The fourth and last of the one-desigji 70ft. l.w.l. cut- 
ters was launched at Bristol on June 18 with the name 
Yankee on her transom. She will be sailed hy Mr. Herman 
B. Duryea. who has sailed the three Vaqueros with such 
si:ccess, and who is one of her owners, Mr. Harrj- Paj-ne 
Whitney being the other. Capt. Sam Seaman, well known 
in the old days of sand-bag racing on the Sound, will be 
the professional skipper, with Gus Peterson, Avho has had 
charge of Vaquero III. for Mr. Duryea, as mate. 
The death of Major J. Orr-Ewing, which took place 
in an action near Senekal at the end of May. will take two 
yachts from the racing aboitt Cowes, as Sakuntala and 
'ndrick were owned by his brothers. A. E. Orr-Ewing 
A Capt. J. Orr-Ewing. while a fourth brother. C. Lnid- 
^av Orr-Ewinp, is also a j-achtsman, Major Ort-^^wmg 
at one time owned the 40-rater Mohawk and later raced 
the 5-rater Sea Shell. 
^ The Dover to Heliogoland race for the cup given by the 
German Emperor started on June 16 and ended on June 
18, the winner being the old Fife cutter Fiona, Henry M. 
Rait. There were ten starters. 
ASTRILD, cutter, recently purchased in Glasgow by 
Messrs. Hanan, arrived at Greenport, L. I., on June 14, 
having left the Clyde on May 12. 
The June regattas, several of the most nnponant of 
which have been sailed, have proved dull and uninterest- 
ing in the extreme. This is due to two causes — the lack 
of sporting spirit on the part of owners, and the light 
Aveather. The entries, even in the New York and Atlantic 
clubs, have been much smaller than might reasonably be 
expected, as many valuable prizes were offered, iii all 
classes large and small, and in many of these classes the 
older yachts had the field to themselves, without fear of 
competition by new boats. While the old boats declined to 
enter, the new ones, at least the larger, are not yet ready. 
In the Soft, class Mineola has had to sail alone in two 
out of the three races. Queen Mab is still alone in the 
70ft. class, as Astrild and Isolde have not yet arrived, and 
in the 51ft. class Syce has but one new competitor. 
As matters stand, owners in the larger classes have very 
little ground for complaint against the rules or the club, as 
the latter stand ready to offer liberal prizes whenever two 
yachts, new or old, desire to race. In view of the promised 
revival in racing, the Atlantic Y. C. scheduled a special 
race for the Mondaj' preceding its annual regatta, and 
sent a tug to the Sound to tow safely through the East 
River an expected large fleet of raceabouts and knock- 
abouts. The tug brought down one knockabout, and the 
special race was abandcncd for lack of entries. 
The weather has been to blame for poor sport on the 
pmt of such yachts as started, the three imeetings of 
.•\morita /md Quissetta having been most unsatisfactory, 
and even the smaller boats have been unable to find 
sufficient wind. This week four important races are 
scheduled, and with clear, cool w^eather, which should 
bring better witids. 
New York Y. C. Fifty-fourth 
Annual Regatta. 
NEW YORK — NEW YORK BAY. 
Thursday, June 14. 
The New York Y. C. sailed its fifty-fourth annual re- 
gatta on June 14 in miserable weather, there being stray 
bits of sailing at times with long intervals of drifting 
between, the race itself being uninteresting and the results 
inconclusive. The course and conditions were as usual. 
The race was open to all classes of club boats, first and 
second prizes being given in each class for both racing 
and cruising trim, with the Bennett cups, one for 
schooners and one for cutters, sloops and yawls. The 
start and finish were oft' Buoy 13, just below the Nar- 
rows, down by way of the Southwest Spit and out to sea, 
all yachts of the 70ft. and larger classes turning the Sand}' 
Hook Lightsliip, while the 60ft. and smaller classes turned 
the Scotland Lightship, returning by way of the Spit. The 
,30ft. class was given a special regatta of its own, as 
usual, over the Orchard Shoal course. Only three new 
boats started, the two 70-footers, Mineola II. and Rain- 
bow, and the 51-footer, Hussar II., though in view of their 
important alterations Amorita and Quissetta may be set 
down as new. For the rest, they were all well-known 
boats. The starters were:

The new 51 -footer Altair was expected to meet Syce, the 
head of the class, and the new Hussar II., but she did not 
appear. Hussar II. sailed her first race, having been out 
the first of the w'eek for the removal of lead from her 
keel, as the measurement showed her to be well over 51ft. 
She is a large boat, wide and with long ends and looking 
very bulky. Though her sail plan is a liberal one, it looks 
small cornpared whh the hull; it has only mainsail and 
big jib with pole topmast. The two 70-footers showed up 
very handsomely with their handsome and shapely hulls, 
big'sail plans and well-fitting crosscut sails. Queen Mab 
had a new suit of Ratsey's canvas, but the clew of the 
mainsail was hauled out until the boom was buckled like a 
sickel and the sail was spoiled. 
With the fleet was the flagship Corona, the old Colonia, 
the club steamer Cepheus, the steam yachts Intrepid, 
Clermont. Sultana and Electra, and a few other craft. The 
dav was most unpromising at the start, cloudy with a little 
ram. but before 11 o'clock it had cleared with a sunny 
.skv and moderate S.W, breez?, The start Was mad? ?t 
11:35, Vigilant and Queen Mab going over just ahead of 
the gun, but not being recalled. Capt. George Parker, in 
Rainbow, made the best start, going over with the gun, 
while Mineola was a little later and crossed with less way. 
The schooners were started five minutes after the cutters, 
and the 30-footers twent}--five minutes later. 
AW crossed on starboard tack, with a good ebb tide to 
hurry them down and a nice working breeze well ahead, so 
much so that after about eight minutes Mineola came 
about, others following her, and it became a beat to the 
Spit. Before the tail of the fleet was Avell clear of the 
West Bank, the wind fell light and shifted. Then followed 
an hour of tedious drifting, as the yachts struck a calm 
spot near the Spit. The turn was unofficially timed : 
Mineola 1 13 50 Syce 13120 
Rainbow 1 19 50 1 'vira 1 31 20 
Quissetta 1 24 32 Huss,-.r II 1 ?,2 00 
Amorita 1 25 45 Uncas 1 35 30 
Vigilant 1 29 55 Latona 1 36 18 
Queen Mab 1 30 33 Mira 1 37 00 
Ingomar 1 30 50 
When fairly outside the point of Sandy Hook the boats 
found a little sea and a southerly wind that heeled the 
new 70-footers to a hard angle as they reached out on 
starboard tack. Of the two. Rainbow, now some dis- 
tance of Mineola, heeled perceptibly more than the lat- 
ter. They luffed around the Sandy Hook Lightship and 
trimmed down for a beat in to the Hook, and then up to 
the Spit, the wind constantly shifting. Of the smaller 
boats, Syce, after losing her first lead at the Spit, ran a 
long way ahead in the sea outside and turned the Scotland 
far ahead of the others of her division. Hussar II. kept 
it up until near the Scotland, when she withdrew. The 
times at the Sandy Hook Lightship were taken from the 
Cepheus as follows : 
Mineola 2 41 15 Oueen Mab 3 09 25 
Rainbow 2 45 35 Ingomar 3 14 50 
.4mprita 2 59 25 Latona 3 17 00 
Ouissetta 3 20 00 Wasp 3 17 10 
Vigilant 3 00 05 
The following times were taken at the Scotland: 
Sy.cc 2 47 10 Uvira 3 12 10 
Mira 3 00 10 -i^ .u 
After shifting about for a time the wind fell as the fleet 
passed the Hook, and all were left drifting below the 
Spit Buoy, which the leaders, Mineola, Rainbow and 
byce passed shortly after 4 o'clock. There was little 
but the tide to help them up the bay, but about 5 o'clock 
a squall came up m the northwest, with heavy rain and 
plenty of wand, making a spirited finish as one boat after: 
another came up to the line out of a dense mist. Mineola 
led Rainbow by over a minute, and Amorita was about 
eight minutes ahead of Quissetta. Nothing was seen of the 
30ft. class from the time of leaving the Spit on the way 
out, but Hera made a long- lead and finished before the 
steamers or her competitors were anywhere near the line 
il^^ crossed shortly before Mineola came up.
