NEW YORK Y. C. ANNUAL CRUISE. 
With the race of Aug. 13 for the special 30ft. class, the New York 
"t. C. terminated a cruise that while pleasant as a cruise has been 
anything iDut successful from a racing standpoint. A fairly large fleet 
has followed the flagship for ten days over the usual course, with the 
exception of the visit to New Bedford, this year omitted. Many of the 
yachts were steamers of large size, filled with merry parties in which 
ladies were included as a matter of course; the ready naphtha launch 
has done much to promote social Intercourse among yachtsmen, and 
so far as society afloat is concerned the cruise has been an exception- 
ally pleasant outing. As for racing, in either cruising or racing trim, 
it has not been a success; very few yachts have taken part either in 
the Goelet cup race or the squadron runs, and the contests have 
lacked the been interest that has so often attended them over the 
same courses. The racing of the cruise points strongly to the decline 
of yacht racing in the large classes, a matter that is now beyond 
remedy. 
Second Day— First Squadron Run. 
HUNTINGTON BAY TO NEW LONDON. 
Tuesday, Aug. U. 
The programme of the cruise left the first day's run to be decided 
according to the weather between Morris Cove and New London, the 
latter distance being 64 nautical miles. At sunrise the wind was light, 
but from the S.W., the right quarter for a run, and at 6 o'clock the 
sienals were given for a start for New London. The usual prizes were 
offered for the runs, the conditions being framed as far as pof.sible to 
favor the yachts In cruising trim; but very few owners have sent aloft 
1 heir racing flags for the cruise of 1896. The starters were not only 
few in number, considering ihat this is the great event of the yachting 
year but as usual there were but two or three to a class. The 
starling line was laid out off Eaton's Neck, and t±ie fleet was

With an ebb tide and light 8.W. wind, and spinakers set to star- 
board, the fleet headed down the Sound. As in all long races, tbe 
yachts separated after a lime, sailing in difl'erent winds, all light and 
fluby, si ifting spinakers from side to side and signaling with balloon 
main topmast staysails. For a time the fleet was lost in a light mist, 
and even had the maneuvers been interesting they were invisible to 
all spectators. Fortunntely the wiod, after coquetting all day with 
the yachts, at Inst landed them oil the Pequot House after a slow and 
uninteresting race. The event of the day was the easy win of Colonia. 
Iroquois did good work with Marguerii;e. the fln-keel Carmita scored 
a victory over Wasp, and Minerva, once more in the racing, won 
easily from Uvira. The official times were:

NEW LONDON TO NEWPORT. 
Wednesday, Aug. 5. 
Wednesday wfts much the same as Tuesday— very hot and with no 
breeze at all in the early morning, a light S.W. wind coming in about 
9 o^cIock. 
The fleet was increased by a number of yachts lying at anchor in 
New London, among them Volunteer, Merlin and Wayward. The 
former started early with the cruising division, the other two electing 
to race, Merlin nf course going in with Colonia and Emerald, while 
Way ward took Queen Mab out of the mixed class. The preparatory 
signal for the siugle stickers was given at 9:40, with a start at 9.50, the 
schooners going away at 9;55. The start was timed:

The first leg was a reach to Kace Bock on starboard tack; then 
spinakers were set to starboard. The wind was light and fluky, and 
ttie fleet broke up, Colonia, Amorita Quissetta and others keeping ot£ 
shore, while Emerald kept close to the beach. Toward noon the wind 
Bbifted to the south and straightened, spinakers came in and balloon 
staysails were set. Emerald gained a little by getting the breeze flrst 
and took the head of the long procession. When past Point .Judith 
she set her spinaker to starboard, but soon jibed and shifted It to 
port. Colonia kept up a lively stern chase, but an unsuccessful one. 
The liveliest fight of the day was between Amorita and Quissetta, a hot 
lufQng match resulting in a wm for the former. Quissetta is not yet 
measured, end her exact time in the runs is not known. Phantom, 
schooner, lost her foretopmast,. though not racing. The oflBcial times

