Seawanhaka Corinthian T. C. International Cup 
SECOND CONTEST. 
Oi/ster Bay, July IS, 11^ IS- 
With the present week begins the second series of international 
races established last year by the Seawanhaka Corinthian "S-O. for 
the $500 cup bearing its name. As every one now knows, the chal- 
lenger last year was the English i^a-rater Spruce IIII., owned by J. 
Arthur Brand, representing the Minima Y.O.; while the successful 
defender was the 15-footer Ethelwvnn, of the Indian Harbor Y. 0., 
representing the Seawanhaka 0. T. O. This year the nationality of 
the challenger Is different; the yacht Glencairn being designed by 
the challenger, G. H. Duggan, of the Royal St. Lawrence Y. O., of 
Montreal, and being in all respects a representative Canadian craft. 
She is the result of diligent and intelligent labor throughout the past 
winter and spring on the part of a number of Canadian yachtsmen, of 
whom Mr. Duggan is the leader. After the challenge was tendered 
last fall work was soon begun, designs were made, the questions of 
construction of hull and flttmgs, of possible builders and sailmakers, 
thoroughly canvassed, and every preparation made for the construc- 
tion of a trial fleet. In all of this the Montreal yachtsmen were at a 
serious disadvantage, there being few builders capable of turning out 
the quality of work required, no sailmakers, and no flttings to be ob- 
tained short of the States. The task of turning out first-class racing 
craft of the new type was very much more difficult than in the 
United States a year earlier, because, while on this side such models 
of build and rigging as Scarecrow were available, on the other side 
the only small yachts were of comparatively rough and crude build 
and rigging, affording no basis for experiment. In spite of these dis- 
advantages a large and very creditable fleet of IS-footers has been 
launched on the St. Lawrence, and this in good season for very thor- 
ough trial races. 
From visiting yachtsmen from the St. Lawrence we learn the follow- 
ing particulars of the boats engaged in the trlalraces on Lak" St. Louis: 
All the recognized types were represented, from fln-keel through 
slim centerboarders and more powerful ones to the full-blooded scow. 
The latter was represented by Gyascutis, a flat-sided boat with dished 
bottom and greatly crowned deck, about 2.3ft. over all, 6ft. beam for 
her entire length, 12ft. loadltne, and some 300ft. of sail area. While 
showing considerable ability in reaching, she was decidedly inferior In 
windward work, and in running off the wind displays a marked cata- 
maran-like tendency to pitch pole or upset endwise. The boat in finish 
and outfit was probably the poorest of the fleet, and it is an open 
question how far the rounding off of the overhangs forward and aft 
and a more perfect outfit would have improved her. 
The fln-keel had only one representative— a neat little craft which 
did some good sailing, but was never seriously in it. Sais probably 
represented the Ethelwynn type more literally than any of the others. 
She arrived late on the field, with an amateur outflb of sails and rig- 
ging, and kept on persistently, being handicapped or put tiors de com- 
bat by a series of untoward accidents; so that while she showed evi- 
dence of considerable speed at times, especially off the wind, on which 
. point she appeared to be quite equal to the leaders, she was never in 
the racing proper. 
Bantam is a boat of the Sorceress type, by far the largest of any on 
the waterline and of extremely light displacement and low freeboard. 
As might have been expected, she showed up extremely well In reach- 
ing, but as she exceeded the limit of the class on her first measure- 
ment and had to reduce her sail spread to come within it, she was 
somewhat handicapped for want of canvas. 
Missie Is a flat-floored, fairly hardbilged boat of somewhat heavy 
construction, with a short mast and gaff rig of very moderate dimen- 
sions. On two occasions in a stiff breeze she carried full sail while 
the others were reefed, and like Question performed wonderfully, 
coming in several minutes ahead of the second boat, and at one time 
it looked as if she was to win the series. A moderate craft with a 
good deal of freeboard and deadrise, comparatively short overhangs 
and reasonable sail plan of the batswing typs, performed fairly, but 
was more of a cruising than a racing type. 
