the latter beat her Fife-built rival by 36m. and 17s. cor- 
rected time. Throughout the contest luck faroted Vig:i 
lant and Avas against Ailsa. 
In the schooner class, Amorita, ttow oWtied by M. 
McKec. of Pittsburg, Pa., made her first appearance of 
the year. From a good start nearly a minute ahead of 
Elmina and Muriel, she was left almost hull down before 
the race was over. In 7m. from start Elmina had luffed 
by her to windward and at no time thereafter was 
Amorita a contender. 
Muriel did no luffing, but kept straight on her course., 
and was a minute ahead of Elmina aromid the first mark. 
Elmina forged to the front on the next two legs, and was 
5m. in the lead at the home mark, ending the first round. 
On the next tour of the course the sister schooners 
sailed a fine contest. Muriel picked up well and was 
beaten by only im. and 31s. There were no allowances 
except in the yawl class. 
The 70-footer Yankee and Mineola had it nipt and 
tnck all day. They crossed the starting line exactly 
abreast, though Barr had worked the Belmont boat into 
windward position. Mineola led around the first mark 
by S5S. 
Over on the Connecticut shore, Yankee stood in further, 
got the first of the breeze and ' rounded the home mark 
leading by im. and 25s. Mineola again slipped by on 
the spinnaker run to the first mark, and rounded this buoy 
28s. ahead. Gradualh' increasing the advantage, she won 
out by 3m. and 32s. 
In class I, for imported sloops, Hester led Eelin by 9m. 
and 58s., and Isolde by lom. and 5Ss, The latter two, it 
is said, had a match race on, and therefore paid but little 
attention to Hester. 
In class J the Herreshoff flyer, Humma, gave Syce n 
bad beating, winning out by 8m. and 54s. Syce had 
trouble with her gaff topsail during the early stages of 
the contest. 
In class L Dorwina handily defeated Effort by 8m. and' 
29s.. 
The new 6o-raters, Weetamoe, George M. Pynchon, and 
Nedla, Henry F. Lippitt, were entered in the Glen Cove 
cup races in hopes of being ready for the struggle. They 
were not in trim to start. The summaries follow :

Yacht Racing Association of 
Gravesend Bay» 
Saturday, June 28. 
The third regatta of the Yacht Racing Association of 
Gravesend Bay, held on June 28, under the auspices of 
the New York C. C, was by far the best of the season. 
Twenty-five craft started; two were disqualified, and one 
withdrew. The winners in the different classes were 
Sunol, Caribou, Cockatoo, Wraith, Stinger and Martha 
M. Vivian scored a sail over. 
The preparatory signal was sounded at 3 o'clock, and 
the different classes were sent away at three-minute in- 
tervals. The wind, at the start, was blowing a little east 
of south, but gradually worked into the southwest ere the 
race was ended. The craft were sent over the course in 
an opposite direction from usual, leaving all marks on 
the port hand. 
Class M and N boats went out to West Bank Light and 
return, covering the course twice. They had but little 
windward work to do, close and broad reaches being in 
order. 
The wind afforded the smaller boats, which sail the 
inside courses, a good run to the first mark of the Marine 
and Field Club, a reach to Fort Hamilton buoy, long and 
short windward legs to the Atlantic Y. C. mark, and a 
broad reach home. 
Among the larger boats going out to West Bank Light 
the class N craft Gwendolin did well. She started the 
contest, however, on the wrong side of the line and was 
eventually disqualified. Sunol and Bonito came down for 
the home mark at the end of the first round almost as one 
lioat. turning the buoy exactly abreast. 
During the latter part of the second tour the wind 
veered into the southwest. At this time many of the 
smaller craft had stood over toward the southerly side of 
the bay in hopes of a long, close-hauled board to Atlantic 
Y. C. mark. Others had kept out more. As is often the 
case, the boats catching the first of the new breeze were 
put so much nearer the tnark. 
Class P craft sailed a grand race throughout. At the 
finish, with spinnakers set and everything drawing, they 
came down for the line separated only by seconds. Cock- 
atoo slipped in ahead by Ss. Song and Dance was next 
leading Karma by 15s. 
Wraith got a good start in class Q and was never 
headed. She was the first of the fleet to finish the race 
and beat out Trouble, her nearest class competitor, by 
2m. 47s. 
By a lucky shift in the breeze, the Marine and Field 
boat Stinger passed Kelpie on the second round and won 
out ty 20S. Stinger scored a leg on a cup offered by 
President Theodore L. Cuyler, of the organization, from 
which the little fellows hail, to the winner of the hest

Among the larger craft, Sunol, well handled, headed 
Bonito by 2m. and 17s. Vivian and GwendoHn made a 
fine finish, the latter crossing the line by 2s. ahead. 
Class N boat Caribou luffed by Squaw jttst off Sea 
Gate, on the last round, and won out by 40s. Indian, a 
newcomer in class N, started late. Bronco sailed the 
race without her centerboard.

OYSTER BAY, L. T. 
June 26, 27, 28. 
The three days of racing at the Seawanhaka-Corintli- 
ian Y. C. began on Thursday, June 26. The event was . 
marked by a strong wind blowing from the northwest 
which made reefs advisable and cansed. a number ot ac- 
cidents. Hobo, an American Y. C. 21-footer. belonging 
to Trenor L. Park, at the begining of the second round 
of the race, carried away her mast about two-thrids 
distance from the deck and had to be towed in. She 
was then leading her opponent. Howdy, Sttiyycsant 
Wainwright, owner, by nearly half a minute. 
In the class for Manhasset raceabout, Arizona, cham- 
pion of the Yacht Association of Long Island Sountd 
for 1901, belonging to G. A. Corry, broke her gaft", and, 
the race went to Lambkin, owned by S. V. Roach. 
Nearly all of the star yachts were entered for the con- 
test, but few of them came to the line. Vigilant and" 
Ailsa were tmdergoing repairs at City Island, and the 
schooner Elmina had gone to New London. Barr sailed: 
the Mineola to a walk-over, and did the 23)^ miles in 
the fast time of 2h. iim. and 35s. She went twice 
around a triangle of 11^ miles, starting from a line neai- 
Center Island buoy. 
Twelve craft in all started the contest. Alerion and 
jMimosa tried for honors in the class for 3a-footers, and 
the former was victorious. Mimosa had a good lead at 
the end of the first round, but was eventually beaten out 
at the finish by 28 seconds. 
Gowan, Marcia and Heron competed in the race for 
Seawanhaka knockabouts. Marcia led on the first round 
but Gowan passed her and won out. 
Two of the New Rochelle one-design class started. 
Knave,, belonging to W. N. Bavier, gave Deuce, the 
property of L. D. Himtington, Jr., a bad beating. 
The 30-footers covered a course aggregating i6]4 
miles. The 2i-footers and knockabouts had a 133/2 course 
to travel, while the smaller classes were allotted a di,s- 
tance of 8^4 miles. The summaries follow:
