Aspirant, the cutter built by Mr. B. F. Wood at City 
Island from designs by Messrs. Gardner & Cox for 
Messrs. Addison G. and H. Wilmer Hanan, will be 
launched on Tuesday evening, June 30. The yacht is well 
built, and a better piece of construction has never been 
turned out by any American yard. Mr. Wood acknow- 
l.'dged that he had given more attention to the building 
of Aspirant than any boat he had ever produced. She 
is double planked, cedar inside and an outer skin of 
mahogany. All the frames amidships are of bronze. 
Aspirant is 6sft. over all, 42ft. waterline, 12ft. 6in. breadth 
and 9ft. draft. She will sail her first race at Larchmont 
on July 4, and will meet Effort, Mimosa II. and Chal- 
lenge.

Eight yachts started in the race from Dover to Helgo- 
land (a distance of three hundred and twenty miles) for 
the Emperor William cup. The boats made slow time 
over the course owing to head winds. The race was won 
by the yawl Fiona, owned by the Marquis of Camden.

The New York Y. C.'s book for 1903 has been . dis-

the best book the club has ever gotten out.

Yachting has made great progress in Canada during the 
last few years. The Royal Kennebeccasis Y. C, of St. 
John, N. B., organized a few years ago, has now a mem- 
bership of 300, and a large fleet of small yachts and power 
craft. A new club was recently organized on the Mira- 
michi, the Chatham Y. C, with J. L. Stewart as comtno- 
dore; W. H. Tapper vice-commodore; E. B. Wyse, rear- 
comrnodore, and T. M. Gaynor, secretary-treasurer. Its 
fleet is small, but the veteran yachtsman at its head will, 
no doubt, make it a success.

BENSONHURST, GRAVESEND BAY, ■ 
Saturday, June 27. 
The third regatta of the Yacht Racing Association of 
Gravesend Bay held on the afternoon of Saturday, June 
27, was by far the best given this year. An 8 knot breeze 
held steadily throughout the contest, making good times 
possible. The winners were Bonito, Squaw, Ogeemah, 
Spots and Jig-a-Jig. Pickininny scored a sail over. 
In the catboat class Rascal finished ahead of Martha 
M. The latter, however, would have won the event on 
time allowance had not Rascal protested her for fouling 
at one of the turning buoys. The winner cannot be de- 
termined until the protest is acted upon. 
The courses were sailed in reverse order, leaving all 
marks on the port hand. Boats outside had windward 
work to Craven Shoal Bell buoy, one or two close hauled 
boards to Red Can Buoy No. 2 oft' Coney Island Point 
and a reach home to the start off Ulmer Park. The other 
starters had a broad reach to the Marine and Field Club 
mark, a close reach to the buoy oft' Fort Hamilton, wind- 
ward work to the stake boat off Sea Gate and a reach 
home. Both courses were covered twice. 
Competition among the boats going the outside course, 
those above class J, was better than usual, the contestants 
keeping much nearer together. • Ogeemah and Spots did 
cppecially well among the smaller craft. 
At the finish Bonito had beaten Kangaroo 4m. l8s. 
Squaw beat Indian 7m. 5s. ; Ogeemah beat Karma 3m. 
33s.; "Vagabond, 8m. S5s. ; Spots beat Wraith im. 19s.; 
Rascal finished im. ss. ahead of Martha M., 4m. 57s. 
ahead of Boozie. Jig-a-Jig beat Esperance im. 20s., Kel- 
pie 3m. 4s., "Vixen 4m. I2s., Quinque 6m. 30s., Stinger 
ism. 45s.
