ANNISQUAM^ MASS. 
Friday, Aug. 9. 
The first of the 'scries of Y. R. A. open races, given 
by the Annisquam Y. C, was sailed in Ipswich Bay, Fri- 
day, Aug. 9, in a strong, whole-sail breeze from the S.W. 
Besides the Y. R. A. classes, there were classes open to 
yachts in the vicinity of Cape Ann, and handicap classes. 
In the 25-footers Calypso was first at the line on the 
start, and she led over the course, finishing with a good 
margin. In the 21-footers Mildred II. showed up like 
Calypso in the larger class. She was never headed after 
the starting gun was fired. In the i8ft. class there were 
the cracks from the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. and Susan 
of the Anisquam Y. C. Susan won by 2s. in the closest 
and most interesting race of the day. In Class T Nymph 
withdraw and Plunger finished it out alone. Thoi^dis 
had local boats to compete with in Class L, and she won 
by less than a minute, the Herreshoff-designed 25-footer 
Onda being second. The wins w^ere all easy in the handi- 
cap classes, and in the class for sailing dories. There 
was a race for latmches which was very interesting, the 
finishes being quite close. The summary:

Saturday, Aug. lo. 
There was plenty of wind for the second race of the 
Annisquam Y. C. Y. R. A. open series. It was from the 
S.W. in quantities, and all of the yachts came to the 
starting line with reefs. It was the story of the previous 
day, with the 25-footer Calypso and the 21-footer Mil- 
dred II., only the victories in each case were more de- 
cisive. Thordis won again in Class L, but in the x8ft. 
knockabout class Bacchante had things all her own way. 
In a breeze of this kind Bacchante can make them all 
hustle. A number of the yachts in the small classes found 
the breeze a little too strong and withdrew before the 
finish. The summary:

NEWPORT, R. I. 
Wednesday, Aug. 14. 
The final race for Constitution and Columbia, given by 
the New York Y. C. oflf Newport, had to be called oft" 
for lack of wind. The race could not be postponed, as 
both the big boats had agreed to race at Larchmont on 
Friday. ,~ , , , 
The Regatta Committee was oir board the steam yacht 
Electra. At 11 130 a windward and leeward race was 
signaled, with the compass course S.S.E. The prepara- 
tory signal was given at 11 :35, and the warning signal 
followed at 11:40. At 11:45 the boats were sent away, 
an4 at this time the wind was light, having a strength of 
not over five, knots. Constitution got quite the best of 
the start. About half an hour after the start Constitution 
was an eighth of a mile on Columbia's weather bow. 
Shortly after ihis the little wind that the boats had at the 
start dropped, and they lay becalmed with hardly stear- 
age way on. After three hours and forty minutes of this 
monotonous work, the two nineties withdrew. 
In the yawl class Vigijant got away first, followed by 
Navahoe. Then came Rainbow and Virginia in the order 
named. Navahoe had caught up with Vigilant when they 
gave up the- race, and Rainbow was well in the lead of 
Virginia when they quit. 
East Glottcestei* Y. C. 
GLOUCESTER;, MASS. 
Thursday, Aug. 8. 
The Y. R. A. race of the East Gloucester Y." C. was 
sailed in Gloucester Harbor Thursday, Aug. 8, in pretty 
much all kinds of breezes. It was about S.W. at the 
start, but kept backing until it was easterly at the finish. 
It was light at times and again there was a squall, which 
sprawled the big fellows alLout and made the little ones 
reef. Calypso took the start in the 25-footers and led 
over the course. This was the case with Mildred II. in 
the 21-footers. In the i8-footers Snapshot withdrew and 
Plunger finished alone. Dorothea won handily in the 
15-footers. There Avere three handicap classes. In the 
first Circe 11. had things all her own way. This was 
true of Bernice in the second class, and in. the third class 
Comforter was the only boat ta finish. The summary: '

Beverly Y* C. 
MONUMENT BEACH, MASS. 
Saturday, Aug. 10. 
The Van Renssalaer cup was sailed for by the yachts 
of the Beverly Y. C. on Saturday, Aug. 10, all classes 
racing in one. There was half a gale blowing from the 
S.W., aird the larger boats had the best of it. They 
came for the starting line in a btmch, and the champion 
May Queen soon went to the fore. She led all the way 
around the course, bttt was closely pressed by Thorana. 
Thorana got into a mix up with Pompano, in which 
Pompano's mast was carried away, but it is thought that 
May Queen would have won even if this did not happen. 
There was also a race for 15-footers for a cup offered by 
Mrs. Stone. The first three boats were very close in this 
class, Flickamaro winning by over 2m., and Next and 
Uarda crossing within one second of each other. The

The club race of the Beverly Y. C. was sailed off the 
club house at Wing's Neck Saturday, Aug. 17, in a strong 
S.W. breeze. Almost every boat carried a single reef. 
In the 25-footers May Queen won from Kalama III. by 
only los. In the 21-footers Radiant beat out the cham- 
pion Quakeress by 7m. and 30s. In the fourth class, cats,

Misery Island Y* C. 
SALEM HARBOR, MASS. 
Wednesday, Aug. 7. 
The Misery Island Y. C, which has recently been ad- 
mitted to the Yacht Racing Association of Massachusetts, 
gave an open race under Association rules on Wednes- 
day, Aug. 7. There was a rattling S.W. breeze blow- 
ing and the racing was very interesting. In the 25-footersi 
Chewink went over the line at the sound of the gun andl 
led all over the course. She had to fight for her vic- 
tory, however, as Flirt and Calypso pressed her hard.) 
Calypso made the fastest time over the course, but as she 
was late at the starting- line, this did her no good. As] 
they passed the east end of Misery Island the spinnakers' 
of Flirt and Chewink jibed and Flirt's spinnaker pole 
was broken as it came across her headstay. 
In the 2ift. class Mildred II., designed- and built by, 
Shiverick, led the class from the first mark tO' the finish-t 
She was the last boat over the starting line. There was; 
a very hot scrap between Tabasco III. and Opitsah IIT.J 
for second place. They luffed up into the fleet when! 
near the line, and Tabasco III. pulled over the line iis.^ 
ahead. In the raceabout class Pompelia got the start and 
led easily over the course. In the special handicap class 
Oivana won, but lest to Thordis on corrected time. The
