tyson; Hope, Arthur Iselin; Willada, W. G. Newman; 
Terrapin, W S. Peters; Olita, H. C. Rouse; Two Step, W. H. Jen- 
nings; Gnome, F. M. Hoyt; Paprika, C. S. Hoyt. 
Most of the boats were sailed by their owners, but Trilby was sailed 
by her designer, Chas. Olmstead, and Olita b/ L. B. Huntington. 
Hope was sailed by her owner, but L D Huntington, her builder, 
sailed as crew. The course was from off the club float out past Plumb 
P^int and around a mark near Lloyd's Neck, backup the narbor and 
around the buoy off Moses Point, then to the line, this course being 
sailed twice, after which the yachts were to sail the short triangle be- 
tween the float, the black buoy abreast it, and Moses Point. The 
wind was S.W., a puffy whole sail hreeze, making a run out to the 
first mark and a beat back to Moses Point each time. A good start 
was made, in spite of a couple of outside yachts in the way on the line, 
Olita crossing first, followed by Hope, Terrapin and Two Step. Two 
Step took the lead from the start and was soon well out ahead of the 
fleet. She held first place for a mile or more, until well outside of the 
harbor, but no mark was in sight for her to turn As it subsequently 
appea ed, ihe mat k. a triangular fl->at with red ball, had capsized and 
was invisible. The fleet cominued Uutil far pa-tthe turning point and 
then gave up and returned. 
The committee hailed each boat and ordered a new s 1 art, the course 
being changed— one round of the long course and two of the short. 
Two Step was carrying a n-w and larger mainsail, just bent, and no 
ballast, finding the breeze pretty strong in the puffs. She turned In a 
reef just before the start, the others keeping whole sail The start 
was given at 1:48 Two Step worked cleverly about, just on the line, 
and was first away with gunfire, again taking the leau and holding it, 
with Hope and Olita chasing her. She led ac theouter mark, a steam 
launch sent out for the purpose. Gnome started, but soon gave up. 
The second leg was to windward and against a strong sbb tide. Hope 
soon took second place, and as the leaders neared Plumb Point she 
was to windward, with WitJada on her lee beam and Two Step just to 
leeward of Willada. Hope, with Mr. Huntington as pilot, worked 
close in under the point, while the other two kept further off. In a 
very little while Hope was far ahead, while Trilby, after being near 
the end of the procession, had run up into second place on the 
windward work. In the beat from Plumb Point to Moses Point 
buoy Hope improved her position, and the order at this mark was: 
Hope, Trilby, Willada, Olita, Paprika, Terrapin and Two Step. 
Off the wind Two Step shook out her reef, but was still in 
the rear when the first round finished. The yachts were obliged to 
sail through the fleet at anchor, and the next mark, the black buoy, 
though but a short distance out, could not be seen. Hope twisted her 
way in and out and picked it up, but Trilby started in the wrong direc- 
tion, though recalled and set straight. When Two Step came along 
she made the same mistake as Trilby, but did not discover it. luffing 
out and crossing the bows of the steam yacht Oneida instead of going 
well under the stern. Sne continued to the finish, but was out of the 
race. Terrapin also missed a mark and withdrew. The order of 
the leaders was unchanged in the last two rounds, the final times 
being, start 1:53:00:

Le Roy Dresser, J. F. Tarns, J. B. Murray and R. A, Rutherford. Mr. 
Dresser's boat won, finishing at 3:24:23, Mr. Murray's at 3:24:40, Mr. 
Tarns' at 3:26:23, and Mr. Rutherford's at 3:28:47. 
Atlantic Y. C. 
BAY RIDGE— NEW YORK BAY. 
The fleet of the Atlantic Y. C. turned out in force to celebrate the 
day, the opening ceremonies being supplemented by a race down the 
Bay Com. Gould was aboard Vice-Corn, Adams's schooner Sachem, 
the two flagships, Atalanta and Vigilant, not being yet in commission. 
The weather in the Bay was less favorable than that in the 
Sound, the fickle S.W. wind dropping entirely at times and then com- 
ing in hard, once bringing a rain squall. The start was marred by a 
calm, in which the yacuts could make no headway against the tide. 
The times were;

New York C. C. 
BENSONBUHST— NEW YORK BAY. 
The first race of the 15-footers of the New York C. C. was sailed on 
Saturday with nine starters, eight being of the ' one-design" class 
built at Canarsie. The other was the J^-rater built last year by Fry, 
of Clayton, for W. W. Howard, to be sailed by Mrs Howard against 
Spruce IV., sailed by Miss Constance Bennett, in England. The boat 
was not finished in time, and as Spiuce was brought to this country, 
the race never came off. Mr, Howard had just received the boat from 
Clavton, N. Y. She is long and narrow compared with the American 
15-tooters, with smaller sail area. With a very light hull she has an 
aluminum board and hollow spars. The "one-design" 15-footers are 
entirely outclassed by her in construction. 
In the morning a canoe race was sailed with but two starters, Pio- 
neer, F. C. Moore, and Torment, J. O Mowbray. Torment won by 
4m. 13s. The 15-footers ptarted at 4:00, with very little wind, but the 
breeze soon freshened. Ulmac won very easily, the times being:
