The original of our supplement is a photo of Navahoe 
in her first season, 1893, taken on the Solent by West & 
Son, the noted English yacht photographers. 
The new 20-footer designed by Mr. Duggan for the 
■defense of the Seawanhaka cup, and builtCfor Com. James 
Ross by the Yacht Company at Dorval, was launched 
and tried on June 24. She is of the same type as Mr. 
Duggan' s previous boats, Glencairn I., Glencairn II., 
Strathcona and Speculator, with only minor changes of 
form and dimensions from the latter two. 
The following candid criticism was not intended for 
publication, but we venture to quote it. The writer is a 
Clyde yachtsman, who is familiar w^ith steam yachts such 
as that river produces. We should like to have his 
opinion of some others of the new "Protected Cruiser" 
class, such as Columbia II., successor to Columbia I., the 
new warship-yacfit now building at the Crescent Shipyard. 
"A most weird thing has turned up here. It looks 
like an antediluvian whaling ship of Titanic proportions 
I believe it is the new Niagara, and judging by the amount 
of gold leaf I should say it is meant for a yacht. If so, a 
good collision would improve one end of her, and the 
other would come in very well for a handsome light- 
ship." 
CoItmiHa* 
Throughout all of the last week work was hurried on 
board Columbia, and on Saturday morning the yacht was 
ready for her trial trip. Mr. Iselin was at Bristol through 
the week, hurrying matters as much as possible, his head- 
(|uarters being on the tender St. Michaels. At 9:30 on 
Saturday morning the yacht was started from the dock 
and warped out into the channel, but she took the ground 
after moving a short distance. The efforts of her crew 
on the warping lines failed to move her, and a tug was 
summoned, but it also failed. As the tide v^'as falling, 
guys were run off to keep the yacht upright, and every 
precaution was taken to prevent injury to her. She lay 
until the tide rose, at 5 P. M., when she floated clear 
without damage so far as could be ascertained. 
On Sunday morning Columbia got under way about 9 
o'clock, and with a light S.W. breeze sailed down to New- 
port. Here she fell in with Defender, and the two had a 
brief but decisive and most satisfactory trial. Columbia 
started on Defender's weather quarter. The two sailed 
for a short time in a moderate S.W. breeze and smooth 
water, Columbia rapidly coming up on Defender's weather 
and passing her. During the morning the deck fitting 
at the heel of Columbia's bowsprit showed signs of giving 
way, and the trial was soon brought to an end. In the 
afternoon she was towed to Bristol, vv^here repairs were 
made to the bowsprit fitting on Monday, and some other 
work finished up. On Monday Mr. Iselin made the last 
payment on the yacht, and took possession, mastheading 
his well-known red and black signal, and starting in tow 
for Newport. It was proposed to sail with Defender on 
Tuesday and to go to New London on Wednesday and 
then on to New Rochelle. The special race between 
Columbia and Defender off Sandy Hook has been post- 
poned to July 3. 
Shamrock. 
On June 24 the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Mr. 
Jameson, Lord Suffield, Capt. Halford, Mr. Will Fife, 
Jr., and Sir Thomas Lipton, visited the Thorneycroft 
Yard and inspected the new Shamrock. The yacht was 
launched on June 26, kaving the ways at 3 :33 P. M. She 
was christened by Lady Russell in the presence of Sir 
Thomas Lipton and a number of guests. The yacht went 
into the water with a piece of canvas hung oyer her 
counter, but the rumored "petticoats" all around her 
were missing. The tug Excelsior came up to take a line 
after the yacht was afloat and through cai^elessness struck 
her a heavy blow on the port bow, denting the plates, but 
doing only local damage. After the launch the yacht was 
towed to the West India Docks, where her steel mast was 
shipped. She was to leave on Tuesday for Southampton, 
where she will be fitted out. 
Relra, steam yacht, designed by H. C. Wintringham for 
Nafhanie'l Witherell, was launched on June 20 by the 
Greenport Basin & Construction Company, Greenport, 
I., I, She is of wood, iioft. over all.

The start was made off the new club station, Sea Gate, 
the schooners sailing around the Scotland and Sandy Hook 
lightships, while the cutters, the 43ft. and larger classes, 
turned the Scotland. The day was clear and bright, with 
a light S.W. wind at the start, which soon freshened and 
held steady. The race committer, Messrs. David E. Aus- 
ten, John T. Bliss and Louis F. Jackson, started the race 
promptly on time, at 10 A. M. With a strong ebb tide 
and light wind, the yachts were slow in starting, some 
being handicapped as they were at a distance below the line 
when the start was given. Shortly after the start Acushla 
parted her bobstay and withdi-ew. Hera was badly handi- 
capped at the start, and soon withdrew. The times at 
the Scotland Lightship were :

New York Y. C. Annual Regatta. 
NEW YORK— NEW VORK BAY. 
Thursday, June 22. 
The fifty-third annual regatta of the New York Y. C, 
was sailed on June 22 in specially good weather — a clear 
bright day with plenty of wind and smooth water, mak- 
ing an ideal summer excursion for the members on the 
club steamer Cepheus. The start was made off Buoy 13, 
just outside the Narrows, at 11 A. M., there being a strong 
"ebb tide and very light N.E. wind. The starters were:

In addition to the regular cash prizes, the Bennett cups, 
presented in 1871, were raced for by Colonia, Amorita and 
Quissetta in the schooner division, and Vigilant, Queen 
Mab and Gloriana in the cutter division. The courses 
were for the schooners and larger cutters around the 
Sandy Hook Lightship; for the smaller cutters around 
the Scotland Lightship, and for the 30-footers around 
Old Orchard Shoal Buoy. 
With the strong tide and next to no wind, some of the 
yachts made a very poor start. Those which were lucky 
• enough, like the new Lydia, to get promptly over the 
line, soon caught a nice easterly breeze, freshening and 
then hauling to the south, which gave them a long lead 
over the last to cross. Starting with the wind aft, the 
yachts soon trimmed sheets for a close reach to the 
Southwest Spit, where they were timed : ^ 
Amorita 1 21 25 Quissetta 1 W OS 
Queen Mab 1 22 45 Ariel ■ 1 34 .fjS 
Gloriana 1 26 45 Wayward 1 52 00 
Colonia 1 28 50 
On the way to the Spit, Acushla II. passed Syce, but 
when off the point of the Hook the latter was lead- 
ing, when a stronger puff from the freshening southerly 
breeze caught Acushla and she repeated the performance 
of Liris in her first race, just ten years ago and near the 
same spot, her mast going by the board. The times of 
the larger yachts at the Sandy Hook Lightship were: 
Vigilant 1 13 30 Colonia 1 28 
Amorita 1 21 25 Quissetta 1 34 08 
Queen Mab 1 22 45 Ariel 1 34 55

The smaller yachts were timed at the Scotland : 
Syce i 01 00 Lydia 1 03 30 
Gloriana, being entered for the Bennett cup, sailed the 
long course. 
They reached in to the Hook with plenty of wind, and 
carried spinakers home from the Southwest Spit, the 
finish being timed :
