Carolina seems to be the best light-weather boat among 
the 30-footers. The raee sailed* on Friday was the fourth 
she has won this week in light airs. The course chosen 
wa.s from Brenton's Cove to Beaver Tail and Seal Rock 
and return. Asahi got the best of the start, but was 
passed early in the race by Carolina, which boat won by

Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. 
Midsummer Series. 
HULL, MASS. 
Never in the history of yacht racing in Massachusetts 
Bay has a more successful series of races been held than 
the midsummer series of Y.. R. A. open races given by 
the Hull-Massachusetts Y. C. on Thursday, Friday and 
Saturday, Jidy 24, 25 and 26. Although the cash prizes 
were liberal, the most inviting feature to the racing men 
v^as the set of cups offered by Mr. Thomas W. Lawson 
for the Y. R. A. restricted 25-footers, 21-footers arid 
i8ft. knockabouts. These were beautiful trophies, two in 
each class, and the boys all worked hard to get them. It 
may have been that the natural desire on the part of the 
yachtsmen to "get together" would have brought about a 
good attendance anyway, but it is safe to say that the 
prospect of winniiag these cups kept some of them at it 
stronger than they otherwise might have. 
Throughout the series the most perfect conditions of 
weather were obtained. The breeze that prevailed 
(throughout was from E'. by S. to E.S.E. On the first 
«]ay it was moderate. It was a little stronger on the 
isecond day, a good whole-sail breeze for all classes, and 
"(jn the last day it was for light-weather racing. Under 
(these conditions it was inevitable that no one boat would 
capture all the honors, and in the dividing up of leading 
positions throughout the series, a greater interest was 
maintained at all times. When first and second places 
go shifting around among the boats it stimulates an in- 
terest atnong the individuals and helps to make the classes 
more strong. 
A peculiar combination of figures was found in the 
number of entries. On each day the total number of en- 
tries was forty-four. On two days the number of re- 
stricted boats of the Y. R. A. classes wa.s thirty-four, and, 
on one day, thirty-three. On each day there were eleven 
boats in the restricted 21ft. class and on two of the days 
there were four boats in the knockabout class. There may 
or luay not be luck in the 4-1 1-44 combination, but there 
was certainly luck throughout the series. At the close all 
hands voted that it was a most successful meet. 
The Lawson cups were awarded for the best averages 
on the three days' races, figured by the percentage table 
of the Y. R. A. Only one award was made. That was 
in the 2Sft. class, where Calypso, last year's champion, 
beat out the newer keel boats. In the 21ft. class and in 
the i8ft. knockabouts it was impossible to award the 
cups, as there were several protests to be acted upon, 
wlrch will have to be decided later. With eleven boats 
;starting in the 21-footers and seventeen in the i8-footers, 
iit was inevitable that they would get together and rub 
.sides at the start, and as they are all very closely rnatched, 
•they continued this performance at different points on 
ithe courses. 
Thursday, July 24. 
On the first day of the series a moderate breeze pre- 
vailed, E.S.E. The boats sailed a triangular course, giv- 
ing a beat, a run and a reach. The 25-footers made a 
good start, going over the line in two divisions, one on 
the port ^tack and the other on the starboard. On the 
first leg Seboomook pulled out' a lead, but on the run 
Sally VI. caught and passed her. On the reach, on the 
first time around the triangle, Calypso came up and took 
second place, but on the beat. Seboomook gained it again, 
Sally VI. holding the lead all the time. Seboomook took 
the lead again on the run, and then came a hot scrap to 
the finish. Sally VI. was given a rap full and she pulled 
llu-ough Seboomook's lee. Then both were driven. Sally 
iranaged to keep just ahead of Seboomook, and when 
liie flag mark at the line was reached, she shot into the 
wind and across. Seboomook shot with her, just one 
second behind. There was a hot start in the 21ft. class, 
all coming to the line in a bunch. Opitsah IV. caused 
t'onsternation by coming along on the starboard tack and 
sweeping the line. Chloris pulled out a lead to the first 
mark and lield it until she was to have come to the 
finish line. There was a misunderstanding, in which the 
leading boats turned the wrong buoy, and Micmac came 
up and finished first. Up to that titne it had all been 
Chloris' race. Spinster won in the knockabouts and 
Lurlinc II. in the dory class, after a hot race. The sum- 
mary :

The judges were Foster Hooper, C. E. Lauriat, Jr., and 
S. N. Small. There were, many protests in the 2i-footers, 
mostly on account of the misunderstanding of the course. 
The protests were as follows : Micmac against Chloris, 
Pilot, Opitsah IV., Little Haste and Porcupine; Perhaps 
11. against Mildred II. and Little Haste; Opitsah IV. 
against Micmac and Perhaps H. 
I Friday, July 25. , 
In the second race the wind came from the same direc- 
tion, but was a trifle stronger. In the 25-footers Chewink 
II. was over the line first at the start, but in a strengthen- 
ing breeze Calypso went -out to the front and remained 
there all through the" race. In the 21-footers, Mildred II. 
led to the first mark, but Chloris pulled out a lead on the 
run which she held until they were on the same leg the 
second time around. Then Chloris forgot to set a spin- 
naker and ballooner until after Little Haste had got by 
her, and this cost her the race. In the iSft. knockabouts 
Savage went into first place soon after the start, and she 
remained there to the finish. Darthea won in the race- 
abouts ; Dabster took an easy win in the knockabouts, and 
there was the usual hot finish in the dory class, the race 
going to Lurline II. he summary:

Saturday, July 26. 
For the last day of the series the breeze was lightest of 
all, E. by S. All classes were given the short course, the 
points of sailing being the same as on the previous days. 
In the 25-footers it was all Chewink II. Sally VL was 
pushed over the line too soon at the start, a feature which 
did her no good. Chewink II., however, sailed her race 
of the year, in comparison with the other boats, and 
came home an easy winner, after leading all over the 
course. In the 21-footers, Rooster II. took the windward 
position at the start and pulled out a lead to the first 
mark. After this Little Haste went into the lead and 
she sailed a great race, making faster than any of the 25- 
footers, with the exception of the leader. In the 18- 
fcoters there was a general mix up at the start. Caprice 
came down the line on the starboard tack and mowed 
Malillian. Malillian went into the lead after the start and 
held it until the short beat from the last mark to the 
finish, when Savage came up and won out by seven sec- 
onds. Tunipoo won a good race in the raceabouts ; . 
Jacobin took an easy win in the knockabouts, and Hobo 
and Vera sailed a dead heat in the dory class. The sum- 
mi ary :
