Racing Programme, Season of 1900. 
In formally amrouncing the club's racing programme 
for the season of 1900, the Regatta Committee desires to 
call actention of members to the general plan upon which 
the programme is based, as well as to several special fea- 
tures thereof. The general plan is for a race of some 
description at Hull practically every Saturday afternoon 
during the season, and on such other days as seem to 
be specially fitted for racing, to the end that both racing 
and non-racing members may share in the sport; the 
former as participants, the latter as spectators of what the 
committee hopes will prove to be interesting events. The 
plan includes the offermg of prizes for handicap races in 
which yachts in cruising trim can compete, and also the 
encouragement, by cups and liberal prizes, of special 
classes in which racing without handicaps or time allow- 
ance may be had. 
The special features of the plan are the establishment 
of a restricted i8ft. class, and the offer of a club cham- 
pionship for cabin 25-footers conforming to the restric- 
tions of the Yacht Racing Association of Massachusetts. 
The l8ft. restricted class is intended to provide a safe 
and handy boat for afternoon sailing and racing; a 
boat more easily handled and less expensive to build than 
a 2ift. knockabout, and yet affording the same possi- 
bihties of convenience and sport. The club championship 
for 25-footers is offered for the benefit of many members 
owning 3^achts in that class, as well as in the hope of 
adding to the club membership such owners as are not 
now etrrolled. 
Com. E. P. Boggs has offered a silver cup for the en- 
couragement of the season's racing, and it will be placed 
for competition in either one or the other of the two 
classes just named, as may be deemed most advisable by 
the committee. 
A silver cup and a cash prize of $150 will be awarded 
the yacht winning the club championship of the 2Sft. 
cabin class in the club's series of races as scheduled. A 
second cash prize of $75 will also be awarded on the 
season's record, The races for this cup and the cash 
prizes will be open to yachts enrolled in the club and 
conforming to the restrictions of the class as established 
by the Y. R. A, The championship will be awarded on 
the best percentage for the series secured by a yacht under 
the system of giving 100 per cent, for first place in each 
race, 65 per cent, for second place, 35 per cent, for third 
place and i.S per cent, for a finish without securing first, 
second or third place. A yacht's average will be found by 
dividing her total percentage by the number of races 
sailed, but a yacht must compete in at least six races to 
qualify for the season's championship or second prize. 
Cash prizes of $20, $15 and $10 will be awarded in each 
race for first, second and third place, respectively, regard- 
less of any competition for the season's record. 
The schedule of races for championship awards is as 
follows: June 2 and 18, July 7, H and 21, Aug. 11, Sept. 
I, 7 and 8. 
A silver cup will be awarded the yacht winning the 
club championship of the i8ft. restricted class in the club 
races as scheduled. The races will be open to yachts en- 
rolled in the club and conforming to the restrictions as 
formulated by the Regatta Committee. These restrictions 
are uniform with those of the i8ft. Knockabout Asso- 
ciation. The championship will be awarded on the same 
percentage system as that for the 25-footers, except that 
more races must be sailed to qualify. The races counting 
for championship percentages will be scheduled before the 
opening of the season. Cash prizes will be offered in 
each race. 
The Regatta Committee will arrange handicap races on 
Saturday afternoons throughout the season in one or 
more classes as may be deemed best in view of the num- 
ber and sizes of boats desiring to enter. Cash prizes will 
be awarded in each race and the yachts will sail in cruising 
trim. The handicaps will be fixed by the committee for 
each race, and will not be changed for a particular event 
after having once been announced. Owners of yachts 
desiring to compete in handicap races are requested to 
notify the Regatta Committee before the opening of the 
season, so that classes and handicaps may be properly 
arranged. „ , . . , 
A handsome silver cup has been ottered, and a series of 
championship races will be given for "Hull's Own" 25ft. 
cabin class.

New Rochdle Y. C Special Race. 
NEW ROCHELLE — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, May 26. 
The second racing Saturday of the season was little 
better than the first at New Rochelle, a heavy rain and 
light wind making a poor day for sailors and spectators 
alike. The New Rochelle Y. C. held a speciaj open race, 
the course being a triangle with the start oft' Echo Bay, 
distance 75^ miles. Owing to the light and fluky wind, 
from the west, the race was called at the end of the first 
round. The new Huntington 30-footer, built for the 
Solent racing, made her first start, but the weather pre- 
vented any satisfactory test. The times were:
