i Friday, July 4. 
The second special open race of the Eastern Y. C, for 
the restricted classes of the Yacht Racing Association 
of Massachusetts, was sailed off Marblehead, Friday, 
July 4, in a very light, fluky air. The breeze varied from 
southeast by south to northwest. Seeboomook won in 
the 25-footers, Rooster II. in the 21-footers and Savage 
in the i8ft. knockabouts. At the start the breeze was 
southeast by south, and as it was extremely light, all 
classes were sent over the short course, three miles to 
windward and return. 
In the 25-footers Calypso went over the starting line in 
the weather berth, with Seeboomook under her lee. Then 
came Qiewink and Sally VI., with Chewink in the wind- 
ward position. All went to the starboard tack after 
crossing the line, and Sally VI., which was to leeward, 
tacked across the sterns of the other three and took 
a position at the weather side. She made by this and led 
the bunch to the weather mark. All three keel boats 
turned the mark close together, while Calypso, she of 
the centerboard, could not find wind enough to make her 
move. After turning the weather mark the breeze flat- 
tened out and the three keel boats came together, about 
drifting toward the finish line. As they came inshore they 
met a northwest breeze. Spinnakers had to be aban- 
doned and a few tacks were necessary to make the Hnev 
Seeboomook laid a beautiful course and finished first, with 
Chewink II. second. Sally VI. overstood the line in 
looking for wind and was some distance behind. Calypso 
could riot do anything in the light air. 
In the 21-footers Porcupine got the best of the start, 
ibut Rooster II. poked out ahead on the windwatd leg 
.■and turned the mark in the lead. She held her 
lead to the finish. The i8-footers went over the starting 
line in a bunch, and then they split tacks. In the light 
•air thej'^ traveled about even, and, when they had turned 
•the windward mark, they all became bunched again in the 
■calm. With the shift of wind Savage pulled out and 
iinished in the lead. The summary:

Another fluky race was the special open for the Y. R. 
A. restricted classes, given by the Eastern Y. C, on Sat- 
urday, July 5. The breeze was south southwest at the 
start, but on the second leg it shifted to southeast. It 
was very light throughout. In the 25-footers Seeboo- 
mook was first over the starting line, and she led all the 
way to the finish. She has proven superior now in both 
light and strong breezes. In the 21-footers Porcupine 
got the best of the start and led to the first mark, but 
on the reach and the run Little Haste went out ahead and 
finished first, with Porcupine second. In the i8-footers 
Savage had the best of the start, but on the windward leg 
Ayaya, Biza and Malillian worked out ahead. On the last 
two 'legs Malillian came to the front and won, with Biza 
second. The summary :

Friday, July 4. 
The open sweepstakes regatta of the Beverly Y, C. 
was sailed off Wing's Neck on Friday, July 4, iri lluky 
winds. The Buzzard's Bay one-design JO-footefs found 
the wind very light until they had nearly reached the 
turning buoy, and they kept clo.se together. After turn- 
ing the buoy they took a stiff southwest breeze and 
commenced to spread out. Pi-axilla went out to the 
front and led to the finish line. A close face Was sailed 
between Totem and Alison in the fourth Class cats. 
Totem winning by 5 seconds. In the 21-footers Terrapin 
won handily, and Spider had an easy win ill the ig-foot-

English Letter, 
The dangerous illness of the King has put an end for 
the present to the great naval review at Spithead. Every- 
thing was so far advanced that it was possible to form 
a fair idea of what the scene would have been like, and 
though the show of warships would hardly have been so 
imposing as in 1897, the number of yachts would cer- 
tainly have been greater. Even a week before the day 
fixed for the review the fleet of yachts anchored in Sou- 
thampton water was larger than any I have yet seen 
there. The anticipated review has had the effect of spoil- 
ing the German Emperor's cup race. Only seven yachts 
entered, and of these, but three started — Cicely (the new 
Fife schooner), Vol-au-Vent and Leander. Leander is 
smart yawl of 98 tons, designed by Payne last year, and 
owned by the Hon. Rupert Guiness, and Vol-au-Vent is 
an old vessel of 104 tons, built by Ratsey, of Cowes, so 
far back as 1875. Cicely was put scratch and had to al- 
low Leander hours and Vol-au-Vent 5?/ hours^ They 
started last Saturday in a smart westerly breeze and fin- 
i.shed at Heligoland on Monday evening, Vol-au-Vent 
saving her time from Cicely by over S hours. Leander 
also saved her time. Details of the race are not known 
yet, but the result shows how very difficult it is to handi- 
cap vessels that have to sail on a compass course. 
Cicely is the prettiest schooner I have ever seen, but 
from what I hear Mr. W. Jameson's new auxiliary 
schooner will be even smarter, though smaller. She was 
launched last week at Fairlie, and is bound to create a 
sensation. In size she is called a 40-tonner (a meaning- 
less phrase nowadays), and is of much the same size 
as the racing 52-footers. Her motor engine is placed 
well forward in the boat, and the exhaust is led into the 
foremast, which is a hollow steel spar cased with wood. 
The engine is said to be of 75 horse-power and is a 
"Napier." This ought to develop very great speed in 
so well-designed a boat. The most startling feature (in 
so large a yacht) is that her sails are scarlet, the vessel 
being named Scarlet Rambler. Her draft is light, in 
or4er that she may be able to enter shallow harbors on 
the Irish coast. Altogether, this yacht is a notable de- 
parture for our waters, as her headroorn is obtained by a 
low booby hatch — a very Unusual thing in eruiSinf yaentS 
of this size over here, ttow&ver, the objfect ife plaitlly to 
produce a bonafidfe aU3ciliary yacht — not fnerely a sailing 
yacht with a little motor in it for oily ia\m weathef, 
Scarlet Rarnbler Will be able to fnake passages that Will 
Compare Well with steam yachtg of twiCe nef tohhagfe 
and keep the sea When thgy have tb scuttle into the near- 
est shelter. She Will carry petrol in her tanks for 108 
hours' continuous poWer driving. From the tirrie this 
yacht's keel Was laid until she was finished, only 
month elapsed. Some delay qccttrred in deliVeriiig part^ 
of the motor equipment, but the builder*s Work was over 
in that tiilie. t don't think yoU can shoW a better record 
than that even ifl ybur "greased lightning" land! 
The already attenuated 52tt. clasS has teittpbrarily 
broken down. Cattiellia, the Paylle boat, did n6t start in 
the Nore lb DbVer Match, owing, it was said, to her 
topSide§ haviftg bpeued. She ig at her builders for soni.g 
".stnall alterations," but as these ihclude new garboards, it 
inay possibly be a case of allerih* the.d meaSurerrient .bf 
the yacht. Any way,, the garboard! strakes do.Hot Usually 
forhi part of a vessel's topsides. Secrfecy in all such mat- 
ters is . iVbwaday§ consideired absolutely essential. Ca- 
Iheilia fails on the wind a little, but is a very fast boat 
with sheets checked. Any improvement, even if slight, 
should enable her to stop the triumphal march of Lucida 
occasionally. 
In the Solent class racing — confined to yachts of 36ft. 
and under — the best boats in the various classes so far 
are Nyama (Fife 36- footer), Sorais II. (Fife 30-footer), 
Duet (Payne 24-footer). The proportion of sail to length 
in the various classes is altogether uneven, and the new 
rule \yi!l not work outfits Ultifflate develqpffleiit , for a 
Considerable tirkle yet. The entries are few in all dasse§. 
but next Winter should see a splirt in building, The 
tendency of the rule is apparently ilbt to curtail beattt 
unduly lent to approximate draft— so half the beaih, at 
the station measured (.6 of L.W.L. aft of stein). Thi§ 
is the minimum amouftt of draft allowed there, but it 
is not otherwise measured, so that the custom is to make 
the profile triangular and thus get a lot of Useful Un- 
taxed draft at the stern-pbst. This result was fore- 
seeii, but neglected when the rule waS passed. It appears 
likely that this will be the prevailing type, but 1 think 
it is certain that a rather narrow craft in the classes of 
30ft. and upward Would will many prices. The time has 
not come yet to try the experiment. It Will arrive wheil 
four or five boats of the other type are making dose 
races in any one claSa. 
Last Thursday MisS Cust, the oWner of the 36-fobter 
CtickbO It., died suddenly; She was One of the best- 
known yacht Women on the Solent, and her dea;h Cre- 
ated much regret. Cuckoo II. is a Sibbick boat, and 
fairly fast in light weather, but of too large a d mea.surt'- 
ment. 
- The official measurement of Mr. Cecil Quentin's 
schooner Cicely is 95.67 rating, and with the deduction 
made for her "inferiority of rig" she will sail as of 81.3 
rating. She would have a very fa'r chance with Sybarita 
and Kariad in open racing if the course gave a large 
proportion of reaching. Our rule treats schooners rather 
unfairly in the matter of spinnakers, for the area of sail 
between the masts is of no use when dead before the 
wind, and no allowance is made for this m the size of the 
spinnaker. It would surely be fair to allow the whole 
area forward of the mainmast to be put into the spin- 
naker provided that this sail be always set on the main- 
mast. 
Another American motor firm has established an 
agency over her, Messrs. Westmacott, Stewart & Co., 
of St. Helens, Isle of Wight, having taken a agency 
for the "Standard" motor. The name is a good one 
over here, and this firm are high-class builders, having 
a most complete yard. 
Mr. M. B, Kennedy has promised to race Sybarita at 
the Clyde regattas, so that Kariad will have some racing 
at home after all,
