Pacific lotetclub Y. A* 
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., 
Wednesday, September g. 
The thirty-eighth annual regatta of the Pacific Inter- 
fcltib Yachting Associatibn was sailed on Wednesday, 
September 9. . . 
At .2 P. M. the starting whistle for the 20-footers was 
sounded.; and the yawl Kittiwake, with the sloops Ruby, 
Mistral and Zada, crossed the line between two stake- 
boats anchored off Powell street wharf. The tide was 
ebbing and there was a fair breeze, which freshened as 
the afternoon wore on. 
In the yawl special class there were four entries; Ida 
took first place by a margin of 4m. 12s., corrected time. 
In the 30ft. class the sloop Challenger won easily, mak- 
ing better time over the course than any yacht in the 
36ft. or 44ft. classes. Her elapsed and corrected times 
were 2h. 29m. 52s. Helen was second in a corrected time 
of 2h. 44nL 34s. yEolus finished is. ahead of Truant; 
she bent her by that small margin. 
In the 36ft. class Harpoon beat Edna by im. 38s., cor- 
rected time. 
Interest was increased in the 44ft. class by the appear- 
ance of the sloop Nixie. Though the elapsed time of 
Nixie was im 32s. better than that of her competitor, 
Speedwell's time allowance of 3m. 26s. brought her in a 
winner. 
Rollo Smith, judge on the windward stakeboat Alice, 
reported last night that the yawl lola fouled the starboard 
stay of the Alice with her jigger, and that the sloop 
^olus fouled the mainsheet of the sloop Truant. 
The races were under the management of the Regatta 
Committee of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association, 
consisting of S. Middlemas, of the Corinthian Y. C, 
chairman ; G. E. Smith of the San Francisco Y. C, R. 
R. I'Hommedieu of the California Y. C, P. J. Weniger of 
the Vallejo Y. C. and Louis Sonniksen of the South Bay

BOSTON, MASS., 
Wednesday, September g. 
The last race of the season to be given under Y. R. A. 
of M. rules was given by the Boston Y. C. off its Hull 
station on Wednesday, September 9. The wind was light, 
varying from E. to S. W. In the 25-footers Sally VII. 
had things about all her own way after the start. Early 
Dawn sailed a good race in this class, and finished a 
strong second. In the 22ft. class Tayac got away first and 
led all over the course. The 18-footers were bunched 
at the start, and soon after Chance and Domino got into 
a luffing match, during which Question got away and 
established a lead, which she held to the finish. Chance 
got the better of the argument with Domino and held 
second place to the finish. Chance, ho>vever, was pro- 
tested by Aspinquid 11. In the one-design dories Vera 
won a close race. Jacobin was first over the finish line 
in the handicap class, but lost to Bonito on time allow- 
ance. The summary:

Atlantic Y. C. 
SEA GATE, L. I., 
Saturday, September ig. 
The fall regatta of the Atlantic Y. C. was held on 
Saturday, September 19, over courses in the Lower Bay. 
The chief interest in the event centered in the struggle 
among the 30-footers. Oiseau, Alert, Bobtail and Bag- 
heera had met earlier in the year in the races for the 
■ Manhasset Bav Challenge Cup. Alert successfully de- 
fended the trophy. Oiseau finished' third and Bobtail 
fourth in the contest on points. 
Ever since those races the Atlantic Y. C. boats, mclud- 
ing Vivian II., a Herreshoff creation, purchased since the 
cup contests, have wanted to try conclusions with Oiseau 
and Alert. Overtures were made to these boats and they 
were at last persuaded to leave the Sound waters and 
come to Sea Gate. 
A sweepstakes trophy was arranged to which the club 
contributed a snug sum. This was to be divided among 
the winners of the first three places according to com- 
mon agreement for a series of three races on points. The 
system in use gives a boat one point for starting and 
one for every boat she defeats, with the understandmg 
that points for all races after the first shall be figured on 
the number of boats in the initial event. 
The contest on Saturday was the first of the series. 
The visiting boats proved the smarter, and the struggle 
resolved itself into one between Oiseau and Alert for 
first honors. The Maxwell boat finally won out by 17s. 
actual time. Bobtail beat Bagheera for third place by 2S. 
The 30-footers went twice out to West Bank Light 
and back, a distance of 12 nautical miles. It was a broad 
reach out and a beat home in which the tide was a potent 
factor. The event for these boats was started at 3:05 
P. M. . , , , 
The other craft were sent away shortly after 11 0 clock 
in the morning. The regatta committee was on the tug 
Union. The smaller boats went out to Old Orchard 
Shoal Light and return, a distance of 12^ nautical miles. 
In the light N. E. wind blowing it was a run out and a 
beat home. 
The tide was ebbing nearly all of the journey, and craft 
which worked home under the Staten Islaiid shore had 
the better of the struggle. Naida, recently built from the 
lines of Mr. Henry J. Gielow, finished far ahead of the 
rest of the fleet. Mary and Apukwa II. did much better 
than usual. With the two remaining races' in the 30-;foot 
series the yachting season of the Atlantic Y. C. ends.

The series for the 30-footers ended with two races held 
on September 20; Alert finished first for the three con- 
tests with 13 points. Vivian II. was close behind, with 
10. Bagheera got 8, Bobtail 7, and Oiseau 5. 
The two last races were held in a fine breeze from the 
N. E. Vivian II. and Alert had it nip and tuck for first 
honors. The Vernon boat finished first in each, but lost 
the morning race by 29s corrected time. In the second she 
was victorious by 32s. corrected time. Oiseau had hard 
luck. She was disabled in the morning event and with- 
drew in the afternoon. 
The first race on September 12 was over a triangular 
course. The boats had a broad reach to Craven Shoal 
bell buoy, another reach to West Bank Light, and a beat 
home. The journey was covered twice and aggregated 
fourteen nautical miles. In the afternoon the course was 
to Old Orchard Shoal Light and return. It was a run 
out and a beat home, a distance of I2j4 nautical miles.

on the morning of Labor Day, September 7, ai^^d ended 
with the finish of the last boat on Sunday. Se^.'.eniber 13. 
Morten F. Plant's Herreshoff cr°?ti(jn, Ingomar, was Jhe

Each boat had interesting tales to tell of the long strug- 
gle. Minor accidents were frequent. Head winds and 
fog prevailed to an irritating degree. The schooners in 
the race were the best for ocean going in these parts. It 
is likely that all will be seen in events of like nature next 
year. Each boat was separated by hours from the other, 
and corrected times were not figured out. The summary:
