FOREST ANQ_ STREAM* 
(May 31, tgoi 
One of the Boardman boys will sail her, but it is not 
certain which. 
The Eastern Y. C. is preparing for a most busy sea- 
son, In addition to the races which it has elected to give 
for the restricted Y. R. A. classes and the i8ft. knock- 
abouts, it has also been decided to give a series of races 
for yachts of the club of 30ft. waterline and over. These 
race's will be sailed from Marblehcad to Gloucester on 
June 14, July 12, July 26 and Aug. 16. Each race will 
be sailed strictly in cruising trim, and there will be no 
specially laid compass courses. The boats may take 
either the inside or the outside course, and it is ex- 
pected that on this account more interest will be shown. 
After the arrival of the fleet at Gloucester on each of 
these race days, it wil be under command of the flag 
officers. The yacht owners and their friends will be 
tendered an evening reception on board one of the larger 
yachts. Com. A. S. Bigelow will give the first reception 
on board his new steam yacht, Pantooset. It has been 
announced that the fleet will rendezvous at Marblehead 
for the annual cruise on Friday, June 27, when the Com- 
modore's cups will be raced for. Com. Bigelow has given 
four cups, two for schooners and two for sloops. On 
Saturday, June 28, the cruise eastward to Bar Harbor 
will commence. The programme of each day's run will 
be announced later. The cruise is made early this year so 
that the fleet will all be present when the New York Y. C. 
fleet reaches Marblehead. The Eastern Y. C. is making 
preparations to receive the New York yachtsmen, and it 
is hoped that there may be some good racing in the bay. 
The programme of the Y. R. A. open race of the Hull- 
Massachusetts Y. C. has been announced for June 17. 
Beside the Association classes, invitations have been ex- 
tended to the Eastern, Beverly, Corinthian and Harvard 
yacht clubs to attend. This is as it should be, and it is 
hoped that yachts of the invited clubs will appear. Only 
the three restricted classes of the Association in which 
yachts are now being raced will be provided for, and 
they will be sent over the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C.'s 
regular outside courses. The race will be started at 11 
A. M. Entries may be made to Mr. A. T. Bliss, Secretary 
of the M. Y. R. A., before noon of June 16. 
At Lawley's the new steam yacht Satilla, designed by 
Fred LaAvley for Mr. John C. Strawbridge, of Philadel- 
phia, was launched last Thursday. She is now fitting out 
in the basin. The Y. R. A. 25-footer, Sally VI., was 
hauled out on the railway last week to have extra lead 
put on her keel. The schooner Hildegarde left the basin 
last Saturday and is now hauled out in the drydock. She 
will probably start for Philadelphia this week. It may 
be possible that this schooner will sail for England in a 
short time. In Lawley's west shop the Weetamoe has 
been smoothed up on the outside and her deck has been 
laid. The Binney-designed 46-footer is nearly ready to 
go overboard, as is also the 33ft. yawl for Dr. Stewart 
Paton. The cabin work is being finished on the 35-footer 
of Lawley-design for Mr. W. H. Fleetman, of New 
York. In the east shop the 25-footer for Hon. William 
Caleb Loring and the 30-rater for Mr. W. C. Allison are 
partly planked. The Mower-designed 21ft. cruiser is 
nearly ready to go overboard, as is also the auxiliary 25ft. 
cat. A 65ft. launch, designed by Fred Lawley, has been 
set up. 
Next Friday the opening race of the season will be 
given by the South Boston Y. C. It is expected that 
about all the Y. R. A. restnicted boats that have been 
built during the winter will be present. Several of these 
boats have been having impromptu scraps at Marblehead 
with varying successes. 
Starling Burgess starts around the Cape to-day to de- 
liver the 21-footer Firefly to F. L. Adriance at Bristol. 
N. L. Skene and I. B. Pierce, of his office, will take the 
21-footer Peggy to Vineyard Haven, and E. N. Burwell 
will take the 30ft. yawl designed for Mr. J. H. Richard- 
son, to Saybrook. John B. Killeen.

ESSINGTON, DELAWARE RIVER. 
Saturday, May 17. 
The first series race for the Tinicum Island cups was 
held on Saturday, May 17. The breeze was very light in 
the morning, but shortly before n o'clock it came up with 
sufficient strength from the W.S.W. to warrant the 
judges to start the boats. Bobtail was first over the 
line, Cherokee, Grayling and Paukewis following in the 
order named. Bobtail drew away from the bunch at the 
start and continued to increase her lead all through the 
race, and won by some 15m. The race between Paukewis 
and Grayling was most interesting, as they finished within 
3s. of one another. The course for the 36-footers was a 
long one, the distance being about thirty miles. 
The summary : 
3Gft. Class— Start, U:10.