The remainder of the fleet were designed by Mr. Duggan for vari- 
ous members of the club, and, as far as an outsider can judge, would 
appear to be experiments as to the value of power, presenting under 
the same general Ideas but little different waterline lengths, and, as 
a corollary, different sail plans. It would appear that the experi- 
ments have been satisfactory to Mr. Duggan at any rate, for the latest 
production of all is that selected as the representative of the club, 
and it is believed that the latest is also the most powerful of the 
series. The impression seems to have got abroad, judging from the 
tone of the daily press, that Glencairn is a light-weather boat pure 
and simple. Perhaps this impression is partly due to the fact that 
her homo waters are limited in extent and depth. Lake St. Louis, 
however, while small, is swept by very stiff gales at times; and while 
there is no room for a really heavy sea, the latter is often short, high 
and choppy, owing to shoals, currents and eddies, and during the 
trial series of races there has bpen a fair proportion of hard weather, 
and the boats have been fully tried under all conditions. It has been 
already said that Glencairn 's prototype, Sothis, was beaten in a hard 
blow by a boat specially adapted to tnese conditions, but there is no 
need to infer that the Canadian challenger is not a fast all-round 
boat. 
The representatives of the Boyal St. Lawrence Y. C, Messrs. G. H. 
Duggan and F. P. Shearwood, arrived at New York on July 5, their 
yacht reaching Morris Dock by freight next day and being at once 
transferred to Oyster Bay by a tug. The challenging yacht, Glencairn 
by name, is actually the flagship of the Royal St. Lawrence Y. C., 
being owned by Com. James Ross. When elected to the commodore- 
ship last winter, Mr. Ross, who had last season had under charter the 
steel schooner Alcasa, had arranged to build a steel schooner on the 
Clyde, but this plan was given up. Being abroad at present on busi- 
ness, he has no large yacht, but left it to Mr. Duggan to provide a 
boat for him in the 15rt. class. Mr. Duggan's own boat, Sothis, was 
not entirely satisfactory, and after trying her an improved design was 
made and a new boat was built, the work being done by H. F. Hodson, 
of Toronto, who sent his men to Montreal. The building was done by 
them at Wr. Duggan's place, the Dominion Bridge Co.'s works, at 
Lachine. Glencairn, nam^d after a ship built many years ago by Mr. 
Ross's father, is but 18ft. 9in. on the waterline as officially measured, 
her designed waterline being Sin. shorter. She is 6ft. 3in. beam at 
deck, with a full, round sweep to the side, ending in an oval 
transom. The lines are rounded in very quickly at the bow. She has 
a wide floor, perfectly flat, a strong bilge and quite a flarejo the side. 
While unquestionably involving the scow principle to a marked extent, 
all relationship to the square box form is carefully concealed, and her 
deck and sides are as round as in any ordinary yacht of the class. 
With this short waterline she carries a sail plan of SQSsq, ft., a main- 
saU of the sliding Gunter type, leg-o'-mutton in shaoe, but set with a 
vertical guard instead of a single pole mast- The jib is rigged with a 
club on the foot. The material of the sails is a heavy muslin. The 
boat carries a bowsprit about 2tt. long, the balloon jib being set at the 
outer end. while the working jib is tacked down further inboard. The 
hull Is a single skin, ship-lapped, and in the short time she has been in 
use the seams have swelled somewhat, making a rather rough bottom. 
The spars, rudder and fittings are all lighter than in most of the 
American 15-footer8. 
During the week the two yachts and their crews were at the dub 
bouse, busy with trial and preparation. El Heirie received and bent 
a new suit of Union sUk sails, a trifle smaller than her old ones. At 
the request of the race committee Mr. Olmstead brought over River- 
side in case of any oiishap to El Heirie. 
FIRST DAY — FIRST RACE. 
Monday, July IS. 
Monday morning found a clear sKy and bright sun, with a bright 
haze on the horizon, but none of the fog that had vexed the Sound for 
over a week. The wind was almost due west and quite light, but still 
a sailing breeze. The two yachts and the club steamer left the harbor 
shortly before noon and were at the buoy by 12 M. Some delay was 
occasioned by the refusal of two fishing sloops anchored on the line 
to shift their berths, but finally the owners succumbed to the persua- 
sion of the committee and permitted the launch to tow them away. 
The launch then ran to the westward preparatory to turning and 
crossing the line with the speed necessary to the proper working of 
the patent log, but the log line was fouled, and some time was lost in 
clearing it. The preliminary signal was given at 12:20, which meant a 
preparatory at 12:35, but it was 12:40 before the launch crossed the 
line to log off the three miles to leeward, E. by N. A wait of ten 
minutes was made to give the launch a safe start, and then at 12:30 
the preparatory whistle was blown. 
El Heirie was to the northward or near the outer edge of the line, 
the Center Island Buoy, while Glencairn was near the inshore end 
marked by a catboat with the club flag. The two kept well apart, 
with no attempts at jockeying. El Heirie set her spinaker to port 
and had it broken out, heading for the Ihie just before the signal, at 
13:55. At 12:55:21 Glencairn crossed the line and ran up her balloon 
jib, at once opening up a lead, her spinaker being set at once. El 
Heirie, perhaps a dozen yards further to the north, crossed at 13:55:26, 
with her spinaker already drawing. Glencairn at once drew away and 
opened out a lead of lOOyds. Spinaker booms were eased well for- 
ward. The run was made at a slow pace, Glencairn opening out the 
distance. Her crew were well to leeward and the boat listed down. 
On El Heirie the helmsman lay aft on the lee deck, the crew to lee- 
ward amldehlps. At 1;30 tl»e balloon gib came in on Qlencaira, fol 
lowed by the spinaker, and then she jibed around the buoy, followed 
a minute later by El Heirie. The times of tbe first leg were: 
Elaused. Gain. 
Glencairn 1 81 04 0 36 04 0 57 00 
El Heirie 1 32 01 0 37 01 ^ 
Glencairn was a little slow with her main sheet as she rounded to, 
and El Heiriecame on the wind with jib sheet slack. Both trimmed 
down for the 8-mile beat with a freshening breeze. At first El 
Heirie appeared to be weathering out on Glencalrn's wake, but as 
they neared Lloyd's Neck it was evident that Glencairn had increased 
her advantage and was doing quite as well as the other in the fresher 
breeze. At 1:46:.S0 Glencairn went on port tack well in by the shore, 
and just two minutes later El Heirie followed, this representing very 
nearly the difference. 
Glencairn held her tack for only four minutes, and then stood in- 
shore again. She worked the beach in short boards, El Heirie doing 
the same. Glencairn however was pulling out a lead with every tack, 
and soon opened a wide stretch of water. 
After passing the dock near the «and factory Glencairn held a long 
starboard tack to the middle of the harbor mouth, going about at 
2:18:30 in order to keep El Heirie well under her lee, but soon making 
another Ipg inshore. When she tacked again, under the bluffs at Cen- 
ter Island, she was able to lay her course for the mark, passing it at 
2:42. 
First Round, 
Tlie regatta committee also make the nnnounoemerit that during the 
"Latchmont Race Week," commencing on the 18th Inst, with the 
regatta above noticed and ending on Saturday, the 25th inst., the 
ocean-going tug Edward Luckenbach wUl be used as the judges' 
steamer. She will leave the club landing every day except Sunday, 
the 19th inst., and Tuesday, tne 21st inst., at 10:30 A. M., and will carry 
a llmitPd number of members and guests. Tickets can be procured 
upon application at the office of the regatta committee, in the club 
house. Those proposing to enter will do well to note that the Larch- 
mont Y. C. is now rigidly enforcing the rule compelling entries within 
a stated time before the race day. Only yacht-i originally entered for 
the annual regatta will be eligible to start on Saturday.

While one boat or the other was favored by the wind when close 
under the shore, most of the windward work was under fair and equal 
conditions. 
Glencairn was rather slow with her spinaker. but there was no need 
for haste. When El Heirie rounded her spinaker went out very 
quickly. The run was made with a light brpeze and a very strong ebb 
tide. The times showed a further gain for Glencairn:

It is an odd coincidence that Glencairn'a time down wind is the same 
on both rounds. 
Glencairn carried balloon jib and spinaker well up to the mark, her 
crew consequently having ti> take them m at the last moment and to 
snug down after Bhe came on the wind, when he should have been bu?y 
with his sheets. Before she was trimmed down and on her course the 
tide had swept her to leeward. El Heirie tonk in her sails sooner, and 
though she barely had her spinaker in when her boom went over, her 
sheets were soon hardened down and she hardly lost an inch as she 
luffed close around the buoy. 
As a matter 'of course, Glencairn held the starboard tack in for the 
shore, though the strong ebb tide swept her to leeward When El 
Heirie rounded, nine minutes later, she took chances on a fluke. The 
sky had been overcast for some time, with a threat of a squall from 
the west or northwest. Only a minute after rounding El Pleirie went 
on port tack to stem the tide out in the Sound. At 3:35 Glencairn, 
close under the shore, but further to the eastward than on the first 
leg, went on port tack and started to work up the shore, as before. 
About 3:50 a few drops of rain fell and thunder sounded in the dis- 
tance, the wind increasing. The skipper and crew of Glencairn slid 
around outside the boat in their effort to hold her up, and she drove 
along into the squall. At one time Mr. Duggan was on his feet on the 
deck, crouching down and steering with a jointed extension on his 
tiller. At 4:08 she lowered her jib and turned in a reef in the main- 
sail. After this change, the reefed sail not sitting well, she partly 
raised her board and bee;an to do better work to windward. El Heirie, 
far out on the Sound, parted her jib tack and was compelled to reef 
in order to steer. 
The squall amounted to nothing, a few drops of rain, a little stage 
thunder and a stiff breeze for a few minutes. At 4:17 Glencairn 
shook out her reef and three minutes later she set her jib. It was 
easy work now to the flnish, the line being covered at 4:44:39. The 
wind now fell and left El Heirie to buck the ebb out in the Sjund, the 
final times being:

El Heirie 5 31 40 2 03 40 4 :36 40 
This bad beating of El Heirie must be laid largely to the drop of the 
wind after the gquall, but the showing of tbe first wind, a gaia of 
7min. for Gi»ncaira, is perfectly fair, and it may safely be said that 
she beat El Heirie over the whole course by 15 to 18min,, certainly 
enough to satisfy anyone. After her performance under various con- 
ditions in this first race, there seems no good reason why Glencairn 
should not carry home the cup. 
When the racers started Mr. Clapham was at the line with the 15- 
footer Yola, cruising to leeward of it and setting spinaker as though 
racing for a record. He chased the racers at a distance for the first 
round and then withdrew. Durine the squall Com. Benedict, who 
was following the race in the Oneida, dropped his alco-vapor launch 
and started out, himself at the wheel, running near to Glsncairn to 
give aid in ease of a capsize. 
The performance of Glencairn under the varying conditions of light 
and strong vrtnds proves her a very fast boat in the usual light weath- 
er of the Sound and at the same time a very able craft in a breeze 
when handled as she is by Messrs. Duegan and Shearwood. That she 
may carry off the cup is not only possible, but probaMe. 
Naphtha Iiaunches for the Police Department. 
The harbor service of the New York Police Department will be 
greatly improved by the addition of four serviceable naphtha launches, 
which will be used instead of the rowboats heretofore employ, d. Be 
fore selecting these launches the department carefully invesoigated a 
number of different motors, among them being the Daimler, the Alco, 
the Globe, the Hirseh and others, and finally decided upon the 
launches and motors as manufactured by the Gas Engine and Power 
Co., at Morris Heights on the Harlem, as the best possible results as 
to speed, safety, economy, durability, cleanliness and comfort were 
produced. 
The launches ordered by the department will be 30ft. long, 6tt. 6in., 
beam and about 2tt. 6in. draft The frames will be of selected sea- 
soned white oak, hackmatack stem, sternpost dove-tailed into keel and 
the counter dove-tailed Into the sternpost and thoroughly fastened; 
planking of selected cedar, copper fastened. A standing roof top of 
wood will be fitted with glass windows arranged forward, which can 
be lowered in fine weather and raised in wet weather for protection to 
the men. Cushions, .steering wheel, lamps, boat hooks, anchors, etc., 
will be furnished ; in fact, the launches will be complete in every partic- 
ular, and built strongly and substantially, and thoroughly adapted for 
the hard service which they will be subjected to by the harbor police. 
These launches will be completed ana ready for the department's 
service by the latter part of July. 
liarchmont Y. C. Race Week.

"Yachts entered for the annual regatta are requested to retain their 
numbers and instructions for use on July 18." 
