The oldest yachtsman among the fleet can look back to the time 
when they still had in anticipation their first experience of the 
"yachtsman's ball" at the Pequot House at New London; that gather- 
ing of fair women and brave men, where sensuous music, softly 
burning lights and the sweet summer zephyrs combine to make the 
very poetry of yachting life. There are now young men on the 
threshold of yachting who read the same old stories in the daily 
papers, and congratulate themselves that by next year or perchance 
the yea 1 - after, they may be fortunate enough to. take part in this 
dream of yachting. We hate to shatter these bright hopes, but truth 
and candor compel us to disclose the sad fact that the whole beautiful 
structure is a fiction, not to say a fake. Nothing could be further 
from the dazzling picture that has existed for years, than the stern 
reality, a lot of Chinese lanterns hung about the lawn and piazzas and 
dripping grease on innocent and unsuspecting victims; a violin and 
piano playing "Sweet Marie" in the parlor, to a few whirling couples 
who would be puzzled to say which end of a yacht wont through the 
water first. There are yachtsman present it is true, and real yachts- 
men too, in white ducks and blue jackets; but they one and all wander 
Up from the dock and stand around the wide piazza with an ex- 
pression that indicates a wonder why th°y are there and a wi«h 
that they were anywhere else, until finally a thought strikes them 
and they move swiftly through the hall and across the rear lawn to a 
large building with screen doors on swing hinges, from behind which 
come laughter and hilarious sounds. New London is a very conven- 
ient place for a stop over night, a famous yachting rendezvous with a 
good harbor, but its social features exist only in the imagination. 
Third Squadron Run. 
NEW LONDON TO NEWPORT. 
Thursday, Aug. 9. 
There was no wind on Thursday morning, but by 9 o'clock a light 
5. W. air was stirring, and the starting signal was given at 9:20. The 
fleet had increased by the addition of Constellation, Mayflower and 
Volunteer, the latter making a classmate for Navahoe. Her new rig, 
however, is so unsatisfactory that she is not racing, except on the 
runs; and no comparison between her and the newer boat is possible. 
The three miles to Eace Rock was a close reach, then sheets were 
started and balloon topsails set, and later, with a very light breeze, 
these were supplemented by spinakers. 
When nearin^ Point Judith tne wind freshened and good time ivas 
made to the fiDish bv theleatiers, but a thunder squall from the N.W., 
with rain and lightning, preceded by a calm, hindered the later boats.

Goelet Cups. 
NEWPORT— BLOCK ISLAND COURSE. 
Friday, Aug. 10. 
As races go, the Goelet cup race of 1894 may be set down as a suc- 
cess, the schooner racing was good, especially for this season, with a 
fleet of eight fast yachts, and an average of 9 knots over the course, 
and though the single-stick division was a disappointment, the race as 
a whole was far better than last year. The victory of Emerald will be 
gratifying to a great many yachtsmen who have watched the gradual 
working up of the boat this season after her poor performance last 
year and in the early races of last June as well. Now that she is in 
proper trim, with good sails and good handling, she is making a record 
that her designer, Mr. Wintringham, may well be proud of. The ab- 
sence of Volunteer in the singlestick class robbed it of all interest, the 
great difference in size between Navahoe and her competitors, as well 
as the disparity in every way between Queen Mab and the 46-footers, 
making a tame and inconclusive race. Navahoe's allowance to Wasp 
would be about 35m., the former not being measured, and Navahoe 
covered the course of 38 miles in 55m. less time or 20m. more than her 
allowance. The known speed of Wasp and Gloriana,bothvery fast boats 
in their class, would indicate that, however fast Navahoe may be, no 
allowance tables can ever make an interesting or conclusive race be- 
tween boats which differ so greatly in size. 
The starters far the two cups offered by Mr. Ogden Goelet, of $1,000 
for schooners and $500 for cutters and sloops, were:

to Brenton's Reef Lightship with clubtopsails aloft only to drift about 
and wait for wind. About 1 o'clock a light S.E. breeze came in and 
the signals were set for the Block Island course, 13 miles to a buoy off 
Block Island, 18 miles to a buoy off West, Island, and 6J£ miles home.

Fourth Squadron Run. 
NEWPORT TO VTSKYARD HAVEN. 
Saturday, Aug. 11. 
The run to the Vineyard was made on Saturday, the racing being 
quite on a par with that of last year over the same course, a sort of 
wind sandwich made up of a breeze at the start and finish and a fine 
large slice of calm in the middle. The calm was varied by streaks of 
wind which favored some yachts and skipped others, making the run 
a very dull affair. The official times were:

VINEYARD HAVEN TO NEW BEDFORD. 
Monday, Aug. IS. 
After a quiet Sunday at Cottage City, an early start was called on 
Monday, and the gun was fired at 8:20 A. M. After a blow on Sunday- 
night, the wind, from the east, fell light in the morning, while it rained 
hard until the afternoon. The run up Vineyard Sound was made 
under spinakers, sheets being trimmed for a close reach after passing 
through Quick's Hole. The sun appeared for a short time near the 
finish and then the clouds closed in again. The official times of the

board the flagship, after which the rowing races were called. The 
cutter race, for the Owl colors, was won by Crusader's boat, with 
Atlantic second and Oriole third. The dinghy race was won by Repub- 
lic, with Merlin second, Iroquis third, and Harbinger fourth. The gig 
race, for the Gamecock colors, was won by Katrina, with Merlin sec- 
ond and Alert third. The naphtha launch race was won by Dagmar. 
with Shearwater second and Iroquois third. On Tuesday the last run

Starting, as usual over this course, on the port tack, all stood in for 
the Narragansett shore, but after a little time the wind came out 
S.W., making a beat to the first mark. Navahoe easily led the fleet, 
but the little Queen Mab fought hard for second place and turned the 
weather mark ahead of the schooners and with the three 46-footers 
m\\ ftSftrp, Tb§ unofficial tfmee at the Blpck Jsland, paark were; 
The Cowes week of 1894, after all its brilliant promise, has proved 
but a fiasco, the only exciting features being the matches between 
Vigilant and Britannia, in the Royal London Y. C. regatta on Monday, 
in which Vigilant won easily, around the Isle of Wight, and in the 
Royal Yacht Squadron of Thursday, over the same course as the pri- 
vate match on the previous Saturday, in which Britannia turned the 
tables and won in "Vigilant weather." The event of Tuesday was the 
Queen's cup race, open only to yachts of the Squadron, so that Vigi- 
lant and Satanita were barred, the starters being Britannia. Carina, 
L'Esperance, Castanet, Meteor and Mohawk. The course was first 
to the westward from Cowes, around a buoy off Lymtngton, then back 
and well to the eastward, around the Bullock Patch Buoy, beyond the 
Warner, and home, fifty miles. Carina won easily, the race being a 
handicap. Britannia was over the line too soon but did not return in 
answer to the recall signal, so was disqualified. 
After Monday's race Vigilant went to Southampton to dock and re- 
pair any damages caused by the grounding off Ventnor, but no dock 
was vacant, so divers were sent down, who reported the lead some- 
what injured. They smoothed it off as much as possible and the 
yacht was towed over to Cowes in time for Wednesday's race, also a 
V. R. S. regatta, in which she was to meet Britannia, Meteor and Sat- 
anita, 
Britannia, after the Queen's cup race of Tuesday, was obliged to 
dock, her keel being: aiso injured, so was not on band on Wednesday 
morning. A meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron was held on Tues- 
day and several candidates elected, but Mr. A. D. Clarke, owner of 
Satanita, a well-known racing yachtsman, proposed by the Prince of 
Wales, was blackballed. In consequence of this unpleasant incident, 
Mr. Clarke not unnaturally decided to do no racing in. the R. Y. S. 
regattas, and left Cowes with his yacht. This left only Vigilant and 
Meteor; and, as the conditions originally called for three starters, 
there was no race. Later in the day Mr. Gould was invited to sail 
over for half the prize, but declined to do so. The dav was cold and 
rainy, but with a strong wind and some sea. Vigilant was under way 
with guests aboard during the day. 
The third race of the R. Y. S , for the Town cup, £100, on Thursday, 
Aug. 8, was over the Lepe and Warner course, as on Saturday, the 
wind being fresh N.W. and holding through the race. Only Vigilant 
and Britannia started, both setting jibheaders, and then shifting to 
clubtopsails before the start, as the wind lightened a little. Starting 
to windward, Britannia was under Vigilant's lee bow when they tacked 
on the line, and planted herself on the weather bow by her superior 
speed in stays. Britannia held this advantage out to the Lepe Buoy, 
whore they turned: Britannia 10:54:43, Vigilant 10:56:17. 
After jibing spinakers were set to' starboard and carried until well 
past Cowes. then they were taken in and finally set again, though but 
for a short time, being stowed before Ryde Pier was passed. The 
times at the Warner were: Britannia 11:48:00, Vigilant 11 :48:45. 
The course back to the line was by the wind, with a fresh squally 
breeze, and Britannia gained a erood lead, the times at Cowes being: 
Britannia 12:56:36, Vigilant, 12:59:11. 
Beating out to the Lepe Buoy with more wind, Britannia continued 
to gain, and they were timed: Britannia 1:19:10. Vigilant 1:23:53. 
Agairi they carried spinakers past Cowes and reached off for the 
outer mark. Vigilant picking up a little. The times at the Warner 
were: Britannia 2:15:30, Vigilant 2:19:13. 
On the way to the finish, with plenty of wind in hard puffs over the 
land. Vigilant gained, the final times being: Britannia 3:18:05, Vigilant 
3:20:19. 
Britannia wins by 4m. 18s. corrected. The average speed was just 
10 knots, as compared with 11.7 on Saturday; but on that occasion 
working topsails were carried by both yachts, while to-day they 
carried club topsails. The wind was strong and at times very puffy, 
and Vigilant is described as carrying her canvas less easily than Brit- 
annia and showing a great deal of side when she heeled. There were 
no flukes and the race was a fair one from start to finish. 
On Friday the race for the Meteor shield took place, being a sail- 
ov»r for Britannia, and on Saturday the Royal SouthamDon Y. C, re- 
gatta was sailed, but. none of the large yachts started. Vigilant being 
docked for repairs to her lead keel. The reports of the injury are 
very indefinite, but the keel was cut and scored on the rocks in Mon- 
day's race. The sails were also altered under Mr. Wilson's direction, 
and new jib and forestays were fitted, while the yacht was thor- 
oughly overhauled wherever needed. Mr. Gould has challenged for 
the Cape May cup, and for some days negotiations have been pending 
between him and the Prince of Wales for a match of 15 miles to wind- 
ward and leeward for a cup offered by Lord Wolverton, the date first 
proposed being Monday, Aug. 13. The docking and necessary repairs 
of Vigilant made it imperative t« select a later date, so Wednesday 
was named. By dint of hard work everything was ready on Vigilant 
by Saturday night, but the later date had already been agreed on. 
The cable reports of the Cowes races have been meagre and indefin- 
ite, but it is evident that much ill feeling exists between the partisans 
of Vigilant and Britannia among the spectators ashore, as well as 
some of those closely connected with the boat. The complaint is 
quite general that while Britannia has been saluted by cheers, guns 
and whistles whenever she has wou, that Vigilant's victories have 
been received by the fleet and those ashore in cold silence. The atti- 
tude of the Prince of Wales throughout has been most sportsmanlike 
and he has taken Britannia's defeats in a proper spirit, but from all 
accounts the Cowes assemblage has taken a different course. 
Apart from this outside matter, it is apparent that there is a feeling 
that is anything but friendly between some of those connected with 
each boat; and it found vent in the luffing in the Royal London Y. C. 
regatta, around the Isle of Wight, when both yachts went on the 
rocks. No intelligible account of the occurrence has been received on 
this side, but it would seem that Britannia and Vigilant were working 
the shore closely, the former to windward and the latter inshore of 
her; and that Britannia failed to gi«e way, thus crowding Vigilant in 
on the rocks and striking herself in so doing. In the previous race, 
the private match, it is stated that Vigilant, after hailing Britannia 
for room when close inshore, failed to follow the latter after she had 
tacked, but stood on for some distance. If this is true, it offers an 
explanation of Britannia's refusal to give way in the next race. Mr. 
W. G Jameson's reputation as a sharp racing man who will push the 
rules to the last letter is known even on this side; but he has quite 
met his match in Mr. C. Oliver Iselin, the managing member of the 
Vigilant syndicate of last year, who has sailed on her in the late races 
at Cowes. 
On Tuesday the first regatta of the Royal Victoria Y. C. was sailed 
in a strong west wind, the only starters being Britannia and Satanita, 
Vigilant being at anchor off Cowes, her crew preparing for the match 
of Wednesday. 
Satanita won by lm. 10s. corrected time, after an exciting race.