Fourth Day. 
NEWPORT HARBOR, 
Thursday, Aug. 6, 
Thursday, one of the very hottest days of the year, was spent in 
harbor, the day being devoted to miscellaneous festivities, "with fire- 
works in the evening," everybody being "there " At noon the fleet 
dressed ship, every vessel in the harbor showing some sort of decora- 
tion. All hands then went ashore to assist in the ceremony of raising 
a flagpole on Washington square, the pole being presented by the 
Lawrence Club, which is housed in the old Perry mansion. The row- 
ing and launch races were held in the afternoon, the flrst race, in 
yachts' dinghies, being won by Amorita's dinghy, with Nydia's second, 
beating boats from Narada and Merlin. The pair-oared gig race, for 
tbe Owl colors, had three starters. Crusader's boat winning, with Hal- 
cyon's second and Marietta U 's third. Some misunderstanding arose 
over the four-oared gig race for the Gamecock colors, an objection 
being made to Amorita's gig as a racing and not a service boat. Iro- 
quois's gig rowed over alone. There were three starters in the launch 
race, from Alert, Sylvia and Plying Cloud. Flying CJoud, with 7m, 
allowance, won easily. In the evening a water pageant and Ulumina- 
tion of more than usual splendor aflPorded amusement to the; yachts- 
men and townspeople. The electric display of mottoes and devices 
was very elaborate, and the harbor procession was a great success. 
Fifth Day— Goelet Cup Race. 
NEWPORT. 
Friday, Aug. 7. 
Considering that the New York Y. O. cruise is the great event of the 
yachting year, and that the race for the Qoelet cups is the great event 
of the cruise, the season of 1896 can hardly be classed as a brilliant one 
so far as the large yachts are concerned. The Goelet cups are not 
only among the most valuable, both intrinsically and artistically, that 
are offered for American yachts, but no large raciner yacht can con- 
sider her record a success unless she possesses one of them at least. 
They are silver trophies, costing f 1,000 and ISSOO each, one given for 
schooners and the other for cutters, sloops and yawls, by Mr. Ogden 
Goelet, one of the American yachtsmen who is just now enjoying the 
abuse of his countrymen because he is building a steam yacht on the 
Clyde instead of the Delaware. Apart from other liberal donations in 
the support of American yachting, Mr. Qoelet has presented two cups 
each vear since 1883, at an outlay of $32,500 up to this year. The cups 
of 1896 were made by Tiffany & Co., the schooner cup from a design 
by Stanford White, the well-known architect, and the cutter cup from 
a design by the artists of the compary. The former is a large bowl. 
With flpures of mermaids and dolphins forming the handles; the latter 
is a Graico-Roman vase. 
All of the Goelet cup races have been sailed over one or the other of 
two courses, one with Block Island Buoy nnd the other with Sow and 
Pigs Lightship as the outer mark. The "Block loland Course," as it 
has been sailed for some years, is from off Brenton's Reef Lightship, 
just outside Newport Harbor, around the buoy ofC Block Island, 14 
nautical miles 8 W.; then about W N.W. 18j^ miles to a mark off West 
Island, and W. by N. 6 mfles to tbe line. The "Sow and Pigs Course," 
over which tbe famous first meeting between Puritan and Priscilla 
took place in 1885, is from tbe same line E. by S. 18 miles, N. by W. 414 
miles, and 16 miles to the line. Each of these courses is a triangle 
with a very short base, and though the first leg is laid oS as nearly as 
possible to windward, a( y shift of wind may turn it into a reaching 
race. In other rares at various limes in the same waters a very good 
triangular course has been laid out, the flrst leg being S.W., or agahist 
the prevailing wind, and this year a change was proposed by Mr. Goe- 
let in the adoption of similar courses, as more nearly in accord with 
the present methods In yacht racing. The directions, as issued by the 
regatta committee, were as follows: 
General Instructions.- Capt. Qoelet reserves the privilege of invit- 
ing foreign yachts that may be in American waters to enter the event. 
By invitation of the commodore, the regatta committee will be on 
board the Sylvia. Entries, which must be in writing, will be received 
at the New York club house up to 10 P. M. Aug. 2, and on board the 
Sylvia up to 8 A. M. Aug. 7. Tlie start will be ofl' Brenton's Reef 
Lightship at 10:30 A. M., wind and weather permitting. Should the 
race be postponed, it will be started on the following day, if favorable. 
The course will be triangular, ten miles to a leg. Club rules will gov- 
ern, with the exception that there will be no time limit. 
Starting Signals.— (Should a signal gun miss Are a prolonged blast 
of the whistle will be given.) N". 1. Preparatory: A gun will be 
fired and the blue peter hoisted. No. 2. Start for single masted ves- 
sels and yawls: Five minutes later a third gun will be fired and a red 
ball hoisted. No. 8. Start for schooners (handicap time for single- 
masted vessels, etc.): Five minutes later a fourth gim will be fired 
and a second red ball hoisted No. 4. Handicap time for schooners: 
Five minutes later a fifth gun will be flred and both balls wUl drop. 
Courses —No. 1, letter C— From an Imaginary Une between the 
Svlvia and Brenton's Reef L. 8. 10 miles S.W. to and around a mark 
S14 miles S.8.W %W. from Point Judith whistling buoy, leaving it to 
port; 10 miles E.S E %E. to and around a mark, leaving it to port, and 
10 miles N. by W.14W. to finish line, which will be drawn as for the 
start; 30 miles. No. 2, letter F.— From an imaginary line between the 
Sylvia and Brenton's Reef L. S. 10 miles S. by E }^E. to and around a 
mark, leaving It to starboard; 10 miles W.N.W.^i'V. to and around a 
mark SJ-g miles S S.W. JgW. from Point Judith wnistUng buoy, leaving 
it to starDoard, and 10 miles N.E. to finish line, which will De drawn 
as for tbe start. N. B —The marks will be floats displaying red flags 
with white stripes. At the finish the SyMa will display a large club 
signal at the fore and a red ball by day; and after dark she will show 
four white lights, hung vertically, and will burn club signals at 10- 
minute intervals. 
On the day before the race an objection was made to this change of 
course by tne smaller schooners on the ground that it gave a prepon- 
derance of reaching in favor of the larger vessels, and the regatta 
committee finally agreed to sail over one of the old courses. The 
entries were:

Of the schooners, Marguerite, Iroquois and Elsemarie, though nom- 
inally starling for the Qoelet cup, had no chance of winning it from 
the other four, but made up a private sweepstafees. 
The morning brought little wind, but by the time that the fleet was 
outside the harbor, many steam and sailing yachts being present to 
follow therace, there was a fresh wind from S.S.W. and a heavy swell 
on. The three schooners in the sweepstakes race carried working 
topsails; Emerald, Colonia, Amorita and Quissetta carried club top- 
sails, but tbe latter lowered hers when outside. Wasp and Queen 
Mab followed her example, but Carmita hung to hers. The flagship 
anchored off Brenton's JReef Lightship, and the regatta commit- 
tee-Messrs. S. Nicholson Kan«, Governeur Kortright and W. Butler 
Duncan, Jr.. the latter acting in the place of Mr. Archibald Rogers— 
f'ave the signals for the Block Island course, to windward on the flrst 
burteen-mile leg, a run of eighteen miles to the second mark, and a 
close reach of six miles home. While working about the line. Wasp 
was in collision with the steam yacht Viking, tearing her mainsail 
badly, while Viking lost her bowsprit. The sail was hastily repaired 
to last through the race, but was more or less of a handicap all day. 
The preparatory signal was given at 11 o'clock and the start for the 
three cutters at 11:05, the times of crossing being: 
Wasp 11 05 48 Carmita ,11 08 27 
Queen Mab 11 06 35 
The start for the schooners was given at 11:10, but just before the 
signal Quissetta's mainsail came down with a run, the halyard block 
giving way; the mishap was too serious for immediate repair, and the 
yacht withdrew. The others were timed over the line: 
Oolonia U 10 41 Emerald 11 11 45 
Elsemarie 11 11 31 Amorita 11 12 50 
Iroquois ..11 11 34 Marguerite 11 13 07 
All of the yachts crossed the line on the starlward tack, but very 
soon went about and stood in for the Narragansett shore, Colonia, 
with her great draft, being the flrst to lack offshore again. For a 
time Wasp gained on Queen Mab, but as they worked out offshore the 
latter managed to pass her to windward. Colonia held first place of 
the schooners, with Emerald second, hut Amorita was nearly holding 
her own with the latter. They worked along down the beach to Point 
Judith, Colonia and Emerald keeping offshore and getting more wind 
than those closer in. When near the point a light fog hid them for a 
time, but they ran out of it and were once more visible, Colonia with 
a long lead, while Amorita was so close to Emerald that the latter 
barely crossed her bows. Colonia was alone at the Block Island mark, 
passing it la fine style with nothing thrown away, and breaking out 
her spinaker at once on tie starboard side, then setting her balloon 
malntopmast staysail and balloon jibtopsail. 
After crossing on opposite lacks, Emerald and Amorita tacked and 
came together again, this time j\morita forcing Emerald about, being 
on starboard tacK. Queen Mab found the steam yacht Peerless in the 
■way as she rounded, but went clear. The tide was running very 
Btrong and carrying aU the yachts on the 1 noy, they having allowed 
too little for it, and Wasp, Amorita and 1< uierald were in close oom- 
pany. When they next met Emerald cross d Amoiita's bow. Wasp 
and Emerald met at the mark, but the schooner gave way. The fol- 
lowing times are unofdcial:

The race was by no means an exciting one. The victory of Queen Mab 
over Wasp was a surprise, but Colonia's work of late had prepared 
everyone for her victory over Emerald under existing conditions. 
The race was a fair one in all respects. Wasp suflFered somewhat from 
her accident before the start, and Queen Mab was bothered by a steam 
yacht at the first turn, but otherwise it was decided on the merits' of 
the yachts. 
Sixth Day— Third Squadron Run. 
NEWPORT TO VINBYAKD HAVEN. 
Saturday, Aug. 8. 
There was no wind on Saturday morning for the run to Vineyard 
Haven. A light breath from the N.W. served to carry the fleet from 
the harbor to the start off Brenton's Reef Lightship, and a start was 
made at 11 :S0. Some excitement was caused by the schooner Intrepid 
drifting ashore near Beaver Tail, but she was hauled off safely by the 
tug N. P. Doane. The fleet started with next to no wind at all and 
drifted all day In alternate calms and catspaws. Colonia was in the 
lead, but as she neared the finish line off West Chop toward evening 
she stuck on the end of Middle Ground Shoal. Her cabin lights were 
open and she rolled down badly in taking the ground, a good deal of 
water flnding its way into the cabin and spoihng the costly upholstery. 
The flnish was an all-night matter, as the times show:

Eighth Day— Fourth Squadron Run. 
VINEYARD HAVEN TO NEWPORT. 
Monday, Aug. 10, 
Sunday was spent in harbor at Vineyard Haven, the yachtsmen re- 
signing themselves to all tbe gayeties which Cottage City affords. This 
year the usual run to Nfw Bedford was omitted, the fleet returning 
direct to Newport, and at 5:30 A. M. on Monday the signal for starting 
from the harbor was given. The cutters were started at 6:30, the line 
being off West Chop, and the schooners at 6:85, the times over the line 
being: 
Uvira .6 85 40 Iroquois 6 42 58

Minerva 6 37 33 Marguerite 6 45 00 
Choctaw 6 39 17 Atlantic 6 45 00 
Quissetta 6 41 29 
Many of the fleet, Including some racers, had gone to the eastward. 
The yachts were hardly over the hne before the wind fell and left 
them in a strong flood tide. Some anchored and some wrestled with 
the tide until after two hours they were just on the line again. About 
11 o'clock a light S.W. wind came in. Wasp catching It flrst. The fleet 
was scattered all over Vineyard Bound, and when tt8 breeze became 
strong enough to start the race in earnest against the tide, the new 
start was a most tineven one. The breeze freshfined as the fleet left 
the Soimd, and a flnish was made off Brenton',« Reef about 5 o'clock, 
but the race was simply a fluke throughout. Quissetta, by good luck, 
took the cup offered by Vice-Corn, Ward for the schooner winning the 
greatest number of runs, and Wasp won the cup offered by Rear-Oom, 
Ledyardfor cutters. Tbe flnal times were:
