ANNUAL OPEN, CITY POINT, 
Saturday, July 4. 
The annual open race o£ the City of Boston, sailed 
off City Point, on Saturday, July 4, was one of the 
most successtul in many years. There were in all 43 
starters, all but 3 of which finished. At the start there 
was a light breeze, east-northeast, which hauled to east- 
southeast and became stronger. For the most part the 
yachts racing were old-timers that have been out- 
built by the new i-acers of the M. Y. R. A., and they 
made good racing all around. A new feature was the 
introduction of classes for power boats, sailed under 
the rules of the American Power Boat Association. 
There were a number of entries in these classes, and 
rare sport was furnished. The sailing classes raced 
under the rules of the Boston Bay Yacht Racing Asso- 
ciation. 
In the first class were the 2S-footer Calypso and the 
30-footer Elfreda. Calypso got the best of the start, 
and in the first few tacks wa3 placed where she could 
backwind Elfreda every time. They had a close race 
all over the course. Calypso winning out by 50s. In the 
second class Ida J. and Owaissa were out ahead at the 
start, with the rest of the class bunched. Thordis pulled 
up through the bunch on the windward leg, and came 
home an easy winner, beating the time of the leader in 
the first class. The shift and increase of the wind were 
largely responsible for this. Cleopatra was over the 
line first at the start of the third class, but in the 
light air Wawenock walked out ahead and won easily. 
In the Dorchester Y. C. one-design dories, Vera got 
the start and led all over the course. In the sailing 
tender class the Stickney boat got away first and was 
never headed. 
There were three starters in the cabin power boat 
class. Dorothy got the start and held it to the finish. 
Hester, a steam launch, withdrew, and Wide Awake 
took second place. In the open power boat class there 
was a great start, the little boats going over the line 
well bunched, churning the water up after them. Dan 
D. was nicely timed and went over the line with the 
whistle and led over the course, although Vivace kept 
her hustling all the time. The ratings of the power 
boats have not yet been figured out, and there is likely 
to be changes in the corrected times. The summary:

OCEAN RACE FOR SCHOONERS, 
July 4 to 5. 
The second ocean race for schooners under the auspices 
of the Atlantic Y. C. was a disappointment. An early effort 
was made to get entries, but only three boats came to the 
line, all owners seeming unwilling to enter a long event 
starting on the holiday. 
The race, which was to Fire Island Lightship and re- 
turn, was won by Edward R. Coleman's Hildegarde. 
Commodore Robert E. Tod's flagship Thistle was obliged 
to withdraw because her owner had made an unbreakable 
engagement to dine Sir Thomas Lipton at the Sea Gate 
club house in the evening. J. G. N. Whittaker's Iroquois 
ran aground on Roamer shoal and put back to the anchor- 
age off Sea Gate as soon as free. 
The 86 mile course lay from the start oft" Sea Gate 
S. S. W. 3% miles to the bell buoy at the entrance of 
Swash Channel, 2% miles S. E. by to the Red Buoy, i 
mile S. E. by S. 14 S. to buoy No. 2, then 361^2 miles 
E. by S. to Fire Island Lightship. The return journey 
was the same with compass bearings reversed. 
The race was started a bit after 6 o'clock A. M. in a 
four knot breeze E. N. E., which gave the boats a reach 
to the Swash Channel bell buoy. The preparatory signal 
was fired at 6 o'clock. Fifteen minutes later the starting 
gun was sounded. The yachts had five minutes to get 
over the line before the handicap gun. Hildegarde went 
over 35 seconds after the handicap signal, and Iroquois i 
minute and 22 seconds after. Thistle crossed within the 
time. 
From 9 o'clock to i o'clock the breeze fell to almost a 
flat calm. It strengthened slightly soon afterward and 
allowed Hildegarde to lay her course to Fite Island 
Lightship some 26 miles away. She was leading Thistle 
and Iroquois by three miles when the former withdrew 
and the latter ran aground. 
Hildegarde rounded the lightship some time about mid- 
night. She did the whole course of 86 miles in 21 hours 
gm. 2SS. actual time. The next ocean race of the Atlantic 
Y. C. will be held at the end of the New York Y. C. 
cruise. The event is open and a good entry is expected. 
The boats start from Brenton's Reef Lightship on the 
morning of Monday, July 27, and proceed to Nantucket 
Shoal Lightship and from Ihere home to Sea Gate, a dis- 
tance of 297 nautical miles. The summaries of the ocean 
race July 4 to 5 follow :

Eastetn Y* C» 
MARBLEHEAD, MASS., 
Saturday, July 4. 
In a good, wholesail southerly breeze, with a lively 
little chop, there was good sport in the special open race of 
the Eastern Y. C. on Saturday, July 4. In the 25ft. 
class Great Haste got the best of the start, but was 
crossed soon after by Sally VII. and Chewink III. On 
the way oiit to the windward mark Sally led Chewink 
III. Chewink III. carried away her peak halliards and 
was forced to withdraw. Great Haste, by keeping to 
the shore, got the better of Sally VII. and turned the 
windward mark first. On the spinnaker run Sally VII. 
closed up on Great Haste and turned the second mark 
in the lead, which she kept to the finish. In the 22ft. 
class Urchin got the best of the start, while Medric and 
Opitsah V. were in the middle of the bunch. On the 
beat to windward Medric pulled out ahead and held 
the lead to the finish. In the 21ft. class Rooster I had 
things all her own way. There were 18 starters in the 
iSft. knockabout class, and all crossed the starting line 
within a minute and a half of the whistle. On the wind- 
ward leg Domino got the lead and held it to the fin- 
ish. The summary:

Shelter Island Y* C 
SHELTER ISLAND, L. I., 
Saturday, July 4. 
The yachting season of the Shelter Island Y. C. was 
opened on the afternoon of July 4 with events for classes 
N and R. There was a light wind blowing W. by S. 
which drove the boats over the courses in fair time. 
In class N, George Trowbridge HoUister's Kalmia won 
from Otto E. Lohrke's Senta by im. 30s. corrected time. 
For competition in class N this year two cups have been 
offered, one by Mr. HoUister to be contested for on the 
point system. The number of victories will determine the 
winner of the club trophy. The system in use at the 
Shelter Island Y. C. gives a boat i point for entermg 
and finishing a race and i additional point for every craft 
she defeats. 
Six craft started in class R. The race was won by the 
Iris, a new creation built this winter for Gustave Piel, of 
Manhattan. Theodore Brigham, designer of the one- 
design class R boats, sailed her. Iris led her nearest 
competitor, Psi, by 22 seconds. 
Three cups have been offered for competition m class 
R. John W. Webber offers one open to all craft on the 
point system. A cup given by Dr. G. W. Little is to be 
sailed for on the same basis, competition, however, being 
open to one-design boats only. This shuts out Arrow in 
the first race. Commodore James Weir, Jr., offers a tro- 
phy to be won by the class R boat securing the greatest 
number of victories. The summaries follow:

Cotmthian Y* C. 
MARBLEHEAD, MASS., 
Saturday, July 4. 
The Fourth of July invitation race of the Corinthian 
Y. C. was spoiled by nearly all of the yachts starting 
.sailing over the wrong course, through mistaking turn- 
ing marks. All of the 25-footers sailed the wrong 
course. Opitsah V. was the only 22-footer to sail the 
right course. Six boats sailed over the right course 
in the 18-foot class, the Question getting first place 
after a good race. Thistle was the only raceabout to 
sail the right course. This was the case with Narcissus 
in class A, handicap, and Carmen in class B, handicap.

buzzard's bay, MASS., 
Saturday, July 4. 
The Corinthian race of the Beverly Y. C. was sailed 
in Buzzards Bay on Saturday, in a light, fickle, north- 
east breeze. On the spinnaker run down the bay the 
30-footers were all bunched. On the beat home Young 
Miss and Mashnee came out of the bunch and sailed a 
close race to the finish. Young Miss winning by 153. 
The light wind suited the Herreshoff 21-footer Terra- 
pin, and she led her class nearly all the way. Krieker 
won handily in the fourth class cats, but was protested 
by Hod for fouling a mark. In the is-footers Spider 
was again a winner. The summary:
