Satlifday, Aug. 16,

ner's Bay. Twenty-four craft entered the contest. The 
winners were Scapha, Leda, Flosshilde, Indian, Psi, Eel- 
i-k-n and Bother Effort and Syce scored sailovers.

e, all sailing together in one class. The yawl Scapha 
wen ihe Weber cup, offered for yawls under like ccndi- 
tic^.^. 
1 !)r races for class R boats were sailed in the morning 
to n\ oi.i confusion. Psi, owned by Andrew Bancker, was

Snook. Arrow. Arva did not finish. In sub-class R, J. 
L. Hutchf^'^n's Eelskin carried off the honors. 
When the first of the larger boats were sent away at 
2:10 in the afrernoon, there was hardly a breath of air 
stirring. Thi-e conditions lasted until the craft reachetl 
Crow Shoal B'lcy, marking the end of the first leg of the 
course. At this stage of the contest a breeze from the 
north sprang up. The boats astern were the first to get 
the new wind, wli'ch aided them materially in picking up 
the leaders. 
Effort was the first to gybe around the buoy. She 
immediately squartd away for the mark off Cedar Island 
Point, at the end of the second leg. Syce was the second 
craft to round the first mark, followed by Indian. Pom- 
pilia and Scapha well bunched. At the second mark 
Effort led Syce by a g cd margin, while Scapha, Indian 
and Pompilia were over a minute astern. Effort was the 
first of the fleet to finish. 
Flosshilde, winner of the sloop class N competition, 
sailed a fine race. Beside capturing the Fuller cup for 
the best corrected time, she defeated her nearest class 
competitor, Helen, by over tl'.ree minutes. Alerion was 
third boat of this class to finish. She crossed the line 
about 20oft. astern of Helen. Kalniia. George Trow- 
bridge Hollister's new Gardner & Cox boat, was about 
the same distance away. 
Frank C. Swan's sloop Heron a.'-.d William Fallert's 
yaAvl Scapha sailed in one class on special time allowance. 
The yawl won. 
The family of the noted yachtsman, J. Rogers Maxwell, 
was well represented in the contest, no less than three 
craft sailed by boys of the family entering. In sloop class 
P, Indian, with J. Rogers Maxwell, Jr., at the tiller, beat 
his bro'ther, Howard L., in Pompilia. In class M Leda, 
another of the Maxwell fleet, defeated E. D. King's Spasm

Kennebec. Y. C. to be sailed for by the club boats of 20 
to 25ft. waterline length. The cup is to be sailed for in a 
series of three races each season, and the boat winning the 
cup three years in succession becomes the owner. 
First Race, Thursday, July 31. 
The first series race for the Commodore's cup was 
sailed on Thursday, July 31. The day was bright and 
clear, and the wind was strong from the south. The 
boats sailed over a seven-mile triangular course. It was a 
run to the upper stake at Winslow's Ledge, the boats 
turning in' the order they started, Aspenet, Dewey, Swift, 
Dewey being reefed, as it was too strong for her. .After 
turning to' windward Swift crossed Dewey's bow, going 
into second position, which she held to the lower stake, 
Aspenet turning first, folowed by Swift and Dewey, for 
the run to-' the finish, all setting spinnakers. Shortly after 
setting thpni Swift caried away her spinnaker boom near 
the inner end, which lost her the race. As Dewey passed 
her she gat it reset, but Swift took second on corrected 
lime. The summary :

The second series race for the Commodore's cup was" 
sailed on Saturday. Aug. 2. The wind was light from the 
east, and the weather was cloudy. The boats covered a 
seven-mile triangular course. It was a reaching race all 
over the conrse, with the light breeze just Dewey's day. 
Dewey and Aspenet sailed a close race, leaving the smaller 
boat Sw'ft, far behind, Dewey winning by one second 
elapsed and fifty seconds corrected time. Dewey is a 
jib-and mainsail, Aspenet a cat with a jib, and Swift a 
cat without jib. On tHe reach on the last leg Aspenet 
carried her spinnaker as a balloon jib, and Dewey carried 
her balloon jib, thus leaving Swift still further behind.

Third Race, Saturday, Aug. 9. 
The third race for the Commodore's cup was sailed on 
Saturday, Aug. 9. The day was clear and the breeze fresh 
from the south. The yachts sailed over the same course 
as in the two previous races. Dewey had just her breeze, 
full sail, while both Aspenet and Swift could have stood it 
decidedly stronger. Aspenet met with an accident at the 
upper turn, which delayed her somewhat. Dewey wins 
series for a leg for the cup with a total percentage of 
225, average 75 per cent. ; Aspenet, total percentage, 185, 
average 61 2-3 per cent., and Swift, total, 145, with aver- 
age 48 1-3 per cent. The summary:

BATH BEACH, L. I. 
Saturday, Aug. 16. 
A SPECIAL sweepstakes race was held on Saturday, Aug. 
16, for the one-design class of the Marine and Field Club, 
ir. which Jig-a-Jig, belonging to W. A. Hutcheson, 
evolved victorious, beating Stinger, her nearest rival, by 
twelve sec6nds. 
The event was arranged in place of the sixth contest 
for the Snedeker trophy, in which series Kelpie, owned 
by W. K. Brown, had a great enough lead to win first 
honors without sailing the last scheduled contest. The 
final standing in the struggle of five races for the trophy 
follows: Kelpie, 15; Stinger, 10; Quinque, g; Vixen, 6; 
Flying Fox, 5; Jig-a-Jig. 4. 
The tie between Stinger and Kelpie for the cup pre- 
sented by President Theodore L. Cuyler, each having 
won a race, was recently decided. After leading for the 
first part of the struggle, the throat halyards on Kelpie 
broke, forcing her to withdraw, thus giving the race and 
trophy -to Stinger. 
Next Saturday, in the seventh regatta of the Yacht 
Racing Association of Grnvescnd Bay, under the auspices 
of the Marine and Field Club, these one-design boats will 
sail the first race for a cup presented by F. L. Dauchy, to 
be won by the craft capturing the best two out of three 
races. The suminaries of the sweepstakes race follows:
