Thb 233d race, first championship, was sailed off the club house 
June 27. 
The early morning was a flat calm, so that several boats were unable 
to get to the line in time. 
At the start there was a trifling N.E. air, fading out to a calm, but 
succeeded by a light southwesterly air which took the boats over the 
line. 
The old Surprise, rebuilt, won ia second class, while in third class 
Colymbus surprised every one by winning handily. 
la fourth class Grilse, as usual, won in the jib and mainsail division, 
while in the cat division Mr. Burgess' new Elaa proved very fast, win- 
ning by 10 minutes. 
Hebe and Vit made a very pretty race in the fifth class, Hebe lead-

Stamford Y. C. Special Class. 
STAMFORD— LOSa ISLAND SOUND. 
Monday, June S9. 
Thb Stamford Y. C. sailed successfully a special race for the 30ft., 
31tt, and 15ft. classes on Monday. Two triangles wpre laid out, one of 
3 mile sides, sailed twice by the 30ft. class, making 18 miles, and one 
of 2-mile sides, sailed twice by the 21ft. and once by the IS footers; 12 
and 6 miles respectively. The first leg of each course was S. W., or to 
windward in a good breeze. The SO-jooters started at 11:35, gniog 
over in a bunch. The 21-footerB wpnt away at 11:40, with Cehaiatne 
lead. The 15-footers started at 11:45, Paprika being first. Gnome 
was handicapped 11m., but started in for a stern-chase. Asahi was 
first of the 30 footers, but on the second leg, with splnakers set, the 
breeze fell, and let the rear boats up on the leaders. The first round 
was timed:

NEW HOCHELLK— MSG ISLANB SOUND. 
Wednesday, July 1. 
The Corinthian Fleet, of New Rocheile, sailed a special race for the 
30ft. and 15ft. classes on July 1, open to all yachts in the classes en- 
rolled in any organized yacht club. The course for the 30-footers was 
from off the club .station. Echo Bay, around Matinnicock buoy, thence 
around the Gangway buoy and home, seventeen miles. The IS-footers 
sailed twice over the triangle from the starting fine past Execution 
striped buoy, then past the Hen and Chickens buoys and the Premium 
Point buoy, turning at the latter after the first round and saiUng the 
second round in the reverse direction. There was a moderate 8W 
wind. The start was made from the gun, the 30-footers at 12-50 the 
IS footers at 12:55. Vaquero HI. led over the line, followed by Hera 
Asahi, Esperanza and Departure. The first leg was a reach with 
booms to port, after turning the buoy they had a beat to the second 
mark, at which the order was: Asahi, Esperanza, Hera, Vaquero and 
Departure. The finish was made under splnakers, Esperanzi running 
Asahi very hard. Paprika led the fieet in the 15ft, class and won 
easily. Tiie times were:

The Payne Bill. 
DicTRorr, June 26.— Editor Forest and Stream: I have noticed in your 
paper for the past few weeks arguments in favor of granting American 
registry to yachts built abroad, especially to steam yachts. You state 
that American-built yachts are years behind the times, and that to 
your eye they are not as pleasing as English-desietoed vfsaels. I fear 
that you judge our home-built yachts by a British standard. How- 
ever, there are Atnericans who can see beauty in the American model 
and in the appearance of our home-built yachts. Perhaps it may be 
well to examine the reason why the English yachts differ so much 
from the products of our own shipyards. An Eagliihman usually 
builds his yacht so that he may take a cruise to the Mediterranean, 
which is an outside passage requiring some days and a very stanch 
vessel. An American builds his yacht to cruise along our coast, where 
the harbors and sounds are nuoierous, so that a lieht draft and speedy 
craft is much more serviceable than a lumbering, seagoing, deep draft, 
square-rigged vessel, which requires a very large crew and is expen- 
sive to run and keep up. Every time a yacht owner wishes to go to 
Newport or up the Sound he does not want to get on board of an 
ocean steamship; he wants a swift, comfortable, economical yacht, 
and I believe that is what our American shipyards endeavor to turn 
out. The American yachts owner who goes abroad In his craft is a 
rarity; he prefers journeying on a trans-Atlantic greyhound, and 
where one has the nerve to sail in his own craft he is heralded from 
one end of the land to the other. 
