New York Y. C. 
On the evening of July 30 the New York Y. C. celebrated the fiftieth 
anniversary of its organization, which took place at a meeting on 
Mr. John C. Stevens's schooner Gimcrack, at 5 P. M. on July 30, 1844, 
the yacht being anchored off the Battery, New York. On Tuesday 
the whole clubhouse was decorated, inside and out, in a way that did 
credit to the taste of Supt. Neils Olsen, and in the evening a large 
number of members were present, with officers of other yacht clubs. 
The following orders have been issued for the annual cruise, which 
begins nest week: 
By invitation of the Vice-Commodore, the regatta committee will 
make the cruise on the Shearwater. Yachts entered for any racing 
event will display their numbers and private signals as directed in 
Rule X., section 3. They will show no other colors. Club rules will 
govern all races, unless otherwise directed. Entries must be made in 
writing and addressed to the committee, with the exception that for 
squadron runs, crossing the line will be considered as an entry. The 
course will be signalled before thepreparatory signal is made. Should 
a signal gun miss Are, a prolonged blast of the whistle will be given. 
Numbers and extra copies of this circular can be obtained at the club 
house and on the Shearwater. 
The race for the semi-centennial cups will take place at Glen Cove 
on Aug. 6, and will be open to yachts belonging to the clubs, in cruis-

Vigilant's Races. 
At the time of going to press last week, the details of the Royal 
Cork regatta were not known, merely the times being cabled over. It 
appeared in the later despatches that on the second leg of the last 
round the band on the gaff to which the throat halyards are shackled 
gave way, cutting into the spar. A lashing was clapped on and the 
race sailed to a successful finish, Vigilant winning by 3m. 25s., cor- 
rected time. As soon as the mishap was known, Admiral St. John 
came alongside and offered to have the repairs made at the Navy 
Yard, but it finally appeared that the yard had been closed, the men 
taking a holiday during the regattas. The work was transferred to 
the Passage Dry Docks by Mr. L. J. Walker, the American Vice-Con- 
sul, in his steam launch the same evening and work begun at once, 
in order that Vigilant might sail next day. Although the work was 
pushed all night, it was not completed in a manner satisfactory to 
Capt. Haff, and Mr. Gould decided not to start. Mr. Jameson offered 
to wait until the following day if Vigilant would promise to start 
then; but, as Mr. Gould would make no promise, Britannia sailed 
alone over half of the course, taking half of the regular prize. While 
at Cork Mr. Gould offered a cup of American manufacture, to cost 
100 guineas ($500) for yachts of over 100 rating in the next regatta. 
Sir John Arnott, of Cork, also offered a prize of £100 for an ocean 
race, provided the finish be in Cork harbor, but Mr. Gould has not yet 
accepted it, objecting to the proposed finish. In addition to the new 
gaff fittings, Vigilantes mainsail was altered at Cork, presumably by 
Mr. Wilson and the sailmaker who accompanied him. Atalanta towed 
both Vigilant and Britannia over to Penzance, arriving on July 26. 
The Mount's Bay regatta was sailed on July 28, the course this time 
being a triangle of 8}£ mile legs, or two rounds to make 50 miles. The 
wind was light from the south and the water quite smooth, with only 
a long swell on the Channel. The course was a reach from the line, 
off Penzance, to a markboat off Mousehole Point, a second reach 
thence to a markboat off Porthleven, and a run over the third leg. 
With Britannia and Vigilant was the 40-rater Corsair. Satanita was 
in port, but her skipper sailed for Falmouth too soon to receive a 
'elegram from Mr. Clarke ordering her to start in the race. There 
was some sharp work at the start, Corsair going over first and Britan- 
nia leading Vigilant by 8s., being under Vigilant's lee bow. Both 
carried clubtopsails and small jibtopsails for the close reach, the wind 
heading until both had to tack finally for the Mousehole mark. 
Britannia from the start worked out from under Vigilant, and soon 
had a good lead. Owing to a fog they were not timed at the first 
mark. On the broad reach to the second mark, with big jibtopsails 
set, Britannia still gained, having nearly 3m. lead at the Porthleven 
mark. The last leg was run under spinakers, Yigilantgaining a little, 
the end of the round being timed: Britannia 1 :14:22, Vigilant 1:16:30. 
Corsair was some miles astern, and out of the race. 
The first leg of the second round was to windward, Britannia in- 
creasing her lead a little. The second leg was a reach, with a beam 
wind, Britannia still gaining, the times at Portleven being: Britannia 
8:24:10, Vigilant 3:27:22. 
The last leg was sailed by Britannia under balloon staysail and large 
jibtopsail, Vigilant carrying spinaker and balloon jibtopsail. The 
finish was timed: Britannia 4:19:27, Vigilant 4:24:40. Britannia wins 
by 6m. 23s. 
From the reports the long roll of the channel troubled Vigilant more 
than it did Britannia. 
The racers were towed to Falmouth on July 29 for the race of Mon- 
day, Satanita being already there, but on Monday morning the wind 
was again light. Mr, Gould decided that the bobstay was unsafe, 
being strained in the many races, and the yacht dicl not start, going 
straight for Cowes to prepare for the match of Saturday with.Britan- 
nia. Britannia and Satanita sailed a light-weather race, the [former 
winning by 17m. 
On Saturday the match race between Vigilant >nd Britannia will be 
sailed, the Queen being present to witness it. 
From some accounts, Valkyrie will be ready for the Cowes races 
next week under Lord Dunraven's flag and with Captain Cranfield 
and his old crew in command, but a later report states that she will be 
offered at auction on Friday. 
Mr. Herreshoff reached New York on the Britannic on July 26 and 
started at once for Bristol, the many interviewers getting nothing 
from him save a denial of various stories to the effect that he had 
quarreled with the Goulds and with Captain Haff and that he had 
hurried home to design a new yacht for Mr. Gould. 
The 
Nepenthe— Annie Match Race. 
The first sweepstake race between the Burgess 45ft. sloop Nepenthe, 
of the Southern Y. C, and the A. Cary Smith 50ft. sloop Annie, of the 
Mobile Y. O, was sailed off Fort Morgan. Mobile Bay, on July 20, and 
was won by the New Orleans sloop. The course was ten miles to 
windward and return over the deep, open waters of the Gulf of Mex- 
ico; there wai no time allowance, crews were limited to sixteen men 
each. Both came for the line together at 1:15 o'clock, wind S.W., ten 
knots, Annie crossing 5s. in the lead, which she held for two tacks; 
then in the light winds and heavy seas that followed the deeper model 
of Nepenthe showed to advantage, and she took the lead and was 
never headed. She rounded the outer stakeboat at 3:17 and broke out 
her spinaker to port for the run back. Annie rounded the mark 8m. 
later. Nepenthe rounded the home stake at 4:30 o'clock. Annie was 
about 10m. astern. Before she could cross the line a fearful squall 
struck the fleet, and Annie was unable to finish. The squall was a 
very severe one, and for three-quarters of an hour the wind blew at 
the rate of 40 miles an hour. The waves rose to a great height, while 
spray washed the decks of the excursion steamers, all of which rode 
it out in safety. The scene on the Gulf was a grand one, not soon to 
be forgotten. Annie lowered away all her sails except the forestay- 
sail, and drifted about while the gale was at its height. Nepenthe rode 
out, the gale under reefed mainsail. The bar pilots who watched the 
race said she was the finest sea boat they had ever seen. An idea of 
the severity of the squall may be imagined from the fact of the pilot 
hoat dragging her heavy anchor three miles to the eastward. 
The second match race between Annie and Nepenthe was sailed off 
Bishop, Miss., on Mississippi Sound, July 24. There was a 7 knot 
breeze blowing from the southwest at the start. Nepenthe crossed the 
line at 1:01:48: Annie at 1:03:50. The distance was 21 miles over a 
triangular course. Nepenthe increased her lead from the first, win- 
ning by 15m. 59s. She finished at 4:32:28. 
The third race will be sailed at Bay St. Louis, on Saturday, July 28. 
under the auspices of the Waveland and Bay St. Louis Regatta As- 
sociation. 
Nepenthe is matched to race the Mobile pilot boat Glide, from Fort 
Morgan to Ship Island. Mississippi Sound, for $250 a side in the near 
future. The crew of Nepenthe included Com, Alex. Brewster, sailing 
master; C. P. Richardson, owner; N. E. Baumgarden, Thomas Camp- 
bell, Hon. Sam Gautler, Jonas Latill, John Oriol, M. de Fuentes, Jim 
Hopkins. L P. Joung. Crew of Annie included Tom Murray, sailing 
master; W. M. Marshall, owner; Com. Hall of the Mobile Y. O, Lyman 
Dorgan, Ed. Hugar, I. K. Vincent. Tom Cook. Aleck Johnson (pilot), 
Kirk Johnson, Percy Pettus, Jack Norville, W. B. Curran, of Mobile, 
and Henry and Walter Gautler, of Pa c cagoula. 
The Southern Y. C. sails from West End, Lake Pontehartrain, on its 
annual cruise on Thursday, July 25. The fleet will be made up as 
follows: Steam yacht Helen, Com. Thos. Sully, flag ship; launch Bijou, 
schooners Adrienne, Gertie and Louis B. Sloops Zoe, Montauk, Agnes, 
Alice, Lady Luckett, Barkley B., Varuna, Lufki Humma, Gypsy; 
yawl Presto and catboat St. John. The Waveland and Bay St. Louis 
Regatta Association will give a regatta in their honor. L. D. S.

Hempstead Y. C. Annual Regatta. 
GLEN COVE — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, July SI. 
The annual regatta of the Hempstead Harbor Y. C. on July 21 was 
spoiled by calm weather and a misunderstanding as to the course, 
which was described as from the stake boats off club house, to and 
around easterly buoy on Execution Reef, from there to and around 
buoy off Matinnicock Point, thence to finish line. In the Sea Cliff race 
the Saturday before, the sailing rules, giving course designated black 
and white horizontal striped buoy as easterly buoy on Execution 
Reef, and in consequence many of the boats turned this buoy, some 
of them losing time to do so. Others turned the red buoy, which the 
regatta committee claimed was the one that should have been turned. 
Among those who turned the buoy claimed to be the wrong one were 
the cabin cats Onaway and Eloise. As will be seen. Onaway easily 
beat Mary, and Eloise and Kittie had their usual tussle and close 
finish. The regatta committee, realizing that it was their negligence 
in not naming color of buoy, which caused the error, have as yet ren- 
dered no final decision. The chart shows the two buoys to be on 
almost exactly a north and south lina, but the Lighthouse Service, in 
answer to a query, state that the red buoy is 125ft. further east. The 
fact of the two buoys being so close together, ;and actually, by 
chart on a north and south line east of lightiiouse, together with its 
being obviously the regatta committee which was at fault in getting 
up an incomplete programme, may result in the race being resailed, 
which would seem to be the only fair thing to do. The official times 
were, long course of 12 miles: 
25ft. cabin cats.
