Percentages. 
The racing season of the Yacht Racing Association of 
Massachusetts closed with the annual rendezvous and 
marine parade on Sunda}*, Sept. 7. Secretary A .T. Bliss 
has issued a table of percentages, which he has compiled 
from neyi'spaper reports. There are protests to be de- 
cided bj' the Executive Committee of the Association, 
which may affect the standing of the yachts, but a general 
idea of the r work may be obtained from the table. Thor- 
dis, which leads the 25ft. open class, did not sail the 
i.iecessary number of races to qualify for the champion- 
ship, but would undoubtedly have done so had her 
class been provided for. Calypso, a Hanley creation, wins 
the championship in the restr cted 25-footers for the 
second season. The work in this class has been very 
close thrrughout the year, and it was not until the very 
close of the season that the winner Avas assured. In 21- 
footers Little Haste, which has won a majority of races 
in club and open events, gets the championship. Rooster 
II. is a close second. If Rooster's total percentage were 
divided by the actual number of starts, she would get 
ihe championship, but in figuring the percentages it is 
iissumed that a yacht shall have started in half as many- 
races as any other boat in her class. Tttnipoo, the only 
raceabout to sail the necessary number of races to qualify 
in her class, gets the champ onship. Malillian, a Crown- 
inshield boat, gets the championship in the i8ft. knock- 
about class, with the highest percentage of any Asso- 
'tiation boat. In the i8ft. class Lobster gets the cham- 
pionship with just the number of races to qualify. De- 
cisions on the following protests by the Executive Com- 
mittee may change the results : Little Haste vs. Chloris 
in race of Aug. 4; Chloris vs. Little Haste, in race of 
Au.g. 19; Lobster vs. Wawenock, in race of Aug. 4; 
Calypso vs. Sally VI., in race of Sept. 3; Question vs. 
Miladi, in race of Aug. 21 ; Seboomook vs. Calypso, in 
race of Aug. 29. The table of percentages is as follows :

Larchmont Y. C, 
LARCHMONT, LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, Sept. 13. 
The Larchmont Y. C. gave its final race of this sea- 
son on Saturday, Sept. 13. The twenty-one boats that 
.started experienced all kinds of weather, including a 
vic'ous squall, yet all but one finished. 
The preparatory signal was g ven at 11.30, and at that 
time there was but little air from the west by north. 
The tide was running strong to the east. The course 
.signalled for the 70-{ooters, the "sixties" and the schoon- 
ers was south southeast three miles, northeast, five- 
eighths east, six miles ; west, three-quarters south, six 
miles. This was sailed twice over, making thirty miles in 
all. 
The 5r-footers and the .special class made up of Ef- 
fort and Marguerite, covered an eleven-m le triangle 
Iw-ce, while the raceabouts and the Larchmont 21-foot- 
crs sailed twice over a five and a half-mile triangle. 
At 11.30 the preparatory was given and five minutes 
later the' 70-footers were sent away. Rainbow was first 
over the line with Yankee a few seconds beh.nd on her 
weather. Both boats carried reaching j.b topsails and 
Yankee set a balloon for staysail. Rainbow drew clear 
of Yankee soon after the s.art, and it was not long be- 
fore she was well ahead. Soon after rounding the first 
niark the wind hauled to the south, reaching Yankee 
first, a. id she caught and passed Ra nbow. When on 
the last leg of the first round the wind freshened consid- 
erably, and Yankee continued to outfoot Rainbow, and 
at the end of the first round Yankee led by 3m. 49s. The 
i;hange in the wind made every leg of the second round 
a reach. When near the Hempstead mark the squall 
that had been making up in the northwest, broke and 
made matters lively. The 70-footers hung on to all sail. 
Rainbow was splendidly handled on the last two legs of 
the course, and cttt down Yankee's lead materially, but 
was not able to overtake her. Yankee won by 2m. 7s. 
The schooners started at 11.40 with Elmina in the 
lead. Both boats carried reaching jib topsails and main- 
top .staysails. The boats h&d but little wind and they 
were bc'ng moved slowly by the ebb tide. Elmina in- 
creased her lead until the boats were off Matinicock 
Point, when the breeze freshened and Muriel ran up 
on her rival. Elmina drew into the lead again. The 
boats had a reach across the Sound to the home mark, 
but when nearly there the wind headed them and a short 
tack was necessary to make the mark. On the second 
round the squall hit the schooners. It blew hard for a 
t:me and picked up a lump of a sea. They clewed up 
their fore topsails, and after considerable difficulty Muriel 
managed to get her club topsail on deck, and she was 
better off without it. Elmina won the $500 cup for 
schooners by 3m. 48s. 
At 11.4s the "sixties" started, both crossed together 
with Neola to windward. A luffing match took place 
soon after they crossed, and Neola got rather the best 
of it. Weetamoe caught and passed Neola just before 
they reached the second mark. At the end of the first 
round Weetamoe was im. Sos. ahead of Neola. On the 
second round Neola cut down Weetamoe's lead consid- 
erably, but the latter boat won by 27s. These boats again 
saved'their time on the 70-footers and would have beaten 
them on corrected time. 
At 11.50 Marguerite, Effort, Altair and Humma started 
in the order named. Altair again surprised all interested 
by defeating Humma by 2m. 6s. At the end of the first 
round Altair was almost 4m. ahead; on the second round 
Humma did better and cut down Altair's lead consider- 
ably. 
Effort and Marguerite were without competitors, and 
a special class was made up for them, Effort g-ving the 
smaller boat a large time allowance. She was unable to 
save her time and Marguerite won by over 15m. 
Three of the Larchmont 2i-footers started, and Houri 
gave Dorothy a very bad beating. Adelaide, the third 
boat in this class, was the only starter that did not fin- 
ish. 
Some good racing was seen in the raceabout class. 
Hobo, the American Y. C. boat, again showed her heels 
to her competitors and beat Whistlewing, the second 
boat, 2m. S5s.

Saturday, Sept. 13. 
The annual open regatta of the Hempstead Bay Y. C. 
was held on Saturday, Sept. 13. Sixteen boats belonging 
to members of the Hempstead Bay and Unqua yacht 
clubs competed. The boats covered a twelve-m le tri- 
angular course, and all but four finished. At the time 
of the start there was but little air stirring, but soon 
after the boats were sent away more wind came up and 
the boats finished in a northwest squall that was accom- 
panied by heavy rain. The summary follows:

On Tuesday it blew half a gale from the southwest, and 
seven of the 30-footers started in what proved to be a 
very exciting race. A triangular course was laid out 
and the boats covered it twice. Breeze was put over 
the starting line -"n the best berth, but she was unable to 
hold this advantage, for she was soon passed by Carolina, 
which won by nearly a minute. Carolina is now well in
