Still another fine British yacht will be added to the 
New York Y. C. fleet, as Rear-Com. Robinson, who has 
been cruising during the winter in the Mediterranean in 
a chartered steatn yacht, has just purchased the cutter 
Hester, of 75ft. L. R. This yacht was designed by Wm. 
Fife, Jr., for John Gretton, and built by C. Hansen & 
Sons, Cowes, in 1895. She is of composite construction, 
about 90ft. over all, 67ft. l.w.l., i8ft. breadtii and 13ft. 
draft. 
The new 57-footer Hussar H. had her trial trip on May 
19 on the Sound, with her owner, Jas. Baird, and friends 
on board. After sailing for a short time her mast carried 
away about 5ft. above the deck, fortunately without kill- 
ing any one. She w^as taken in tow by Queen Mab, cutter, 
and left at her builder's yard for repairs.

Long island Sound Y. R. A. 
The following notice has been sent out by the Executive 
Committee of the Y. R. A. of Long Island Sound : 
The girth rule of measurement has been rescinded. The 
load waterline and sail area now applies to all classes. 
Yachts of over 30ft. racing measurement are to be meas- 
ured without crews aboard. 
The classification above 43ft. in effect previous to last 
season has been restored, with the addition of an Soft, 
class of sloops. 
Separate classes for yawls, viz., a first class, a 43ft. class 
and a 36ft. class, have been created. 
Separate enumeration of cabin and open classes has 
been made. 
The rule limiting draft, in force during 1898, has been 
revived. 
The 2sft. load waterline class of knockabouts has been 
abolished. 
New restrictions for the 2ift. load waterline class of 
raceabouts have been adopted. Yachts of this class in 
existence Jan. i, 1900, may qualify under the rules under 
which they were built, or under the new rules, at the 
option of the owners. All yachts of this class must be 
measured before racing this season. 
The racing division for yachts of 30ft. racing measure- 
ment and under has been abolished. 
■ There is no time allowance for yachts launched since 
Nov. I, 1896. 
Yachts of the 30ft. classes may carry their regular pro- 
fessional crews. 
A yacht appearing alone in her class may sail in the 
next larger class of the same rig, at the maximum limit of 
that class. 
The starting signals have been so rearranged that yachts 
of various rigs of the same class length will start on the 
s.ime signal. 
"Time" starts have been abolished. 
Certificates giving the names and occupations of mem- 
bers of crews, and the declaration of the owners that such 
of them as are required by the rules so to be are Corin 
thians, and that all the rules have been obeyed, will h*; 
required from winning yachts. 
Measurers should ascertain if cabin yachts conform 
to the cabin restrictions, and if yachts under 36ft. conform 
to scantling restrictions, and measurers' certificates should 
state the facts in regard thereto. 
It is im.portant that the measurement of yachts of thf 
30ft. and i8ft. classes be certified as in accordance witli 
the rules of the Association. 
Mr. C. D. Mower, of No. 9 Murray street. New York, 
has been elected official measurer of the As.sociation. Hi 
services will be available in the event of the inability of 
ch'b m.easurers to serve. 
Yacht owners who have not procured racing number', 
should do so before the opening of the racing season. 
The Association will at the close of the yachting season 
of 1900 award a chamniori'^hip pennant to the yacht iv 
each cla'^s in which Corinthian helmsmen are required- 
viz., 43ft. racing measurement and under — that shall 
have made the highest record in championship races, ac 
cording to the scheme outlined below. 
The annual regatta of every yacht club represented in 
the Association, and the special races assigned to .'^ucli 
clubs in the Association schedule and sailed on Saturday 
and holidays from May .^o to Sept. 22. bo*^h inclusive — and 
no others — will be included in the chamnion^hip ?erie?. 
Eeach vacht comneting in a chamDion«hip race will br 
credited with as many points as the number of yachts she 
defeats, with one ooint added a* a premiurro for etitrv. 
A report of every chamo'onshin race, giving the n^imen 
of all vac^^ts starting- therein and the ord'='r at the finith. 
must be filed with the secretary of the Executive Com- 
mittee of the Association bv the chairman or secretarv of 
the Race Committee of the club givine the race. The 
poin^^K will be a<;sigtied and the chamnionshin record com 
puted by the Executive Committee from, the record.s so 
sec" red. 
Ties if anv. will be sailed off at a time and pl^ce t(i 
be designated by the Executive Committee. 
Pompano and the Quincy Cup. 
DuiuNG the past winter Pompano, one of the freaks 
which raced last season for the Quincy cup, has been con- 
verted from a fin-keel to a double-rudder-centerboard com- 
bination, and her owner, Mr. W. E. C. Eustis, of thi^ 
Beverly Y. C, has again challenged for the cup, making a 
third challenger. The details of the change, which evi- 
dently called for some skillful work on the part of the 
designer, Mr. Eustis, and also of the builder, are given as 
follows by the Boston Globe ; 
Further interest in the challenge of Mr. Eustis is to be 
found in the fact that it will be practically a new Pompano 
that will make her appearance at the races. Last year she 
was a flatiron-shaped fin-keel, with her greatest breadth 
at the stern and her bow narrowing to a point. This j'ear 
she is a centerboard of the Skow type, with her stern th<. 
same as before, but with her bow showing a breadth of 
about 6ft,. Her extreme breadth is somewhat greater than 
before, and in place of a fin she carries tW'O centerboards, 
one in each bilge, after the fashion of Mr. Eustis' success- 
ful i8-footer Capelin. Her sail area will probably be aboi^t 
the same as before, 1,100 sq. ft. She retains her uniqtie 
feature of two rudders working together by means of a 
cross bar affixed to the tillers. 
In remodeling Pompano she was cut in halves from 
stem to stern, and with the stern ends kept together while 
the sides were spread out at the bow to a width of 6ft. 
The wedged-shaped space thus left in the center was filled 
in with the necessary frames and planking, and the trans- 
formation of the hull from its flatiron to its present Skow 
shape was complete. The result is a boat with the same 
shaped sides as before, but with an extreme breadth of 
12ft. 6in. instead of loft, 6in.. for the sides had a slight 
outward curve that now brings the extreme breadth about 
JofL from the .stem. She is nearly 40ft over all, and her 
bow covering board rounds slightly outward. Her mid^ 
ship section !<! that of a flattened ellinse. in which the 
floor and deck show respectively a slight downward and 
upward curve, while the topsides rm^d into the 4^
