FOREST AND STREAM. 
probability of Mr. ^milius Jarvis being at her tiller. So, 
at least, it is reported, although Mr. Jarvis has been fully 
occupied with his splendid 50-footer Merrythought, which 
■ cruises under a yawl rig and races under a cutter rig 
on twenty-four hours' notice. It is almost certain that 
both Mr. Jarvis and Com. Gooderham will be in the 
racing crew, but it has not yet been decided which shall 
be in command. G. Herrick Duggan, of Montreal, of 
both Seawanhaka and Canada cup fame, has been men- 
tioned as a possible skipper for the challenging yacht, but 
in contradiction of the rumor that he was going to sail her 
it has been stated that he has not even been approached 
on the subject. Mr. Duggan designed the Canada cup 
defender Toronto in iSgg and sailed in her. There is no 
doubt that he would make a good skipper. 
Invader has been sailing nearly every day since her 
launch, except when on the dry dock. The result is 
that she is a known quantity to those who will have to 
sail her. Some of her recent performances have been 
decidedly encouraging. After receiving her extra ballast 
she was out in a stiff breeze with Beaver. The latter boat 
has never yet met her equal in heavy weather, but In- 
vader hung on to her and made a much better showing 
than she did in the last trial races", when there was con- 
siderable wind. On July 19 Invader had a tilt with 
Canada, which shows her abilities. The famous winner 
of the international trophy, to which she gave a name, was 
standing down Toronto Bay with a light southerly breeze. 
Invader oA-erhauled her and commenced to pass to wind- 
ward. Being a smaller boat, she could not completely 
blanket Canada, the latter's jib topsail and gaff topsail 
being bej^ond her reach. The inevitable luffing match 
followed, but Invader kept to windward and slowly edged 
out ahead. When Canada had dropped two lengths astern 
she came in stays and started back up the Bay. Invader 
wore instead of staying and started after the cup bringer 
again. She rapidly overhauled her and passed her to 
leeward, and then, crowning indignity, crossed her bows 
and got to windward of her, thus completing the circle 
that she had sailed around her opponent. 
Of course Canada Avas not out prepared for . a race. 
Neither was Invader, for that matter. There is a differ- 
ence of nearly loft. racing measurement between the two 
boats, and the smaller one certainly behaved in a way 
to make her owner feel proud.

Newport Harbor Fete Committee, 
Newport, R. I., July 17, ipot. 
Lewis Cass Ledyard, Commodore New York Y. C, New 
York. 
Dear Sir: On Tuesday, July 30, the citizens of New-

squadron and New York Y. C. The features are as fol- 
lows: Cutter race at 10 A. M. between crews of the 
North Atlantic squadron; an exhibition by the Holland 
torpedo bp^t n A. M.; ? P. M-, ^ para4e oi sailori, 
marines. United States regulars, local military and naval 
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, U. S. A., with aides who served 
organization.s. 
in the Spanish-American war, will be chief marshal. A 
general illumination of the entire lower part of the citv 
and harbor will take place between 8 P. M. and 11 P. M. 
This is the first opportunity we have had since the 
Spanish-American war of honoring the North Atlantic 
squadron and your fleet, and we are, therefore, most de- 
sirous in having it a complete success. The North Amer- 
ican squadron, torpedo and training station. War College 
and Fort Adams will give an elaborate display. 
We ask your hearty co-operation in this illumination. 
We are. respectfully, F. P. Garrettson.

fireworks, which will lend additional beauty to the New- 
port display. 
The meeting was adjourned until Aug. 22. to permit of 
candidates for membership being voted upon before the 
trial races for the America Cup. 
Qtfincy Y, C 
QUINCY, MASS. - '\ 
Friday, July 19. 
The Quincy Y. C, had rather hard luck in its open 
race, sailed off the club house Friday, July 19. While 
there was a breeze all the time, there was a thick fog 
which shut down over the whole bay, closing the racers 
from the view of those on the shore. Notwithstanding 
this, the racing was good. The breeze was from the east- 
ward, fairly strong at the start, but becoming lighter as 
the fog shut down. 
Most of the interest was centered in the 2S-footers, of 
which there were but two to finish. Calypso and Chewink, 
Hostess being disabled. They went over the starting line 
at about the same time, but Chewink hauled inside Calypso 
and took the weather berth. Calypso was footing faster, 
but Chewink was so close that the centerboard could not 
get away. Finally Chewink tacked, and Calypso imme- 
diately went about under her stern and walked through 
her lee. After this Calypso had things all her own way. 
In the 2ift. class a new comer made her appearance, 
Mildred II., designed by Shiverick for S. P. Moses. She 
got the" best of the start and led Zaza all around the 
course. In the iSft. knockabouts there was a good race. 
The finish between Aspinquid and Nethla was very close. 
In fact, all four boats entered finished within im. There 
were also two handicap classes which furnished good 
sport. The summary :

A ladies' day race was given by the Duxbury Y. C. on 
Saturday, July 20, one of the conditions being that each

WINTHROP, MASS. 
Saturday, July 20. 
In the Y. R. A. race of the Winthrop Y. C. sailed in 
Boston Harbor, Saturday, July 20, the 25-footer Calypso* 
added another victory to her already long list. She beat, 
both Crowninshield keel boats Chewink and Flirt. In this 
class all were bunched at the start, with Calypso in the 
weather berth. She established a lead before one-sixth of 
the course had been sailed, and kept it to the finish. Both 
keel boats followed close after her. 
Hostess made her debut in the open 25ft. class, and suc- 
ceeded in getting away with the Cape cat Thordis and 
Romance with ease. In the 2T-footers Mildred 11. re- 
peated her performance at Quincy on Friday, and this 
tune won from the whole bunch of cracks. The little 
Fantasy entered the open circuit for the first time in 
this race and won handily. In the i8ft. knockabouts 
Mahllian won in a close finish with Aspinquid. The new 
15-footer Tess won from the champion Vitesse by over 
a minute. There were two handicap classes made up of 
the regular handicap fleet of the Winthrop Y. C. In the 
first class Alert won and in the second class Henrietta 
took the money. There was a good, whole-sail breeze 
from the eastward. The summary:
