Larchmont Y. C. Spring Regatta. 
LARCHMONT — ^LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June 16. 
The Larclimont Y. C. was only a little more fortunate 
on Saturday than the New York on Thursday and the 
Atlantic on Tuesday, as the start of its spring, regatta was 
spoiled by the very light wind; later on a good S.W. 
breeze made the race quite interesting, with some close 
finishes. There was a good fleet of starters, but dis- 
tributed over a large number of classes with mainly two or 
three boats in each. As Rainbow was not at the line, a 
special match was made by the Race Committee between 
Vigilant and Mineola, the two to sail with jib-headed top- 
sails and without allowance. The Gardner 30-footer De- 
parture, after several seasons of idleness, was on hand 
with the other thirties. The start was made at 11 :35, with 
so little wind that many of the boats were handicapped. The 
first leg of each course was to the eastward, to marks in 
the middle of the Sound, then to the Hempstead mark and 
home, each class sailing two rounds. After little better 
than a drift to the iirst mark and partly over the second 
leg, about i -.30 a fresh S.W. wind sprang up and the 
race began in earnest, thus holding to the finish. The first 
round was timed:

On the first leg of the second round Amorita slipped the 
seizing of her forestay and the masts went aft, but the 
damage was temporarily repaired. She also burst the 
shackle of her jib sheet bridle, and in taking in the jib one 
of the crew Nvas knocked overboard, but was picked up 
safely. In spite of these mishaps she won. On the second 
leg Vigilant stood too far in under the Oak Neck shore 
and her board took the ground on a falling tide. The 
committee tug. the powerful C. P. Raymond, parted two 
hawsers before the yacht came off. In the S7ft. class Syce 
beat Hussar II. easily. The official times were:

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
The Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. has arranged a series 
of races on June 21, 22 and 23, following the special race 
of the New York Y. C. on June 19 and preceding the 
college boat races, at New London on June 28. During these 
races the club" extends the privileges of its club house to 
the captains of the following clubs and their guests: New 
York Y. C, Y. R. A. of Long Island Sound, Eastern, 
Larchmont, Atlantic, Philadelphia, Corinthian and Corin- 
thian of Marblehead. The club has chartered a tug, 
which will, each race day, start from some point on the 
Connecticut shore near New Rochelle, and, stopping at 
two or three points between there and Stamford, tow to 
Oyster Bay any yachts that may require such assistance, 
and will also tow back to the same points any yachts 
that may wish to return after each race. The schedule 
of the tug's movements will be arranged later and may 
be had on application to the secretary of the race com- 
mittee. The racing on every one of the three days will 
begin at i o'clock in the afternoon. 
Prizes will be awarded in every class as follows : 
A first prize when more than one yacht start, a second 
prize when more than three yachts start, a third prize 
when more than five yachts start. In addition to these 
prizes, series prizes will be awarded to the winning yacht 
in the Soft, class of cutters and in the raceabout and Sea- 
wanhaka knockabout classes, based on the following sys- 
tem of scoring: The winner in every race shall receive 
four points, the second yacht three points, the third two 
points and the fourth one pomt. The yacht receiving the 
greatest number of points in the three races shall receive 
the series prize. Ties shall be sailed off. Should the 
winnig yacht in anj^ race have been manned with a Corin- 
thian crew, the club will present a Corinthian crew prize 
to every member of that crew, and to the owner of the 
yacht a prize handsomer than the usual class prize. 
Prizes will be distributed immediately after every race. 
Classes have been arranged for cutters, sloops, schoon- 
ers, yawls, catboats, raceabouts and Seawanhaka knock- 
abouts. All starts will be from the gun. On request the 
race committee will conduct any matches or special races 
which owners may arrange on the three racing days. 
Three courses have been arranged, all triangular. 
Course No. i is eleven and three-quarter nauticak miles 
in length; No. 2 is eight and a quarter nautical miles, and 
No. 3 is six and three-quarter nautical miles. The courses 
for the various classes are as follows: Schooners, 65ft. 
class and over, and cutters, sloops and yawls, 51ft. class and 
over, twice around course No. i. Schooners, 65ft. class 
and under, and cutters, sloops and yawls, 30, 36 and 43ft. 
classes, twice around course No. 2. Sloops, 2Sft. class; 
catboats, 30 and 25ft. classes, and raceabouts and Sea- 
wanhaka knockabouts, twice around course No. 3. 
Sloops, 21 and i8ft. classes, and catboats, 21 and i8ft. 
classes, once around course No. 2. 
Except in the schooner classes, and in the first 60ft, 
and Sift, classes of cutters, sloops and yawls, every yacht 
must be steered by a Corinthian and must be manned by 
Corinthians, except that any yacht may carry and use 
her regular professional crew, but yachts in sloop classes, 
25ft. and under, and catboats in all classes shall not carry 
more than one professional. 
Entries must be filed with some member of the race 
committee by 12 o'clock on the day preceding every race. 
A trophy valued at $100, to be known as the "Center 
Island Cup," has been presented by a member of the 
club for competition in a series of seven races by the 
Seawanhaka knockabouts owned by club members. The 
dates set are June 16 and 30, July 7 and 21, Aug. 4 and 
18 and Sept. i, In addition to this cup the club will give 
a second price to the boat taking second place in the 
series, and if the yacht winning first or second prize has 
been manned by a strictly Corinthian crew, individual 
Corinthian prizes will be presented to each member of 
the crew. All helmsmen must be Corinthians, but one 
member of the crew may be a professional. In the latter 
case, however, the crew will be limited to three persons, 
while in the case of a strictly Corinthian crew four may 
be carried. 
The race committee has enrolled thirty-six Corinthians 
who may be called on to make up crews during the sea- 
son, the list being posted in the Oyster Bay club house. 
The first race of the Center Island cup series was sailed 
on June 16 over an inside course of eleven nautical miles, 
the start being at 3:05. The times were:

Cottage City Harboi", 
Yachtsmen who voyage east in small boats will be de- 
lighted to hear that the new harbor at Cottage City, 
Martha's Vineyard, is a complete success. This will 
enable small craft to lie in a safe' and quiet anchorage, no 
matter hpw'the wind blows. Formerly there was no 
harbor of the kind except at Edgartown, some six miles 
further east, as the Vineyard Harbor (Holmes' Hole) is 
a bad spot for small craft with the wind anywhere from 
N.W- to N.E. The entrance to the new anchorage lies 
midway between the Plighland and Oak Bluff docks. The 
depth of water in the passage at neap low tide is 4ft. 6in. 
The average rise is 24in., giving an average maximum 
depth of 6ft. 6in. Inside, over a considerable space, is a 
depth of 6ft.,. with room to move a fleet of fifty j'achts. 
During .the season range lights will be maintained, making 
it perfectly safe to enter at itight. I have established a 
yachtsman's - station here, , and secured the privilege of 
landing at a. new pier, which has been built by Capt. Joy, at 
the head of the harbor. This pier will be known by the 
flag, flying above it. ■ ■ 
To make the harbor entrance coming from the west, after 
passing the black spar buoy of East Chop, stand in 
close to the head of Highland Wharf; after passing this 
head for the Oak Bluff Dock, until you open the entrance 
between the stone jetties, then run in, keeping in mJd~ 
channel. A vessel can carry loft. to the heads of the 
jetties. The shore is free from all danger, and can be 
safely followed by vessels drawing 5ft. or less by keeping 
in line with the dock heads.

DORVAL — LAKE ST. LOUIS. 
Saturday, June g. 
The first race of the new cup defenders of the Royal 
St. Lawrence Y. C. was sailed on June 9 on Lake St. 
Louis off Lakeside, the wind being too light and. variable 
for a test. The times were, start, 4:09;

Kittiwake by 5 min. 
The club is preparing to get the greatest possible service 
from the new club yacht St. Lawrence. She will make 
trips up the lake to Lakeside and other points, to carry 
guests to and from the dances at the club house. 
For races away from Dorval, she will leave the club pier 
at 2 :30 sharp every Saturday and will tow itp the racing 
boats free of charge. The boats' crews and members will 
be taken to and from the races free of charge. Members 
may procure tickets for their friends at 25 cents each. 
Members who cannot catch the i :30 train can take the 
2:15 to the place of the races, where the St. Lawrence 
will call for them. 
On Sundays the steamer will leave the club pier at 11 
A. M. for a trip up the lake, returning at i P. M. ; again 
at 2 :30 P. M., returning at 5. Members can secure tickets 
for themselves and friends for these excursions at 25 
cents each. 
The steamer can be chartered by members — except on 
Saturdays and public holidays or Sundays — at $5 for the 
first hour and $1.50 for each succeeding hour. 
A boat shed has been built on the water front, where 
members can keep boats or canoes at the rate of $5 per 
anniim, including attendance. Skiffs and canoes can also 
be hired at moderate rates. 
Arrangements have also been made by which members 
can have their yachts moored and cared for, 
Lloy(is' Yacht Register. 
Lloyds' Yacht Register for 1900-1 arrived last week 
and has been distributed to the American subscribers, of 
whom there are many in the list. The book is uniform 
with those of previous years, but a little thicker, as the 
number of yachts grows larger. There are now listed a 
total of 8,119 yachts, among wdiich are included 1,573 
American yachts not measured by Lloyds' rule. The 
yachts thus measured, including most of the larger 
American steam yachts, number 6,546, with a total ton- 
nage of 271. 1 13. Of these, 3,043, with a tonnage of 155,- 
914, belong to Great Britain : 388 to the British colonies^ 
59S to France, and 429 to Germ.any and Austria. The 
following table is interesting, as showing the extent to 
which the different materials are used in construction:

The Register contains a list of all yachts measured un- 
der the society's rule, a list of American yachts not thu* 
measured, a list of yacht and sailing clubs, national flags. 
Hags of yacht clubs, the new international code signals 
and the racing flags of the yachts. The rules of the 
Yacht Racing Association are given, Avith list of changes 
of names of . yachts arranged according to ton- 
nage, of builders and designers with the yachts built 
or designed by each, of yachi owners, of yacht owners 
holding master's certificates, and of yachts removed from 
the Register. This last list, of yachts lost, sold into 
trade or broken up, is very interesting. Mr. Thojnas- 
Congdon, of the Kemble Buildings, Whitehall street, New 
York, is the principal surveyor of the societj^ for the 
United States, and also surveyor for the port and district 
of New York. Accompanying the Register is the first 
supplement, containing alterations and additions up to 
May 3. ' 
Corinthian Y. C. of Philadelphia. 
The Corinthian Y. C, of Philadelphia, sails its annual 
regatta in the early part of June, and this year it was 
set for the 9Lh, but all of the larger yachts were absent, so 
that only half a dozen of the smaller yachts started. The 
course was from off the club station, Essington, around 
the Chester Buoy, eight miles naut., with a light northerly 
breeze. The times were:
