New York Y. Newport Races. 
NEWK«T. 
July 12-15. 
The relative importance of Newport as a yacht center 
compared with New York is increasing each year, many 
members of the New York Y. C. making their summer 
homes in the former place, while the close prox»mty to 
the open sea, just outside Newport Harbor, and the free- 
dom from trathc, is in marked contrast to the cour.se aboiit 
New York Bay. This year the New York Y. C, m addi- 
tion to its cruise races, has arranged a special smes of 
races, open to all classes in the club, to be .sailed oft New- 
port under the following conditions : , , a f 
The start will be at 11 A. M., between Brentqns Reef 
light vessel and a point on the committee boat indicated

will be given.

No time taken after 8 P. M. 
The only entries for the races were from the new Soft, 
class, the 51ft. class, the special 30ft. class and Astrild, of 
the 70ft. class, the latter having no competitor. On July 
II the four one-design boats were measured by Mr. 
Hyslop, the results being: Virginia, 76.74ft-; Mineola. 
76.73ft; Yankee, 76.36ft.; Rainbow, 76.34ft. The sail 
areas are 7,000ft. 
On July 12, the first day, there ' was a dense fog over 
Newport and the adjoining waters, so that even with a 
good breeze from S. by E. a race was not possible. 
First Race — Friday, July 13. 
Friday morning was clear, with a moderate S.S.W. 
wind, making the first leg of Course C dead to windward. 
This course was selected, and after the full triangle of 23 
miles had been covered the first leg was sailed, out to the 
Point Judith mark and back, making 14 miles more, half 
to windward and half under spinakers. In the absence 
of Chester Griswold, of the Race Committee, Philip 
Schuyler acted with Messrs. Kane and Duncan on the 
tug Edward Luckenback. The start was given at 11:10 
for the-8o-footers, Mineola, steered by Capt. Wringe, being 
the first over, followed by Rainbow with Capt. Parker 
at the wheel. The two started on the starboard or off- 
shore tack, while Mr. Duryea sent Yankee across on the 
port tack, headed in for the Narragansett shore, Mr. W. 
K. Vanderbilt, Jr., at the wheel of Virginia, following. 
While the two English skippers were haying a bout to- 
gether, making several short tacks, but still keeping out, 
Yankee held on until well under the shore, and, as is almost 
always the case on this course with a westerly wind, came 
out ahead of the fleet. Virginia tried a middle course, but 
finally abandoned it to follow Yankee, and fell into second 
place, the first mark being timed :

Virginia 12 22 19 1 11 56

Kainbow 12 32 30 1 22 25 
The second leg was run with balloon jibs set, Rainbow 
trying a spinaker to starboard, which did not help her.

result showing when they were timed :

Second Day— Saturday, July 14. 
On Saturday morning the weather was still clear and 
pleasant and the wind moderate, N.W. by N., so .a course 
was laid off of 15 miles to leeward from Brenton's, Reef, 
the markboat bearing S.E. S. The start for the 80- 
footers was at 11 :io, all going over with second club top- 
sails set. As usual, Mineola was first over, within thirty- 
six seconds of the gun, but the others took their time, as it 
was not a one-gun start. All set spinakers to port, run- 
ning thus for nearly an hour, when they jibed over and 
reset spinakers. AH held closely together, Mineola keep- 
ing her lead; Y^ankee tore the head of her spinaker and 
took it in for a while to make repairs, her balloon jib top- 
sail still keeping her up with the others. Rainbow 
lowered her No. 2 club topsail and set the large one, the 
wind falling lighter, and afler i o'clock all but Virginia 
took in their spinakers. Virginia steered a more easterly 
course than the others, and when they closed in for the 
mark it was a question whether she or Yankee, the latter 
having passed Rainbow and Mineola some time before, 
would turn, first. Yankee was first, but by a very few 
.seconds, the times being : 
Turn. Elapsed. 
Yankee 1 30 05 2 18 24 
Rainbow 1 30 27 2 17 33 
Mineola 1 .30 49 2 20 13 
Virginia 1 35 17 2 23 28 
With sheets hardened the work of Yankee, Rainbow 
and Mineola was interesting, as they were in close com- 
pany, Mineola being able once to put Y'ankee about, but 
she made a tack oi^ shore while Yankee kept to the 
northward, nearer shore. The wind headed Mineola on 
this tack and made Yankee's gain even rnore than it would 
otherw.ise have been. The finish was timed:

During Friday's race it was discovered that Shark was 
leaking, and she was towed to Bristol for repairs during 
the night, being ready next morning. Syce also had her 
broken bobstay plate repaired. The fleet was increased by 
Sistae, the old Mabel F. Swift II., of but 46ft. R.M. The 
class started at 11:15, Shark being first over and Sistae 
handicapped. In following the large yachts it was im- 
possible to see the fight in this class or the 30ft. Ahair 
won very easily and Sigtae beat Shark. The full times
