Thirty-foot Class, Special Race. 
NEW YORK BAY. 
Thursday, June 11, 
The first important race of the new 30ft. special class took place on 
June 11 on New York Bay, the weather conditions being such as are 
but too seldom met with about New York in early summer— a strong, 
true wind all day from W.N.W., with smooth water, the weather being 
clear and just cool enough for both yachtsmen and spectators. The 
one serious drawback was the lack of any means of following the 
boats, so that but a small part of an exceptionally fine display of yacht 
racing was seen by others than the contestants and some of the elam- 
mers about Sandy Hook. The race was a special one, for prizes given 
by the New York Y. O. of $75, $50 and $25, and it was started by the 
regatta committee of the club. The course was a special one, as fol- 
10 From a line between Buov 13 and the committee boat anchored east 
of it, two cables' length; around Buoy 12, near Southwest Spit (red 
nun with perch and ball), leaving it to starboard; around float display- 
ing red flag with white stripe, one mile S., half W. from Old Orchard 
Shoal Light, leaving it to starboard, to a line drawn as for the start. 
Buoy 9 (west bank) and the bell buoy, midway between buoys 9 and 
11 (west bank), must be left to the westward both going and return- 
iDfiT 
The starters were: Hera, R. N. Ellis ; Wawa, James Stillman; Es- 
peraEzi, A. S Van Wickle; Vaquero IIL, H. B, Duryea; Mai, O. G. 
Jenning?; Departure, C. B. Seeley; Musme, J. M. MacDonough; Asahi, 
Bayard Thayer. . . 
Departure is the new Gardner sharpie fin-keel, the others being all 
Herreshoff boats. . , . . 
While half a dozen of the boats were in a close tangle at the weather 
end of the line awaiting the gun, Wawa, sailed by Edmund Fish, went 
over the leeward end with a rush and with nothing to trouble her. 
This fine start she soon improved into an open lead of the fleet, which 
she held all day. 8he was one of several, including Musme, sailed by 
J. F. Lovejoy, which had the good judgment to turn in a single reef 
before the' start; Musme soon shook herself free from the others and 
took second place for the day. As they went reaching down by the 
west bank, those with reefs having all the sail they wanted and the 
others luffing and begging with very much more, they made a fine 
sight, with their bright mahogany topsides and pine decks. Taken in 
detail at anchor their appearance is not specially pleasing, the bow 
has an awkward knuckle and the bowsprit is very short, suggesting 
the idea that the yachts would have been quite as good and much 
handsomer if the limit of over all length had been made large enough 
to admit of a jib tack at the stem head, as in El Chico and the older 
Herreshoff fins. The transom and counter of the new model, how- 
ever, is more yacht-like and shapely than in El Chico and Wenonah. 
While the mahogany topsides and white pine decks show in 
very pleasing contrast, the use of oak for the wales, as in all 
the Herreshoff craft, entirely destroys the sheerline, making 
the deck look too wide and the side too low. The cabin 
houses, alike on all, are suggestive of the prompter's box 
at the opera or some other unshipshape and land-lubberly construc- 
tion, and detract very much from the appearance. When under way, 
however, and in such a breeze and bobble as on Thursday, all of these 
defects disappear and only the good points of the boats are visible; 
they are wonderfully lively and quick in all their movements and make 
a beautiful marine picture. The Gardner boat was visible only from 
the lee side and at a disadvantage, but she too has a peculiar streak of 
ugliness in her sharpie stem, with its abrupt angle just above the 
water; she seemed to trim very much by the stern and showed re- 
markably little freeboard. The cabin house was less painfully In evi- 
dence than in the other boats. 
With wind and tide both helping they went gayly along by the west 
bank and down the main channel, Wawa first, Musme second, then 
Vaquero III. and Mai, both with whole sail and staggering under it, 
Hera, Esperanza, ' Asahi and Departure. This order was maintained 
as long as they were in sight, but the greater part of the race, the 
reach across to themarkboat after luffing round the Spit Buoy, and 
the third reach home on the other tack, was lost In sight. The race 
was officially timed:

New York Y. C. Fifty-first Annual Regatta. 
NEW YORK — NEW YORK HARBOR. 
Thursday, June 11. 
The New York Y. 0. was in rare luck for its annual regatta on 
Thursday of last week. The day was simply perfect, clear, bright 
and bracing, with a rattling breeze from W.N. W., a most grateful 
change from the preceding days of fog and rain and raw easterly 
winds. Lander with his orchestra and Delmonico with his luncheon 
were aboard the steamer Taurus in fine racing form, fit to grace any 
regatta, and the club flag flew proudly over a fine fleet of yachts. 
