POET WASHINGTON — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June g. 
The annual regatta of the Manhasset Bay Y. C. was 
sailed on June 9 ofif Sands Point, the larger yachts sailing 
around Matinnicock Point Buoy. The day was clear with 
a fresh northerly breeze in the afternoon, though the 
wind was so light in the morning that the start was post- 
poned in order to give time for the yachts to reach the 
station. The race was sailed under the Y. R. A. rules 
without allowance, but a special class was made for the 
cutter Lotowana, the sloop O Shima San and the yawl 
Albicore. In the 25ft. sloop class Houri carried away her 
jib early in the race, so that Edwina practically sailed 
over. The times were :

Simeon Ford, after he had sold the knockabout Mon- 
goose, ordered a new boat to be built by L. D. Hunting- 
ton, of New Rochelle. He calls his new yacht "a freak 
catboat," and she certainly deserves the title. The hull 
of the boat is square-ended, just like Palm and Akabo, but 
she has a fin-keel instead of a centerboard. Mr. Ford 
has been out sailing several times and the new boat, which 
is named Mongoose II., has done very well. Last Sunday 
while sailing on the Sound a sharp squall struck her and 
Mr. Ford let her run before the wind, which, fortunately, 
was blowing toward home. He says he thinks the yacht 
beat all records for speed, but for a disaster that might 
have been serious. When near the Connecticut sliore 
Mongoose struck a rock. The sailor wlio was lying flat on 
the deck forward was thrown into the water. Mr. Ford, 
who was at the tiller, was thrown forward, and when he 
collected himself he was lying beside the mast. How it all 
happened he does not pretend to explain. The sailor 
was rescued, Mongoose floated off the rock, and, mucii to 
every one's surprise, is not injured. — Philadelpliia Item.

John R. Arbuckle, the Brooklyn coffee dealer, is now 
fitting out at South Brooklyn a fleet of four vessels, which 
will be used as floating hotels or boarding houses. Three 
of these are sailing vessels, which will lie off" Liberty 
Island by day, the guests being carried to and from the 
battery by the fourth vessel, a large tug. At night the fleet 
will get under way and go down the bay, returning next 
morning. The idea is to give to persons of moderate 
means the pleasure of life on the water. One of the sailing 
vessels is the schooner Gitana, built for the late W. F. 
Weld; another is the pilot boat James Gordon Bennett, 
now named Hermit, and the third is the old packet ship 
Jacob A. Stamler. They are being fitted with numerous 
staterooms and large galleys, and the tug, John Harlin, is 
being- refitted to earry passengers. The enterprise is un- 
derstood -to be largerly a philanthropic one. ■ '

A curious dispute has arisen between W. K. Vander- 
bilt, Jr., former owner of the cutter Carmita, and the 
purchasers of the yacht, Robert L. Forrest and J. G. 
Neafie Whitaker, of Philadelphia. Mr. Vanderbilt owned 
a fine little launch named Leading Wind, and in the bill : 
of sale of Carmita the word "launch" was included, as he 
claims by mistake. When the representatives of the pur- 
chasers took Carmita from Newport, they also took the 
launch, claiming that she was part of the yacht's equip- 
ment, though it is claimed by Mr. Vanderbilt that she is 
too large to be hoisted at the yacht's davits. His claim for 
the return of the launch being disregarded, he secured the 
services of a United States marshal and searched for her 
about Philadelphia. She was not found, as she had been 
chartered to some unknown persons.

Caiman, Mr. Pierre Lorillard's house-boat, was burned 
on the Indian River, Florida, near New Smyrna, on the 
night of June 7. The chief engineer, who was apparently 
the only one' on board, was awakened by the fire, and 
only escaped with his life, the vessel being entirely de- 
stroyed. Caiman was a flat-bottomed steel scow with a: 
large two-story house, elegantly furnished and fitted with 
two small engines for propulsion. She was built at Wil- 
mington in 1891, and had been used ever since by Mr. 
Lorillard in Florida waters. She was unique in her way 
as a self-propelling floating house.
