American Y. O. Annual Regattai 
MILTON POINT— LONG ISL4ND SOUND. 
Tuesday, July 6. 
The annual regatta of the American Y. C. was sailed on 
July 6, starting off Milton Point, the club station. The 
course was a triangle, the marks being Parsonage Point, 
Red Springs and Larchmont Harbor; the starting line was 
in the middle of one side, the yachts going first to Parsonage 
Point. As it happened, the wind was so light that but one 
round, 10% miles, was sailed. The start was postponed until 
1 P. M., the classes being timed: 
1:10, 51ft. class— Syce. ' 
1:15, 36 and 30ft. classes— Hera, Musme, Vaquero, Veda, 
Wa Wa, Surprise and Acushla. 
1:20, 30ft. catboats and 25ft. sloops — Volsung, Dorothy, 
Vaquero, Houri and Skimmaug. 
1:20, 25ft. catboats and 20ft, sloops— Momo, Shark, Colleen, 
Brant, Punch, Ethel, Sequel and Zelica. 
1:30, 20ft. catboats and 15ft. sloops — Laura Lee, Dorothy 
and Caprice. 
With the wind S.W. by W., sheets were eased to port and 
some of the yachts set spinakers for the short half-leg to 
Parsonage Point; then the fleet beat across to the Red 
Springs mark, the wind still very light, reached back across 
the Sound to Larchmont and after a jibe ran to the line, 
where they were timed:

Riverside Y. C. Annual Reg-atta. 
TUVERSIDE— LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Wednesday, July 7. 
The Riverside Y. C. this year divided its regatta into two 
parts, the larger yachts sailing on Wednesday, on the occa- 
sion of the visit of the Atlantic Y. C. fieet, while the smaller 
ones waited until Saturday. Wednesday was clear and hot, 
but pleasant enough on the Sound, where a light easterly 
wind was blowing. The courses were triangles, the larger of 
15 miles, from olf the Gas Buoy at the mouth of the har- 
bor, to Matinnicock Buoy, Center Island Buoy and home. 
The smaller from the same point to the Spar Buoy in the 
middle of the Sound, thence eastward to a markboat and 
home, 9 miles. The start was timed: 
Schooners, 1:05 — Adrienne. 
Sloops, Cutters and Yawls over 43ft., 
Nirvana, Eidolon, Eclipse, Sistae. 
Sloops, Cutters and Yawls under 43ft.. 
Vaquero III., Hera, Musme, Acushla, 
Penelope, Akista and Consuelo. 
Both Colonia and Emerald were present, the former 
entered, but as she had no competitor she remained at 
anchor. The larger yachts, headed by Syce, stood o£E for 
Matinnicock, while the smaller reached for the first mark 
and then trimmed flat for a beat to second. The wind fell 
very light and then came in from the south'ard, the third 
leg being covered very slowly under spinakers, the 30- footer 
and 36-footers in a bunch. Vaquero had a small lead at the 
end of the first round, where they were timed:

At the mark with very little wind the fleet was tangled 
up, Wa Wa picking up the mooring line of the stakeboat 
with her fln. Vaquero succeeded in getting around first 
and clear of the others, constantly improving her advantage 
to windward, the first leg now being a beat. The others 
were some time in getting clear of each other. The beat out 
was a very pretty sight, the boats crossing and changing po- 
sitions. Vaquero had a good lead at this mark, and held it 
all the way in. The finish was timed:
