Brooklyn Y, C. 
p" BENSONHURST, GRAVESEND BAY. 
The Brooklyn Y. C. is contemplating a season of un- 
usual activity. New members are coming in continually, 
a great many being boat owners attracted thither by the 
prospect of a real season of live j r achting. 
There will be no annual regatta this year. The an^ 
riual cruise starts on July 12. the rendezvous being off 
the Manhasset Bay Y, C.,*Port Washington, L. I. All the 
prominent harbors on Long Island Sound will be visited 
"during the cruise. 
Fort Pond Bay, just inside of Montauk Point, will be 
the eastern terminus. From there the yachts are to have 
Sft ocean race homeward to the anchorage in Gravesend 
Bay for cups given by the flag officers. 
A number of two-day cruises have been arranged, 
which promise good sport. Cups are also offered by the 
flag officers .for the craft getting the greatest total mileage 
made in cruising trim during the months of June, July 
and August. One prize is for yachts under 30ft. sail- 
ing length, and the other for boats over 30ft. and under 
50ft. sailing length. The measurement rule in this com- 
petition will be the water line plus one-half the over- 
hang, there being no restrictions as to sail area, The 
cruising schedule of the club for the present season fol- 
lows : 
June 14 and 15. — To Horseshoe at Sandy Hoolc on 14th and re-

South Boston Y* C. 
! : CITY POINT, BOSTON HARBOR. 
Friday, May 30. 
At last the yacht racing season has been opened in 
Massachusetts Bay. The opening race, given by the 
South Boston Yacht Club, was sailed off City Point on 
Memorial Day and there was plenty of wind for all. 
There was perhaps a trifle more breeze than might have 
been desired by the owners of the new Y. R. A. boats, 
and those which had been delivered only a short time 
before stood an excellent chance of having their sails 
stretched out of shape. There were not quite as many 
of the new boats of the restricted classes as might have 
been desired, but the classes, on the whole, were very 
well filled. In the restricted 25-foot class there were 
two of the new keel boats, Sally VI., designed by Fred 
Lawley for L. F. Percival, and. Chewink II., designed 
by Crowninshield for F. G. Macomber, Jr. The strong, 
puffy westerly breeze was much to the liking of the cen- 
terboard, Calypso, last season's champion, and the race 
in this class was most noteworthy on account of the 
trimming she gave the keel boats. There was- not a 
moment after the start that they were in it with her. 
Two of the new ones showed up in the restricted 21- 
s'ooters, Little Haste, designed by Burgess for T. K. 
Lothrop, Jr., and Perhaps II., designed by Jefferson 
Borden for J. E. Robinson. Little Haste is a center- 
board boat of extreme type, a perfect slab, and was 
•intended for just the kind of weather that prevailed dur- 
ing; the opening race. Perhaps II. is also a center- 
board, but is not so extreme and is not so long on top. 
Perhaps was sailed very well. She got the best of the 
start and it looked as though she would make a strong 
bid for first place, but she had only been delivered to her 
owner a short time before the race, and in the heavy 
breeze her reefed mainsail was pulled all out of shape. 
This did her no good, although it is likely that, under 
the conditions, Little Haste would have got away with 
her anyway. From the turning of the second mark the 
race was all Little Haste's. Tabasco III., one of last sea- 
son's boats, designed by Lawley, made a good showing, 
getting by Perhaps II. and finisbmg in second place. 
Three of the new 18-foot knockabouts showed up, 
Malillian, designed by Crowninshield for B. S. Permar; 
Tokolon, designed by Small Bros, for R. J. Randolph, 
Jr., and Lobadoba, designed by Burgess for Carroll 
Brown. Malillian took the start and led all over the 
•course. Tokolon made a good showing and finished a 
close second. The most exciting race of the day was 
between Thordis and Bobs in the unrestricted 25-footers. 
They were together from start to finish, only one second 
separating them at the end. Thordis is a Cape cat, 
designed by Hanley. and Bobs is one of the Bar 
Harbor 25-footers, designed by Crowninshield. The 
Dorchester Y. C. one-design dories showed up well in 
their first race and sailed close throughout. The sum- 
mary:

Atlantic Y. C. Race. 
SEA GATE, GRAVESEND BAY. 
May 30, 1902. 
The Atlantic Y. C. held its first club race on Memorial 
Day. The yachts sailed twice over the smaller associa- 
tion course, aggregating a distance of approximately six 
miles. The winners were Cockatoo, Song and Dance 
and Opossum. 
Starting from a line between a stake boat anchored off 
the club station and the shore, the boats proceeded to a 
buoy off the Brooklyn Y. C, thence to the Government 
buoy off Fort Hamilton, and from there to the starting 
line. 
During the race the wind was piping strongly from 
south-southwest, making reefing advisable. The course 
covered gave almost no windward work. It was a reach 
to the first mark, a close reach to the second and a 
broad reach home. 
The crack little Herreshoff flyer, Vivian, sailed a match 
race with Hendon Chubb' s Cockatoo on time allowance 
left to the judgment of George Hill, chairman of the 
regatta committee. This allowance turned out to be six 
minutes for the six-mile course, almost twice the time if 
figured under usual conditions. 
During the first round of the race. Cockatoo had some 
trouble with her jib, which set her back materially. In 
spite of this, however, she covered the course fast enough 
to win by im. and 5s, corrected time. In justice to the 
Bristol built boat it must be said that her strong point is 
going to windward, a feature almost entirely lacking in 
the whole contest. 
In the regular class P, the old rivals Song and Dance, 
and Cockatoo, competed. The accident to the jib of 
Cockatoo injured her chances and Song and Dance was 
the victor by a good margin. 
Pebble and Opossum started in class R and the lat- 
ter won the race by 38s. The boats kept together through- 
out the struggle. Although Opossum was handicapped 
over a minute by a poor start, she managed to take the 
laurels in her maiden race on Gravesend Bay. Opossum 
measures 17.985 racing length, while Pebble is only 16.35. 
Wraith covered the course alone in good time. The sum- 
maries follow: 
Match Race— Start, 3:09.

Vivian, S. E. Vernon 4 00 57 0 51 57

The winners were Cockatoo, Song and Dance and 
Opossum. 
Circulars for the annual spring regatta of the At- 
lantic Y. C. will be sent out this week. The race occurs 
this year on Tuesday, June 17, two days before the fifty- 
sixth anual regatta of the New York Y. C. It is felt 
that many boats will be in New York Harbor during the 
week beginning June 16, and that the Atlantic race will 
have a good entry. 
The following craft have formally entered for all of the 
races of the Sea Gate organization: Schooner Uncas, 
James Weir, Jr. ; sloops, Selnada. J. Fred Ackerman ; Pil- 
grim, W. W. Butcher; Eclipse, L. J. Callanan; Eelin, F. 
L. Rodwald; Cockatoo, Hendon Chubb; Wraith, Calvin 
Tomkins ; Wiliwin, Frank M. Randall, and Pickaninny, 
L. R. Connett. 
In the contests of this year the club is to give prizes 
to the Corinthian members of every winning crew. These 
trophies are in the form, of a solid silver medal, a little 
larger than a five-cent piece, on which rests the club 
flag in raised enamel and gold. From this prize hangs a 
silver bar upon which is engraved the date of the race. 
Members of winning Corinthian crews are to get an ad- 
ditional bar as the reward of every contest won after 
the 'first. 
The usual club medallion will be given to the winning 
boat as heretofore. It is this year of a new design, how- 
ever, the medal itself being circular, about 3111. in diame- 
ter and of silver. The center is in oxidize and repre- 
sents the club seal. The club book is now being dis- 
tributed to members. 
Hull-Massachusetts Y+ C. 
HULL, BOSTON HARBOR. 
Saturday, May 31. 
The first race of the Hull-Massachusetts Yacht Club 
and the second of the open Y. R. A. series was sailed 
off Hull on Saturday in a moderately fresh to light 
southeast breeze. The same old contest was on among 
the 25-footers and this time the keel boats returned the 
compliment of Friday to Calypso with interest. When 
the breeze was strongest the centerboard had an even 
chance, but it cannot be said that she had any more. 
When it commenced to lighten somewhat, both Sally VI. 
and Chewink II- got away with her. Both keel boats 
are very pretty sailers, Sally VI. having thus far shown 
up the better of the two. She is a beautiful boat in the 
water and handles like a top. It is safe to say that she 
will make a strong bid for the championship, judging 
from Saturday's weather, which was of the kind which 
mostly prevails in Massachusetts during the racing sea- 
son. Three more new ones took chances with Little 
Haste in this race — Pilot, designed by Burgess; Opit- 
sah IV., designed by Burgess, and Micmac, designed by 
Crowninshield. Little Haste again trimmed the class 
in a manner that left no doubt. Pilot was an easy sec- 
ond and Tabasco III. showed her heels to the other three 
new ones. The Biza, designed by Fred Lawley, came 
out for her first race and sailed a good one, finishing 
only three seconds behind Malillian. Malillian has had 
plenty of tuning up, while Biza was fresh from the basin. 
Close contests may be looked for between these two. 
In the handicap class Spinster III., formerly Gosling, 
now owned by L. M. Clark, won a good race. The 
summary:

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
OYSTER BAY, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Friday, May 30. 
The Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. went into commis- 
sion at 12 o'clock, noon, on Friday, May 30. In the af- 
ternoon the first race of the season was held. The Man- 
hasset Bay Y. C. raceabouts had raced up from Port 
Washington in the morning and were given a class. On 
the run up Arizona won, beating the Mist im. 4s., and the 
Lambkin, -3m. 36s. In the afternoon race the order of 
the finish was reversed. The Lambkin won by 11s. The 
Mist was second, 34s. ahead of the Arizona. 
In the raceabout class Joker made the best time, but 
fouled Jolly Roger, and her skipper acknowledged the 
foul, and the race was awarded to Jolly Roger. The 
race for Seawanhaka knockabouts was won by Marcia, 
sailed by Johnston de Forest. 
The boats sailed over the knockabout course No. 2, for 
raceabouts owned by members of the Seawanhaka-Cor- 
inthian Y. C. ; Seawanhaka knockabouts, and Manhasset 
Bay raceabouts. The wind was fresh from the south- 
west until late in the afternoon, when it veered to the 
northwest and flattened out.

Saturday, May 31. 
Saturday's race at Oyster Bay was a good one, as 
four of the Seaivanhaka Cup trial boats met for the 
first time. As - Massasoit, the Crowninshield boat, had 
handily beaten the Jones & La Borde boat, Tecumseh, 
and Seeress had beaten Nutmeg, it was interesting to see 
what the two winners would do when pitted against each 
other. 
The course was a seven-mile triangle, with the start 
and finish off the north point of Centre Island. The 
first mark was set two miles to the NNW., the second 
2*4 miles EJ^N, thence 2% miles SW. by S., to the 
finish. 
It was a run with spinnakers to port to the first mark, 
a gybe there, and a broad reach to the next mark ; thence 
windward work to the finish. 
The day was ideal for small boat racing, the sea being 
smooth, and there was a nice whole sail breeze from the 
southwest. 
Seeress was just on the line at the start, with Mas- 
sasoit just under her lee. Balloon jibs were broken out 
and spinnakers set just after starting. All the way to the 
first mark it was nip and tuck between Massasoit and 
Seeress. When about two-thirds down the first leg 
Seeress's spinnaker guy parted, letting the pole run for- 
ward and the sail dropped into the water. Before the 
sail was again set the ballooner was taken in, the boom 
gybed over and the spinnaker again set on the starboard 
side. Seeress was first around the mark, with Massasoit 
just behind; it was a reach to the second mark and on 
this leg Seeress slowly but surely drew away from Mas- 
sasoit until the second mark was reached, when at this 
point she had a substantial lead. The last leg was the 
windward one and it was here that Massasoit showed her 
wonderful windward qualities. She did not seem to 
point so close as Seeress, but footed faster. On the sec- 
ond tack Massasoit crossed Seeress' bows and continued 
to draw away slowly from her until she finished. It was 
a very interesting and exciting race. Nutmeg and Te- 
cumseh sailed a close race over the course, but were never 
in the first flight with Massasoit and Seeress. The con- 
clusions drawn from the race are that Massasoit and