In appearance, the American steam yacht, I admit, does not as a 
general rule fill the eye of a true salt as well as the British craft, but 
for our waters I believe the American yacht is sup«rior. But few sea- 
going craft hiive been built in this country; however, those that have 
been constructed have proved their worth, several having traveled 
over many seas— around the world in some instances. 
I fail to see why it is just and right to grant American registry to 
foreign-built yachts when the same privilege is denied forei?n-built 
cargo vessels. It seems to me that the Government is legislating in 
favor of the millionaire's pocket and grb.jting benefits to foreign 
labor In foreign countries when it grants to the rich privileges denied 
to the struggling ship owners. am an American who believes that it 
is unfair to permit our moneyed men to spend abroad vast sums for 
yachts when that money could be spent in our own country and 
among our own laborers. Let the yacht be designed abroad and built 
here, or better yet, import good designers and encourage their trade 
on this side of the water by the Payne bill. If you remember, the first 
ships in the new navy were designed abroad and built In American 
shipyards, and the later vessels designed in America were great im- 
provements on the imported designs, placing our ships superior to 
those of all nations, and yet we did not have them built abroad. 
You are on the wrong tack, Mr. Stephans; you should use your in- 
fluence to encourage better work on American designing tables in- 
stead of on foreign ones. There is at the present day near your city 
an academy for instruction in designing and building vessels of all 
kinds, from the largest to the smallest craft (Webb's Academy. Ford- 
ham Heights). Your motto Should be "American-buUt ships for 
Americans." 
P.S.— Will you kindly publish this letter as a fair thing to the other 
side? Richard P. Jot. 
Our correspondent might have omitted the postscript; in opening 
this discussion some weeks since we determined to pursue our u'?nal 
policy of giving a fair opportunity to both sides. We are familiar 
with Mr. Joy's strong views as to a certain end, the revival of Amer- 
ican shipping, and ia this he has our hearty sympathy, but we d j not 
share the equally strong views which he holds as to the best means. 
We fear that he has not followed carefully the entire discussion, or 
he would understand better our position, taken long years ago, in the 
interests of the American designer, and he would not' bring up against 
us a point we ourselves made a short time since, that the new vessels 
of the United States Navy, built virtually in competition with British 
designs, had surpassed the latter. 
After intimating that It is our judgment and not the American 
steam yacht that is at fault, Mr. Joy a little later on admits the Infe- 
riority to the British yacht which we claimed. 
The difference in type between the British seagoing steam yacht 
and the American coasting yacht has already been discussed by us and 
does not enter into the question ; to make it plainer to our correspond- 
ent we will state again that we are fighting the system 01: designing, to 
call it by a name to which it is not entitled, by which steam yachts 
are produced by the firms which are back of the Payne bill. Assum- 
ing that a contract is signed for a yacht of a certain type, seagoing or 
coasting, as the ease may be; the builder ignores the designer entirely 
and starts on a mode of procedure that is notiiing short of a disgrace 
to the name of American shipbuilding. The drafting room is searched 
for all the plans of steam yachts, regardless of quality or age, and 
this collection is put into the hands of an under draftsman, a German 
or Scandinavian, to be hashed up into a new design. Meanwhile the 
foreman of the pattern shop is set to work to hunt out old patterns, 
from which ensines of a kind can be put together at the least pos-iible 
expense. What wonder is it that the result of such work is a nonde- 
script failure, devoid of style and shipshape appearance, faulty in di- 
mensions, elements and model, and with out-of-date engines that fail 
to make the required speed. This is no fancy picture, but the plain 
truth. Our correspondent alludes to the yachts which have proved 
their worth In foreign voyages. Does he refer to Wadena, cut apart 
and lengthened in order to make her fairly safe; to Atalanta, treated 
in the same manner; to Columbia, whose owner has made one short 
trip at sea in her, returning by land ; or only to the one yacht, EJ«anor ■ 
which has made a record for a really creditable performance in sea 
service? Where is the swift, comfortable, economical yacht which 
carries her owner from New York to Newport? Is it Nourmahal, Elec- 
tra, Alicia, Anita, Thespia or the others mentioned? 
We are looking at this question solely from a yacbtlng standpoint 
and without reference to the general issue of free ships; and consid- 
ering that a yacht is a means o£ spending moneyand notof making it- 
that the maintenance of a national system of yachting and a large 
pleasure fleet is of vital importance to a nation with such a soa coast a$ 
ours, and that yachtsmen ask nothing in the way of aid or subsidy 
from the Government, we believe that they should be allowed a cer- 
tain freedom in return. 
Leaving aside all theory and looking at the facts of history, we be- 
lieve that the best interests of American yachting, both in steam and 
sail, will be advanced by a continuance of that policv under which such 
a marvelous advance has been made in the sailing fleet, and which has 
done so much for the American designer, builder and workman 
The assumption that the Payne bill is In the interest of either the 
designer or the workman is contradicted by the every-day facts 
Given his monopoly of the business by the exclusion ot all foreign- 
built craft, will the builder be any more willing to acknowledge his own 
incapability and to pay for the skUl of the designer than when he was 
to a certain extent in awe of foreign competition? Will he, assured of 
this monopoly, raise the wages of his hands above the lowest point at 
which he can employ smuggled foreign labor? 
It is through the influence of the Forest and Stream, more perhaos 
than through any other single factor, that American yachtsmen have 
been brought to a tardy recognition of the very different functions of 
the trained designer and the practical builder; and that the yachts of 
to-day are designed by such experts as the late Mr. Burgess, A. Gary 
Smith and Herreshoff, the builders in the meanwhile finding more 
work than in the old days, when they aspired to combine the two dis- 
tinct occupations. We hope to continue the same work until the 
yachtsman who desires a steam yacht will go as a matter of course to 
the designer instead of sending his captain to a builder. We would 
like to push it further until even the commercial man, slow as he is to 
learn where his best interests lie, awakened to the appreciation of the 
fact that if he would reduce his coal bills, increase his carrying 
capacity by getting rid of ballast by the hundred tons stowed in the 
end of a vessel to trim her, and convert what is too often a very small 
margin between profit and loss into a balance on the right side, he 
must look to the expert designer and not to the mere builder. We 
should like to see the art of naval design in America placed where it 
was fifty years ago, ahead of the world; when this Is indeed the case 
there will be no need of Prye or Payne bills to insure "American shiDs 
for Americans." 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Inclosed you will find a clipping from the platform of the Republi- 
can party: 
"We favor restoring the early American policy of discriminating 
duties for the upbuilding of our merchant marine and the protection 
of our shipping interests in the foreign carrying trade, so that Amer- 
can ships, the product of American labor employed in American ship- 
yards, saiUng imder the Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and 
owned by Americans, may regain the carrying of our foreign com- 
jmerce." ° 
lahcuia life© tfl c»U attention to wbat is eyidantly a mlsprinfc |a 
the fourth line "the product of American labor employed In American 
shipyards" should read "the product of foreign labor employed In 
American shipyards." Wm. B. Colubb, Jb. 
We fear that our correspondent is inclined to treat light'y and fiio- 
pantly that sacred fiction that, in the shipping Industry at Jea^t, only 
American labor is protected by such laws as the proposed l ayne bill. 
