Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y, C. 
OYSTER BAY, LONG ISLANB SOUND. 
Thursday, Sept. 4. 
Twenty-four boats started in the race held at Oyster 
Bay by the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. on Thursday. 
The largest boat to turn up was Empres.s of the 36ft. 
class. She had no coinpetitor, and took a sailover. The 
wind was fresh from the west southwest, which made 
the first leg of the course a reach with booms to port, 
the second leg was also a reach and the third a beat. 
Three of the American Y. C. one-design 21-footers 
sailed in the raceabout class, and one of these boats, 
Jolly Tar, won out. In the American Y. C. one-design 
2ift. class there were four starters. Ping Pong with- 
drew, but the other three boats covered the course, and 
Howdy won out. 
Two of the Larchmont 21-footers started, Dorothy and 
Houri. The former parted her throat halliards and with- 
drew. Houri sailed over the course alone. 
In the Seawanhaka knockabout class four boats started 
and Gowan won by im. 48s. Lucille was only four sec- 
onds behind Bobs, the second boat. 
Knave won again in the New Rochelle one-design 
class by 9m. 7s. Deuce finished second. Lambkin had 
no competitor in the Manhasset Bay one-design class 
and took a sailover. A thunder squall made matters 
rather wet and uncomfortable just as the boats were 
finishing. -The summary follows:

Friday, Sept. 5. 
A good list of entries marked the second day's racing 
at Oyster Baj^. During the race the wind veered from 
northwest to northeast, and it was most unsatisfactory 
racing. 
At the start there was a bad mixup tip but no serious 
damage resulted. All the boats with the exception of 
Mimosa were going to start on the port tack. Mimosa, 
however, came driving down the length of the line on 
the starboard tack with a lot of headway on. Alerion 
luffed up and just got clear, and Mimosa went afoul of 
Houri, the latter boat being disqualified for not getting 
out of the way. Mimosa lost considerably on the start, 
but she soon worked into first place and won handily. 
Jolly Tar, the American Y. C. one-design 21-footer, 
won out again in the raceabout class. 
Howdy won out in the regular 21ft. one-design class 
of the American Y. C. Gowan got a first place in the 
Seawanhaka knockabout class. In class R Chipnnmk 
won out. Knave gets another first place in the New 
Rochelle one-design class. Three of the American Y. 
C. one-design i8-footers started, and Mongoose III. won.

Saturday, Sept. 6. 
The fall regatta of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
vas po« Qi the tnost successful ever held by the club, 
The day was somewhat marred by one bad accident, the 
sinkiiig of Heron, one of the Seawanhaka one-design 
knockabouts. She was in collision with Lucille, another 
of the boats in her class, just before the start. Fortunate- 
ly, no one was injured. 
The first leg of the seventies' course was north north- 
west, three miles; the second, east by north half north, 
four miles, and thence southwest by south four and three- 
quarter miles. The wind was east by north, and strong. 
On board Rainbow was Mr. E. A. Willard and Mr. F. 
M. Hoyt. Her sails had been recut and she was in better 
shape to race than she had been since the New York Y. C. 
cruise. Rainbow got the start, and Yankee crossed the 
line some seconds behind her. It was a reach to the 
first mark, and both boats were going at a great rate of 
speed. The water was boiling along their deck half way 
up to the skylights. Rainbow got around the first mark 
considerably in the lead of Yankee. It was now a beat to 
the second mark. In the nasty sea that was running the 
second mark had either sunk or gone adrift, and after the 
two boats had looked carefully for it, they squared away 
for the finish line. 
The Regatta Committee wanted to have them resail 
the race, but it was decided to postpone it until the fol- 
lowing Friday, It was very disappointing that the mark 
was not in place for the race promised to be one of the 
most exciting ever sailed by these boats. 
Tlie wind hauled to E.S.E. when the smaller boats were 
started. Leda and Empress fought the race out in the 
36ft. class, and the former won easily. The winning of 
this race gives Leda the championship in her class on 
Long Island Sound. 
Alerion. Mimosa and Marguerite started in the 30ft. 
class. The two latter boats had a good race all over 
the course, and Marguerite distinguished herself by win- 
ning out bj^ im. 22s. Dorothy beat Houri by over a 
minute in the Larchmont 2ift. class. 
Eight boats started in the raceabout class. Jolly Tar 
got the best start, but she did not show up to advantage 
in the heavj' breeze, and was the last boat in her class to 
finish. Whistlewing won by five seconds from Mavis. 
Mavis and Jolly Tar were sailing for a series prize which 
Mavis w'on. 
Six of the Seawanhaka knockabouts were to start. 
After Lucille had sunk Heron she withdrew, and the 
other boats finished without her. Gowan won, with 
Marcia second. Gowan wins the series prize, while 
Marcia gets the Center Island cup. 
In class Q Cicada beat Montauk with ease, and in class 
R Nor^ won from Cricket. Bab gave Lambkin another 
beating in the Manhasset Bay one-design class. Knave 
gets another first place in the New Rochelle one-design 
class. The summary follows :

