Lake Y. R. A* Annual Meet, 
Kingston — Lake Ontario. 
July 22-26. 
The meet of the Lake Yacht Racing Association at 
Kingston was a most successful affair, including as it 
'did a combination of really good racing with a jolly 
social reunion, and an unusual absence of discomforts 
and annoyances. The port of Kingston is well" adapted 
to the requirements of a meet, the harbor being some 
six miles long and two wide, completely landlocked and 
good water everywhere. All starts and finishes were 
off the house of the Kingston Y. C. the course consist- 
ing of two sides of a triangle, each three nautical miles 
long, the yachts sailing to an outer buoy and back, and 
then to another buoy and back. This gave the Kingston 
people a good view of the entire racing from the shore, a 
point of some importance, as the visiting yachtsmen were 
under no small obligations to the town's folk. In addi- 
tion, the course was an excellent one from a racing- 
standpoint, the landlocked surroundings and easily found 
marks forming an agreeable change from the somewhat 
prosaic job of hunting up buoys which are difficult to 
lay and difficult to find in the open lake. 
The first three days brought moderate to fresh winds 
and bright weather, the fourth failing to some extent in 
the matter of wind, but the races on this occasion were 
decided on the first round, in accordance with the rules 
of the Association. It was always possible to start the 
yachts so as to give windward work to the first buoy, 
and a run back with a broad reach to the second buoy 
and a close haul home. This was variety enough to 
satisfy the most chronic grumbler. 
The most prominent feature of the racing was the 
turnout in the first and 42ft. classes, which sailed to- 
gether with five starters; of these Vreda, the largest of 
the lot, was hardly in racing form, but the rest were in 
excellent shape and sailed to win. Merry Thought, 
owned this year by Com. Jarvis, is a three-year-old boat 
built for a cruiser, a roomy craft ol 46.31ft. corrected 
length and large displacement. She had the advantage 
of the good tuning up and clever handling that Com. 
Jarvis always gives his boats, and made decidedly close 
racing with Canada, now commissioned by Geo. H. 
Gooderham, after a year of retirement, and entered at 
44.79ft. racing length under the rule which penalizes her 
form of midship section. In the first race Merry 
Thought got the lead at the start and. kept it all day, 
Canada coming up very close at one time, but at the 
finish Merry Thought had 27s. the advantage over and 
above her allowance to Canada. ■ Zeima made a good 
third in each race, Aggie coming in for fourth prize. 
The 37ft. class furnished only a couple of duels between 
Dinah and Viva, the latter winning, although a measure- 
ment protest has been entered against the last race. 
The 32ft. class included only old boats, Norma, Erma 
and Nox, the latter going up from the class below. 
Norma won both races, but in the second was disquali- 
fied for fouling a buoy. 
The 27ft. class saw some hot racing. Last year Kestrel 
came to Kingston and won, and was promptly bought 
by Dr. Black, of that place, who went to considerable 
expense to fit her out this season tu compete against 
Verona, a new Hamilton craft, by the same builders. 
Verona proved a winner, but the first race sailed in a 
tame breeze was a neck and neck affair with Kestrel, 
she being at one time ahead. In the light weather of the 
second race Verona had a more decided advantage. 
In the 22ft. class the Rochester boat Pedro had 
things all her own way, the entry list being poor. The 
22ft. knockabout class showed no new craft built since 
its establishment, but Veritas, designed by W. P. 
Stephens, is an excellent example of the type of craft 
it must produce. In a good breeze she took first place 
easily the first clay, but yielded it to Enid in the lighter 
weather of the second race. 
Aside from the racing, the splendid hospitality of the 
Kingston Club and the citizens generally made the • 
meet an affair to be remembered tor a long time. 
Special credit is due to Com. Richardson, Secretary 
iMacnee and President Strange, of the L. Y. R. A., for 
their unrtmitling attention to the visitors, and as a 
result everything passed off without a hitch.

Greenwich — Long Island Sound. 
Saturday, July ^o. 
The Indian Harbor Y. C. made all necessary arrange- 
ments for a good race on July 30, its annual regatta, but 
the weather was most unsatisfactory, in the morning a 
calm, with a hot stifling atmosphere, and during the 
race a severe squall, which capsized the centerboard 
catboats Volsung and Punch. 
The preparatory signal was given at 1 :30, the wind 
being very light, with indications of a thunderstorm 
which were more than realized during the second round