Plain as it is to all thinking people, the truth should not be spoken 
aloud, that this great nation that once led the world in tho designing, 
building and running ot whips relies to-day on Great Britain first and 
the northern nations ot E'lrope next for the majority of not only the 
muscle but the brains of its entire shipping business. There was in- 
deed a time when thF> American ship wa'i the product of American 
labor, both in the 08139, the mould loft and the shipyard, but thirty 
years or more of that policy which animates the Payne bill has ex- 
tinguished both the skill and the ambition of the American builder, 
and he is content to quietly open the side gate of his yard to foreign 
labor of all classes, from the desierner and draftsman down to the 
humblest "boat yarder" who handles a shifting spanner or a spud 
wrench. 
The Evasion of Waterline. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
la the name of the designers of Kittle Iini. and In It, I most strongly 
object to the charge of unfair intentions made in the article published 
in the FoKKST and Streak of July 4, entitled "The Evasion of Water- 
line Measurement." As I was concerned In the building of one of 
these boati, I challenge the statement that there was any violation of 
any rule covering the measurement ot the 15ft. class. 
The builders of these boats are certainly guilty ot an offenso, ce 
whioh in all ages has subjected a man to the vilification and ridicule 
of his contemporaries, an offense for which the greatest and noblest 
of mankind has suffered, an offense that entitles its committer to no 
consideration in the court of the present and that can look only to 
posterity for a rational hearing and a just finding. This offense is 
that of originality. Had the builders of these "freaks" been content 
in suppliance to follow the path of imitation, hnd thev refrained from 
striking out broadly and boldly in a new direction, they would have 
failed, as^many others failed, unnoticed; for both curiosity and 
malice abhor the commonplace. But let it be said of them that they 
failed not because they imitated, but because they originated. 
But aside from that, thesejmen accepted the invitation of the Rea- 
wanhaka Corinthian Y. C. and built their boats in good faith at their 
own expense, and the los" entailed by the failure is theirs to shoulder. 
They asked nothing but the opportunity to sail their boats in the races, 
and this the club granted, knowing that while the boats were extremes, 
they did Inot violate the text of the rule. If the party most con- 
cerned, the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C , failed to object to the pres- 
ence of these freaks, what business is it of the outsider to do so? Yet 
their presence seems to have a nettleish effect upon certain people. 
They have wrought themselves into a white fury ovei- what they are 
pleased to consider an evasion of Rule II. of the L. I, Y. R IT. 
No one knows better than I do how difficult it is to deal jastly with 
such a question as that involved in the form of these freaks, but let 
us remember that if men confined their efforts to in-ltating older mod- 
els, and had never made bold;and unprecedented advances, the splen- 
did speed machines of the present diy would not be la existence. It 
has been by a series of such daring Innovations that the American de- 
signer has taken his present position at the forefront of the craft; to 
this spirit of originality we owe our successes, and if In the future we 
are to continue our victories. It will be by a display ot that courage 
which dares to court failure by an appeal to extremes. 
Thos. Fleming Dat. 
The question of the intent and wording of Rule II. is entirely too 
broad a one to be narrowed down to a discussion of the ethics in- 
volved in the designing of two particular yachts for a certain contest. 
Even admitting all that Mr. Day claims for the owners and designers 
of these two boats, and that they were within the letter of the rule, 
there still remains the question where the line is to be drawn, as it 
must be evident that a point can be reached which does unfairly evade 
the rule. If the rule is to be so construed as to make it a dead letter, 
then it were better out of the book; if it is to be construed in accord- 
ance with what many believe to be its intent, then the q'lestion must 
be taken up of what Is a fair line. Our correspondent makes an ex- 
cellent plea for originality and enterprise In designing, the truth of 
which in the abstract we fully recognize. At the same time there Is 
probably no other sport in which the crank inventor flourishes as in 
yachting. It will not do to accept every new invention under the 
broad cloak of originality, but one must use his best judgment and 
draw the line somewhere between the practicable and the imprac- 
ticable. So far as our individual judgment goes, after some consid- 
eration of the theories embodied In the two yachts mentioned, we are 
decidedly of the opinion that the experiment is one that can do very 
little to advance the general knowledge of yacht designing; and that 
the unquestioned skUl of the designers of the boats might have been 
employed to far better advantage in some less extreme line of experi- 
ment.