QUXNCY^ MASS. 
Saturday, Sept. 6. 
The Y. R. A. open race of the Quincy Y. C, the closing 
one to be held under the rules of the Yacht Racing As- 
sociation of Massachusetts, was sailed off the Quincy 
Y. C, in a reefing east-northeast breeze on Saturday, 
Sept. 6. There were only two of the 25-footers, Sally VI. 
and Chewink II. Sally VI. got the start. Chewink IL 
was over the line when the gun fired and had to return, 
Sally pulled out a good lead from the start and looked 
like an e^sy winner, when she turned the wrong mark on 
the first leg and was more than half way to the second 
mark when the error was discovered. Notwithstanding 
the loss, she went back and kept gaining on Chewink, 
which obtained a long lead by Sally's mistake. Sally 
passed Chewink on the second windward leg and then had 
things all her own way. 
In the 2r-footers there were two starters, Chloris and 
Mildred II. Chloris got the start, but they had been 
sailing only a short time when Mildred went out to 
weather of her and led to the first mark. On the second 
leg Chloris gained and 013 the thir^ she passed Mildred, 
On the second windward leg Chloris sailed better and held 
her lead to the mark, after which she had things all her 
own way. The 18ft. knockabouts went over the starting 
hne in a bunch and Kittawake at once opened up a lead. 
She held this all around the course and benefited by the 
mistake of all of the other boats turning the wrong buoy 
on both rounds of the course, Kittawake was a stranger 
to Quincy waters, while all of the other boats had raced 
there. A good race was sailed in the handicap class. Mar- 
vel winning on both actual and corrected times. The 
summary:

NEWPORT, R. I. 
Monday, Sept. i. 
The races sailed Labor Day under the auspices of the 
N^_ewport Y. R. A. were most unsatisfactory, as the list 
of entries was small and there was a number of acci- 
dents. The wind blew half a gale from the southwest 
and there was a nasty sea running outside. 
The bronze sixties, Weetamoe and Neola, were started 
first. Ten minutes after the start Neola's jib split across 
the middle and she withdrew, Weetamoe soon followed 
suit. 
Humma got the best of the start in class K, and she 
had quite a lead on Altair when she broke the jaws of her 
gaff and withdrew. Altair covered the course alone. 
Barbara and Veda were the only 30-footers to cover 
the coiirse. Carolina and Asahi withdrew and Esperanza 
was dismasted. Barbara sailed over the course with 
her mast sprung. The summary follows:

The race sailed on Tuesday was over the inside 
courses. The wind was moderate from the southeast. 
Weetamoe and Neola sailed over an eight and one- 
half mile to leeward and return course, Neola got the. 
best of the start and was ahead at the leeward mark, 
but Weetamoe worked into the lead on the last leg and 
won by 2m. 26s. 
Humma was being repaired and in consequence Al- 
tair had no competitor and did not start. 
In the 30ft. class Carolina got the best of the start 
and led all over the course. The thirties covered the 
Dyer's Island course. The summary follows:

Humma and Altair sailed in an unsatisjactory race on 
Wednesday. The course was from Brenton's Reef Light- 
ship nine miles to windward and return. The wind was 
fluky from the south. Humma got the start, crossing 
nine seconds ahead of Altair, and was never afterward 
headed. The 30-footers sailed over an eight-mile tri- 
angular course in the bay. Wawa took the lead after the 
start and led all over the course. The summary follows:

Humma and Altair, the two 51-footers, sailed a match 
race off Newport on Thursday in half a gale of wind. 
The start was made from Brenton's Reef Light vessel 
to and around the whistling buoy off Point Judith. This 
made the first leg a beat of seven miles and then a run 
of seven miles. Humma was first over the starting line 
with Altair behind and to windward. A long hitch was 
made off shore first and then the boats worked along 
Naragansett Beach to the mark, which Humma rounded 
first. On the run home she increased her lead and won 
by 2m. 4Ss. The summary follows:
