AMERICAN POWER BOAT ASSOCIATION, HUDSON RIVER, N. Y. 
Saturday, June 20. 
The American Power Boat Association held its^ first 
open race under the auspices of the Columbia Y. C, on 
Saturday, June 20. The regatta was a success m every- 
way, and five classes filled. Fifteen boats started and 
all finished. , , , o- c 
The event was admirably managed by the offtcers ot 
the Association, consisting of Messrs. W. H. Ketchum 
and J. H. Mcintosh, Columbia Y. C. ; Mr. A. B. Co e, 
Manhasset Bay Y. C; Mr. Henry J. Gielow, of the 
Atlantic Y. C. being represented by Mr. C. C. Smith. 
At 2:30 the preparatory signal was given. There was 
but little air at the time, and the water was smooth. 
The tide was running flood. The course was from an 
imaginary line, off the club house. West Eighty-sixth 
street, to a mark off One Hundred and Forty-fifth 
street, thence to another mark off Sixtieth street, then 
back to the finish line, off the club house, a distance of 
eight miles. The two outer marks were placed on the 
edge of the channel over on the Jersey shore. 
Boats in class B started at 2:35. Gazelle was first 
over the line with Witaco just on her starboard quarter. 
Gazelle rounded the southerly mark, off Sixtieth street, 
several lengths in the lead, and crossed the finish line 
3m. I2s. ahead of Witaco, but loses the race on cor- 
rected time, as she has to concede Witaco several min- 
utes, owing to her greater length and more powerful 
motor. . , 
At 2:40 the four starters in class C were sent away. 
Senta was a little ahead at the start, with Queen Bess, 
Isolde and Chic following in the order named. Queen 
Bess soon pulled into first place, and made a big gain 
on the second leg under the Jersey shore. She beat 
Senta, the second boat, by a good margin. Chic was a 
close third. • , t-. j 
Gertrude had things her own way in class D, and 
finished over 5m. ahead of Lutuhezi, but the latter boat 
won the race easily on time allowance. 
In class K Privateer finished 3m. ahead of Taurus, 
but being a larger boat with more power, was beaten 
on corrected time by Taurus. 
A close race was seen in class L between Nepthus 
and Constant. These boats lost their competitors, 
Carmen and Anita, and had it neck and neck all over 
the course. Nepthus finished ahead by 8s., but Con- 
stant got the race on time. 
There were many present at the club house, and the 
members and their guests were able to watch the races 
from the wide varandas without getting wet, for it 
rained at intervals during the afternoon.

Seawanhafca-G)rinthian Y. C. 
■ OYSTER BAY, LONG ISLAND SOUND, 
Saturday, June 20. 
On Saturday, June 20, the three big boats, Reliance, 
Constitution and Columbia, sailed a race off Oyster 
Bay for a prize, offered bv the Seawanhaka-Corinthian 
Y. C. 
The day broke cloudy and threatening and it rained 
off and on. 
Mr. Johnston de Forest, chairman of the Regatta 
Committee, was aboard the committee boat, E. S. At- 
wood, together with the other members of the com- 
■ ;e. Tti? starting line was about a mile east c>f the 
buoy, off Center Island Point, and the course was three 
miles N. N. W., thence four miles E. by N. ^ N. and 
thence four and three-quarter miles S. W. by S. This 
triangle of eleven and three-quarter miles was covered 
twice, making a total distance of twenty-three and one- 
half miles. 
When the warning signal was given at 12:15. there 
was a five-knot N. E. breeze blowing. All three boats 
had been towed up to Oyster Bay. At 12:25 the warn- 
ing signal was heard. There was less jockeying at the 
start than there has been in the previous races. All 
the boats had medium sized jack yard topsails set. 
Reliance crossed in the weather berth with Columbia 
under her lee, but ahead. A reaching jib topsail was 
broken out on Reliance and she soon took Columbia's 
wind and pulled ahead. Columbia was carrying only 
a small jib topsail. Constitution got a poor s'tart, and 
had she gotten away better she would have been much 
nearer Reliance at the finish than she was. The follow- 
ing times were taken as the boats crossed: 
Columbia 12 30 21 Constitution 12 30 58 
Reliance 12 30 22 
It was a reach to the first mark, and booms were 
well off to port. Constitution, with a reaching jib top- 
sail set, soon overhauled Columbia, but that boat kept 
luffing out and would not allow the Belmont boat to 
pass her. While the luffing match was going on be- 
tween the two older boats. Reliance was fast getting 
away from them. When Columbia and Constitution 
squared away they had to ease sheets well off to run 
down to the mark. The boats were. timed there as fol- 
lows: 
Reliance 12 49 21 Constitution 12 51 35 
Columbia 12 51 32 
Reliance beat Constitution im. 59s. and Columbia 
2m. I2S. on this- leg. 
The second leg was a beat, and after luffing around 
the mark Reliance and Constitution held the starboard 
tack in toward the Connecticut shore. About 5 minutes 
after rounding they were put on the port tack. This 
tack was held until Reliance could fetch the mark, and 
as soon as she tacked Constitution followed. Colum- 
bia had not done so well by holding the starboard tack, 
and the other two boats had been favored a little. At 
this mark the times were: 
Reliance 1 21 15 Columbia 1 28 35 
Constitution 1 24 34 
Reliance gained 44s. on Constitution and 5m. 9s. on 
Columbia on this leg. 
It was another reach, with the wind abeam, back to 
the starting line. Reliance and Columbia set reaching 
jib topsails, while Constitution kept on under her baby 
for some time, when she took it in and set a reaching 
jib topsail. The breeze, which was working around to 
the south, increased in strength. Reliance caught the 
freshening breeze first, and heeled well down made good 
time and drew away from Constitution still further. At 
the home mark at the end of the first round, the boats 
were timed as follows : 
Reliance 1 48 09 Columbia ...1 56 55 
Constitution 1 52 38 
Reliance had gained im. los. on Constitution and ini. 
26s. on Columbia on this leg. 
The shift in the wind made the first leg of the second 
round a run, and after gybing over booms were eased 
off to port, and spinnakers were set to starboard. Co- 
lumbia's crew handled their sails quicker than did the 
men on the other two boats, and Reliance's men were 
the slowest of the lot. When some distance from the 
mark spinnakers were taken in, and on Reliance and 
Columbia baby jib topsails were set in place of the 
reaching jib topsails. The breeze let up quite a bit on 
this leg, and Constitution had pulled up on Reliance. 
The times at the mark were: 
Reliance 2 16 54 Columbia 2 26 30 
Constitution 2 20 02 
Constitution had gained im. 2s. on Reliance and im, 
52s. on Columbia on this leg. 
The boats again had a beat to the second mark. 
Reliance and Constitution made the mark b\' a short 
leg to port and a long leg to starboard, while Columbia 
did just the opposite, and took a long leg to port and 
greatly benefited by so doing, for she struck a fresher 
and more favorable breeze. 
The boats were timed as follows when rounding the 
second mark: 
Reliance 2 52 07 Columbia 2 58 44 
Constitution 2 56 30 
Columbia had gained 2m. 59s. on Reliance and 3m. 
55s. on Constitution on this leg. 
The boats now had a close reach on' the port tack 
to the finish line. Reliance, under a baby jib topsail, 
made fast time in the freshening breeze. When a short 
distance from the finish line the wind again lightened 
up considerably. The times at the finish were: . 
Constitution 3 21 27 Columbia 3 24 04 
Reliance 3 16 34 
The summary follows: 
Start. Finish. Elapsed. 
Reliance 12 30 22 3 16 34 2 46 12 
Constitution 12 30 58 3 21 27 2 50 29 
Columbia 12 30 21 3 24 04 2 53 43 
Reliance beat Constitution 4m. 17s. and Columbia 7m. 
31s. 
Atlantic Y. C 
SEA GATE, NEW YORK BAY, 
Saturday, June 20. 
The Atlantic Y. C. held races for classes M and un- 
der on the afternoon of Saturdaj', June 20, over the 
shorter courses. The feature of the event was the 
struggle among the 30-footers, in which were entered 
Bagheera and Bobtail, the craft which will represent 
Gravesend Bay in the races for the Manhasset Bay- 
challenge cup, and the Herreshoff boat Vivian II. 
(ex-Onward), recently purchased by Mr. S. E. Vernon. 
Onward arrived off the Atlantic Y. C. anchorage on 
Tuesday last from Bristol, R. I. She carries a double 
head rig, whif^ l^agheerft and ?|oW^i} ^r? provided with 
a single jib. The next day after reaching Sea Gate she 
was renamed Vivian 11. 
Vivian II. signalized her initial appearance by defeat- 
ing Bagheera 43s., after twice covering a triangular 
course of 7^ nautical miles. Bobtail had difficulty with 
her rudder, and was forced to withdraw. The Vernon 
sloop has to give time to Bagheera, and the exact re- 
sult of the race cannot be told until the craft are 
measured. 
It was an exciting race from start to finish. At the 
end of the first round Bagheera led by im. 50s. The 
end of the first round Bagheera led by rm. and 5s. The 
course was from the starting line off Sea Gate to West 
Bank Light, leaving the same on the starboard hand, 
thence to Craven Shoal bell buoj' and home. The first 
two legs were broad reaches. The last one well tested 
the windward ability of the competitors. 
In sloop class P, Vagabond sailed well and finished 
3m. 5s. ahead of Cockatoo, and 5m. 58s. before 
the yawl Kate. By a common agreement among the 
owners, the yawl was to get an allowance of 6m. for 
the six-mile course. This enabled her to win out by 2S. 
ScalaAvag won in class R. Wraith, the only entry in 
class Q, had trouble with her centerboard, and had 
to be towed back to the club anchorage. 
Boats under class M sailed the regular Atlantic Y. C. 
course, with the start off Sea Gate and marks at Fort 
Hamilton and Ulmer Park. It was covered twice. The 
first leg was a broad reach, the second full of windward 
work, and the third a reach to the home mark. 
Rain fell in torrents throughout the race. A good 
breeze from E. S. E. blew steadily from start to finish 
and more than made up for the wet conditions. 
The summaries follow: 
Sloops— Class M— Start, 3:10.

Brooklyn Y. C. 
Y. R. A. OF GRAVESEND BAY, 
Saturday, June 20. 
The second regatta of the Y. R. A. of Gravesend 
Bay was held on the afternoon of Saturday, June 20, 
under the auspices of the Brooklyn Y. C. The heavy 
rain that fell during the greater part of the contest kept 
the number of starters down to fifteen, all but three 
of which finished. 
The wind held steady E. S. E. throughout the race. 
Boats sailing the inside courses had a broad reach 
from the start off the Brooklyn Y. C. to the stake boat, 
off Sea Gate. Another broad reach took them to the 
Fort Hamilton mark and several windward boards 
brought them home again. The course was covered 
twice. 
Bonito and Kangaroo were the only craft going over 
the outside courses to finish the race. These boats 
had a reach out to Coney Island Point, some windward 
work to Red Can Buoy No. 2, a reach to Craven Shoal 
buoy and a close-hauled leg home. 
In class P, Ogeeniah had Karma for a competitor. 
The latter withdrew after the first round. Spots re- 
versed the usual order of things and defeated Trouble. 
Class V, for open catboats, was very interesting, Boozie 
winning out after a close struggle. Kelpie and Esper- 
ance fought for honors in the Marine and Field one- 
design class. At the end of the first round the eventual 
winners led their respective classes. 
Six members of the Atlantic Y. C, which withdrew 
from the Association early this year, have applied for 
membership in clubs now affiliated with the organiza- 
tion. This action will bring together all the best rac- 
ing talent on Gravesend Bay and insure the best of 
competition. 
An interesting working of the different measurement 
rules now in force is illustrated in comparing the 
sloops Ogeemah and Trouble. The former was de- 
signed by Mr. John R. Brophy this j^ear under the re- 
strictions in vogue on Long Island Sound. It also 
conforms well to the rule of the New York Y. C. 
Under both regulations Ogeemah would sail in class 
Q and Trouble (a class Q boat) would have to give it 
time allowance. 
In the racing on Gravesend Baj--, under the old rule 
(half the square root of the sail area plus the load 
waterline length), Ogeemah is obliged to go to the 
limit of class P, while Trouble competes with class Q 
craft.
