Racing at Newport. 
The reputation of Newport as a irachting center has here- 
tofore been based mainly on its advantages as a convenient 
iharbor adjacent to good sailing waters, the racing, save thab 
<of the New York Y. C. cruise, being of the most irregular 
a,nd desultory description. Last year, however, a new order 
of affairs was inaugurated by some of the many .yachtsmen 
who make their home at this beautiful resort, and from J'uly 
to the end of the season the 30-f ooters were kept busy, with 
■several races each week. This year the SOfb. fleet is again 
tfound at Newport, and the racing is now on, to last until 
tfall. One of last year's leaders, Asahi, so ably sailed by 
iCapt. Nat Watson, is now east of the Cape and out of the 
racing, and Musme, Raccoon and Carolina are still about the 
"Sound; the Newport fleet, however, includes Vaquero TIL, 
Hera, Wa Wa, Veda, Esperanze, Puckand Dorothy II. The 
first rflce was sailed on July 15, a sweepstakes, the course 
'^being from Brenton's Cove around Dyer's Island, 18 miles. 
The wind was fresh S.W. Puck won by a small margin, the

The annual repott of the race committee of the Se^elwanha^a 
Cor. Y. C. for Imi has bebn, printed in pamphlet form for dis- 
tribution to yachtsmen and clubs. 
AVe have received the first number of a new paper, Land 
ahd Water, published in Boston and devoted to outdoor 
sports, including yachting. The paper is a monthly, neatly 
printed and with some good illustrations. The yachting de- 
partment is in charge of A. G. McVey, "the Boston Herald 
Man," whose introductory is but a rehash of the platitudes 
and set phrases about "handcuffs on designers," "piazza 
yachtsmen," "fastest 90ft. single-sticker," etc., that have 
done so much to impair the standing of the latter paper. 
"The Yachtsman's Guide and Nautical Calendar" for the 
^esentyear has recently been issued by the publisher, M. J. 
Kiley, of Boston. The book has been very thoroughly re- 
vised, and new matter has been added, greatly increasing its 
value. Among the large number of illustrations are por- 
traits of many of the leading yachts and also of a great- 
many men associated with yachting, club officers, prominent 
owners, designers, yacht captains and engineers, pilots and 
furnishers of yachting supplies, etc. The new rules of 
the road at sea are included, with tide tables, pilotage direc- 
tions, and much useful matter of a general nature. The low 
price, 50 cents, affords no idea of the practical value of the 
book for everyday reference about the water.

phia, was held on the Delaware over the triangular course 
in front of the club house at Wissanoming, Pa, The dis- 
tance was about four miles, a good stiff breeze was blowing 
and the race was finely sailed. First prize was taken by 
E-Cho, A. S, Fenimore and Joseph Edward Murray; second 
by Feather, F. W. Noyes. Imp was disabled and withdrew 
from the race.

sailed on June 86 over the regular club course from buoy off 
club house to Wheat Sheaf Buoy and return, six mUes in all. 
There was a moderate breeze. First prize, E-Cho, Fenimore 
& Murray; second. Feather, F. W. Noyes; third. Imp, J. W. 
Hamilton. Jaekala, R. S. Fleischman, was disabled, owing 
to a shroud parting just after crossing the starting line, and 
withdrew. 
Jaekala is a new K-rater just built by her owner, R. G, 
Fleischman, from a design by the well known amateur de- 
signer, H. C. McCormick. She was expected to sail to the 
front, and the unfortunate mishap was a deep regret to all. 
In the races later on the owner fully expects to redeem him- 
self. 
The second record race was sailed on Saturday, July 10, 
over the regular club course. At the start a light breeze 
was blowing which freshened into a .stiff blow after round
