[Aug. 20, 1898. 
Corinthian Y. C. of Marblehead Midsummer 
Series. \ 
Marblehead — Massachusetts Bay. 
Aug. 3, 4, 5, 6. 
The midsummer series of the Corinthian Y. C. of 
Marblehead has been one of the events of the season in 
Eastern waters since the infant days of the club, when 
the forties were in their glory and Minerva and the 
Burgess boats fought some hard battles over the Marble- 
head courses. This year the club was in luck, as the 
weather was good — for Marblehead. As soon as the 
negotiations for a cup race have progressed a little fur- 
ther the advantages of Marblehead will be set forth in 
glowing terms by some of the Boston papers, as in 
past years. In view of tliis certainty, it is interesting to 
consider the weather which has prevailed there this sea- 
son, spoiling a number of races. On three out of four 
days of August, however, the weather, though far from 
perfect, was such as to make it possible to sail each race 
with no postponements and reasonably satisfactoiw re- 
sults. There was a very good fleet, both in point of num- 
bers and in quality though the larger classes did not 
show up as large fields of starters as the occasion war- 
ranted. In the 15ft. class there was some hot rivalry 
and close racing between the fleets of Manchester and 
Squam, the honors of the sail-off going to the former. 
The series included three "invitation races" and an open 
race on Saturday. 
FIRST INVITATION RACE. 
Wednesday, Aug. 3. 
On Wednesday the wind was from the east, light to 
moderate, with clear weather. The course for the 30ft., 
25ft. and raceabout classes was from off the club house 
at Marblehead Neck past Half-Way Rock and the Pigs 
Bell Buoy, 10 miles naut. ; for the 21 and 18ft, with the 
knockabouts and the 15-footers, sailed past Gooseberry 
Ledge and Bowditch Ledge, 6^2 miles. The new 25- 
footer Cartoon was on the ways at Stearns' yard, where 
i.ioolbs., about half of her lead bulb, was removed, under 
the direction of Mr. Gardner, her designer, in order to 
get her up to the class limit of 25ft. l.w.l. The start was 
was made at 1 P. M. The final times were:

SECOND INVITATION RACE. 
Thursday, Aug. 4. 
On Thursday the wind played one of its mean tricks, 
there being little of it and what there was from all quar- 
ters, making a most unsatisfactory race. The start was 
made at 1 P. M. with a light east wind, but this was soon 
followed by a calm, broken at intervals by stray puffs.

THIRD INVITATION RACE. 
Friday, Aug. 5. •■ 
Friday proved anything but an unlucky day, in spite 
of a dreary N.E. rainstorm in the morning, which lasted 
until almost 1 o'clock, when the wind shifted to N.W., 
blowing a reefing breeze, and the sky cleared suddenly. 
The start was made at 1:15 with a smaller fleet, the storm 
having kept away some of the boats from Manchester and 
other points. The times were:

a fresh N.W. breeze, almost of reefing strength toward 
the finish. The start was made at 1 P. M. Saunterer 
sailed her first race in the 30ft. class. Jag won the 
sail-off in the 15ft. class. Lynx did not start owing to

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT 
The Dr. Jaeger Co. received many valuable recommendations 
of their elastic abdominal bandages, a large quantity of which 
they furnished free of charge for distribution among our soldiers 
in the field. Many medical authorities gave their approval of the 
action and have written favorably in regard to the benefit derived 
from the wearing of these bandages in the regions where fever 
attacks so many thousands of our sons. — Adv,
