SIXTH ANNUAL REGATTA — NEW YORK BAY. 
Monday, Sept. 3. 
The sixth annual regatta of the NTew York T. R, A. was sailed on 
the usual date, Labor Day, and this time in a strong easterly breeze, 
making wet and exciting work for the smaller craft of ihe associated 
local clubs. The entry list was large, 114, but of these only 51 crossed 
the line, off Bedloe's Island, and many of these were handicapped 
through a disregard of the plainly printed instructions. This small 
display was due in part to the customary delay in getting to the start, 
some of the yachts coming a distance of 20 miles through crowded 
tidal waters. Instead of dropping down to Bay Ridge or Communipaw 
on the previous day and being on hand early in the morning, fresh and 
with boats in racing shape, the majority depended on a favoring wind 
and tide to enable them to make the trip on Monday morning, arriving 
before the start. A rough sea on the Lower Bay kept the Shrews- 
bury fleet at home, and a strong breeze up the river did the same for 
the many boats that hail from above New York. There is no good 
reason why this association, with its large membership and but one 
race In a season, should not see a fleet of 150 yachts over the line, and 
by united efforts on the parts of the clubs and individual owners, this 
end might easily be reached, making the Labor Day race one of the 
principal events of the year in New York waters. 
The regatta was sailed over the usual courses: 
Course 1 -For classes A, B C, D, E, and F: From starting line 
around Red Nun Buoy, No. 13, leaving the same on port hand, and 
return; distance, 27 statute miles. 
Course 3— For classes G, H, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7: From starting line 
around Swash Channel (red) Bell Buoy, leaving the same on port 
hand and return; distance, 21 statute miles. 
Course 3— For classes 3, 5, 8, and 9: From starting line around 
Black Buoy No. 9, leaving the same on port hand and return; distance, 
15 statute miles. 
Course 3— For class 10: From starting line around Black Buoy No. 
11, leaving the same on port hand aud return; distance, 12 statute 
miles. 
There was a strong easterly breeze, making a reach out and in, but 
with 8hpets close hauled on the way down, and many turned in single 
reefs, while some even took two tucks. Starting with an hour of the 
ebb gone, there was quite a sea from the tide, and it was rough and 
wet work for the sand Daggers The starters were:

Nineteen were handicapped. 
The way out was marked by a mishap, the Bloop Coquette carrying 
away her mast when above the Narrows; she was towed to Keyport 
for a new one. 
The turning of the outer mark in the sea was a severe test of sea- 
manship for some of the fair weather sailors, and some of the boats 
made a very poor showing under reefed canvas, failing to come about. 
Only one capsize took place, the open boat Mosquito, at the turn. Her 
crew were taker, off and she was towed in by tue police boat Patrol. 
There were several protests, all of which have not yet been decided. 
The Boston 21-footer Exile was protested because the cabin house 
lately put on her was under the limit, 12 high at the side The full 
times were as follows, subject to protests which had not been decided 
up to the time of going to press.

The 215th race, fourth open sweepstakes, was sailed Sept. 1, at Mon" 
ument, in smooth water and a light southerly air. Courses were 14J4 
miles for second class, 834 for third and fourth class sloops, 5 miles for 
fourth and fifth class cats. Interest centered in third class, as Mojava 
came round from Newport, and it is a close call between her and 
Nobska. Mojave had to take out some ballast to get into class. She 
got a fine start in the lead, while Nobska started under the lee of two 
boats. Mojave sailed well and earned the prize fairly. In second 
class Gymnote had it all her own way, while Grilse beat her class both 
on and off the wind. She is now in shape and sailing fast:

Judges, N. H Emming and W. Lloyd Jeffries. 
The 216th regatta, second opon race was sailed on Sapt. 8, at Monu- 
ment Beach, in a northeast breeze, strong enough at start to make 
several boats, including Mojave and Nooska, put in a couple of reefs; 
but the wind lightened and reefs were shaken out. 
The special class included Memory, a Herreshoff fin from Newport; 
she looked in splendid condition but did not point with Chappaquoit. 
Their course was to Scraggy Neck buoy No. 8, Bowbells buoy and a 
beat home, 1 4 miles. 
Second class ran to buoy 10, had a b9am wind to Bird Island and a 
beat home, 10J4 miles. Gymnote with a patch on her side as a reminder 
of Saturday's collision, sailed in great shape. Kalama, Myrtle, 
Venture ana Bernioe had a hot race, being all within 35 seconds. 
Third and fourth classes ran to Pines, had it over the quarter to 
Abiels, a long beat home, another ran to Pines and a short beat home, 
8J4 miles. 
On the first beat boats crossing the flats had a large advantage. 
Fin did not dare to try as tide was low, and Grilse stuck to Fin. 
Result was Dolly led Grilse on this round a few seconds, but the latter 
spun out a lead on the short round She is now sailing well. 
In third class Mojave had given her full allowance to Nobska and 
had ten seconds to the good at the end of first round, but Nobska re- 
versed the order on second round. Mojave made a short hitch that 
seemed unnecessary to many. 
Among the little fellows, Waskite, who has been considered slow, 
sailed for the first time and belied her reputation . 
It was noticeable that though the race was open to all, yet 30 out of 
38 boats belonged to the club and only one prize, a third, went to an 
outsider.

