S6 
hind. The course was tfiailgulaf, about the four-mile 
crib, two miles to the leg, and twice around. The wind 
was fresh and a bit puffj'. Of the five starters, Spray 
v.'as first off at 1:35:10, La Rita and Sprite next, then 
Privateer and Arab IV.. which got a bad start and fell 
back of the judges' boat. Sprite hung to La Rita pretty- 
well on the first round, but the latter boat began to edge 
away at the first leg of the second round, and had estab- 
lished a lead of nearl}' im. at the time Sprite broke down. 
Arab IV. made a grand stand finish, coming strong out of 
nowhere at the close of the last round. The times of 
the boats were as follows : 
Start. Finish. Per Cent. 
La Rita, G. R. Peare 1 35 15 3 55 21 lOQ 
Arab IV., J. H. Cameron 4 13 05 SO 
Spray, T. B. Keogh 1 35 10 4 13 35 60 
Privateer, O. Daniels 1 35 31 4 16 20 40 
Sprite, Dr. Pinckard 135 17 
The judges were A. T. Bliss, Geo. A. Martin, C. E. 
Kremer, and E. C. Berriman. The Columbia Y. C. people 
turned out en masse and the guest boats were crowded, a 
great popular interest attending the series for the cup 
offered by the well-known and well-liked Sir Thomas Lip- 
ton. The latter sent a cablegram of good wishes, which 
was received just before the start in the regatta yester- 
day afternoon. 
It was a Columbia Club affair, Colleen and Spirte, the 
Chicago Y. C. entries, both being disabled, Colleen not 
starting in the Lipton cup race, and the matter was left 
entirely to the Columbia boys. The Milwaukee Y. C. 
entries were received too late to qualify. The matter thus 
simmered down to a smaller entry and a tamer fight than 
was desirable for an event of this consequence. All the 
clubs of the Great Lakes ought to have boats in this 
series. 
The races will be run on the per cent, system of scor- 
ing, the percentage standing at this date, La Rita, lOo; 
Arab IV., So; Spray, 60; Privateer, 40; this being in 
accordance with the Columbia Club percentage tables. At 
the close of 3^esterday's race La Rita was the favorite 
on the series, though what Sprite may do with mended 
steering gear remains to be seen this afternoon, when 
the second race of the series of three will be sailed. 
The Lipton Cop. 
The Lipton cup for 21-footers, Massachusetts cabin 
class, is a beautiful trophy. In height it is 39in., its form 
that of a vase, two graceful figures serving as handles, and 
showing two scrolls, one bearing the word "Victory," 
the other "Good Will." The American eagle appro- 
priately dominates the trophy. 
The panels of the cup show surfaces decorated by 
wreaths, lilies, yachts, etc., one panel presenting the shield 
of the United States enameled in red, white and blue, sur- 
rounded by a laurel wreath. The pedestal is of ebonized 
wood, paneled and appropriately inscribed to Columbia 
Y. C, Chicago, as well as bearing the name, "Sir Thomas 
J. Lipton Competitive Cup, Instituted 1902." 
It need hardly be said that the gift of this cup from 
Sir Thomas was gratefully appreciated by the members 
of Columbia Y. C. The trophy was formally received by 
the members in a meeting at the club house June 21, 
where appropriate speeches and resolutions were enter- 
tained. The races of to-day and next day will be closely 
watched by all the Chicago sailing contingent. 
The Pfistef Cop. 
The Pfister cup was presented to the Milwaukee Y. C. 
3 year ago, open to competition for yachts built under the 
L, M, Y, R. A. rules, 21ft. knockabouts. The first race 
was held a vear ago yesterday in Milwaukee, and was won 
by Colleen,' of Chicago. The latter boat made it two out 
of three to-dav, and if she shall last in her present form 
another year, will win the cup apparently without diffi- 
culty. Colleen is owned by Dr. W. L. Baum, of Chicago, 
and her victory to-day was, under the circumstances, a 
plucky one, as she came in with a split mast, result of a 
sudden puff of Lake Michigan's strong air, which caught 
the boat at the second buoy. 
Colleen was away w^ell in advance at the start, the Mil- 
v/aukee boats Vagabond and Badger following m the 
order named. The first leg was sailed reachiiag, and Col- 
leen liked the going very much, bettering her lead to the 
first turn and thereafter holding the race safe. The judges 
in the race were H. S. Griswold, Messrs. Whitney, Noble 
and Belden. of Chicago Y. C. ; H. Y. Brown and W. U. 
Kirby of Milwaukee Y. C. The actual times m the 
Pfister cup race were: Colleen, 1:45:18; Vagabond, 
i:46:o9- Badger. 1:49:20. r , ■ .t, -r 
The harbor was packed with craft during the sailing 
pf this race, the big guest boat, Hackley, being crowded. 
Milwaukee Y. C. sent down about fifty representatives,, 
among these Com. E- P. Vilas, C. A. Vilas F. C. H. 
StrficHfin, J. M- Handley. Fred Cook, John R^Ge, A. K. 
Taylor, A.- Mather, J. Johnston, W. N- Kirby, Ed. Saiiger 
and P R. "Krueger. Ten boats came down from Mil- 
waukee a handsome fleet, which return to-day, Saturday, 
accompanied bv the fleet of the Chicago Y. C which 
starts to-day on its cruise up the coast to Kenoshft. 
Minor Races. 
It was expected that Vencedcr and Siren would have 
another of their famous fights yesterday, but Vencedor s 
injurv put her out of it. In the schooner raee, Alice heat 
Hawthorne." The Milwaukee boat, Illinois, took the rne^^s-

The foregoing races were sailed over the Chicago Y. C, 
regular course, the start being made &t the Van Buren 
Columbia Y. C. had out between forty and fifty craft 
of all description and classifications m the general re- 
gatta yesterday afternoon. 
Tecomseh of Oshkosh. 
So at last a Western boat really has gone down for 
FOREST AMD STREAM. 
tluLIf t2, 
the trial races for the Seawanhaka cup ! It was not a 
Chicago boat, for Chicago, after all, is not the hottest 
sporting town on earth when it comes to getting out and 
doing business at the other fellow's four corners. Tecum- 
seh comes from Oshkosh, from Oshkosh on Winnebago 
Lake, which latter body of water is a good deal hotter 
and sportier than Lake Michigan, mile for mile. It 
hardly need be said that the selection of Tecumseh as the 
challenger for the cup, after its decisive winning at 
Bridgeport, leaves the Oshkosh soul in a state of exuber- 
ance which only hoops of the strongest sort can be ex- 
pected to restrain. One hazards it as a safe wager that 
things were doing at Oshkosh yesterday, as well as here in 
Chicago. 
Kenosha Crofse. 
Later. — In the Kenosha cruise of the Chicago Y. C. 
to-day the following boats first started for the Milwaukee 
and Chicago fleets: Illinois, Siren, Hawthorne and Alice, 
followed twenty minutes later by Mowaja. 
Second Lipton Cop Postponed. 
The start in the second race for the Lipton cup this 
afternoon was postponed from i :30 to 2 :30, in order that 
Colleen and Sprite might be fitted better for the race. 
The weather is clear, with a heavy and puffy wind. 
The course is three miles to leeward and return, repeated, 
the start to be made from the V an Buren street gap. The 
leeward course runs to northeast to-day, the wind from 
the southwest, fifteen miles 'an hour. Colleen at the start 
is liked, though it is doubted whether her stick will serve 
under such weather. 
Colleen finds the wind too stiff' for her patched stick, 
and returns a few minutes before the starting gun. At 
2.40 all the boats go over the line on the starboard tack. 
La Rita first, Privateer second, Arab IV. third, Sprite 
fourth, Spray last. 
Arab IV. is called back by the judges to cross the 
line properly. Sprite and Privateer draw up on La Rita, 
which breaks out spinnaker. At 2:50 Sprite breaks out 
balloon jib and appears in the lead. Arab IV. begins to 
show strongly. 
Later. — The race is declared off, injury to the ma- 
chinery of the judges' boat is reported to make it im- 
possible to judge the race. It is decided to resail the 
race, and the start is set for 4:10. It is stated that only 
La Rita and Arab IV. will start. 
July 6. — Only La Rita and Arab IV. started in the 4 :30 
start, after the breakdown of the judges' boat in the first 
attempt at the second race, Saturday afternoon. Sprite 
had fear of a second accident, and Privateer was forced to 
pull out of the race, joining Colleen in the hospital. Arab 
IV. was away first, passed by La Rita shortly, and a brief 
jockeying match was ended by the Peare boat forging 
ahead. The revenue cutter Morrill acted as judges' boat, 
and La Rita was first to turn the buoy; it dropped Arab 
IV. only 6s. behind. Beating home, Arab IV. boldly 
shook out a reef. La Rita holding on double reefed in a 
stiff wind. As the boats began to split tacks at 5:08:15, 
La Rita gradually drew away, and although Arab IV. held 
up well, it could not point and foot with the mahogany 
boat, and the latter won handily, finishing at 7:00:00; 
Arab IV., 7:10:00. 
Columbia Y. C. last night entertained the visitor, Com. 
Bliss. The third race of the series will be sailed Mon- 
day. It is hoped there may be more starters. It is a bit 
hollow thus far, 
Later, — La Rita won third Lipton cup race to-day by 
3m. 25s. Sprite only other starter.

Larchmont Y. C. 
LARCH MONT, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Friday, July 4. 
The twenty-third annual regatta of the Larchmont 
Y. C. was held on Friday, July 4. For a time it looked 
as though the race would have to be abandoned for lack 
of wind but at 2:45 o'clock, nearly four hours late, the 
warning gun was heard, a little breeze having sprung up. 
The 70-footers were sent away at 3:05. Rainbow was 
on hand for the first time this season. In addition to 
the owner, there was on board Mr. E. A. WiUard and 
Capt. Hank Haff. It was a quartering free run to the 
fir.st mark, and balloon jibs were carried. Mineola was 
first over the line in the best position. Rainbow was 
astern and to leeward, with Yankee just a little further 
behind. Yankee and Rainbow got into a luffing match on 
the first leg, and after getting well under the Long Island 
shore they set spinnakers and ran down to the first 
mark. The second leg was the windward one and all 
the boats held well under the shore getting the benefit of 
the wind and tide. From the second mark across to the 
finish line it was a broad reach, and in the freshening 
breeze the boats made good time. 
The schooners sailed over the same course as did the 
70-footers. E'lmina f ot the best of the start, and after a 
hard race won by itn. 12s. Elmina also won the Colt 
cup for schooners, as the trustees have changed the con- 
ditions governing this trophy, so that it is now raced 
for in class D instead of class B. : ^ 
The schooners Katrina and Gevalia raced in cruising 
trim. The former boat allowed the latter fifteen minutes 
time' over the course, but Katrina won out with minutes 
to spare. 
The interest of the day was centered m the two new 
bronze 60ft. cutters designed by Messrs, Gardner & 
Cox. The boats are remarkably well-turned craft. Their 
low topsides and bronze bottom gives them a very rakish 
appearance. On board Neola was Messrs. George M. 
Pynchon, the owner; Frank Henderson, William Gardner 
and Capt. Bob Dennis. On Weetamoe was Messrs. Henry 
F Lippitt. C. Oliver Iselin, L, V. Clark and Capt. Harry 
Haff Neola was well berthed at the start. On the first 
leg both boats got into a luffing match and were well 
across the Sound before they squared away and set spin- 
rakers to run down to the mark. At the mark Neola was 
25s in the lead, and it bid fair to be a close race up to 
the time that Weetamoe twisted the eye in the bobstay 
plate, and came jogging around the course under mam- 
sail, topsail and staysail, -d 
In th -esift. class, Humma, sailed by Mr. W. Butler 
Duncan, beat Syce very handily. 
The two old 40-footers, Ondawa and Choctaw, had a 
close race, and the former won by a small margin. 
In the 43ft. class Dorwina, Effort and Challenge started. 
DorAvina was well sailed and finished a winner by 2m. 9s. 
Leda, in the 36ft. class, had no difficulty in defeating 
her three competitors. Spasm, Empress and Possum. 
Mr. John Hyslop's yaAvl Tern defeated the Crownin- 
shield-designed ya^vl Columbia by 5m. 36s. 
In the 30ft. class Hanley made her first .appearance, and 
defeated Mimosa and the old crack Alerion. 
Indian got her first race of the season in the raceabout 
class. 
Mr. Frank J. Gould's Rochelle won in her class. 
In the New Rochelle one-design class Knave won, and 
in the Manhasset Bay one-design class Lambkin won. 
The wind was light from the S.W. at the start, but in- 
creased so that during the last half of the race there was 
2 good sailing breeze.

Riverside Y. C. 
GREENWICH, LONG ISL.\ND SOUND. 
Saturday, July 5. 
The fourteenth annual regatta of the Riverside Y. C. 
v,'as held on Saturday, July 5. Although fifty-one boats 
started, the race was a most unsatisfactory one, owing to 
the light and variable winds. 
After some clever jockeying before the race between 
Mineola and Yankee, the former got the best start, and 
kept in the lead all over the course, finishing the winner 
in her class. 
Neola was without a competitor, as Weetamoe could 
not be repaired in time to start Neola sailed alone about 
half way around the course, when she withdrew, her 
owner not wanting to run the chance of wetting her nev/ 
sails, as a thunderstorm was threatening in the N.W. 
Effort made a good showing in the 43ft. class, beating 
the new Gardner & Cox boat Challenge, which withdrew. 
The surprise of the day was in the 36ft. class, when 
Leda was beaten by both Spasm and Possum. Leda got a 
bad start, and all through the race the httle slants of wind 
that came up now and then did not seem to reach her. 
Leda is painted black above the waterline this year, and 
she presents a very smart appearance. 
At the time the boats started there was a very fair 
sailing breeze from the N.W., but this gave out and 
left the boats becalmed for a time. Finally a little wind 
came up from the east, and after this died out it came in 
from W.S.W'. The boats had a good breeze to finish 
with. Just after the boats completed the race a heavy 
thunderstorm broke and for a time blew very hard. The 
summary follows: 
Sloops— Class H— 70 to 80 feet— Course 25 Miles- Start, 12:40.
