Eastern T. C. Annual Regatta. 
MARBLEHEAD— MASSACHUSETTS BAY. 
Saturday, July 7. 
The annual regatta of the Eastern Y. C, postponed from June 25, 
was sailed on July 7; this time in fair weather and a good S.S.W. 
breeze, shifting later to W. The entries were few in number, and the 
racing was practically a series of three duels— Mayflower and Mar- 
guerite, Barbara and Carmita, and Hawk and Fancy. The schooners 
and 46ft. class sailed the 32-mile triangle between Eastern Point, the 
E. Y. C turning buoy and Nahant; and the smaller boats sailed the 
223^-mile triangle between Eastern Point and the E. Y. C. buoy; the 
start and finish fof all being off Halfway Rock. Mr. Foster sailed 
Carmita, his fin-keel 46-footer, while Mr. Harry Howard sailed Bar- 
bara, the Fife 46-footer, also owned by Mr. Foster. Under these cir- 
cumstances Barbara was not eligible for the Puritan cup, for the best 
corrected time over the long course, or she would have won it. The 
official times were:

The Lake Y. R. A. Meet. 
SODUS BAY— LAKE ONTARIO. 
July 3—7. 
The Lake Yacht Racing Association of Lake Ontario, this year de* 
cided on a departure from the regular plan of a racing cruise around 
the lake, and arranged for a meet at a fixed rendezvous', with racing 
on four successive days. The place selected was Sodus Bay. on the 
New York shore of the lake and between Oswego and Rochester, the 
favorite rendezvous of the yachtsmen of these two cities. On July 3 
the yachts came in from all quarters, Rochester, Oswego, Hamilton, 
Toronto and other lake ports. All reported bad weather on the lake, 
a succession of violent squalls, with rain and lightning being met be- 
tween Rochester and Sodus. The open boat Nydia was capsized when 
seven miles out in the lake, but was righted and baled out by the crew 
of Velnette, her crew of four being rescued from a perilous position 
on the overturned hull, 
The first race was sailed on July 4, the course being a triangle with 
five-mile sides, sailed twice round by the larger and once by the smaller 
yachts. At colors the stars and stripes were mastheaded on every 
yacht and duly saluted, after which the American yachts displayed 
the Canadian ensign, which was also saluted. 
The wind was fresh from the west, with quite a sea on the lake, but 
the larger yachts carried clubtopsails. Three classes started, the first, 
40ft. and 25ft. In the first class Oriole, schr., won, beating Vreda, cut- 
ter, by 4m. 20s. corrected time. The two New York sloops, Onward 
and Cinderella, made very poor work against the little Scotch cutter, 
Onward being over an hour astern and Cinderella dropping out on the 
first round. 
In the 40ft. class Yama, Aggie and Dinah made a very close race, the 
former winning. Aggie leaked badly during the race and sailed for 
Oswego after the finish, where she was docked and repaired. 
The 25ft. class had six starters— Nox, Sylvia, Salola, Euroclydon, 
Mona and Mirage, Nox winning, with Sylvia lrn. 23s astern. 
On July 5 the course was laid out 4 miles to windward, the wind 
being strong N.W., two rounds, or 16 miles, being sailed. In the 46ft. 
class Condor started at the gun, and had been gone 17 minutes when 
Pappoose, owned by Com. John T. MoH, of Oswego, and sailed by 
Allan Ames, started in pursuit, overtaking Condor and leading by 6m. 
on the first round and by 21m. at the finish. 
In the 35ft. class Cyprus lost her bowsprit at the start, leaving Vivia, 
Mr. George Gooderham's new Watson cutter Ripple, Alert and Vis'on. 
Viva finished at 1:42:20, Vision 2:06:55, and Alert 2:11:13, Ripple giv- 
ing up. 
In the 30ft. class the times: Vedette 1:59:27, Volante 2:20:12, Norma 
2:20:16, Erma 2:40:23, Mona withdrew. 
On July 6 there was a smooth sea and a light air from the west, 
shifting to east and back to west again. The same windward and lee- 
ward course was sailed. In the first class Oriole was timed at 2:54:08 
and Vreda 3:02:04, the latter winning by 3m. 9s. Onward started, but 
withdrew. In the 40ft. class Yama won, with Dinah second and Aggie 
third. In the 25ft. class Salola won, with Sylvia second. Verta, 
Mona and Mirage sailed the course, but Nox and Euroclydon with- 
drew. 
On July 7, the last day, there was a very strong N.W. wind blowing, 
and a triangular course of 3)4 miles to a side was laid off. The fleet 
was timed:

In the evening the yachtsmen all met at dinner, the prizes were 
awarded and speeches made. None of the yachts started home until 
the gale had abated on Sunday. The timing and records of the racing 
are very faulty, some of the yachts not being measured and no cor- 
rected times being made up. 
The 31ft. Class. 
This new class is gradually working into shape, though there has 
been a general lack of preparation and necessity for alteration on the 
part of many of the boats which has kept down the number of entries 
in each race thus far held. For its special purpose the class is a very 
good one; but there is reason to fear that it, will not be complete and 
satisfactory before the end of the season ; and then that it may have 
disappeared altogether by next year. The race specially arranged by 
the Country Club for these little flyers was sailed on July 7, the course 
being: from the club house boat at anchorage in Pelham Bay, south 
by east, around Stepping Stone Lighthouse, 3 times around, 14 miles. 
The prizes offered by the Country Club were $75 to the first, $50 to 
the second and $25 to the third. With a puffy and variable W. N. *V. 
wind, the course was to leeward and a beat back. Vaquero was over 
the line bffore the gun, but returned for a late start. She was soon 
at the head of the procession, and finally won. Blonde and Brunette 
leaked badly and also broke her spinaker boom when in second place, 
coming in fourth. The full times were:

Rule Britannia. 
New York, July 13. — Editor Forest and Stream: The pretty show 
that H. R. Nibs's yacht Britannia has made of our bronze mug de- 
fender has evidently created a class of opinionists who are sadly in 
need of that restraint which is only to be found in a well conducted 
lunatic asylum. The editorials in the Times and Herald of New York 
and the views of yachtsmen published in those papers reflect little 
credit on our sporting bloo«l. When we licked Valkyrie we were 
rather harsh on the poor English for daring to offer excuses, and now 
that the shoe is on tne other foot we seem to tumble over each other 
in our haste 1 o get our excuses on record. Those who laughed at Mr. 
Carroll and derided Navahoe now know how it is themselves. 
Let us be fair, and throw to Britannia a laurel unsullied by excuses, 
unsmuched by "ifs" and untarnished by the slightest suspicion of 
cavil. 
Le rot et morl, vire le roi! and let us go to work and build some- 
thing to beat him as soon as we can. Corinthian.

The race was started in a very b'ght wind, which freshened to a 
three-reef breeze before the finish, but the boats would not reef, so 
only lost time in carrying more sail than they could stand. Regatta 
committee: W. M. McCawley, chairman; P. R. Freeman, J. C. Egbert 
Judges: Louis Bennett, J. C. Egbert, A. G. Dale.

former meetings, very little was said on the subject. A vote resulted 
in adoption of classification by corrected length, four of the directors 
viz , O. B. Loekwood, G W. Luetkemeyer, Com. C. J. Lichtenberg, w' 
Ladd, voting "yes," and Com. H. C. Kendall, H. Tracy and Com Wm 
Gates "no." 
The meeting to be held at Put-in-Bay on Aug. 7, 8 and 9 promises to 
be well attended. 
The most friendly feeling existed among the directors, and all will 
no doubt use their utmost efforcs to bring out a lull fleet, and the race 
committee, composed of C. B. Locdwood, Com. Wm. Gates and Com 
C. J. Lichtenberg assures a grand success, so far as the details of the 
race are concerned.
