Atlantic Y. C. Race Week. 
SEA GATE, L. I., 
Wednesdaj', August 12. 
Race week at the Atlantic Y. C. began on the afternoon 
of Wednesday, August 12. It was arranged in place of 
the annual cruise of the Sea Gate organization which was 
called off this year because of the difficulty of finding 
dates which would not conflict with other important 
yachting events. 
Mr. Hendon Chubb, of the Atlantic Y. C, offered a cup 
to go to the winner of the series of the first three days 
racing in class P. The club offered similar series trophies 
in the other classes. The usual winners' prizes in each 
race were also given. 
The competition on Wednesday was for classes J and 
under. Nineteen boats started, all but one of which fin- 
ished. The winners were Bobtail, Vagabond, Trouble, 
Scalawag, and Rascal. Effort scored a sailover. Boats 
in classes M and above twice covered a triangular course 
of seven miles. The other starters went twice over the 
usual inside quadrangle course, a total distance of seven 
miles. A good breeze from the N. W. held throughout the 
contest, making excellent sport. The summary;

Thursday, August 13. 
On Thursday the sport included, besides races for th'e 
usual classes, events for power boats held under the racing 
and rating rules of the American Power Boat Association. 
Eighteen craft started in the struggle for sail boats, all 
but three of which finished. The winners were Effort, 
Bobtail, Vagabond, Trouble, Sandpiper, and Rascal. A 
good breeze blew from the W., which strengthened to- 
ward the end. 
In order to make a race for Effort, Mira started on 
regular time allowance. She was handled by Mr. Edward 
McLellan. Charles T. Piece sailed Effort as on the first 
day. The same courses were covered as in the initial 
regatta. Coming home on the second round of the outer 
course, the 30-footer Bagheera was forced aground on 
Swinburn Island by the. swell of a passing Sandy Hook 
steamer. The mishap robbed her of all chances of win- 
ning. She was later pulled off, apparently undamaged, 
by Mr. Edward Luckenbach's steam yacht Papoose. The 
summary :

The power boats were sent away soon after the sailing 
craft. It was the fourth regatta to be held under the 
rules of the Association this year. Ten starters came to 
the line. The winners were Allure, Queen Bess, Express, 
and Corona. Standard got a sailover. 
The best work of the day was done by Express, owned 
and designed by Mr. Charles D. Mower, measurer of the 
New York Y. C, which did the twelve-mile course in 
ih. 8m. 27s., including the turns necessary in covering a 
four-mile triangular course three times, as classes I and 
above were called upon to do. The other starters went 
twice over the triangle. The summary:

Friday, August 14. 
Thirteen boats started in the event on Fridaj-. All fin- 
ished. The winners were Mira and Vagabond (on time 
allowance), Bobtail, Trouble, and Sandpiper. It was the 
last race of three for the series prizes in each class. Vic- 
tories of the week gave Vagabond the cup offered by Mr. 
Hendon Chubb for the winner of the sene-s ni class P. 
Other series prizes given by the Atlantic Y. C. went tu 
Effort, Bobtail, Trouble, and Sandpiper. 
JXffort find Mira, now chartered to Mr, Theodore H. 
Church, raced on double the usual time allowance by the 
old rule. Mr. F. M. Smith sailed Effort and Mr. Edward 
McLellan handled Mira. Effort finished 2m. 32s. ahead 
of Mira, not a large enough margin to win out. 
The breeze hovered between W. and S., and was never 
stronger than seven knots. The usual courses were sailed. 
In the whole series boats received time allowance accord- 
ing to the A. Y. C. rule, regardless of the date of their 
launching. Corrected times, however, were figured out 
only when victory was in doubt. The summary:

Sewell Cup Race. 
BARNEGAT BAY, N. J., 
Saturday, Aug. 8. 
The annual race for the Sewell Cup was sailed on 
Barnegat Bay on Saturday, Aug. 8. 
The cup was offered originally by the 'late United 
States Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, for perpetual 
competition by the clubs along the bay. The first race 
for the cup was sailed in 1900, when the trophy was 
won by the Island Heights Y. C. cat Bouquet. In 
1901 it was captured by the Mina, also an Island 
Heights Y. C. cat. In 1902 it was retaken by the Bou- 
quet, which in the time being had been purchased by 
a member of the Seaside Park Y. C. 
In 1902 Messrs. Walter and O. K. Stevenson, of 
Philadelphia, members of the Seaside Park Y. C, had 
the catboat Empress built from designs by Mr. C. D. 
Mower. She measures 30ft. 6in. over all, her length 
on the waterline is only 15ft. 3in. 
Empress did not show up very well in the races last 
3'ear, so Mr. Mower, the boat's designer, went on to 
sail the boat himself. 
The boats were to cover an eleven-mile course twice. 
The wind was fresh from the S. E., making it a broad 
reach to the outer mark and a close reach back to the 
finish line. 
Empress crossed the starting line just after the gun 
and led the boats all over the course, finishing an 
easy winner. The summary:

LARCHMONT, LONG ISLAND SOUND, 
Saturday, Aug. 15. 
The fourteenth annual regatta of the Horseshoe Llar- 
bor Y. C. was sailed on Saturday, Aug. 15. The event 
was marked by a good list of entries, sixty boats start- 
ing and all but six finished. 
The boats started in a light S. breeze, but later it 
shifted to the S. W. and freshened. Most all the boats 
covered a nine-mile triangular course. Several boats 
were disqualified — -some for sailing a wrong course 
and others for going inside the buoys on Hen and 
Chickens. 
The Regatta Committee, made up of Messrs. E. C. 
Griffin, Butler Whiting and Willard Fisher, were on 
board Mr. Mayhew Bronson's auxiliary yawl Trochil- 
ius. 
Snapper and Spinster were protested by Mr. E. A. 
Stevens, owner of Chingachcook for not complying 
with the scantling restrictions of the Yacht Racing 
Association of Long Island Sound. 
Alert and Mimosa, the only starters in tiie 30ft. class, 
were sent away at 11:35. Mimosa sailed a good race 
and beat Alert, the champion of the class, by 4m. 4s. 
In the 25ft. sloop class, there were six starters. 
Priestess was disqualified and Naiad did not finish. 
Snapper was the first boat to finish and spinster was 
second. Until the protest on scantling in this class is 
settled, the winners cannot be given out. 
Jeeri withdrew in the 21ft. sloop class, and Montauk 
beat Gazabo about 40m. Cricket did not finish in the 
i8ft. sloop class, so the race goes to Pandora, the only 
other starter. Jag gets the race in the 2lft. catboat 
class, Arline and Dorothy were disqualified. Lobster 
took a walkover in the i8ft. catboat class. Sneaker 
won in the 15ft. catboat class, as Champion did not 
finish. 
In the New York Y. C. one-design class, Hope 
gave Lively a bad beating. 
There were nine starters in the raceabout class. 
Maryola won and Jolly Tar was second.
