reefed. The coUtses were dot efed. in directly opposite 
way from that of the first day. This gave the boats a 
reach to the first mark, some httle windward Wofk on the 
Second and a reach home. 
Twenty-two craft went over the hne for the start. The 
i^o-footer, Mineola, and the schooner Muriel, covered 
the longer " course of miles, and were credited with 
sail overs. Challenge, a new class L boat, started but 
did not finish. She belongs to Wallace T. Foote, Jr., of 
Port Henry, N. Y., and is 57ft. 6 in. over all and about 
36ft. on the water line. 
In the class for 30-footers, Mimosa reversed the de- 
cision of the Thursday and won out by im. and 27s. 
This advantage was gained on a run -when both carried 
spinnakers, just before the finish. 
Whistlewing, H. M, Crane's new one, was victorious 
in the raceabout class, just beating out Mavis, formerly 
Merry Wing, which led durmg the first round of the 
654-mile triangular course. The American Y. C.'s 21- 
footer, Howdy, deprived of a competitor by the acci-. 
dent to Hobo on Thursday, entered this class. 
Four Seawanhaka knockabouts started, the honors go- 
ing to W. A. Stewart's Bobs, which led from start to 
finish. Chipmunk sailed the wrong course in the race 
for class R boats, and the contest went to Cricket. 
Arizona, with her gaff repaired from the damage of 
Thursday, suffered defeat in the class for Manhasset 
Bay raceabouts — Lambkin winning. Three of the New 
Rochelle one-design class started. Knave scoring her 
second consecutive victory of the series. 
Fidget, an i8-footer belonging to Edwin Gould, of the 
American Y. _C., and Houri, J. H. Essers 21-footer, 
scored sail overs. The summaries follow:

_The winners were the Mimosa, Whistlewing, Bobs,

"Forty craft started in the race of Saturday. It was the 
occasion of the thirty-second annual Corinthian contest 
and proved to be the best regatta held on Long Island 
Sound this year. The Leland Challenge Cup going to 
the first club knockabout finishing and a series prize 
for the boat of the same type scoring the greatest number 
of points in the three days' racing, was won by F. G. 
Stewart's Gowan. 
A brilliant array of stellar racing lights competed. The 
winners in the different classes were: Vigilant, Elmina, 
Mineola, Dorwina, Empress, Mimosa, Adelaide, Jolly 
Roger, Gowan. Cricket, Lambkin, Knave and Esper- 
anza. Neola, Gazabo and Syce scored sailovers. 
Interest centered in the race between the goft. yawls. 
Vigilant and Ailsa. Both were fresh from the drydock, 
and it was rumored that some changes had been made 
on Ailsa which would be beneficial. The breeze was west 
by south and light. These conditions suited Vigilant 
and she gradually drew away from the imported craft, 
and won out by iim. and 34s. It was a run to the first 
mark, a beat to the second and a reach home. 
Mineola and Yankee met in the class for 70ft. sloops. 
Although the Belmont boat was again victorious by im. 
and los., it looked at times as if Barr would have to doff 
his cap to J. Rogers Maxwell, who held the tiller of 
Yankee. The latter boat crossed the starting line nearly 
half a minute later than did Mineola. 
In the contest 'for class p schooners, Elmina beat 
Muriel by 6m. and 59s. 
Dorwina beat out Effort and Challenge in class L. 
Effort was late in starting, crossing the line 13 minutes 
after the winner. 
In the race for class N sloops, Mimosa scored over 
Alerion by 8m. and 23s., giving her two races out of 
the three sailed during the Seawanhaka series. 
In the raceabout class the Crowninshield boat, Jolly 
Roger, defeated IT. M. Crane's new Whistlewing by im. 
and I2S, Mavis finished third 7 seconds later. The 
struggle between Esperanza and Hera, Newport 30- 
footers, resulted in a victory for the former by Sm. and 
45s. The courses sailed in the race were the same as 
used on the first two days of the series. 
The new 6o-rater, Neola, belonging to George M. 
Pynchon, went over the course on a time trial. She did 
the larger triangles in urn. and 38. slower time than 
Vigilant and iim. and /S. slower than Mineola. She is 
a thoroughbred-looking craft with large sail spread. 
The Manhasset Bay raceabout, Lambkin, scored her 
third victory of the series as did Knave, the New Ro- 
chelle i8-footer. The summaries follow:

Yacht Racingf Union of the Gteat Lakes, 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Your report of the action of the Yacht Racing Union 
of the Great Lakes in the number of June 28 shows that 
at last we are likely to see something reasonable accom- 
plished in the matter of yachting classification. For the 
first time an influential body of yachtsmen have placed 
themselves on record as in favor of restrictions instead of 
n formula for yachting classification. This is particularly 
gra.tifying to me because the general trend of these re- 
strictions is in line with the suggestions made by me 
about five years ago for the first time, and constantly 
reiterated since then. I would like to, however, suggest 
that one fundamental error has been committed, namely, 
the use of the erect instead of the inclined load waterlinc. 
With yachts of various types the erect waterline is an in- 
accurate means of comparison, as every one knows. As 
I had the privilege of pointing out in your columns some 
time since the requirement of minimum area of immersed 
cross section is not the same as a displacement require- 
ment, this relation of area of midship section to displace- 
ment varying with different types at least 15 per cent. 
As a consequence, all of the requirements of the Union 
can be complied with and a small-displacement racing' 
machine be designed. If, on the contrary, the Schedule A 
had displacement substituted for immersed cross section 
and a column substituted, giving the limiting length of 
inclined waterline as I have already suggested, the four 
cohtmns devoted to beam and freeboard could have been 
omitted and the Union would have been absolutely as- 
sured of boats of good accommodation, which it would 
be cheapest and best to build strongly, and all of the 
requirements in regard to cabin trunk, freeboard and 
scantlings could have been omitted as entirely unneces- 
sary. Nevertheless the principle of the change is a most 
commendable one, and I have no doubt that in the course 
of a few years it will be found that all my suggestions are 
practical and they will be carried into effect when a new 
era of yacht racing in seaworthy, fast yachts will begin.

The Dorchester Y. C. Y. R. A. open race for Asso- 
ciation 15-footers and i8-footers, one-design dories and 
sailing tenders, was sailed in Dorchester Bay on Tuesday, 
June 17, in a strong northwest wind. The strong breeze 
affected several of the little fellows to such an extent as 
to put them out of it. No 15-footers showed up. Wa- 
wenock had an easy win in the i8-footers. Anita won a 
good race in the one-design dories. The Leach and 
Hewes S. H. Y. C, tenders sailed a close race, and E. E.

Seawanhaka Trial Races. 
LONG ISLAND SOUND— BRIDGEPORT, CONN. 
Monday, June 30. 
The first of the series of trial races to select a chal- 
lenger for the Seawanhaka Challenge cup, now held by 
the Royal St. Lawrence Y, C, was sailed on Monday, 
June 30. Eight boats started, as follows; Massasoit, 
Bridgeport Y. C; Tecumseh, Bridgeport Y. C. ; Nutmeg, 
Bridgeport Y. C. ; Seeress, Manhasset Bay Y. C. ; Fron- 
tenac, Penataquit Corinthian Y. C. ; Crusader, White 
Bear Y. C. ; Monsoon, Manchetser Y. C; Filibuster, 
Eastern Y. C. Wampnissic, Shinnecock Y. C, was with- 
drawn. The wind was light throughout the race, varying 
from S.E. to S. The course was a triangular one of four 
miles, starting from the spar buoy off Black Rock Light- 
house, and was sailed over three times. The boats were 
stopped at the finish of each four miles, and their times 
taken, thus making the trials practically three races of 
four miles each. Of these, Massasoit, the Crowninshield 
boat, won two, and Tecumseh, the Western boat, finished 
first in one. 
The starting gun was fired at i :30, and the first leg was 
a beat, the wind blowing S.E. by E. very lightly. Nut- 
meg crossed the line first, followed in order by Monsoon,. 
Seeress, Filibuster, Crusader, Frontenac, Tecumseh and 
Massasoit. Tecumseh took the lead in the first mile and 
rounded the first mark nearly three minutes ahead of 
Nutmeg, the second boat. Monsoon was third, followed 
by Massasoit, Filibuster, Crusader, Frontenac and Seeress 
in the order named. Spinnakers were set for the reach 
to the^ second mark. Tecumseh increased her lead to 
five minutes over the second boat on this leg. Nutmeg 
was still second, with Monsoon, Massasoit, Filibuster, 
Frontenac, Crusader and Seeress following. On the run 
home Nutmeg gained on Tecumseh, but not enough to 
win, and Tecumseh crossed the line winner by 3m. 
and 40s.

The boats were sent off over the same course at 3:05. 
The wind had freshened somewhat, but was still light. 
They crossed the line in the following order : Filibuster, 
Crusader, Seeress, Nutmeg, Massasoit, Monsoon, Tecum- 
seh and Frontenac. Massasoit liked the weather and 
drew ahead at once, rounding the first mark at 3h. 28m. 
33s. Crusader, the second boat, was 2m. 30s. behind, and 
Filibuster, the last boat, 7m. 27s. behind the leader. 
Massasoit retained her lead on the reach to the second 
mark, and on the run home and won by 2m. 23s. over 
Crusader ;

In the third race the course was reversed, making the 
first leg a beat to windward. The breeze was improving, 
but was only fair. There was some confusion at the 
starting line, and Monsoon finally crossed first at 4:20. 
Massasoit was second, and was followed by Frontenac, 
Crusader, Filibuster, Nutmeg, Seeress and Tecumseh. 
Massasoit at once took the lead, and at the first mark ' 
was im. 20s. ahead of Crusader, the next to round the 
mark. The positions remained unchanged on the reaches 
to the second mark and to the finish, and Massasoit 
crossed the line 32s. ahead of Crusader, in the best-sailed
