The Royal Ulster Y. C. proposes a race in Irish waters 
before the annual yacht race meeting on the Clyde. It 
suggests that this should take place on June 18, 19 or 20, 
and offers two prizes of £100 each for a contest between 
Shamrock I., Sybarita, Meteor and Kariad, one prize to 
go to the first yacht and the other to the winner on time 
allowance. 
The Largest Dory in the "World. 
The largest dory in the world has just been constructed 
at Whitcomb's ship yard at Provincetown, Mass., 
for Colonel Charles " Ledyard Norton, of New 
York city. Everybody is familiar with the ordi- 
nary dory'--a light, handy and safe little craft in any kind 
of weather. Of recent years the type has been used for 
somewhat larger craft, and the centerboard dory is a hum- 
mer before the wind. But the new craft fairly takes away 
the breath of the Grand Banks hand liners, who have 
lived in dories all their lives. It has been an object of 
great interest to the fishermen hereabouts, and all \vho 
have inspected the strange craft are united in the opinion 
that she could go around the world if necessary. 
The owner and originator has styled the craft a "house 
dory," and that is what it will be when completed. Its 
dimensions are as follows : Length over all, 45ft. ; breadth 
amidships, 14ft. ; depth from gunwale to floor, 7ft. The 
"house dory" has the conventional flaring stem and tomb- 
stone of oak. To sawed knees of hackmatack the floor- 
ing or bottom of 2in. and the siding of i^^in. hard pine 
planking are fastened. The half-round bilge of the famous 
Swamppcot dory is wholly lacking, as is the graceful 
sweeping floor and sheer spring common to the average 
dory, but it is, nevertheless, an out-and-out dory. 
T!ie craft will be towed to Sandwich, where she will be 
equipped with a house, spars and sails by her owner. He 
will then take her around Cape Cod to Buzzard's Bay, 
where he will pass the summer in cruising. 
The spacious cabin house will extend from stem to 
stern, the only break being in the after part, where a 
deep cockpit will be placed. The house will be highest 
amidships, the house roof sloping thence fore and aft to 
the line of the stem and stern. The cabin will be con- 
veniently and comfortably furnished, for the owner intends 
to spend much of his time hereafter, both summer and 
winter, in the cozy interior. He will cruise in Northern 
waters during the summer and in the winter will prob- 
ably cruise in Florida waters. 
The "'house dory" will be steered with a tiller. Her 
canvas will consist of two leg-o'-mutton sails spread on 
fore and mainmasts, and a jib.— New York Sun. 
Larchmont Y* C Spring: Regatta. 
LARCHMONT — LONG ISLAND SOUND, 
Monday, Jimc 17. 
The Larchmont Y. C.'s spring regatta was sailed on 
Monday, June 17. The race was scheduled for last Satur- 
day, but owing to bad weather it was postponed until 
Monday. The breeze was light from the east in the morn- 
ing, but about 2 o'clock the wind dropped entirely, leavmg 
all the boats becalmed. After a wait of some time a 
light southwest breeze came up which eanbled the yachts 
to finish. It was a day of surprises and disappointments. 
In the 75ft. schooner class were Quissetta, Amonta and 
Elmina the new boat designed for the class by Messrs. 
Cary Smith & Barbev. These yachts were sent away at 11 135 
o'clock. Quissetta gat the best of the start and crossed the 
starting line first in the weather berth. Amorita, with a 
fine new suit of Ratsey sails, crossed second, and Elmina 
last. Quissetta rounded the first mark over six minutes in 
the lead, and on the next leg, with light sails set, she con- 
tinued to increase her lead. Quissett awas nearly half an 
hour in the lead when the breeze dropped entirely, and she 
lay becalmed. After drifting around for some time a little 
air came slowly up from the southwest. Elmina caught 
the breeze first and took the lead and won the race by 
a small margin. Elmina was outsailed by Quissetta from 
the beginning, and it was only through a fluke that she 
won the race. . 
Larry Huntington's new 51-footer Huguenot was to sail 
her maiden race against Altair in K class. Just as the 
starting signal was given Huguenot was unfortunate 
enough to carry away her throat halliards. Mr. Cord 
Meyer, owner of Altair, very kindly offered to wait until 
repairs were made, but finding that there would be con- 
siderable delay, Altair went over the course alone. 
In the 43ft. class Mr. Charles Lane Poor w^as on hand 
w'th Mira. This boat has been fitted with a suit of Ratsey 
sails which are perfect. Mira's only competitor was 
Effort II., Mr. F. M. Smith's new Herreshoff boat. Effort 
crossed the line first, but was soon passed by Mira, which 
boat easily outsailed her on every point from the start. 
At the end of the first round Mira was nearly twenty 
minutes in the lead, but she was unfortunate enough to 
'ihare the same fate as Quissetta. When Mira lost the 
easterly wind Effort was way behind and caught the 
southwest breeze first and secured such a substantial lead 
that it was impossible for Mira to overhaul her. With all 
her ill luck, Mira was only beaten by 25 seconds. The

