Sowth Boston Y. C 
j : ~ CITY POINT — BOSTON HARBOR. 
Friday, May 31. 
The opening race of the Y. R. A. racing season was 
sailed on Friday in a light northeasterly breeze. The race 
was given by the South Boston Y. C, and twenty-seven 
yachts lined up at the start. There were several new 
boats entered, but, strange to say, the prizes did not all 
go to new boats in the classes in which they sailed. In 
the 25ft. open class the starters were nearly all Cape cats. 
Hustler had an easy time of it here, winning by over 9m. 
In 'the restricted 25-footers, last year's champion Flirt, 
designed by Crowninshield, started in to repeat her per- 
formances of last year. In this class there were two new 
boats — Calypso, designed and built by Hanley, and Cyrilla. 
designed by Mills and built by Smith, of Quincy. Flirt, as 
usual, was right at the line at gunfire, and was never 
headed throughout the entire course. Early Dawn put up 
a hot argument, but the keel boat was too much for her. 
Calypso was just out of the shop, and was by no means in 
racing condition. On the reach from Buoy 7 to the ball 
mark off Moon Head she had trouble with her balloon 
jib and lost considerable ground. John T. Cavanagh, 
who sailed her, and her owner, A. W. Chesterton, were 
satisfied with her work under the conditions, and think 
that she will prove all right when she is thoroughly fitted 
up and has been tuned. 
The race of the restricted 21-footers marked another 
success for Crowninshield. Opitsah III., designed by 
him for Sumner H. Foster, took away the honors after a 
hot fight with Harriet and the yawl Coquette. In the 
open 21-footers Bud and Cleopatra started. Bud had 
practically a walk over. In the i8-footers there was a hot 
scrap between Dauntless and Lobster from the starting 
line to the first mark, but after this Dauntless pulled into 
first place and proceeded to stay there. There were five 
starters in the 18ft. knockabout class. They went over 
the starting line in a bunch, and there was a hot scrap 
between Aspinquid, Oriana and Ayaya all over the course. 
Oriana was first over the starting line, but Aspinquid 
took the lead near the first mark and kept it. In the 
15ft. class Vitesse, which was designed by C. D. Mower 
four years ago, had an easy win from Dorothea and 
Melodic, the latter a new boat designed by Fred Lawley.

In the afternoon there was a race for sailing tenders, 
which proved the most interesting of the day. They were 
split up into two classes, one open to all and the other for 
the one-design boats of the Savin Hill Y. C. The sum- 
mary of these races is as follows :
