FOREST AND STREAM, 
Atlantic Y. C. 
SEA GATE, L. I., 
Monday, September 7. 
The Atlantic Y. C. held a regatta on the afternoon of 
Labor Day, September 7. Twenty-four boats of all 
classes started, all but two of which finished. The win- 
ners were Bagheera, Cockatoo, Trouble, Opossum and 
Martha M. 
Nearly all of the classes filled well and competition in 
each was spirited. Class N. went once over a course with 
turning marks at Craven Shoal' Buoy and West Bank 
Light. The start was off Sea Gate. A light but steady 
breeze from the south gave them windward work to the 
first mark, a close reach to tlie second, and a broad reach 
home. 
The other starters twice covered fhe regular mside 
courses. They had a close reach to Fort Hamilton Buoy, 
a spinnaker run to the Marine and Field Club mark, a reach 
to the white buoy off Ulmer Park, and another reach to 
the start and finish off Sea Gate. The two class P boats, 
Ogeemah and Smoke, entered protests against each other 
for crowding at one of the marks. A meeting of inter- 
ested parties was held on Saturday, September 12. The 
protest was decided in favor of Ogeemah. Smoke was 
disqualified. The summary:

Scawanhafca-Cofinthian Y. C. 
OYSTER BAY, LONG ISLAND SOUND, 
' Thursday, September lo. 
The first of the three days' racing given by the Sea- 
wanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. was held on Thursday, Sep- 
tember 10. There were nine starters in the raceabout 
class and six starters in the 15ft. class. A good sailing 
breeze from the S. held throughout the contest. The 
course was from the starting line N. N. W. two miles to 
and around a mark boat, thence E. N. two and one- 
quarter miles to and around a mark boat, thence S. W. by 
S. two and one-half miles back to the starting line, a 
distance of six and three-quarter knots. The raceabouts 
sailed over this course twice, while the 15-footers went 
around but once. The first leg was a run, the second a 
reach, and the third a beat. 
In the raceabout class Rascal and Jolly Roger fought 
it out' from start to finish, and the former won out by 
SI seconds. Cayenne had an easy time beating the other 
boats in the 15ft. class, and she finished with minutes to 
spare. She beat Bobs, the second boat, 2m. 27s. The 
summary:

Friday, September 11. 
Fifteen boats started in the second of the three days' 
racing at Oyster Bay. All the boats were manned by 
amateurs. The breeze was light from the N. W., but 
shifted somewhat when the boats were on the second 
round. The course was the sarne as was sailed in 
Thursday's race. In the first division of the raceabout 
class there were two starters, Hobo and Maryola. The 
former won out by over a minute. Rascal and Jolly Tar 
were the only starters in the second division of the race- 
about class. Jolly Tar was beaten by less than a minute. 
There were four starters in the general class of race- 
abouts. Galatea, Mr. Anson Phelps Stokes' new boat, 
made her second start, and showed up to better advant- 
age than she did in Thursday's race, when she was hope- 
.lessly beaten. NathaUe and Mavis put up a good race and 
Nathalie won. 
In the first division of the 15ft. class Sabrina scored an 
(easy victory over Cayenne. In the general division of the 
jiSft. class five boats started. Bobs won and had an easy 
lime defeating the other boats. The summary follows:

Manhasset Bay Y« C. 
FALL REGATTAj 
Saturday, September 12. 
The fall regatta of the Manhasset Bay Y. C. was sailed 
on Saturday, September 12, over that club's outside 
course from the northeast Execution Buoy, thence to 
Parsonage Point, thence to Red Spring Point and back 
to the starting line, all classes, 36ft. and above, going over 
the course tw^ice, and the smaller boats once. 
Owing to the very unsatisfactory racitig had this 
season, to insure a reasonably good entry list, the date 
of these races was advanced one week by arrangement 
with the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y. C, and even at this 
but twenty-three entries qualified at the starting line. 
The 30ft. class and raceabouts were not scheduled, _ as 
these classes were to race at the Seawanhaka-Corinthian 
Y. C. 
As the 6sft. and 43ft. classes did not fill, a race was 
arranged between the Neola and Effort on time allowance, 
while a match was also made between the one-design 
Purdon boats, Umbrina and Rondinella. 
The race was started at one o'clock in a light N. _E. 
wind, Neola and Effort, by agreement, carrying working 
topsails. Effort got the best of the start and held the 
adviintage almost to the finish of the first round, when, 
with both boats almost at the mark, she worked up on 
Neola and managed to squeeze in between her and the 
stake boat. On the second round the breeze freshened, 
with the result that Neola, while finishing considerably 
ahead of Effort, could not save her time. The cruisers 
LTmbrina and Rondinella were started at three o'clock, 
and went over the line with Umbrina slightly in the lead, 
which position she held throughout the race. It is to be 
regretted that a stronger breeze was not had, in order 
that these boats could have had a better opportunity to 
show their quality. 
In the 25ft. class, the Chingachook, for some reason, 
did not reach the line in time for the start of her class, 
as a result of which the owner of Firefly showed the 
sportsmanlike material in his make up by waiting twenty 
minutes for his competitor, and then, as he deserved, 
won out by a little over a minute. 
In the 36ft. class. Spasm led the way over the course 
for most of the distance, but eventually was beaten by 
Anoatok, Leda being a tailender from start to finish. In 
the 21 ft. class, Montauk won out over Gazabo, these two 
being the otily boats in the class. 
The. winners in the various classes were Effort, Anoa- 
tok, Umbrina, Firefly, Houri, Caper, Arizona, Montauk, 
,Flim Flam, and Wriggle, the following being the official 
record of the races.

Atlantic Y. C. Ocean Race* 
September 7 to 13. 
524 MILES. 
One of the longest ocean races ever held on this side 
of the water was started at 12 130 P. M. Labor Day, Sep- 
tember 7, under the auspices of the Atlantic Y. C. The 
journey led from the start off Scotland Lightship to Nan- 
tucket Shoal Lightship, thence to Northeast End Light- 
ship off Cape May and back to the finish at the point 
where the event was started. 
Six able schooners entered. Morton F. Plant's Her- 
reshoff creation, Ingomar, won, finishing on Thursday, 
over 21 hours ahead of Hildegarde, owned by Ed. R. 
Coleman, wdiich ended the journey Saturday. George 
Lauder's Endymion^ and J. G. N. Whittaker's Iroquois 
finished on Sunday in the order named. Dr. L. M. Stim- 
son's Fleur de Lys was reported in tow from Northeast 
End Lightship. Commodore Robert E. Tod's Thistle 
withdrew" from the contest on Tuesday. 
The boats had baffling conditions of wind and wave 
which made the race a hard one, and each contender de- 
serves great credit for persevering in the event. Until 
reports from each boat are made it will be impossible 
to give official figures. A full account of the race will 
appear in the next issue of Forest and Stream.

A cable report from England gives notice of the death 
of Mr. Arthur E. Payne, of the firm of Messrs. Summers 
& Pajme, Southampton, England. Mr. Payne was one of 
the best known and most successful designers of yachts 
in Great Britain. During his career he turned out some 
two hundred yachts, the largest of which was Glory, a 
205 ton yawl. Mr. Payne's boats are well known to 
American and Canadian yachtsmen. The Canada cup 
boats. Beaver, Invader, and Strathcona, were all from his 
board. Summers & Payne's yard at Southampton is a 
large one, and many famous yachts have been built there.

Reliance has been hauled out at Jacob's Yard, City 
Island, where she will occupy winter quarters. Before 
hauling, her mast and spars were removed and her sails 
and other gear were stowed in the storehouses. Piles are 
being driven in order to make a foundation for Reliance 
that will not settle. Columbia has been hauled out at 
Hawkins' Yard, and Constitution will occupy a berth at 
New London. 
Yachtsmen in the vicinity of Patchogue, Long Island, 
held a meeting on Thursday, September 3, for the purpose 
of organizing a yacht club. The idea met with general 
approval, and thirty men signified their intention of join-

Captain Robert Wringe has decided to make his home 
in the United States, and is to become a citizen. Captain 
Wringe, who is one of the ablest skippers in England, 
has had considerable experience in American waters, and 
he will have no difficulty in getting a berth in one of 
our best boats next season. He came out here in 1899 
on the first Shamrock, and the year following he sailed 
the 70-footer Mineola. In 1901 he was in the first Sham- 
rock. When the big Fife schooner Cicely came out last 
year he was put in charge and she had a very success- 
ful season. Captain Wringe is a very capable racing 
skipper, and even though his handling of Shamrock III. 
in the recent races against Reliance has been criticised," 
there are few men his equal. 
•I *5 
Shamrock I. and Shamrock III. are both to be hauled 
out at Erie Basin, South Brooklyn, where they will have 
berths close by Shamrock II. Sir Thomas Lipton decided 
not to take the boats back to England, but to keep them 
here and dispose of them if possible. Shamrock II. is to 
be sold for junk and broken up, as chemical action has 
caused her plating to rust and corrode. The big tug 
Cruizer left New York_ for the Clyde a few days ao-o. 
The steam yacht Erin is the only one of Sir Thomas' 
fleet left in commission. 
The annual meeting of the Northport Y. C. was held 
on the evening of September 5, and the following were 
elected officers : Com., J. B. Morrell ; Vice-Com., Charles 
A. Van Iderstine ; Sec'y, H. Davis Ackerly ; Treas., Mur- 
ray S. Brown; Trustees, J. B. Morrell, Charles A. Van