Q>rinthian Y. C 
SAN FRANCISCO B.AiY. 
Thursday, May ,30. 
There was a good wind from the west, smooth water in 
San Francisco Bay and bright sunshine for the sixteenth 
annual regatta of the Corinthian Yacht Club, which took 
place on Decoration Day. 
Forty yachts of all classes were etnreed on the pro- 
pramme, most of which crossed the starting line between 
11:45 A. M. and 12:40 P. M. The course was from off 
Powell street wharf to and around the Government buoy; 
thence to and around a stake boat to the northeast ; thence 
returning to Presidio Shoal and finishing at the staritng 
line between stake boats. 
The favoring conditions of wind and weather, the shim- 
mering bay with its .surroundings of blue nioimta ns and 
headlands and verdant slopes, the bright sails of the 
yachts, with ships, steamers and larger craft afloat on the 
water, presented a splendid picture and delightful pros- 
pect. The battleship Iowa, covered with flags, was lying 
at anchor at the south, Alcatraz, opposite the starting 
point on the north, and to the west the natural wonders 
and fortifications of the Golden Gate. A salute in com- 
memoration of the day was fired from the guns of Alcatraz 
shortly before the signal whistles for the regatta were 
blown by the little steamer bearing the regatta commit- 
tee, and crovv'ded with spectators and enthusiastic guests. 
Yachts were classified into 20-foot class, 25-foot class, 
30-foot class, 36-foot class and special class. The regat- 
ta was governed by the club book of 1897. The prizes 
given were flags, one for first and one for second .of each 
class. 
In the 25-foot class. Discovery, a clever spoon bow and 
fin keel boat that was built last year, made her debut as a 
racer, and under the guidance of Capt. McFarland ran 
away from the Merope and five others. 
In the 20-foot class, Joe Mattoon's Spider, which was 
recently imported from Japan, beat the former champion 
Kittiwake. The latter was considered invincible in her 
class and had never been beaten until the boat from Japan 
outsailed her. 
The race between the Presto, sailed by Frank Stone; 
the Truant, sailed by ex-Commodore Pew, and the 
.^^olus, handled by ex-Commodore Wcsterfeldt, was well 
sailed. The Presto won handily after a close sail 
throughout, but the Truant only beat the JEo\m 22 sec- 
onds for second place. 
The Spray won cleverly from the Neried, the Emma 
won the 36-foot class event by a narrow margin, and the 
Harpoon, after an exciting race, beat the Speedwell, Ariel 
and Mischief. The race was really between th eHarpoon 
and Speedwell, and although the Speedwell beat her in 
actual sailing time the Harpoon got the verdict by 45 
seconds in the corrected time. The Harpoon belongs in 
a smaller class than the Speedwell, so she received allow- 
ances. 
The judges were P. J. Martenstein, E. B. Learning and 
W. P. Harrold. George W. Harrold served as measurer.

Beverly Y. C. 
BUZZARDS BAY. 
Saturday, June 15. 
The yachting season was opened at Cape Cod Saturday 
by the Beverly Y. C. The race was sailed in a cold north- 
east gale off the club house at Wing's Neck, and all yachts 
carried reefs. Four classes starteid. In the 2S-footers was 
the champion May Queen and a new one. Kalama III., 
designed by her owner, David Rice, and built by Phinney, 
of Monument Beach.. Kalarna III. ran away from May 
Queen down the wind, but the old boat made it all back 
and more too when it came to windward work. In 
the 2i-footers, the Herreshoff-designed champion 
Quakeress had things all her own way. She has recently 
been overhauled by Herreshoff, and w^as in perfect trim 
for the race. A new boat, designed by Herreshoff, Radi- 
ant, did not make much of a showing, but it was her first 
race, and it is expected that she will do better when she 
has been turned up. In the i8-footers, Eunice, designed 
and built by Huckins, of Onset, for W. O. Taylor, of 
Boston, proved a winner in her maiden race. She was 
led by Allison down the wind, but on the windward work 
she hauled into first place and kept it. Spider won easily 
in the 15-footers. The summary:

Hull— Massachusetts Y* C 
HULL, MASS. 
Saturday, June 15. 
The race of the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. on Saturday 
was decidedly not a success on account of the lack of 
wind. The 25-footers Calypso and Flirt were given the 
outside course, and did not have wind enough to even get 
back into the bay. The race of the handicap class and 
the 18- footers started off well, but on the second round 
became a drift. In the i8-footers Aspinquid took the 
lead at the start and held it until after the second mark 
was passed, when Bonito went by her and held first place 
to the finish. Mildred won easily in the handicap class.
