FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 8, 1894 
INTERLAKE Y. R. A. 
First Annual Meet. 
PUT-IN BAT— LAKE ERIE. 
While not altogether free from certain serious drawbacks, the 
Great Lakes offer great advantages for sport, which the yachtsmen 
between the Allegnanies and the Mississippi are availing themselves of 
each year to a greater extent. Just how rapidly and successfully 
yachting may be developed on these great fresh-water seas, depends 
largely on the work of organization among the various clubs and 
individual owners. How much may be accomplished by earnest and 
intelligent effort is well shown on Lake Ontario, where the organiza- 
tion founded in the face of many difficulties in 1884, has become 
notable from its success in uniting the Lake yachtsmen and enlarging 
and improving the Lake fleet. How very little has been done else- 
where in the same time may be seen on Lake Michigan, where between 
1881 and 1891 yachting moved astern instead of ahead, though there is 
now visible a change for the better. 
The circumstances and conditions on the neighboring lakes, Ontario 
and Erie, are closely similar, and yet the efforts which have attained 
such good results in the former case have uniformly failed in the 
latter. There are plenty of yachts on Lake Erie, many good yacht 
sailors, and not a few earnest and spirited men, such as Com. Gardner, 
of Cleveland, who have long worked to form a real union of the Lake 
clubs, but unfortunately with little success. One of the most promis- 
ing attempts was made in 1885, when, on the occasion of the forma- 
tion of the Western Canoe Association, at Ballast Island, a meet of 
yachtsmen was held at Put-In-Bay, on the next island, to form a 
yachting association. In spite of all that was done by Com. Gardner 
and others, this attempt proved a failure, and though other attempts 
have since been made at times to revive this organization or to start 
&new, the result has been the same in each case. 
With a wider interest in yachts and racing all around Lake Erie, 
and with a large and growing fleet, the necessity for some organiza- 
tion has recently become still more pressing; and last winter the 
subject was again taken up, with the result that a new association 
was formed, the name being the Inter Lake Yachting Association. 
The clubs interested were: the Citizens' Yachting Association, of 
Detroit, the Cleveland Y. O, the Ohio Y. C. of Toledo, the Put-In-Bay 
Y. C of Put in-Bay, the Sandusky Y. C, the Toledo Y. C. and the 
West End Y. C. of Detroit. The officers elected were: Com., Geo. W. 
Gardner, Cleveland; Vice-Com., J. E Gunckel, Toledo; Rear-Coin., H. 
C. Kendall. Detroit; Sec'y-Treas., E. W. Radder, Cleveland; Meas., W. 
H. Ladd, Put-In-Bay; Fleet Surgeon, Dr. A. E. Claypool. The direc- 
tors for the first year are G. W. Luetkmeyer, Cleveland Y. C. ; Henry 
Tracy, Ohio Y. C; Wm. Gates, Toledo Y. O; J. J. Ackerman, Citizens' 
Y. A.; C. B. Lockwood, Sandusky Y. C; C J. Lichtenberg, West End 
Y. C. ; W. H. Ladd, Put-In-Bay Y. C. The regatta committee includes 
Messrs. Lockwood, Gates, Lichtenberg and Radder. 
When the Lake Y. R. A. was formed on Lake Ontario in 1884, its 
originators, with exceptionally good judgment, looked well ahead, and 
at some sacrifice of immediate local interests, adopted a rule that was 
then far in advance of the times; the results being visible in the fine 
fleet of modern yachts on Lake Ontario to-day, Pappoose, Vreda, 
Yama, Zelma, Nox, Dinah, Vjdette and many more, all the direct off- 
spring of the new rule. 
When a similar attempt at organization was made on Lake Erie a 
year later, the same question of measurement came to the top, but 
unfortunately it was dealt with in a different manner. The rules tben 
adopted were framed with a view almost entirely to the then existing 
yachts of Toledo and Detroit, and all improvements and additions to 
the fleet were consequently discouraged from the start. The rules 
offered no inducement to replace the old boats with better ones, and 
when these old craft gradually passed away, as they have done, there 
was no systematic effort to build up a new fleet on a definite plan, and 
yacht racing died out and yachting suffered in proportion. 