Tachts on the Pacific Coast. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In the issue of June 37 ot your paper there is a letter from W. B. 0., 
of Vallejo, who starts off by generally abusing the shipbuilders on 
the Pacific coast. As to the truth concerning them I am unable to dis- 
pute, but the fast warships that have lately bean built here speak well 
for some one's brains in designing. As fast lines mean big bonuses, 
the man who can originate them will always be in demand, whether 
English, Irish, American or Greek. If an American shows that he can 
design a fast craft he may be sure of holding an enviable position. 
But it is not concerning these that I wish to speak, but about the 
yachts of our bay, W. B. C. mentions that "as for designing yachts, 
a Herreshoff would starve to death on the Pacific coast if he made 
yacht designing his specialty. The yachts out here are twenty and 
more years behind the times; the only yachtsmen with enterprise to 
pay for a design being George and Thomas Davidson, who built the 
cutter Folly from designs by the late Edward Burgess, and who were 
rewarded by seeing her beat everything in sight, even yachts in the 
larger classes. Yachtsmen on San Francisco Bay are perfectly con- 
tented with anything that the builder will whittle out for them, and as 
for paying for a design such a thing is not even dreamed of." 
Ahl this is news indeed W. B, C must have been spending some 
very useful days of his life high up in the Sierras, a la Rip Van Win- 
kle. T rue, a Herreshoff would starve to death on this coast. But the 
benefit that yachting derives from the class of craft created by such 
men is not lasting. 
It is true we are not blessed by that Eastern ornament, better 
known as the moneyed man, who goes into yachting because it is the 
correct thing, and who buys yachts as he would race horses, so that 
he may stand by and see them sail. 
No, we will plead primitiveness in that we handle, sail and take care 
of our own yachts and have not as yet arrivpd at that state of per- 
fection when we employ a whole flock of hirelings to do what is most 
enjoyable about the sport. 
Yes, George and Thomas Davidson did get a set of line from Edward 
Burgess, and from which they did build the cotter yacht Folly, and 
she did pass the yachts in her class and larger ones, and in fact the 
whole fleet. But then the fleet was at anchor or going the other way. 
To say that Polly is a failure would be draw'ng it mUd, for in none of 
the records of the years she has been in existence can it be shown 
that she was even fast compared with the slowest boat, and was in- 
deed well named Folly. This was not the fault of Mr. Burgess, but 
his lack of Icnowledge concerning local waters. 
As to the yachtsmen being satisfied with what the local builders 
turn out for them, it only speaks well for the builders, for their work 
must be pleasing to those who purchase, by the number of new 
orders. 
Aa for our yachts being twenty years behind the times, this is where 
W. B. C. has been sleeping. Pray, in what age of the history of yacht- 
ing would such craft as the Nixie, El Sueno, Speedwell, Harpoon, 
Thelma, Emma, Truant, ilSolus, Mignon, Catherine and others be 
mentioned f Methinks they come near being boats of the present day.

Beverly Y. C. Second Sweepstakes, 
WKNATIMET— BI'ZZARU'S BAY. 
Saixirday, JiUy k- 
The 234th race of the Beverly Y C, second Open Sweepstakes, was 
sailed off the club house on July 4. 
The weather was the most trying the dub ever met In Buzzard's 
Bay, and for the first time out of about 160 races one class, the second, 
failed to malie the race in time. 
It was almost a flat calm, the faint airs comiug N E., N. and S.E., 
and very fluky. 
Many boats who wished to race were unable to reach the line; in 
the second class sloops. Falcon was ready on hand and Little Peter 
was present, but had left her big jib behind and would not start. 
Colymbus, in the third class, suowed she is fast in light weather, 
and the old Cay ure did well; third prize is doubtful till Alison and 
Sippican are messured. 
In the fourth class the old Daisy won and EIsi took second; and in 
fourth the famous Grilse saved the race by only 23 seconds from 
(Sally, built this spring by Herreshoff for Mr. W. S. Burgess, a son of 
the late Edward Burgess. 
Hebe got even with Imp and Grilse in the little class. In fourth 
class Mr. Brewer gets third if his boat measure.s in the class. 
Courses: 8 miles for second class, "34 for tjiird and fourth classes, 
53^ for fifth class. Wind: N.E,, N. ana S.E.; faint airs.
