The Association race of Sept. 20 did not count for points on se ies prizes. 
seeing to it that no one remains inside. In squally 
weather never have any one in the cabin when the sails 
are up. There have been too many instances where peo- 
ple have been drowned in cab.ns Avho otherwise might 
have been saved." 
Yacht Racing: Association of Gtaveicnd Bay, 
Sea.sou of 1902. 
The Yacht Racing Association of Gravesend Bay ended 
its second season with the regatta given under the im- 
m.ediate auspices of the Association itself off the Atlantic 
Y. C. on Sept. 20. This event brought to a close the 
ser.e.; of nine races. The first eight counted for points on 
the series prizes for the year, while the last was for special 
trophies offered by the Association. 
The healthy growth of the Association has been marked. 
Nearly twice as many craft have competed as in the 
initial year, events have been closely contested, and the 
whole campaign has well illustrated the possibil.ties of 
racing on Gravesend Bay. , 
Classes P and Q have been the star divisions. Not be- 
cause of closer finishes, but because of the consistent entry 
in each of the regattas. 
The class winners of the series prizes on points for the 
first eight races were Sunol, Vivian, Caribou, Cockatoo, 
Trouble, Kelp e and Martha M. Those capturing second 
prizes, two-thirds the value of firsts, were Bonito, Squaw, 
Song and Dance. Bronco, Stinger and Rascal. 
The winners in the Association race of Sept. 20. for 
special prizes, were Sunol, Squaw, Cockatoo, Bronco Peb- 
ble, Jig-a-Jig and Boozie. Second prizes went to Bonito, 
Vagabond, Flying Fish, Kelp e and R^i^cal. 
Eighteen newcomers entered the contests of the year, 
six of which brought with them creditable records from 
other waters. Caribou Cockatoo, S; ng and Dance, Kelpie 
and Stinger competed in every contest. Sunol, Bon. to, 
Trouble, Bronco. Wraith, Quinque, Martha M. and Ras- 
cal have started in all but the Brooklyn Y. C. regatta of 
June 21, in which, because of the threaten ng weather con- 
ditions, only the five first mentioned craft competed. 
Throwing out the record of this contest, one-third of the 
entire fleet competed in the eight races held under favor- 
able conditions. 
Thirty-nine different craft competed in the nine races 
of the year. Two hundred and five starters of all classes 
entered" the races, wh ch makes an average of twenty-three 
boats to each event. Twelve of the craft have flown the 
flag of the Atlantic Y. C, twelve that of the Brooklyn 
Y. C, eight the burgee of the New York C. C, while 
seven were enrolled in the Marine and Field Club. 
The outlook for the season of 1903 is especially bright. 
New additions to all of the classes are assured, and 
Gravesend Bay Corinthians expect better competition than 
ever before. The official records of the year are appended.

We fancy "the Daddy of Them. All" was not in the competition 
to which the clipping takea from the Daj'.ton Herald of Oct. 18 
refers: "Bellbrook clay -bird shooters gave a turkey shoot last 
Wednesday, and a few of the Dayton crack shots went down os- 
tensibly to bring home a few gobblers for Thanksgiving roasts. 
They are now getting the roasts, but the turkeys are not in evi- 
dence. One good-natured visitor declared that he broke 10 
straight, tied up with several farmers, shot off the tie and lost. 
He did the same thing in several events. One old farmer, shooting 
a repeater, furnished a number of birds at so much per, then turned 
around and won them all back again. When the Daytonians came 
home a purse was made up, and each was presented with a chicken 
as a testimonial from the Bellbrook Club.'
