GLEN COVE TO HUNTINGTON BAY — COMMODORE'S CUP. 
Monday, July 22. 
-The fleet of yachts that congregated in the harbor of 
Glen Cove on the opening day of. the cmise of the New 
York Y. C. was undoubtedly the largest ever seen in any 
harbor in the world. The picture was a beautiful one, and 
almost every type of pleasure vessel was represented. The 
old schooner America was present, and there was excel- 
lent opportunity to compare her with Constitution and 
Columbia and note the development that has taken place 
in yacht designing and building in the past fifty years.

The race for the day was for the Commodore s cups, 
one for the schooners all in one class, one for single- 
masted vessels and yawls in one class in cruising trim and 
a cup for Constitution and Columbia in racing trim. The 
race for the Commodore's cup not to be counted as one of 
the regular squadron runs. 
At 2:15 the Regatta Committee— S. Nicholson Kane, 
Chester Griswold, and Newbury D. 'Lawton— gave .the 
preparatory signal. Course No. 3 had been signaled fof 
all classes, and was from a starting line off Matmicock 
Point eleven miles N.E. by E., 14 E., to and around a 
mark; thence five miles W.S.W., E., to and around 
the second mark, thence five and a half miles E.S.E., % 
E., to the finish line. With the wind from W,S.W., this 
gave the yachts a run on the first leg against a flood tide, 
a beat to the second buoy and a broad reach home. 
Ten minutes after the preparatory signal came the start 
for the single-masted vessels and yawls, and with spin- 
aker poles dropped they came down to the line. Navahoe 
crossed first with Ailsa a few seconds behind, followed by 
Athene, Rainbow, E'elin, Carmita, Vigilant, Mermaid, 
Hester, Humma and Bedouin, the two latter boats being 
handicapped. The schooners were sent away next with 
Quisetta well in the lead of the boats in her class. The 
other schooners crossed in the following order : Katrina, 
Muriel and Elmma; Amorita, Columbia, Marguerite, 
Wayward and America were handicapped. 
Constitution and Columbia were started at 2 :45. Co- 
lumbia got the best of the start, but Constitution moved 
along in wonderful style in the light breeze and soon 
passed Columbia. Constitution set her spinaker to port, 
while Columbia had hers on the starboard side. It was 
generally thought that Columbia was handicapped by 
having her spinaker to starboard, as neither her mainsail 
or spinaker drew as well as Constitution. Constitution 
moved through the fleet in fine style, and at 3:30 had 
overtaken the big yawl Navahoe. Light sails were taken 
in some time before reaching the leeward mark and luffed 
around the mark and came on the wind on the port tack. 
The times of the boats on rounding are as follows : 
Constitution 4 00 50 Humma 4 10 24 
Navahoe 4 02 51 Muriel 4 10 59 
Rainbow 4 03 34 Ouisetta 4 1112

Ailsa 4 04 45 Altair 4 14 34 
Athene 4 07 00 Mermaid 4 14 44 
It was risky business at this mark, as there were so 
many boats rounding at about the same time, _ but no 
accidents happened. The leg to windward was a short 
one, and was soon over. Navahoe sailed a splendid race, 
and beat Ailsa and Vigilant handily. Rainbow led in her 
class across the finish line. Elmina won in the schooner 
class. Muriel led at the first mark, Quisetta second and 
Elmina third. Quisetta lost some time by getting her jib 
topsail in the water when taking it in. The table showing 
the race of the 90-footers is as follows :

Second Day— First Squadron Run. 
HUNTINGTON BAY TO MORRIS COVE. 
Tuesday, July 23. 
The first of the squadron runs was tiresome and dis- 
appointing on account of calms, light and variable winds. 
The run was from a point off Eaton's Point, L. I., to 
Ludington Rock, near the entrance to Morris Cove, the 
outer harbor at New Haven, a distance of twenty-eight 
miles. 
A number of new yachts jointed the fleet before the 
start, among them the schooners Shamrock, Hildegarde, 
and the handsome new auxiliary Idler, designed by 
Messrs. Tams, Lcmoine & Crane for Mr. Henry T. 
Sloane. The start from the harbor was made at 10 o'clock. 
The Reverie with the Regatta Committee on board had a 
long wait at the starting line for the yachts to cross, as 
the light breeze made it almost impossible for them to get 
down to the line. The preparatory signal was made at 
11:05. 
The committee announced that several extra races were 
on the programme. The auxiliaries, which were to be 
sent off after the Cup defender class, were divided into 
two classes. One was for square-riggers, and in this class 
were Perry Belmont's Satanella. Nelson Perin's Enter- 
prise and Henry Rouse's Lady Godiva. These three are 
E'ngHsh-built yachts and are brigantine rigged. The other 
class was for fore-and-aft rigged vessels, and in it were 
Henry T. Sloane's Idler and Lloyd Phoenix's Intrepid, a 
three-master. Another class was made of the schooners 
Shamrock, Katrina and Latona. The schooners Loyal, 
owned by Robert P. Doremus, .and Wayward, owned 
by Frank B. Duryea, sailed a race by themselves. The old- 
time cutters Bedouin and Wenonah made another special 
class with the old sloop Hildegarde. 
The starting signal for sloops was made at ii:iS, and 
the English cutter, Eelin, was the first to cross, a minute 
later followed by Ailsa and Hester. The boats were hang- 
ing around the line without breeze enough to buck the 
tide and cross. Vigilant was badly handicapped by cross- 
ing the stakeboat on the wrong side, and had to return and 
recross the line. The rest of the single-stickers and yawls 
were very late in getting away. The starting signal for 
schooners was given at 11:20, and Quisetta was the only 
one to cross before the handicap gun was fired. Way- 
ward, Elmina, Katrina, Muriel, Latona, Emerald, Corona, 
America, Kirin, Uncas, Shamrock, Loyal, Marguerite. 
Woodmansie and Columbia followed. Constitution and 
Columbia were started at 11:35, the former first and the 
latter just under her lee. Columbia drew out from Con- 
stitution's lee, but shortly afterward was overtaken by 
Constitution. About i o'clock both boats were about 
abeam, and had overtaken Ailsa. A little after 2 o'clock 
the nineties had passed everything in the fleet. When 
off Stratford Shoal Constitution was about a mile in the 
lead of Columbia. About 4 o'clock the breeze came out of 
the_ N.W. rather fresh and enabled the boats to finish. 
Quisetta led the yachts in cruising trim across the finish 
line, followed by Rainbow, Corona, Athene, Navahoe, 
Ailsa, Emerald, Muriel, Vigilant, Elmina, Katrina, La- 
tona, Humma and Hester. This is the summary of the

Third Day — ^Second Squadron Run. 
MORRIS COVE TO NEW LONDON. 
Wednesday, July 24. 
The morning of the third day of the cruise opened with 
no breeze at all, and all hands were pretty well dis- 
heartened, but about 9:30 a Httle air sprung up from the 
S.W., increasing until it had a strength of about ten knots, 
sometimes blowing a little harder and then with less 
strength. 
The Regatta Committee were the guests of Mr. Henry 
Walters, on board the steam yacht Narada. The starting 
line was from a boat anchored off the breakwater to the 
steam yacht Naroda. The run to New London was about 
fort}^ miles in length. The preparatory signal was made at 
11:35, and ten minutes later the single-masted vessels and 
yawls were started. Navahoe was the first over, followed 
by Ailsa, and Vigilant last and to leeward. Effort was 
next across, and the rest crossed in the following order: 
Eelin, Salome, Altair, Carmita, Hester. Isolde, Hilde- 
garde, Humma, Isolt, Bedouin, Athene, Petrel, Rainbow 
and Mira. 
The handicap gun for single-masted vessels and yawls 
was the starting signal for schooners. Corona crossed in 
the lead. Emerald, Latona, America, Muriel. Katrina, 
Shamrock,. Loyal, Kirin, Columbia, Uncas, Marguerite 
and Quisetta following. In the start- for the 90-footers 
Capt. Barr showed his ability in such a manner as to im- 
press and startle every one who saw it. Capt. Rhoades 
was trying to put Constitution on Columbia's weather 
quarter, so that he could cross to windward in the better 
berth. Capt. Barr kept on his course, not wishing to be 
caught in such a predicament. Finally Constitution went 
about on the starboard tack. Columbia followed suit and
