Rhode Island Y» C Anntial Regatta* 
^ PAWTUXET — ^PROVIDENCE KIVER. 
Friday, June 22. 
The Rhode Island Y. C. celebrated its fourteenth an- 
niversary on June 22 with the annual spring regatta and 
* ladies' day. The courses were : 
For all classes over 21ft. sailing length: Start between 
judges' boat and signal off club house, around gas buoy 
No. 4, about one-half mile southeast of Warwick Light, 
leaving same on port and return to starting point, seven- 
teen miles. Channel course sailed in all classes, and all 
buoys, beacons and lighthouses passed on the channel 
side. 
Courses for all other classes : Start between judges' 
boat and signal off club house, passing frbm north to 
south ; thence around black spar buoy off the club house, 
leaving the same on starboard; thence around black spar 
Tjuoy off Green's Island, leaving same on starboard ; thence 
around black spar buoy off the club house, leaving the 
same on port; thence around black spar buoy off Green's 
Island, leaving same on starboard and return to starting 
point, twelve miles. 
There was a strong southerly wind at the start, and 
some of the yachts were reefed, but it finally died out after 
various shifts and changes. One of the starting guns 
missed fire, and Elizabeth, making a very late start after 
the rest of her class, was mistaken by the committee as 
starting too soon for the next class, and was recalled. 
Victor was protested by Mildred for crossing before her 
proper gun. Astrea claimed a new measurement after 
the race, and Argol sailed the Avrong course. The official 
times were :

Saturday, June 30. 
Te2 New Rochelle Y. C. sailed its annual regatta on 
June 30 in the hardest blow of the year, a strong and 
puffy N.W. wind that parted halyards and bobstays and 
snapped oft" masts and bowsprits. There was an entry 
list of sixty-two yachts, and as the whole Sound fleet 
is now ready for the mid-summer racing, most of these 
Avould have started in ordinary weather, but as it was, the 
list was cut just in half. The regular club courses were 
sailed, starting off Echo Bay, across the Sound to the 
Gangway Buoy and then to the second mark, down the 
Sound, and home. The incidents of the day were numer-

mizzen mast, Tosto tore her mainsail, Empronzi parted

Eastern Y, C. Annual Regatta. 
MARBLEHEAD — MASSACHUSETTS BAY. 
Saturday, June 30. 
The Eastern Y. C. sailed its annual regatta on June 30 
in half a gale from W.N.W. and a lively sea, only half a 
dozen yachts starting. The two big schooners Constella- 
tion and Hildegarde were matched, but the latter parted 
her jib sheets before the start and withdrew. The 70ft. 
l.w.l. centerboard cutter Athene, just from the Bristol 
yard, where she had two tons of lead bolted under the 
keel and two new sails made, went in against Constellation 
for the Puritan cup. 
Gloriana and the ne<v 51-footer Shark were in the 
harbor, but Shark would not start with reefed sails. The 
course was out around the E. Y. C. mark, then around the 
Graves Whistling Buoy and return over the same course. 
Athene sailed with topmast on deck and fuU lower sail. 
Constellation ran away from Athene off the wind, but in 
beating out to the Graves the cutter took the lead. On the 
third leg, off the wind, Constellation regained the lead, but 
on the beat home she carried away the jaws of her main 
gaft' and Athene won by a large margin. The times were :
