Saturday', July 12. 
The last day of the racing under the auspices of the 
New York Y. C. was marked by some very spirited con- 
tests and some unfortunate accidents. Elmina. when 
rounding the outer mark, broke her foremast off about 
half way up from the deck. Her main topmast was soon 
after carried away, and she was almost as much of a 
wreck as Muriel when the latter was dismasted off Race 
Rock while on the New York Y. C. cruise last year. No 
one was injured. It is really remarkable considermg the 
large number of big yachts that have been dismasted dur- 
ing the last few years that no personal injuries have at- 
tended them. 
The wind was S.W. and blowing a nice saihng breeze 
when the committee boat went out to the startmg Ime at 
10 o'clock. The course for the 60 and 70ft. sloops and the 
schooners was twelve miles to windward and return, and 
for the 30-footers six miles to windward and return. 
The windward mark for the big boats was three and one- 
half miles northeast of Block Island whistling buoy, and for 
the small boats it was one and one-half miles southeast 
of the whi:^tHng buoy off Point Judith. 
The preparatory signal was made at 11:30. The 60- 
footers were the first boats to start, and they set baby jib 
topsails in stops. Neola was in the weather berth, and 
although doing the best, Weetamoe could not get away 
from the leeward position. Both boats gybed twice m the 
maneuvering, but Neola still held her position. Neola was 
first across, with Weetamoe under her lee, but the latter s 
skipper brought his craft around and recrossed handi- 
capped 26s., but having clear wind. Weetamoe tacked off 
to the E., while Neola held over toward the Narragan- 
sett shore. _ , , . , 
At 11:45 the 70-footers started. Both stood for the 
line on the starboard tack, Mineola in the weather berth. 
As the boats ran down the line toward the committee 
boat Mineola bore awav and immediately Rainbow was 
luffed across Mineola's stern. Rainbow did not hold this 
position long, for the wind was blowing out of Mineola s 
headsails, so she went on the port tack and followed 
Neola. - Mineola soon followed. 
The schooners got away at 11:50. Muriel was hrst 
across, followed by Amorita. who had Elmina under 
her lee. Muriel and Amorita went on the port tack after 
crossing and Elmina followed a little later. 
While Neola was holding in shore, Weetamoe was stay- 
ing outside, and apparently doing well. Mineola was 
leading Rainbow when they took the starboard tack. When 
Muriel tacked inshore she crossed Elmma's bow, and then 
stood inshore again. When Amorita came out, Elmina 
crossed her bow and went after Muriel ; these two boats 
had a fine struggle inshore, while Amorita held out off 
^^Mineola was well ahead of Rainbow, and Neola was 
in the lead of Weetamoe. ^ , 
Muriel and Elmina approached the mark on the star- 
board tack, while Amorita came down on the port tack. 
Amorita <^ave way for Muriel and wont under her stern, 
and bv a wonderfully pretty piece of handling shot across 
Elmina' s bow and went around the mark first. The timse 
at this mark were: 
Mineola 13134 Amorita 1 52 02 
S°:.::.::::::::::::::::il^i ^ :::::::::::::::::::iiio 
Weetamoe 1 42 45 
It was at this point that Elmina's rig went out of her.. 
The tua C. P. Raymond, that had been with the Atlantic 
Y. C. fleet, took her in tow and brought her m to New- 
^°After rounding sheets were eased off and spinnakers 
were set to port. Balloon jibs were also broken out. 
Mineola continued tJ> improve her lead, and Neola drew 
steadily away from Weetamoe. Muriel was surely over- 
hauling Amorita, and if she had. not parted the throat 
halliards her for<;sail would surely have won the race. 
Humma had not been able to start, as she carried her 
topmast out Vefore the race. ^. t , ^ r 
Elmina vWl probably be towed to City Island for re- 
pairs an-' new spars, rigging and sails. The summary

Seawanhaka Cup Trial Boats. 
We publtsii this week half-tones of the eight boats that 
competed in the Seawanhaka cup trial races at Bridgeport 
a short time ago. While the boats were all of the same 
type, still they were widely different in design. The races 
satisfied all concerned that the design of the boats' hulls 
counted about 40 per cent., wliile good sails and good 
handling made up the balance of the result. 
Mr, Frank N. Tandy has sold for Mr. John R. Buchan 
Ihe 35ft. waterline sloop Rondinella to Mr. F. H. Davol.

ISLESBORO, ME. 
Saturday, July 12. 
The second race of the season for a prize offered by 
'Mr. Brown, of Dark Harbor, was sailed on Saturday, 
July 12, at 3 :09 in the afternoon. The wind was blow- 
ing almost a reefing breeze from the south'ard, kicking up 
a rough sea against a strong ebb tide. The course, laid in 
the West Penobscot Bay, was two and one-half miles 
to windward and return, to be sailed over twice. Just 
before the first gun the Persimmon unfortunately carrieri 
away her bowsprit and was forced to retire from the 
race. 
The following boats crossed the line on a one-gun start 
in the order named: Jilt, Daydream, Opitsah. Raider, 
Loafer. Jilt, Daydream and Opitsah stood off shore, 
whereas Raider and Loafer tacked immediately under the 
islands in hopes of finding smooth water. Jilt and Day- 
dream soon followed suit, closely followed by Opitsah. 
Seeing that Raider and Loafer were doing good work in 
the smooth water. Daydream, pointing higher and foot- 
ing faster than Jilt, soon worked out a considerable lead, 
especially when the shelter of the shore was left, and the 
fleet struck out into rough water. Raider hammered out 
a lead on Opitsah, but seemed unable to gain on either 
Jilt or Daydream. All five boats were rapidly approach- 
ing the windward mark, and were well out in the rough 
water, with an ever-increasing breeze. Daydream seemed 
to like the conditions, and slowly increased her lead. She 
rounded the mark at 3:46:00, closely followed by Jilt, 
3:46:20, and Raider at 3:46:50. Opitsah did not allow 
enough for the mark and was forced to tack under it, 
thus losing much time. She rounded at 3 :48 : 10. Loafer 
rounded at 3:50:20, a poor fifth. 
The run was uneventful, the boats gaining and losing 
little. At the finish of it, however, Daydream unfortu- 
nately made a mistake about the course, and started 
home, thinking it was only to be sailed over once. This 
mistake put her out of the race, and Jilt took the lead. 
After rounding the mark she stood off shore, while Raider 
tacked around and sought calm water under the islands. 
Opitsah followed suit, and Jilt soon*also stood in in a 
commanding weather berth. Opitsah gained consider- 
ably in the smooth water on Raider, but lost all she had 
gained, and more still, in the rough water. Jilt made 
short tacks and Raider followed suit, holding her fairly 
well. Opitsah struck out into the bay and was much 
slowed up by the hgavy sea. The wind dropped a bit, but 
the chop was still sharp, and it was heavy going for all 
hands. Jilt increased her lead, if anything, and rounded 
the windward mark at 4 :42 :35, followed by Raider at 
4:44:03, and Opitsah at 4:45:45. Loafer again rounded 
a poor fourth at o :48 :5o. Jilt and Opitsah gybed and set 
their spinnakers to port. Raider, however, set hers to 
starboard. The run in was not exciting, as the boats were 
well separated. Jilt won handsomely by im. 29s from 
Raider. 
The beauty of the finish was much enhanced by the 
presence of Vice-Com. Sloane, of the Seawanhaka Y. C.'s 
schooner Idler ; Mr. Lay's 70-footer, Athene ; Mr. Steele's 
steamer, Laurita, which acted as judges' boat, and Dr. 
Derby's 40-footer Petrel. 
The summary of times follows:

Daydream, T. W. Minturn Withdrew. 
Tilt, W. O.'Lay 5 01 51 1 52 51

Loafer, L. Shattuck Withdrew. 
The fact that only five boats started can be explained, 
for Pirate had a mishap with her rudder just before the 
start; Persimmon carried away her bowsprit, and Idol and 
Peterkin were not "in racing shape. All four of these 
boats are creditable performers, and in such conditions as 
Saturday's race, can be expected to finish close together, 
Peterkin, formerly Cyrilla, of Herreshoft' design, so suc-^ 
cessfully raced by Robert Emmons in Buzzard's Baj^, won 
the championship at Islesboro last summer. _ She is an 
excellent all-round boat, but seems to prefer smooth water 
to rough. Idol, designed by Burgess, and formerly raced 
at Marblehead, is a new boat at Islesboro. She won the 
first race of the season, which was little more than a 
reaching match in smooth water, She appears to be fast 
on the wind in light airs, but is considerably slowed up 
by a chop. Her rig is high and narrow, as is Peterkin' s. 
Little is known about Persimmon, a Purdon design 
formerly raced on the Sound. She is a smart-looking 
boat, but her rigging seems to be too light for the severe 
winds of Maine. Pirate, a former Marblehead champion, 
of Crowninshield design, is a fair all-round performer, 
but prefters a moderate wind and sea. She at times shows 
bursts of speed, but seems a hard boat to get the best out 
of. Jilt, designed by Herreshoff, and winner of Satur- 
day's race, is one of the top boats of the raceabout class, 
and has one of the most wonderful racing records. In 
moderate winds she is a difficult boat to beat, but she ap- 
pears too short to batter through a heavy seaway. Day- 
dream, a Crowninshield design, clearly outsailed Jilt in 
every particular on Saturdaj''s race, and would have won 
had it not been for her unfortunate mistake. She is a 
long, clean-cut, thoroughbred-looking boat that works to 
windward in rough water like a charm. She is capable of 
pointing very high and footing with any other member of 
the fleet. She appears a bit logy in calm weather or 
moderate breezes. 
Opitsah is a Purdon design, and much resembles Per- 
simmon,' although it is doubtful if she is as fast. Her new 
sails this year do not appear to be satisfactory. Raider 
was designed by Crane three years ago, and raced with 
fair success on the Sound. She sails well to windward 
in a breeze and rovigh water, and also in a very light air. 
In all conditions between these she is not more than aver- 
age. Loafer, designed by Crowninshield, much resembles 
Daydream, but is not as fast. She has possibilities, how- 
ever, and if she can be gotten into really good shape 
should prove a winner. Cross Patch is a Lawley boat, but 
is: seldom raced, as she only begins to wal-.e up when a 
young hurricane is blowing. Then, however, she car 
show her heels to any other boat in the bay. Mongoooe 
is another old Marblehead chairpion, and is a production 
of Crowninshield. She, as is Mist, also of Crownin- 
shield design, is completely outclassed, and it is doubtful 
if either will be raced this season. Betsy, formerly a good 
performer in these waters, is also o>it of the ganie. 
The weather at Isie,''boro is on the whole rough. A 
.*ioutheiiy wind generally oraws up the bay during ths 
afternoon, and if it nieets an ebb tide kicks up a nasty 
quick chop tliat puts an end to the windward abilities 
of any scow-built boat. The Regatta Committee is very 
fond of laying out a windward and leeward course, and 
gives more of them on the average than of triangles, it 
being hoped to encourage the more or less heavy rigging 
of the boats rather than the use of light rope and wire. A 
fast season is looked for, as many prizes have been offered 
and the owners of the boats are showing a keen, sports- 
manlike attitude that bids well for the future of the 
sport at Islesboro. Richard Derby.