Most of these, however, were of the would-be "protected cruiser" 
class, "tea-kettles," small and large. Of sailing yachts there were 
comparatively few and of racing yachts still fewer; in fact, the whole 
annual regatta resolved itself into a match between two yachts. In- 
teresting as this was from the reputations of the two craft, the very 
successful Emerald and the well-known Colonia making her debut as 
a schooDer, and close and exciting as the race was from start to finish, 
it made but a poor apology for the annual regatta which was once the 
great event of the season. Why the entry list was so small and the 
starters still fewer in number, and why but eight yachts finished, are 
hard questions to answer; but the result remains, that the regatta 
open only to club yachts and those of large size is a thing of the past. 
The conditions of Thursday were far above the average— ideal 
weather, a long and obstinate duel between two noted yachts, all of it 
plainly visible, and incidentally a view of the warships anchored oft 
Staten Island and of a real yacht race; taking all of these together, 
the day was a success, but with such weather, as on Wednesday, with- 
out Colonia, and without the merely incidental view of the 30-iooters, 
it would have been a dismal failure. 
The regatta was under the usual conditions, open to club yachts 
only, the courses being from off Buoy 13, outside the Narrows, down 
by the Ship Channel and Southwest Spit and out by the Hook; the 
larger yachts, all above E5Ct. racing length, going around the Sandy 
Hook Lightship and home as they came, the smaller turning the 
Scotland Ligntship and returning. The usual prizes were offered for 
both racing and cruising trim. In the absence of the three members 
of the regatta committee. Fleet Captain Griswold and Messrs. Tarns 
and W. E. Iselin had charge for the day, accompanying Com. Brown 
on the steam yacht Sylvia. The entries were:

At the last moment Amorita came down and Mr. Brokaw announced 
that the centerboard had jammed and that the yacht consequently 
would not start; she draws but' 12ft. of water and consequently re- 
quires a centerboard to prevent leeway. The owner of the old sloop 
Eclipse, in spite of all he has done to improve her, not unnaturally 
had no desire merely to follow Wasp over the course and did not 
start. The "mixed" class, as prearranged, promised to be well 
worthy of its name, with the big old schooner Ramona matched 
against the cruising Burgess cutter Wayward, but unfortunately It 
was "spoiled" by the absence of Ramona. The committee wiBely ex- 
ercised their discretion, and for once appUed the rule to the purpose 
for which it was intended— of gathering up at the last possible mo- 
ment all the yachts that were without class competitors and making 
one class of them. This brought the two cutters Wayward and Wasp 
together, and made as good a race as was possible under the circum- 
stances. It turned out by no means interesting, as the two were 
minutes apart all day and the smaller won by allowance; but it was 
better than a sail over for each. 
Not only "wind and weather," but everything else permitted a 
punctual start and the gun was not only fired promptly at 11 , as per pro- 
gramme, but all of the yachts were at the line and ready for the start. 
The tide was running about half ebb and the wind was coming over 
the Staten Island hills in chunks, the water being smooth. After a 
ten-minute interval the starting gun for the smaller yachts was fired 
at 11:10:00, and Norota led the way over the line, the times being: 
Norota... ll 10 36 Olga 11 11 24 
Uvira 11 10 43 Wayward , 11 11 39 , 
Wasp 11 10 53 Choctaw 11' 12 26 
Meanwhile the two big schooners were maneuvering up toward the 
Narrows, Colonia keeping to windward; they came down with a rush, 
Colonia carrying her No. 1 jibtopsall, while Emerald's stay was bare. 
Both carried clubtopsails. The first over the line was Iroquois, near 
the leeward end, where a white steam yacht barred her way, a most 
unnecessary proceeding where room was so plentiful. The times of 
the schooners were: 
Iroquois 11 16 56 Elsemarle .1120 17 
Colonia ....11 17 06 Clytie.r 11 21 45 
Emerald 11 17 33 
The first incident of the day was the loss of Uvira's bowsprit when 
but a Bhort distance from the line, compelling her to retire. The fleet 
went down the channel with a rush, Colonia soon being in the lead; 
the two were timed at the Spit, Colonia 11:50:00. Emerald 11:50:40. As 
both were timed from a moving vessel, the apparent gain of a few 
seconds for Emerald is not reliable, and only shows that the two had 
held about even on the reach of seven miles. 
The wind was nearly astern after they had jibed over for the short 
leg out to Buoy 5 off the point of the Hook. Colonia got her spinaker 
ready on the starboard side, setting it on the foremast. Emerald set 
hers a little later to port and on the mainmast. After passing the 
buoy they bad the wind dead aft, so nearly so that they ran out to the 
mark on opposite jibes, as did the smaller yachts astern. 
