New York Y. C. 
GLEN GOVE, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Thursday, Sept. 11. 
Seventeen boats started in the annual autumn sweep- 
stakes of the New York Y. C, and the s^iil oflE for the 
prizes offered at the spring regatta, which was postponed 
on account of calm weather. 
The regatta committee was on board Mr. Frederick 
G. Bourne's steam yacht Colonia. while the club mem- 
bers and their guests used the steamer William Fletcher 
from which to see the races. 
The wind was south by west at the time of the start, 
and the following course was signalled from Colonia. 
which boat made the starting line off Matinicock Point 
buoy. It was from a line between the committee boat 
and a mark a quarter of a mile north from Matinicock 
Point buoy, six miles east by north to and around a mark 
one and a quarter miles west by north from Lloyd's 
Point, four miles northwest to and around a mark one 
and three-quarter miles east by north from Great Cap- 
tain's Island Light, five miles southwest three-quarters 
sou'^h to the mark at start. 
The preparatory signal was made at 11.30, and ten 
minutes later boats in classes J. K, L and M were started. 
Altair was first away w'th Effort next, while the others 
crossed as follows, Humma, Eclipse and Ondawa. Gavi- 
ota followed some distance behind. On the next signal 
yachts in classes G, H, I were sent aw^ay. Y'ankee was 
lust on the line at gun fire, followed by Weetamoe, 
Neola, Rainbow, EeUn and Isolde. The signal given at 
ir.50 was for the schooners. Elmina was first over with 
Muriel just astern, the others crossing in the following 
order, Katrina, Wayward and Indra. 
It was a broad reach to the first mark, and balloon 
jibs were found to be most beneficial, the boats that set 
.spinnakers soon taking them in, as they did more harm 
than good. 
Yankee was sailing well and was fast getting away from 
Rainbow. Eelin sailed by Captain Charlie Barr, kept 
dropping Isolde. After crossing Muriel and Elmina 
got into a lufHing match that took them well off their 
course. Muriel got the best of it and was ahead and 
to windward of Elmina. At the first mark Muriel was 
seconds ahead of her competitor. The old sloop Eclipse 
was at the mark just as Muriel came down on it and 
she had to bear off to clear her and make a wide turn. 
Elmina's skipper took advantage of this opening and 
swung his boat inside of Eclipse, thus making a close 
turn and securing the lead. This bit of ill luck cost 
Muriel the race. Weetamoe had opened up quite a 
gap between herself and Neola on this leg. 
From the first mark the boats had a reach to a buoy 
off Great Captain's Island, and then it was a beat back 
to the starting line. The boats that held in under the 
Long Island shore were materially benefited in the wind- 
ward work. 
Those boats competing for the Bergen Handicap Cup 
and those in cruising trim and class M, covered the 
course but once. 
At the end of the first round. Yankee was im. 30s. 
ahead of Rainbow, Weetamoe led Neola by 3m., Eehn 
was 2m. 26s. in the lead of Isolde, while Elmina had 
Muriel by im. 8s. 
Balloon jibs were broken out after rounding the home 
mark, and the boats reached away again for the first 
mark. On this leg Yankee increased her lead a little 
on Rainbow, and Weetamoe increased her advantage 
over Neola, while Muriel came up on Elmina in good 
shape. 
On the second round the breeze increased a little. 
The second leg was a reach and ballooners were again 
carried. After luffing around the mark off Great Cap- 
tain's Island the boats sett-led down to the hard beat up 
to the finish line. Yankee and Rainbow held along under 
the north shore. Elmina and Muriel made long tacks 
across the Sound, while the two "sixties," Weetamoe 
and Neola, stood in under the Long Island shore. At 
the height of the fight between Elmina and Muriel, the 
latter's main top staysail got adrift, and from that time 
on Elmina kept getting away from her, although she won 
by only 14s. 
When near the finish line Humma had a luffing match 
with Eelin, and the former got a little the best of it and 
crossed first. 
The "sixty" Weetamoe, designed by Messrs. Gardiner 
& Cox, distinguished herself by beating the 70-footer, 
\''ankee, by 25s. This is rather a remarkable perform- 
ance, and it is evident that the owners of these bronze 
boats are now getting them in shape. Neola has had 
the paint removed from her topsides, and she looks very 
slick and reminds one of Shamrock II. Neola still car- 
ries her solid mast, while Weetamoe has a hollow stick.

Atlantic Y. C 
Saturday, Sept. 13. 
The fall regatta of the Atlantic Y. C. was held on the 
afternoon of Sept. 13 over courses in the lower bay. 
Counter attractions on Long Island Sound kept away 
all of the larger schooners and sloops, and consequently 
the racing was confined to classes J and under. Eclipse, 
Vivian, Bonito, Cockatoo, Trouble and Rascal carried 
off first honors. 
The day was full of exciting incidents and will be long 
remembered by Sea Gate Corinthians. A strong north- 
west wind came swooping down out of a threatening 
sky shortly after the start, and played havoc with the 
fleet, which had begun the race in a light southeasterly 
breeze with full sail set. Twenty-tAvo craft started the 
struggle. Twelve of these managed to finish. Of the 
other ten which failed to cover the courses, five were_ 
disabled and the rest withdrew. 
J. E. Biggs' class P sloop Corona, was dismasted just 
after rounding Southwest Spit buoy, the outer mark 
of the fourteen-mile journey for classes N and under. 
She was fairly on her course for home when a par- 
ticularly hard puff struck her, breaking the spar short 
off seven feet from the deck. No injuries resulted, and 
the flagship Thistle, which was in the vicinity, towed 
the disabled craft to harbor. 
Some few minutes after the start the class R boat. 
Pebble, belonging to R. W. Spier, lost her tiller, and 
her skipper was obliged to steer the craft to moorings 
by the aid of an oar. 
The class V catboat. Martha M., belonging to Richard 
Moore, broke eight feet from the outer end of her 
boom, and as. a result had a most tedious time making 
Gravesend Bay again. The 2i-footer, Bronco, owned 
by F. C. Moore, suffered an accident to her gaff and 
withdrew, while Song and Dance. E. F. Luckenbach, 
caused a great deal of anxiety by losing her center 
board and not making harbor until long after the other 
starters had finished. 
Opossum, R. P. Doremus; Gwendolen, H. G. S. 
Nobles; Streak, Speidel Brothers; Peanut, Calvert 
Brewer and Boozie, C. D. Durkee, preferred the secur- 
ity of a mooring to the' tempestuous times outside,^ and 
withdrew from the race as soon as the full force of the 
northwesterly squall struck them. 
The race was started promptly on scheduled tmic. The 
preparatory signal was shown at i o'clock and ten min- 
utes later the first of the boats began the contest. L T. 
Callanan's Eclipse and the class K boat Ondawa, be- 
longing to Henry J. Robert, sailed boat for boat m 
class J. Ondawa led by 40s. on the start. 
The special class M boats, Bonito, Sunol and Titama, 
the latter in her first local race of the year, got away 
on the next signal in the order named. , Bonito and 
Sunol had a little mix-up at the start, which is liable to 
result in a protest from the latter. 
At the next gun' Vivian and Gwendolen, the onlv 
entries in class N, sailed off, with Vivian in the lead. 
Class P got awav well bunched, Cockatoo first, followed 
bv Vagabond. Corona, Streak, Song and Dance and 
Elsie. Trouble led class Q boats and then came Bronco. 
Opossum and Flying Fish. In class R Peanut led Pebble 
over the line by 20s., and Martha M. headed the catboats 
with Rascal and Boozie crossing in the order named. 
Eclipse. Ondawa. Bonito, Titania and Sunol went out 
to the bell buoy off the point of Sandy Hook, leaving 
the Southwest Spit buov on the port hand, returning 
over the same course, a distance of 18 miles. The other 
starters had a journey four miles less, from the starting 
line off Sea Gate to the Spit and return. 
A light southeasterly breeze sent them away. The 
tide was running flood, and it would have been windward 
work to the first mark had not the wind changed into 
the northwest. 
For some minutes after the beginning of the struggle 
the yachts tacked back and forth in an endeavor to stem 
the fast running tide. Elipse. Ondawa and Titania 
stood over toward the Jersey shore and were the first 
to catch the wind and rain squall. When it came they 
had a reach for the mark and fairly flew through the 
water. Boats which had aimed to get to windward be- 
fore the breeze changed were now to leeward. 
The larger craft going out to the point of the Hook 
had a run from Southwest Spit, windward work back 
from the Hook to the Spit again and a close fetch home. 
Hendon Chubb's class P boat. Cockatoo, distinguished 
herself. She was the first craft of the fleet to finish, 
crossing the line iim. and 31s. ahead of T. A. Vernon's 
Vagabond, second boat to end the journey, and doing 
tt^«: 14 niiles in ? hour§ and 29 minutes, I^ouis May had 
charge of the craft a"d she was handled to perfection. 
W. H. Ch;!d's Trouble, with C. D. Mower at the 
tiller, carried off second glory. She was not only a fine 
winner in class Q, but was third craft to end the jou-- 
ney, only one minute behind her larger rival Vagabond, 
on elapsed time. Vagabond was formerly Mongoose I., 
a well-known Crowninshield raceabout. 
Special class M boats put up the only exciting finish 
of the day. Bonito led, while Titania and Sunol had it 
nip and tuck for second place, the former finally win- 
ning out. Cockatoo beat Vagabond iim. and 31s., 
Trouble led Flying Fish 4m. and 38s., and Eclipse de- 
feated her smaller rival, Ondawa, which had gone up a 
class, by lom. and 41s. for the 18-mile course. 
Bonito led Titania by 5m. and 48s. and Sunol by 6m. 
and 44s. Vivian and Rascal had no competitors in their 
respective classes after the first stages of the contest.

Saturday, Sept. 13. 
The closing race of the Beverly Y. C. was sailed off 
Wing's Neck on Saturday. Sept. 13, in a screeching south- 
easter. All of the 30-footers, with the exception of Mash- 
nee, carried three reefs, while Mashnee was double reefed. 
I'his extra sail helped Mashnee, and she won by nearly a 
m.inute. Zingara was doing good work when her mast 
carried away. It was Barnacle's day in the 21-footers, 
and she won handily. Krieker in the fourth class cats got 
mixed up at the start, but afterward caught Allison II. 
and won handily. Vim won a close race in the 15-footers.