When the same question of measurement came up last winter in the 
work of organization, much the same arguments as of old were made 
on each side, but this time the majority were in favor of more modern 
rules, and the result was the adoption of the Seawanhaka rule for 
both measurement aod classification, the classes being as follows: 
Class A, 50ft. sailing length and over; Class B, 40ft. and under 50; 
Class C, 32ft. and under 40; Class D, 25ft. and under 32; Class E, under 
25ft. Whether or no a better rule may be discovered in the future, or 
these are the best possible classes under the rule, are secondary ques- 
tions; but, in adopting this measurement and classification with the 
above classes, the new association has put itself in accord with the 
the most progressive of American clubs, and has opened the way to 
tb*» improvement and building up of its fleet by yachts of modern type. 
The advantages of Put-In-Bay in every way as a point of rendezvous, 
in a fairly central location, convenient to Detroit, Toledo and San- 
dusky, though not so accessible to the Cleveland yachts; with a fine 
harbor, good shore accommodations and attractions, and open courses, 
all urged its selection for the inaugural meet; and the following pro- 
gramme was arranged: Rendezvous on Monday, Aug. 6; luesday, 
classes A, B and D; Wednesday, classes Cand E and naphtha launches, 
the racing being followed by a ball at night; Thursday, race for all 
yachts in one class, the fleet calliog at Kelley's Island on the return; 
Friday, banquet and presentation of prizes. Special races were pro- 
vided for' catboats, canoe-yawls, rowing boats, etc., should any ap- 
pear. The various prizes were: Open race, $50; classes A, B and C, 
each $40 and $20; class D, $25 and $10; class E, $20 and $10; naphtha 
launches, champion flag for first and silver cup for second prize. The 
first prize in each class was accompanied by a champion flag. One 
special prize was offered, the Cleveland World cup, for classes D and 
E, to be held after being twice won. 
On Sunday and Monday yachts came flocking in from all quarters 
until there were fifty in the historic harbor, besides many launches, 
sailboats and other small craft. The racing began on Tuesday morn- 
ing, the wind being very light S. >V. The course was a triangle with 7- 
ruile sides for class B, there being no starters in class A, that for class 
D being 7 miles out and return. The start was made at 10:58, Neva of 
Cleveland soon taking the lead. After a little while the wind fell com- 
pletely and the race was declared off for the day. 
On Wednesday, in order to make sure of the good S.W. breeze that 
was blowing at colors, an early start was called, the preparatory signal 
being fired at 8:24, with the start for Class B 10 minutes later. The 
starters were Sultana, Neva, Surprise, Scorpion, City of the Straits 
and Dinah, the latter from Hamilton, the smart little cutter designed 
and built by Thos. Dalton for the late Mr. Mallock. The first leg was 
a reach, with plenty of wind in the balloon jibtopsails, Neva coming to 
grief almost at the start, her topmast going at the cap, while the 
masthead was also sprung, compelling her to withdraw. 
The order at the first mark was Sultana, City of the Straits, Sur- 
prise Dinah and Scorpion ; but before the boats had gone far in a hard 
hammer to windward, there was a second "surprise" in the race; the 
trim Canadian cutter clawing out from under her rivals and passing 
them in succession until she had a clear 8 minutes' lead on Sultana 
when she started sheet and broke out spinaker at the second mark. 
Off the wind she also gained, coming In an easy winner after a well- 
sailed race. 
The smaller class had fifteen starters. Chinook, Lotus, Huntress, 
Orescent, Com. Gardner, Marie, Henrietta and Iris in Class D, and also 
in Class E, for the World cup, Brownie, Whim, Laurene, Grayling, 
Alert and Arab.- The course was less satisfactory than that of the 
larger boats, as it proved a reach out and back, coming home with 
sheets well lifted. Chinook took the lead, with Brownie second, Com. 
Gardner third and Marie fourth, Laurene losing her topmast. Run- 
ning in, Com. Gardner went ahead to second berth, Chinook being 
ahead by 7m. at the finish.

After a cloudy sunset the wind shifted during the night to N.E. and 
piped up hard, making a heavy sea on the lake next morning, while it 
stui held its strength, a good gaff topsail breeze. Neva's crew, after 
giving up on Wednesday, turned to over a new topmast, but finally 
gave it up, as the mast feppeared to be weak. On Thursday morning, 
however, they repented, and hunted up a stray pound stake, which 
was lashed aloft as a jury topmast, allowing them to set a jib-header. 
The open race was scheduled, the course being from off Put-In-Bay 
around the north end of Ballast Island and tben to a finish off San- 
dusky Harbor, 20 miles. 
