City Island, Long Island Sound, Monday, May 30. 
The twenty-one boats that started in the regatta of the Harlem 
Y. C, on Decoration Day, did not have very satisfactory racing, 
owing to the light breeze. It was the club's twenty-second annual 
regatta. 
The start was made off Belden's Point. The first mark was 
a stakeboat anchored off Prospect Point, thence to the second 
mark off Delancey Point, and -back to the starting line. This 
makes a course of about fifteen miles, and was covered by the 
boats in the 30-foot class. The second mark for the starters in 
the 26fe. class was Old Hen buoy, which shortened the course 
for these craft to about twelve miles. As the wind was S.VV., 
it made the first leg a run, the second a reach and the third 
a beat. At the start the wind was very light, but it strengthened 
materially toward the end, and the boats had a lively beat 
against an ebb tide on the last leg. 
Alert had matters her own way in the 30ft. class, and her com- 
petitiors were not timed. 
Firefly took another first prize in the 25ft. cabin class, keeping 
up her reputation of last year. The other three starters in this 
class did not finish. 
There were three stai-ters in the 25ft. special class, and Grass- 
hopper took another winning flag. This boat has made a good 
start this season, having won both the races in which she en- 
tered. Rogue did not finish. 
Two of the 25ft. catboats started, but neither finished. 
The best racing was seen in the 21ft. special class. Four boats 
started and three finished. Jeebi won, with Skip 10 seconds be- 
hind, and Wave crossed 10 seconds later. 
Plover and Tartan v.'ere the only contestants in the raceabout 
class. The former was badly beaten, Tartan winning with nearly 
eighteen minutes to spare. 
Houri beat Adelaide by a small margin in the class for the 
Larchmont 21ft. one-design boats; Vaquero did not finish. 
The thunderstorm that had been making during the afternoon, 
broke before some of the boats finished, and a number took in 
sail and were towed in to the anchorage. The Regatta Committee 
were on board the 40ft. launch Osprey. The summary:

Boston Y. C. 
City Point, Mass. Saturday, June 4. 
The first club race of the Boston Y. C. was held off the City 
Point station of the club on Saturday, June 4, in a light E. 
breeze. In the 30ft. class Sauquoit evened up things with 
Chewink IV., beating her by 1 minute and 31 seconds. Sauquoit 
got the start, and led all over the course, closely pressed by 
Chewink IV. Medric got the start in the 22-footers and led 
Opitsah V. all over the course. Cuyamel got the start in the 
18-footers, with the whole fleet of ten starters bunched. On the 
beat to, windward Bat opened up a lead, which she held to the 
finish. A tow got in the way down the bay, which Bat cleared, 
thereby helping her chances of victory. The 15-footer Tabasco, 
Jr., took a sailover. In the first handicap class, Idella won on 
time allowance. In the second handicap class, Scapegoat led 
all over the course. The summary: 
Class C — 30-Footers.

Sowth Boston Y, C 
City Point, Mass., Monday, May 30. 
The season in Massachusetts Bay was opened at City Point 
on Meinorial Day, with a Y. R. A. of M. open regatta, given 
by the South Boston Y. C. Many new yachts made their ap- 
pearance, especially in the 18ft. class. The appearance of the 
oO-footers was looked forward to with interest. Two of these 
boats were at the starting line, Chewink IV., designed and built 
by Messrs. Burgess & Packard, for Mr T. K. Lothrop, Jr. The 
opinion was generally expressed that, for a modern cruising 
class, for which wholesome types of yachts should be built, 
neither of these 30-footers was much to look at. Sauquoit is 
particularly tender, it being found necessary to reef her in the 
fresh breeze, not strong enough, however, for one to think of 
reefing a cruising yacht of 30ft. waterline. Chewink IV. was 
much the stifter of the two, and, for that day at least, seemed 
to be easily the faster. 
Sauquoit got the start, but was jammed on the wind, ■ while 
Chewink IV. sailed wide through Sauquoit's lee. When Chewink 
IV. tacked, she crossed Sauquoit's bow, and from then to the 
finish she kept increasing her lead. In the 22ft. class, Warrior 
= new boat designed and built hy Lawley, for Mr. S. C. Winsor' 
competed with last year's Medric. Medric v^ent over' the line 
first, with Warrior on her weather quarter. After passino- the 
first mark, Warrior took the lead and held it to the finish In 
the 18ft. class, Bat, designed by Mr. E. A. Boardman, and 'built 
by Lawley, for Hon. Charles Francis Adams, 2d, tacked clear 
of the bunch as soon as the starting line was crossed and soon 
took the lead, which she kept bettering to the finish. She won 
by B minutes and U setonds, an unusual margin in this plass. 
In iht new 15ft a'ass, Utt^e Mxsexy got tbis start and lc4 mm. 
thew were returning to the finish line, when an accident gave 
Tabasco, Jr., the lead, which she held to the finish. In the 
handicap class the Yawl Emma C. took the lead soon after the 
start, and had no difficulty in holding it all over the course. The 
summary:

Riverton, Delaware River, Monday, May 30. 
The Riverton Y. C. opened its fortieth season on Decoration 
Day, by holding a regatta. The event was a success, and a good 
breeze enabled the boats to make fast time over the course. 
The new one-design boats sailed their maiden race. No. 6 
won by 50 seconds. The catboats got away in a bunch, with 
Carolyn II. holding a slight advantage and the Sea Gull a close 
second. Carolyn II. drew away from her competitiors on the 
run up the river before the wind, but was passed by Gertrude 
on the way back. She, however, regained her position on the 
second time over the course and finished 55 seconds ahead. 
From a fleet of fifteen, the mosquito boats have dwindled dowia

College Point, Long Island Sound, Saturday, June 4. 
The annual regatta of the Knickerbocker Y. C. was sailed on 
Saturday, June 4. Eighteen boats started, and all but one 
finished. The wind was light and variable, varying from N.E. 
to S.W. In the 43ft. class, Paiute II. was the only starter, and 
she sailed over the course alone. Paiute II. was designed and 
built last winter by "Gil" Smith, at Patchogue. She is a good 
looking boat on the whole, but her appearance is rather marred 
by a very high cabin house. She did not show any great burst 
of speed, and both Leda and Alert were nearly a match for her. 
Gurnard and Nautilus, two old-timers, were the only starters 
in the 43ft. class (cruising trim). Gurnard won by nearly 
4 minutes. 
Irene won in the class of the Knickerbocker Y. C. yawls. 
Cruiser, her only competitor, was not timed. Alert, sailed by 
Mr. C. D. Mower, had no trouble beating Little Peter in the 
30ft. class. Tartan sailed a good race in the raceabout class, and 
beat Hobo, the second boat, by over a minute. Firefly beat 
Naiad handily and finished a winner with over 2 minutes to spare. 
Jeebi and Shovonne won in their respective classes. Leda won 
the Mildi cup for making the fastest corrected time over the 
course. The cup was won last year by Little Peter, but in order 
to become the property of an owner, the trophy must be captured 
two years in succession.

Fall River, Mount Hope Bay, Monday, May 30. 
The first Narragansett Bay racing of the season was held by 
by the Fall River Y. C. with its regular Memorial Day open 
regatta. There were thirteen starters, and at times some very 
pretty racing was afforded. 
The wind was stiffs from the S.W., and the boats crossed the 
line under single reefs. The start was made at 1:15 P. M. There 
were four classes that filled, the course for sloops being from 
the club house to Mount Hope buoy and return, and that for 
cats being to Common Fence buoy and return, each a distance 
of about twelve nautical miles. 
Priscilla was the winner in the 25ft. sloop class, but a protest 
was entered by Mr. C. F. Tillinghast, owner of Little Rhodv; 
the new - sloop built for the 22ft. restricted class, on account of 
a misunderstanding as to the starting signal, which gave his 
boat a handicap of about 6 minutes. 
The 30ft. cats made a pretty race on the first leg, but Mblem 
got fouled with a buoy in some close work near the outer mark, 
and lost too much time to recover, and Elizabeth had a break- 
down, so Scott had no trouble in taking first place. With the 
21ft. cats, Ina finished first; but the latter fouled Jane E. 
during the race, and first place was awarded to Mae Hope, 
the new boat built by Davis Bros., of Providence, which finished 
a close second. The summary follows:

South Brooklyn— Monday, May 30. 
The race for the challenge cup presented by the Brooklyn 
Daily Eagle, was sailed off foot of Thirtv-second street. South 
Brooklyn, to-day in a very good breeze. The contestants were the 
American Model Y. C, holder, and Brooklyn Model Y. C, chal- 
lenger, and was won very handily by the holder. The challenging 
boat was at no time dangerous, owing to her carrying much less 
ballast and more sail, which made her fall off so much in the 
beat to windward that it could not be compensated for by the run 
home before the wind. At the start the race was interesting, and 
was witnessed by a good-sized crowd, both from shore and out in 
boats. The boats sailed were the sloop Elizabeth, defender, 
sailed by H. Steuder, and sloop Julia E., sailed by J. Pelly. The 
race was to be started at 10:30 A. M., but owing to lack of wind 
was not started until the afternoon. Summary:
