Tuesday, July 8. 
Wheti Tlifesday broke the weatlier cottditioiis were aHy- 
thihg but prchlisitig. The witld Was stl-oftg fi-om S.W. 
and frotri the overcast sky the rain fell iii tofi'ehts. Abotlt 
9 o'clock it begati to clear, and as thefe livas a tiiee i.W. 
breeze blowing, the preparatory signal was fnade St 9:30 
on the committee boat. The starting line was oflf the 
lighthouse at the western end of the east breakwater. 
The course was E. hy S., twenty-five miles to Cornfield 
light A^essel, then E. j4 N. to Bartlett Reef light vessel, 
then N.E. by E. two ttliles to the finish, of? Sarah's 
Ledge. 
The boats in class L were started at 9 :4s. Mira allowed 
ih. each to Rondinella attd Heron, and ih. and 4Ss. to 
Narika. 
Yatikefe allowed Neola l8m. and Eelin 26m. All the 
boats got away oil the starboard tack, and most of them 
were carrying baby jib topsails. Yankee held close in to 
Thimble Island and got out of the tide, while the athefs 
stayed out in the Sound. 
Just before reaching Faulkner's Island, Emerald drew 
into the lead, which position she held up to the time she 
finished. The boats passed Cornfield Lightship in the 
order named : Emerald, Sachem, Yankee. Neola, Varuna 
and Loyal. Sheets were eased well off here and spin- 
nakers were set to starboard. When Bartlett's Reef 
Lightship was passed. Emerald was still in the lead, hu\ 
Yankee had moved into second place. At this poiht spin- 
nakers were doused and booms g3'bed over to starboard, 
as it was a broad reach to the finish line. 
Com. Robert E. Todd's schooner Thistle accompanied 
the fleet, and was the fourth boat to finish, having started 
at 9 o'clock. The summary:

THIRD .SQUADRON RUN — NEW LONDON TO SHELTER ISLAND. 
Wednesday, July 9. 
A fresh S.W. breeze made the run from New London 
to Shelter Island an interesting one. It was a beat across 
and Yankee led the fleet. 
The boats were started off Sarah's Ledge and the 
preparatory signal was made at 10 o'clock. 
Yankee was the last boat to start, but she walked 
through the fleet in great style. 
The boats passed through Plum Gut in this order.-, 
Yankee, Mira, Isolt, Sachem, Eclipse, Varuna, Uncas, 
Loyal and Maraquita. Some of the boats got caught 
with little or no breeze in the Gut, and were delayed 
some time. Yankee and Mira were the first boats through. 
It was now a long leg and a short one across Gardner's 
Bay to the finish line off Long Beach Point. Yankee 
was first to finish, followed by Mira, Eelin, Sachem, 
Uncas, Isolt, Lbyal, Eclipse, Varuna, Rondinella and 
Heron. The summary follows :

Yacht Racing™Association of 
Gravesend Bay. 
Saturday, Jtily 12. 
^ The foiirth regatta of the Yacht Racing Association of 
Gravesend Say Was held ort July 12 undef the anspieeg of 
the Marine and Field Club, Bath Beach, L. 1 Twetity- 
four craft started. Three did fiot finish and ofle was 
disqualified. The winners in the diffcrettt classes were 
Sunol, Caribou, Cockatoo, Bronco, Kelpie and Booziie. 
ViviaS atid Opossum scored sailovers. 
The race niafked the advent of a newcomer in class V 
for catboats, which it is hoped is but the forerunner of 
other additions. She administered a defeat to the hitherto 
unbeaten Martha M., although the victory was by only 6s. 
The new craft is from Patchogue, L. I., and belongs to 
C. D. Dtirkee, of the Brooklyn Y. C. Her njinie is 
Boozie. 
Gravesend Bay never saw a better racing day. The 
yachts were started off in a two-reef breeze, which held 
true £ind did not lighten until just before the finish, and 
there was almost a whole-sail breeze. 
The ptepflratory signal was sounded at 3 o'clock, and 
the different classes Were sent away at 3m. intervals, be- 
ginning at 3 :03. The start, on the whole, Avas very satis- 
factory. The signal for a reversal of the course, in which 
all marks are left on tl:e port instead of the starboard 
hand, was flown, according to the regulations by which 
ihe Association races are governed. None of the starters 
in class N or above saw the red flag, and they covered the 
course out to West Bank Light and return in the usual 
way. 
As all of them started the same, however, rather than 
throw out their entries, the Regatta Committee decided to 
allow the records to stand. 
Of the smaller boats, which sail the regular inside As- 
sociation Course, Song and Dance started over the wrong 
way, and only after she saw the other craft sailing a 
dift'erent course, did she come back and start aright. 
ariTia, another class P boat, failed to cross inside the 
starting line, and returned to do so quite a bit after the 
start. 
At one time the gun used by the Regatta Committee 
went on a temporary strike, and although the signals were 
displayed at the proper titne, the absence of the accus- 
tomed boom confused the yachtsmen soinewhat. 
AH these circumstances, no doubt, were responsible for 
the finishes, which, excepting in class V, were of the pro- 
cession variety. There were few changes in the order of 
tke craft after the first round. A strong ebb tide was 
running and the Corinthian, who coped with this suc- 
cessfully, providing he had started aright, in most cases 
found himself in the lead. 
In special class M, cruising trim, Sunol won from 
Bonito. The latter did not finish. Before the race Sunol 
and Bonito were tied on points, but the result of the con- 
test put the former ten in the lead. 
Caribou defeated Squaw in class N by 2m. and iSs, 
elapsed time. Indian did not finish. Cockatoo led Streak 
in class P by 6m. 37s. Song and Dance and Karma made 
poor showings because of the mistakes in starting. 
In class Q Bronco led Wraith by 2m. and 23s. at the 
finish. Wraith was disqualified for fouling a mark, and 
second place went to Trouble. This puts the latter ahead 
on points for the series to date, with Bronco second and 
Wraith third: 
The former class R boat. Opossum, has been recently 
m^easured and is found to be long enough for class Q 
with three men aboard. Because of the recent action of 
the Association regarding her entry in the class, she was 
raced as a special. 
Kelpie led the Marine and Field boats from the start. 
She defeated Stinger, her nearest rival, by 35s. In the 
second round Stinger passed Quinque, and Vixen got 
ahead of Flying Fox. It was the first start of the year for 
the latter. 
Beside points on the Association series. Kelpie's victory 
gives her a leg on the Cuyler cup. The series for this 
trophj' now stands a tie between Kelpie and Stinger, each 
having captured one leg. The two boats will sail ofl^ for 
the cup at some future date. 
Boozie won in the class for catboats. Rascal protested 
Martha M. for crowding and eventual fouling at one of 
the marks. The protest has not been decided, and figuring 
the standing to stand in the dift'erent classes, the protest, 
lor the present, is disregarded. 
The next Association race occurs on July 26, under the 
auspices of the Atlantic Y. C. Each club in the organiza- 
tion has now held one race. The summaries follow :

La Rita Wins Lipton Cup, 
Chicago, 111., July 8. — As telegraphed Monday evening. 
La Rita won the third race straight in the series for the 
Lipton cup. Arab IV., dissatisfied with the percentage 
accorded her in the earlier race, withdrew, and Sprite,. 
Dr. Pinkard's well-handled boat, was the only competitjjr 
to start with La Rita in the third race of 'the series. 
The race was run over the rectangular course, twelve 
miles, and Sprite left it by no means a walkover for the 
Gloucester boat, the margin at the finish being but 3m. 25s.- 
in favor of La Rita. The start was unconscionably de- 
layed, and the breeze at 3:10, when the preliminary gun 
was fired, had dropped considerably. For a time it was 
thought that the boats would not finish within the time 
allowance. 
The boats went away under balloon jibs. Later, on the 
windward work, Sprite had the better of it and cut down 
the lead. La Rita, however, led by 25s. at the first stake, 
and in the beat and reaching which followed, maintained 
a lead at one time of nearly sm. The last leg of the course 
showed some interest, as Sprite began to close, though not 
at any time strictly dangerous. La Rita winning with a 
good margin and demonstrating its superiority over the 
local fleet in this series. 
It is to be regretted that a more general interest and a 
larger entry did not appear in the contest for this in- 
teresting trophy. Owing to the small entry and the de- 
cisive wins of La Rita, the matter here did not assume 
the importance which it otherwise would have done andl 
ought to have done. The following are the times in the 
last race, start 3:20:

The Twenty-one Foot Class at Islesbofo, Maine* 
The raceabout, although being succeeded at Marbleheadl 
by the 21-footer, and on Buzzard's Bay by the 30-footer, 
still holds sway at Islesboro, and is even gaining, rather 
than losing, in popularity on this part of the coast. Small 
and easily handled, this boat makes an ideal craft for the 
smooth waters of Penobscot Bay. The prospects for good 
racing in this class for the coming summer at Islesboro 
are better than ever before. In addition to the eleven 
starters of last suinmer, there will be three new boats, 
Idol, Persimmon and Jilt, although the last named has 
been a starter in the Islesboro class off and on for the 
last two years. Following is a list of the starters for the 
coming season: Raider, Messrs, Derby; Mongoose, Messrs. 
Starr; Peterkin, Mr. Kissel; Bagheera (knockabout), 
Messrs. Greenough; Opitsah I., Mr. Daniels; Betsy, Mr. 
Piatt; Day Dream II., Mr. Minturn; Loafer, Messrs. 
Shattuck; Mist, Messrs. Lawrence; Pirate, Messrs. Met- 
calf; Cross Patch, Mr. Silsbee; Idol, Mr. Lyman; Per- 
simmon, Mr. Dodge; Jilt, Mr. Gay. 
In addition to these 21-footers are two 25-footers — Flirt, 
owned by Mr. Bond, and Chewink, owned by Mr. Scull.. 
There have already been several cups offered for the 
coming season. One offered by Dr. Derb^^ is for the boat 
winning the greatest number of points in four consecutive 
races. Each boat gets one point for finishing, and one: 
point for each boat she beats, and in addition there is a, 
premium of five, three and one points for first, second and' 
third place, respectively. Another cup has been offered 
by Mr. Scttll in the 25ft. class, in which the same system 
of scoring holds good. The Tarratine Club has also 
offered a cup, in the 21ft. class, for the boat making the 
best record through the season. Several other ctips have 
been promised, but not yet offered. 
For the last two summers the courses over which the 
.reason's races have been sailed have been 'a small tri- 
angle, a mile and a half to each leg, sailed over twice, 
and a five-mile course to windward and return, down to- 
ward Owl's Head, both in the West Penobscot Bay. But 
the close proximity of the Camden Hills makes the sail- 
ing in the West Bay most puffy and treacherous, and it 
is more than likely that many of this season's races will 
be sailed over a course in the East Penobscot Bay, espe- 
cially if it proves feasible to get the boats around the 
head of the island to the start. 
The season's racing began with the first race for Dr. 
Derby's cup on Saturday, Jul}'^ 12. 
New York Y. C. Cf«ise.