The first incident of the day was a collision between Cynthia and 
Grayling, in which the latter lost bowsprit and headgear. There were 
seven starters, Cynthia, Alice Enright, Dawn, Neva, Josephine, Sul- 
tana and Marie. After a clever start with the gun, Sultana trimmed 
hard down for a beat out between the islands to the end of Ballast, 
working short tacks in the narrow passage. When clear of the island 
the course was a long reach across the lake to the finish. Neva had 
worked out under lower sails only, her jury topmast showing signs of 
weakness, but after easing off she made a shift to set a working top- 
sail and jibtopsail, and began to gain on Sultana, finally overtaking 
her, when a long luffing match followed. Sultana finally bearing off 
after Neva had taken the lead. Neva finished first, although she lost 
her jibtopsail when nearing the finish, but Cynthia proved the winner, 
with Sultana second, the times being:

Cynthia is a shoal wide boat, designed by Mr. Clapham, and carries 
a yawl rig. 
The N.E. wind held through the night, and there was still plenty left 
for the final races, Classes C and E, on Friday morning, the course for 
the first being the 20-mile triangle, while for the other it was out and 
back over one leg, again a reach both ways. The repairs to Grayling 
after the collision were not completed until 9:30, so the start, set for 
9 o'clock, was postponed until 9:40. The first leg was a close reach, 
Josephine leading until near the mark, when Scud passed her, Alice 
Enright being third and Shamrock fourth Running free under spin- 
aker, Shamrock showed up very fast, and ran to the head before the 
second mark was reached. On the last leg, to windward, Scud pushed 
her hard and led just before the finish. 
The race in Class E was less exciting, Brownie winning easily. The 
times were:

Shamrock and Brownie each win first prizes and Scud and Whim 
second. 
Only two launches, Restless and Sweetheart, started in the launch 
race, the former winning^y 1 :55 corrected. This ended the racing, the 
prizes being presented at the banquet on Friday evening, at which 
speeches were made by a number of yachtsmen. Com. Gardner is 
now in the North, being with Prof. Cook on the Miranda expedition to 
Greenland, and in his absence Vice Com. Gunckel was in command of 
the fleet. 
The meet was a success, and leaves good ground for hope that at 
last Lake Erie is to have a permanent yachting association and some 
systematic building and racing The work of organizing the associa- 
tion, drawing up rules, making all arrangements for the meet and 
carrying on the races, has been no easy task at best; but it has been 
done cheerfully and willingly by a comparatively small number of 
yachtsmen; many of them not yacht owners, but none the less inter- 
ested in the success of yachting. The yacht owners and sailors have 
in some cases failed to appreciate the work- done for them, and have 
failed to do their part in making themselves acquainted with the 
various rules and living up to them; while they have not hesitated to 
exercise their inalienable right of kicking at all times. The work of 
establishing new rules is neither pleasant nor easy, and the least that 
yacht owners can do is to accept such voluntary aid in the spirit in 
which it is offered; and to help in every way to make the enforcement 
of the. necessary rules as easy as possible for the officers. With 
a mixed fleet, the yachts not yet measured, some difficulties are 
likely to arise under any rule of measurement; but in the present case 
there seems no reason why they should not be smoothed out as the 
rules are built to and generally lived up to by the yachtsmen of the 
Inter-Lake Y. R. A. 
Model Sailing 1 in the Large Yacht Clubs. 
Glenwood Landing, L. I.— Editor Forest and Stream: Ever since 
seeing a model race of large yachts sailed at Glen Cove a number of 
years ago, I have thought of and been interested in model yacht 
racing. Lately the sport seems to be making headway, and now it 
seems to me is a good time for all interested to keep giving it fresh 
impetus and interest. One of the best of our West Long Island Sound 
yacht clubs is seriously considering the holding of a race for model 
yachts to wind up the season with, and I think it is an excellent idea, 
and only hope other clubs will follow suit and do likewise. I have 
heard model yacht racing characterized as child's play by a few, ig- 
norant of the amount of science and thought which is used in model 
yachting from start to finish. Take the American Model Y. C„ for 
instance, and in its fleet of over forty yachts you will find all manner 
of interesting experiments which have been tried, and in many cases 
successfully. It is science clear through, irom lines to hull and rig, 
and then the sailing of a model yacht to develop the best speed is an 
art in itself. Most of the yacht clubs along the sound are on harbors 
having sheltered spots: often at the club house, just suitable for 
model yachting, and it seems a pity that such an interesting step in 
yachting should not be made more of. Take the New Rochelle. Larch- 
mont, Douglaston, Sea Cliff, or Hempstead Harbor clubs. All have 
excellent stretches of water for model yachting, and if model yacht 
clubs were formed of club members as a sort of annex, every year at 
least one large inter-club regatta could be given that would be a sight 
worth seeing. Then, too, every yachtsman who really understands 
yachting, has ideas of his own in regard to model, rig, etc. To try 
these views on a full scale is costly experimenting, and often what 
might really be very useful is in consequence allowed to go untried. 
With a little skill with tools though, a model of five or^six feet can be 
easily made at a cost of a few dollars and some time, and the idea can 
in this way be tried. I know that I myself have learned much in re- 
gard to models from sailing model yachts, and I consider it an inter- 
esting and and scientific adjunct of yachting, worthy of being fostered 
and encouraged by all the larger yachting clubs. Let those interested 
in the sport be heard from through Forest and Stream, and let us see 
if we cannot make for model yachting the place it should hold in 
yachting. Argument is good; so as a starter I will put forward the 
theory that triangular and off the wind courses are the poorest de- 
vised, and that the dead to windward course is the only proper one for 
match races. If any one is interested enough to argue on the subject 
I will give my reasons later on. By the way, what does the editor of 
Forest and Stream think of model yachting ?

The Newport Races. 
The final races at Newport for the 21-footers were sailed on Aug. 27 
and 28, the former for a cup presented by Mr. Ralph N. Ellis, and the 
latter for the citizens' cup, the third heat. The race of Monday was 
sailed from off Tracy's Ledge buoy, around Butterball Rock bell-buoy, 
two rounds, a fresh southerly breeze making a reach both ways The 
times were: Start 2:25:00.

The protest of Gilt Edge vs. Nobska in the second Buzzard's Ray 
championship has been decided in favor of Nobska, who wins first 
prize, Gilt Edge taking second prize. Nobska wins and holds pen- 
nant, 
The 213th race, first open regatta, was sailed at Quissett, July 22. 
The day opened with a faint northwest wind, preventing many boats 
from arriving in time. After the courses had been set for anorthwest 
wind, it suddenly died out and came in light southwest. Courses were 
changed and southwest courses set. Courses were a run before the 
wind to Gunning Point, and for this distance it was light; but as they 
hauled on the wind for the beat to Wepecket, 8J4 miles, for secoDd 
class, and to Uncalena, 7 miles, for other classes, it breezed up strongly 
and reefs were soon in order on most of the boats. 
In second class the new Kalama did very well, whileMyrtle, Anonyma, 
Gymnote and Bernice made a very close race, all crossing within 20 
seconds. 
In second class sloops, Squeteague, altered over from a cat, showed 
speed for the first time, and won easily. 
In third class only four boats appeared, and three, including the 
champion, Nobska, sailed second class course and were ruled out. 
Nobska, sailed by a professional, easily made the best race, but was 
ruled out. Scintilla, sailed by Nobska's owner, went the correct course 
and took the prize. 
In fourth class, Grilse, the little Minnetonka boat, showed up in great 
form, beating Fin over six minutes actual time, and the knockabout 
so badly that she withdrew. Grilse has a larger and better sail, with 
a good deal of peak. The original sail had a flat head and could not 
be properly held in. 
In fourth class cats Dawdle was beaten by Ethel, a modern measure- 
ment cheater and really twice Dawdle's size. 
There was a race for spritsail boats, a feature of the port. Judges,

The 214th regatta, third oppn sweepstakes, was sailed at West Fal- 
mouth, Aug. 25. The day opened with a very heavy sea, a strong 
three-reef breeze and a dense fog; it cleared up before the start, but 
greatly diminished the number of entries, all the light weather boats, 
such as Ethel, Venture, etc., keeping out. The fog prevented the 
placing of the markboats early in the morning, and later the heavy 
sea made it stiff work for the small steamer to tow them out, the sea 
breaking over her and filling the boats, consequently the start was de- 
layed one hour. The course was five and one-half miles to windward 
and return for second class, three miles to windward and back for 
other classes. The sea was so heavy that the judges' boat, a very 
large catboat. shipped a sea and soaked every one on board just as 
the fourth class came home. Susan had a walkover and withdrew. 
Gymnote seemed again in her old form and sailed a great race. It was 
much to be regretted that Grilse was not on hand; it was due to a 
misunderstanding of orders that she did not appear, though her crew 
was there, a much disgusted set of men. It would have been interest- 
ing to see her performance in a sea such as no Dyer boat has yet met ; 
those who have sailed on her believe she would have won handily, 
while others think she would have been drowned out. Three boats 
lost men overboard but picked them up unharmed.