Drusilla and Memory. 
A series of three races for a purse of $500 last week, off Newport, 
between the two Herreshoff fin-keels Drusilla and Memory, the former 
owned by Louis M. Rutherford, being about 36ft. l.w.l., built in 1893, 
and the latter, owned by W. N. Murray, being some 4ft. shorter, and 
new this year. Neither being measured, an allowance of 7m. for 20 
miles was agreed upon. Drusilla has a pole-masted rig, carrying only 
the three lower sails, while Memory has a topmast, with topsails and 
jibtopsails. 
The first race was sailed on Sept. 5, the course being from off 
Mitchell's Point Rock around the buoy off Point Judith, about 20 miles; 
much of it outside in a heavy sea, the wind being fresh S. vV. Drusilla 
was steered by H. B. Duryea, with her owner and Woodbury Kane on 
board, while Memory was steered by Capt. Champlain. 
The start was made at noon, Drusilla leading over the line, under 
whole lower sail, Memory having a reef in her mainsail and but one 
headsail. On the long beat to Point Judith against a heavy sea, 
Drusilla gained 18m on Memory; but off the wind the latter set her 
elubtopsail and jibtopsail, making up 5ua., being beaten by 11m. Is. 
even time. 
The second race, on Sept. 6, was under very different conditions, a 
very light north wind, shifting to S. W. The course was from Rose 
Island around Nyatt Point Buoy, 20 miles, the first leg being to wind- 
ward. At the start Drusilla led, but as soon as Memory set her club- 
topsail and jibtopsnil she took the lead, being 10m. ahead at the turn. 
A shift of wind to S.W brought the two hard on the wind for the 
finish, but an inopportune calm kept the two drifting until 9 P. M., 
Memory finishing with Drusilla far astern. 
The third race, on Sept. 7, was sailed in a good breeze, the course 
being 10 miles to windward from Brenton's Reef Lightship, S.S W., 
and return. Drusilla led at the start and continued to gain, footing 
faster and pointing higher until she turned the mark 6u. ahead. 
Running home free, Memory caught but failed to pass her, the two 
finishing with Drusilla a few feet in the lead. Memory wins the three 
races, the agreed allowance of 7m. giving her the last race easily .

MODEL YACHTING. 
An International Contest. 
The American model yacht Marjorie beat the English model Maude 
yesterday afternoon in a drifting match at Prospect Park Lake. The 
course, a quarter of a mile to windward, wss covered twice. A time 
allowance of 21 seconds was given the Maude. The first time over 
the Marjorie finished 1 minute and 16 seconds ahead, and the second 
time she beat her little rival by 5 minutes and 34 seconds. 
A light, unsteady breeze blew across the big lake from the south- 
west. Shortly after 4 o'clock Herbert Fisher, owner of Marjorie, 
brought his yacht out of the boat house near the reservoir and 
launched it off the float. All her sails were set and she bore off across 
the lake winning loud applause from a crowd of youngsters. Mr. 
Fisher followed in a rowboat. Maude was then placed in the water. 
Mr. Haseldine, her owner, intrusted his craft to the hands of one or 
the lake boatmen. Wm. V. Hansen, of the American Model Y. C, 
who acted as referee, also followed the yachts over the course in a 
rowboat. 
The start was made near the shore at the lower end of the lake, 
both yachts bore off on the port tack at first. When it came time to 
go about, the sailors in the rowboats turned the little models aTound 
and started them off on the other tack. Marjorie with her immense 
sail area was able to utilize a greater share of the puffy wind. She 
gained rapidly on the first few tacks and was well in the lead when 
the steam launch made a tour of the lake. The waves of the steam 
launch proved mountainous billows to the little craft. They bobbed 
up and down, especially Maude, which was closer to the launch, and 
their sails flapped helplessly in the wind. 
Mr. Haseldine with his friend, Edward Hurst, viewed the race from 
the little point which juts out into the lake near the reservoir. They 
were the only representatives of John Bull present. 
"I wish I had another suit of sails with me," remarked Mr. Hasel- 
dine, as he noted the widening distance between the two boats. ' The 
' Maude I knew would not make any kind of a showing against this 
modern boat. It is hardly fair to call it a race. Indeed I had no idea 
of racing her here when I brought her over. I should, however, like 
to see the crack English model yacht meet the fastest American 
mode'. If there were a stiff breeze to-day my boat would do much 
better." 
While making the course the second time the Maude was becalmed 
before going about on her last leg. The tall trees which lined the shore 
at that point intercepted the breeze. 
The cmirse, which it took twenty-three minutes to sail, is easily cov- 
ered in Ave minutes with a good breeze by the majority of boats in the 
American Model Y. O. fleet. 
Mr. Haseldine sails for Hull, Eng.. on the Galileo next Saturday. He 
will endeavor to arrange a regular international model yacht race by 
obtaining the consent of Com. Bruce, of the Kingston Model Y. C , to 
bring the fastest English model to this country to sail against the 
fastest American model on Prospect Park lake. Mr. Haseldine praised 
the American Model Y. C. highly, and was much pleased with the 
course on the lake. The only thing he regretted was the scarcity of 
wind. The time was as follows:

The Philadelphia Model V. C. had th°ir annual Labor Day race ihi 
the cove back of Petty's Island yesterday. There were only three 
entries. Princess, Vindex and Iroquois. There was a light east-south- 
east wind when they started at 3 P. M., Vindex in the lead. In the. 
run to the outer mark Vindex held a better course than her opp inants,, 
and the outer mark was rounded as follows: Vindex 3:16:23, Princess 
3:18:25, Iroquois, 3:18:28. Iroquois fouled the Princess and had to 
make an extra jibe, and then tae gooseneck of her main boom carried 
away, which practically threw her out of the contest. A plucky 
attempt was made to repair the damage, and the boat was held in the 
contest, but she did not hold a good wind. The finish was: Princess 
3:25:18, Vindex 3:26:05, Iroquois 3:29:40. According to the handicap 
rules of the club Vindex wins the race by 3s. 
The Keystone Model Y. C. had a race for 36in. modil yachts yester- 
day in the cove back of Petty's Island, for a silver cup. Commodore 
Porter, of the Philadelphia Model Y. C, acted as judge, starter and 
referee. Over twenty yachts started at 4 P. M. in a light southeast 
breeze, which freshened toward evening, Clifford led off. but was 
soon passed by the White Lily, and after many changes the ou:er 
mark was rounded as follows: White Lily 4:53:05, Clifford 4:52:38, 
Willie 4:53, Scott 4:54:30, Marguerite 4:56, Daisy 5:03, Black Hawk 
5:03:50. White Lily and Scott had the race to themselves, the finish 
being: White Lily 5:30, Scott 5:30:05, Marguerite 5:35:3.9, Daisy 5:42:00

YACHT NEWS NOTES. 
The new bulb-fin 21ft. yacht Ko Ko won first place in the open race 
for that class in Hamilton on Sept. 3,beating the ten Hamilton starters 
without time allowance. Among the latter was the Scalawag, a simi- 
lar craft, which had previously been invincible, having won five first 
places in as many starts this season. The Ko Ko was designed by W. 
P. Stephens, the yachting editor of Forest and Stream of New York. 
Mr. W. G. Mackendrick, her owner, has spared nothing in trying to 
make her the fastest boat in her class on the lake. Her leg-o'-muttou 
mainsail and other canvas was made by F. M. Wilson of Port Jefferson, 
N. Y., her hollow spar by L. K. Young & Co. of Bridgeport, Conn., 
and she is fitted with halyards of phosphor bronze wire, so that her 
canvas when once hoisted will not sag. Ko Ko intended to start from 
Toronto Saturday, but the heavy southwest wind ana heavy sea pre- 
vented her, and she left the following morning at 6 o'clock, and had a 
dead beat to Hamilton. When off Bronte about 6:30 P. M. she experi- 
enced the tail end of the storm that was wrecking things around the 
waterfront here. The sky was obscured by the smoke, and all that 
gave indications of the storm was the crashes of thunder. The wind 
had been blowing steadily from the southwest all day, and when it 
suddenly veered around all the canvas was quickly on deck. Twice 
did this cccur, and in the short space of ten minutes the wind blew 
from the north, south, east and west, aud intermediate points, finally 
settling down to a hot northeaster, under which they made the piers, 
bowling along at a terrific rate, with three tucks in the mainsail and 
the spinaker set. The crew were Mr. F. Leyden, Mr. Bull and W. G. 
Mackendrick. The Ko Ko floats the Royal Canadian Yacht Club 
burgee.

The following challenge, in the New York Sun, has resulted in an 
agreement for a series of two races between the two cabin cats, Mary, 
designed by Mr. Philip Ellsworth, son of "Capt. Joe," and Almira, 
owned by H. W. Hanan. Almira was built in 1890 by Hanley, to beat 
Harbinger, then the crack of the Cape cats, also a Hanley boat. She 
has been for several seasons in New York waters, Mr. Ellsworth's 
challenge reads: "I desire to sail my cabin catboat Mary a series of 
three races against any cabin catboat in the country for a cup or a 
stake of $5 to $500 a side, the Almira, Kittie or the Win or Lose pre- 
ferred." One of the races will take place on the Bay, one on the 
Sound and the third will be settled by tossing for choice. The boats 
are so closely matched ami so well known that the races promise to 
be specially interesting. The first race was won by Almira, on Sept. 10,