Which of the experts was right and which wrong was an open ques- 
tion. Emerald made a perceptible gain, and when she took in her 
spinaker near the mark was on Colonia's lee* beam. On the other 
hand, while she had to take in her spinaker boom to leeward and jibe 
over, Colonia merely had to trim down as she luffed around the Light- 
ship, she also being the inside boat. The result was that Colonia was 
timed with a lead of an even minute, instead of 27s. at starting. The 
approximate times at the Sandy Hook Lightship were: 
Colonia 12 43 40 Iroquois 12 54 00 
Emerald 12 44 40 Wasp 12 56 30 
Wayward 12 50 00 Elsemarie 12 58 20 
Once trimmed down, the pair on starboard tack, tbe fine work of the 
day commenced. Colonia swung a big clubtopsail, but it did not set 
properly. Emerald had her club set over the jlbheader, the tack started 
on both. The clubtopsail was not tacked down, and after about 15 min- 
utes on the wind she lowered it. There was no question between the 
two in carrying power; while Emerald came home without her club- 
topsail, and at times with the two working topsails clewed down, Co- 
lonia easily carried her clubtopsail, though she had it shaking much 
of the time, and gained little by it. She showed, however, ample 
power to carry her racing rig at all times. 
The first development on the wind was the pointing of Emerald, 
very much higher than that of Colonia. At 12:51:00 Colonia went on 
port tack and crossed Emerald's bows, at once tacking again on her 
weather. At 12:55:00 Emerald went on port tack only to find Colonia 
to windward again. When she went about Colonia's foregaff fouled 
the springstay, and after holding along for a few minutes she went 
about and slacked her halyards to clear it, leaving Emerald free, she 
holding her port tack and soon lowering her clubtopsail. They parted 
now, on opposite tacks, and then both went about, coming together at 
about 1:10:00, when Emerald crossed Colonia's bows. To all appear- 
ances Colonia was doing better work on the port than on the starboard 
tack. She did not point with Emerald, and she was luffed up at times, 
presumably to set up halyards and sheets. They stood on toward the 
Highlands, Emerald now gaining, and at 1:40:00 both were close into 
tbe beach off Sandy Hook somewhere abreast of Spermaceti Cove. 
Colonia was to windward, and from the steamer it was a question 
whether Emerald could cross her when both had to tack for water. 
Colonia was drawing some 4ft. more water than Emerald, and this 
probably led her to tack first, at 1:47:00. Emerald held on until it 
seemed as thoueh her bowsprit was somewhere in among the sorub 
cedars on the Hook, but at 1:50:00 she came about on port tack. The 
two now stood up along the beach until they could tack well clear of 
Buoy 5. 
The wind had been much lighter outside the Hook all day, when the 
yachts passed the point of the Hook and started to beat in to the Spit 
Buoy they felt the full force of it, and Emerald lowered both topsails 
to the caps. They were not closely timed at the Spit, but Emerald 
had a lead that meant a gain of over two minutes in the windward 
work. 
Once around the buoys they had a close reach in, a fine bit of sail- 
ing for the spectators. Emerald heeled as the puffs caught her until 
she was far down on her beam ends. Colonia stuck to her clubtop- 
sail while the other was under lower sails, but she gained nothing by 
the big kite. She also carried a baby jibtopsail until the tack parted. 
Finally she parted the sheet of her foretopsail and took mat in. 
While she gained on Emerald, especially when the latter rolled down 
almost flat, she failed to catch her. Just short of the line Elsemarie 
carried away the whole head of her jib. The official times were:

Colonia is not yet measured, but it is certain that she will allow 
time to Emerald; the latter wins a $200 cup. Iroquois wins a $100 
cup; Norota wins a $200 cup; Choctaw wins a $200 cup and Wasp 
wins a $100 cup in the mixed class. 
The race between Colonia and Emerald, fine as were the conditions, 
cannot be taken as in any way conclusive. The older boat is in perfect 
racing form, the result of three seasons of thorough working up and 
successful racing. Colonia, on the other hand, is in nearly all re- 
spects a new boat, the rig, the ballasting and the centerboard being 
all new. She was hurried away from the yard only a day or two be- 
fore the race, with no time for trial, and is yet far from ready. The 
strong wind was also against her in this rape, as sails and gear were 
not yet stretched to place. The showing under these circumstances 
promises some livery racing in the future meetings of the pair.

Douglaston Y. C. Annual Regatta. 
DOUGLASTON— LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June IS. 