Bobtail, Edgar T. Scott.: 4 53 32 5 43 32

The knockabouts were sent away before the 36-footers 
finished, to sail over an eight-mile course from a point off 
the club house to and around Cluster Island and return. 
Three boats started, and until they squared away for the 
run back there was no great distance between them. 
Fareeda finally slipped away from the other two and fin- 
ished a winner. The summary:

Rowdv, Charles Ecmgstreth ^. 5 25 29 3 10 29 
Raccoon, R. J. W. Koon 5 25 35 3 10 35 
The system of scoring to be used in the series is as fol- 
lows: In each race each yacht shall be credited with a 
number of points equal to the number of yachts she de- 
feats, with one point added as a premium for entry. A 
yacht which starts but does not finish or is disqualified 
will receive no points, but will be counted as a defeated 
yacht in assigning points to her competitors. In order 
to qualify for the series prize, a yacht must start in at 
least three of the five races above scheduled. No yacht 
shall be counted in awarding points to others after it has 
become impossible for her to qualify in. the; series. The 
record of a yacht shall be the percentage which the total 
number of points to her credit at the end of the series 
bears to the total number of points she would have re- 
ceived had she won every race in which she started. Two 
yacht? at least must start to constitute a race. 
In addition to the cups to be awarded to' the winners 
of the series, the club will present a second prize to the 
yacht finishing second on the same system of scoring, 
provided four or more enter and sail the series. 
Should the yacht winning the first or second prize in 
the above series have been manned with a strictly Corin- 
thian crew in all her races, the club will present in- 
dividual Corinthian prizes to each member of her crew.

PORT WASHINGTON, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, May 24. 
The second series race for the club raceabouts was 
held on Saturday, May 24. Four boats started, the course 
being, from a starting line off the club house out and 
around Gangway buoy and return, a distance of about six 
niiles. The wind was strong from the W.S.W.

Competition for the Seawhanhaka Corinthian 
Y. C 
The competition for the Seawanhaka Corinthian 15- 
footers which was arranged by the publishers of Forest 
and Stream, and closed on May 15, proved an unquali- 
fied success. Thirty-two designs in all were submitted, 
and as they were of a superior order, the judging has 
been most difficult. The fact that Messrs. Clinton H. 
Crane, A. Cary Smith, John Hyslop and John R. Max- 
well, Jr., composed the committee that passed upon the 
drawings, shows that the decisions are particularly just 
and fair. Although three prizes were offered, there is no 
doubt about the club adopting the plans submitted by Mr. 
Allen D. Woods, of New York city, to whom" was 
awarded the first prize. 
The following letter has been received from Mr. J. R. 
Maxwell, Jr., the secretary of the committee on awards : 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
At a meeting to judge the designs submitted for the 
Seawanhaka 15ft. class, the committee announced the fol- 
lowing decision : 
First Prize, $100 — Allen D. Woods, New York city. 
Second Prize, $50 — Morgan Barnev, New York city. 
Third Prize, $25— Charles H. Hall,' Brooklyn, N. Y. 
Honorary Mention — Two designs submitted by Alfred 
E. Luders, New York city.

NEW ROCHELLE, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, May 24. 
The spring regatta of the New Rochelle Y. C. was held 
on Saturday afternoon. May 24. Three raceabouts 
started, but the greatest interest was centered in Seawan- 
haka cup trial boats Nutmeg and Seeress. It was the 
first time this season that any of these boats have met in 
an actual race. Massasoit, the boat owned by a syndicate 
headed by Mr. Thomas Macdonald, of Bridgeport, cap- 
sized on her way down the Sound on Friday night, and 
in consequence was not on hand. The crew of Seeress 
was made up as folo'ws: Charles D. Mower, helmsman; 
Edward MacLellan, main sheet; Harry S. Fairchild, run- 
ners, and Albert B. Hunt, light sails. On board Nutmeg 
was Larry Huntington, who sailed her ; James D. Spark- 
man, main sheet; W. Mills, runners, and W. Irving 
Zerega, light sails ; these men, however, do not constitute 
thAboat's regular crew— in fact, it was the first time 
they*Were ever aboard her. Nutmeg's topsides had opened 
up badly and in consequence when on the windward leg 
of the course she leaked badly, and her crew took turns 
keeping her free from water. 
_ For some unknown reason the race was delayed some 
time, and the boats did not get away imtil an hour after 
the scheduled time. All the boats sailed over the club's 
short course from the starting line in Echo Bay to the 
Hen and Chicken Reef to the Middle Ground buoy on 
Execution Reef to the starting point, twice over the 
course, a total distance of eight and a half miles. The 
first Jeg was a run, the second a beat, and the third a 
reach. The breeze was fresh and puffy from the W.S.W. 
Seeress was first away in her class and in the windward 
berth,, but Nutmeg was close behind, and having more 
headway she shot out in the weather position. Seeress 
at the start had in two reefs in the. mainsail and carried a 
small jib. while Nutmeg had in only one reef, and had on 
her regular working jib. On the reach to the first mark 
Nutmeg worked into the lead in good shape, and it was 
not -until a balloon jib was set on Seeress that Nutmeg 
ceased drawing ahead. At the first mark Nutmeg was 
15s. in the lead, but from that time on she slowly dropped 
behind. At the end of the first round Seeress was 3m. 
ahead, and finally finished a winner by over 7m. Nutmeg 
was forced to carry a reefed mainsail, as it set badly with 
the reef shaken out; this fact along with her leaky condi- 
tion partially accounted for her indifferent showing. 
In the raceabout class Mavis (ex Merry wing) sailed a 
pretty race, beating Snapper, sailed by Bryan Alley, by a 
good margin. 
The New Rochelle one-design raceabouts met for the 
first time. They seemed to be very smart little boats, 
carrying their sail well in the fresh breeze, and appeared 
to move fast. Knave won, beating Me Too by 3^m.