The annual regatta of the Douglaston Y. O. was sailed on June 13 
in a fresh breeze from N.E. which fell before the larger yachts had 
finished in the afternoon; the smaller craft had enough to make a very 
fine race. 
Among the starters in the 15ft. class was Ideal, a new boat designed 
by W. P. Stephens for H. O. Havemeyer, Jr., and built by the Spald- 
ing-St. Lawrence Boat Co. She came down from the St. Lawrence 
by rail and was rigged and launched on Thursday afternoon. She is 
similar to Ethelwynn, but with 2in. more beam and a larger sail plan. 
She is very handsomely finished, the deck of Spanish cedar and the 
topsides in white enamel. Her rig is similar to Ethelwynn, with silk 
sails by Wilson & Griffin. The courses were: 
Classes 1, 2 and 3, from line between the club house and a stakeboat 
anchored in Little Neck Bay around Gangway buoy, to be left on 
starboard hand; thence to starting line, leaving stakeboat on port 
hand; thence to Gangway buoy, leaving it on starboard hand; thence 
to starting point, stakeboat on starboard hand; about 20 miles. 
Class 5, from a line between the club house and a stakeboat an- 
chored in Little Neck Bay, around Gangway Buoy, to be left on star- 
board hand to starting point, leaving stakeboat on port hand, around 
a stakeboat anchored in Pelham Bay, opposite Stepping Stone Light, 
leaving it on Starboard hand, to starting point, stakeboat on star- 
board hand. About fifteen miles. 
Classes 9, 10, 11,13, 13, from a line between the club house and a 
stakeboat anchored in Little Neck Bay, around a stakeboat anchored 
N. E. of Throgg's Neck, around a stakeboat anchored in Pelham Bay, 
opposite Stepping Stone Light, both marks to be left on the starboai a 
hand, thence to the starting polat, stakeboat on port hand, thence 
around the stakeboat in Pelham Bay, thence to starting point, leav- 
ing both stakeboats on starboard hand. 
The Douglaston Y, C. is fortunate in the possession of a cozy float- 
ing house, which li«s through the season in Douglaston Bay, but 
which on occasions like this is towed out to the mouth of Little Neck 
Bay, at the head of the racing courses. From the house the courses 
-for the smaller yachts were plainly visible, though the steam yachlj, 
Belle Haxen, Com. Hoyt, carried the committee end guests over the 
inner course. The race of the large yachts, around the Gangway 
Buoy, was visible only in part. 
The regatta was under the rules of the Y. R. U., with a one-gun 
start in all classes. The first gun was fired at 12:20, and the start for 
Class 3 at 12:30, Coya going over promptly, with Ellide on her weather 
quarter. The next class started at 12:35, Oconee over first, followed 
by Molly Bawn to windward of Exonian. They all trimmed close for 
the reach across to the Stepping Stones. Molly Bawn held a good 
wind and worked well out from the start. The catboats started at 
12;40, Mary IL going over on the gun, followed by Caper, Violet, Baby, 
Melita. The 21-footers and 15-footers started at 12:45, Ideal, with a 
single reef in, making the best start, followed by OUta, Cella, Houri, 
Paprika, Hope, Ulmec, Question. These and the cats in Classes 11, 12 
and 13 had an easy reach across wind and tide, the latter running to 
windward, to the Throgg's Neck Buoy, a little over a mile; then about 
a mile and a half of windward work to the City Island mark; and 
then three legs of reaching across the Sound and back, bo that the 
race was nearly all a reach. Mary II. held her lead to the first mark, 
the fleet being remarkably well bunched when the small size of some 
of the boats is considered; the little Paprika made a close race across 
with the 21-footer Celia. The order of the 15-footers was Paprika, 
Ulmec, Hope, OUta, Question and Ideal. All but the new boat had 
started with whole sail, and after coming on the wind Bhe shook out 
her reef. 
While Mary held out toward the channel on port tack, Presto stood 
in nearer the Pelham shore, and at the end of the windward leg was 
far ahead. Paprika improved her position on the fleet of 15-footers to 
windward, and did still better when she started sheet for the free 
reach to the line. Hope was about a minute astern of her, and Ulmec 
third, the others well strung out astern. Near the end of the round 
Ideal passed Olita and left the latter at the tail. The order of the turn 
was: Presto, Houri, Oconee, Punch, Molly .Bawn, Celia, Mary, Paprika, 
Hope, Ulmec, Question, Ideal and OUta. On the way across to the 
City Island mark, Mary lowered her mainsail and withdrew. Going 
out and back Paprika gained considerably, Ulmec picked up and 
passed Hope, and Ideal passed Question. Houri, witn a new suit of 
Wilson & Griffin saUs of very light material, easily left Celia. The 
official times were:
