FOHEST AND STREAM, 
[June 25, 1904. 
Rhode Island Y. G. 
Narragahsett Bay, R. I., Saturday, June 18. 
The first club regatta of the Rhode Island Y. C. for the sea- 
son was held June 11, in connection with the annual ladies' day 
celebration, and the whole event was one of the most successful 
in the history of the club. There was a large number of mem- 
bers and guests present. The weather was perfect, and the 
various features of the programme were carried out like clock 
work. Among the visiting craft were Mr.- N. G. Herreshoff's- steam 
yacht Roamer, Mr. J. B. Herreshoff's steam yacht Eygenia and 
Commodore A. H. Skinner's flagship Katherina, • of the • Fall 
River Y. C. 
In the regatta there were ■ twenty starters, and the, winners 
were Little Rhody, Elizabeth, Nobska, Marguerite, El Cid,- Ichi 
Bann and Neon. Second prizes went to the Ethelka, Mblem, 
Ina and Baby Roger II. The prizes in each class were silver 
cups. 
The wind was fresh from the W., a little to the N., and held 
true throughout the race. In the sloop class there were four 
starters, and the new Tillinghast boat. Little Rhody, the only 
one built for the proposed N. B. 22ft. restricted class, had a 
Avalkover. The 30ft. cats put up a fairly close race as to the two 
leaders, Elizabeth leading the way and defeating Mblem by Im. 
14s. In the 25ft. cat class, Mae Hope had the race on cor- 
rected time, but was disquilified for fouling a buoy, and the 
first went to Nobska, which finished first. Marguerite and 
Bother made a good race, the former winning by Im. 17s. cor- 
rected time. 
The feature of the power boat racing was the appearance of 
the Ichi Bann, the first auto boat to be owned in this vicinity , 
and her speedy performance aroused great interest. She covered 
the seven nautical mile course in 29m. 16s., and her only op- 
ponent. Vanish, dropped out on the first round. F. S.- Nock, 
the designer and builder of Ichi Bann, was chairman of the 
race committee, and the boat was handled by her owner, J. R. 
Harding. In the class for small launches, Herreshoff's Neon 
had a walkover, starting with a bad handicap and winning by 
nearly 17m. corrected time. The summary:

Boston Y. C. 
Hull, Mass., Friday, June 17. - , 
The Y. R. A. open race of the Boston Y. C, sailed off the Hull 
station of the club on Friday, June 17, was a most successful 
one, with forty-two starters. A light easterly breeze prevailed, 
gradually lightening to the finish, but enough to make good 
racing. There was a close contest between the new 30-footers, 
it being anvbody's race until the finish. Each of the three boats 
had the lead at some time during the race, and on the second 
round, Sauquoit took the lead and held it to the finish. There 
were eight starters in the 22ft. class. Tayac got the start in this 
class, but Clotho, now a keel boat, took the lead soon after and 
held it all over the course. There were seventeen starters in the 
18ft. knockabout class. Bat, as usual, got a good start, well clear 
of the bunch, and she led all over the course, but was cosely 
pressed by Arbeka II. There were only two 15-footers, Tabasco, 
Jr., and Little Misery. Little Misery got the start, but after 
that it was all. Tabasco Jr.'s race. L'Aiglon and Jingo sailed 
a hot race in the first handicap class, L'Aiglon getting the lead 
on the second round of the course and holding it to the finish. In 
the second handicap class, Scapegoat took th^ lead soon after 
the start, and was never headed. The summary:

Sqaantum Y. C 
Quincy, Mass., Saturdav, June 18. 
The Y. R. A. open race of the Squantum Y. C, sailed in 
Quincy Bay on Saturday, June 18, was one of the most suc- 
cessful in the history of the club. There was a good breeze 
from the N.W., and the racing was good in every class. On ac- 
count of the depth of water the largest class provided was for 
22-footers.. In the 22rfo.oters Opitsah V. goth the start and led 
until the last mark was turned, when Clotho, which had pressed 
her hard on the windward leg and had held her on the second 
run, went oHt ahead and held her lead to the finish. In thp 18- 
British Letter. 
A MOVEMENT is OH foot between the representative 
authorities which govern the rating rules in England, 
Germany, Denmark, Scandinavia and France, whereby 
It is hoped that m a few years an international rating 
rule for Europe may be evolved. The time chosen 
tor the start of the movement is singularly opportune, 
lor the British, German and Danish rules all expire in 
December, 1907, and it is doubtless, owing to this 
fortunate coincidence, that the question of one rule 
common to all great European yachting centers, owes 
Its birth. The French rating rule expires at the end 
of 1905; and It IS suggested that it should be prolonged 
until 1907, when it is hoped that the French clubs 
will agree to the idea of an international rule. The 
secretary of the British Y. R. A., the vice-president of 
the Deutscher Segler Verband, and the president of 
t^he Danish Royal Y. C, at Copenhagen, have all ad- 
dressed letters to the leading French authorities urg- 
ing the advisability of co-operating with them in the 
new scheme, and the replies received have been favor- 
able. There is one other country which should cer- 
tainly not be left out, and that is Italy. Yacht racing 
has received such an impetus during the last two years 
m that country that the bulk of the sport provided in 
the Riviera regattas has been that between France and 
Italy. Moreover, the countries are contiguous, and 
everything points to the advisability of including Italy 
m the list. Curiously enough there is not a great dif- 
ference in the method of rating yachts in any of the 
above 'mentioned countries; it is only in minor details 
that divergencies are to be found, so there ought not 
be any real difficulty in adjusting differences and con- 
structing a rule which shall at once be common to all 
Europe, and an improvement upon any of the existing 
formulae. All that is wanted is genuine co-operation, 
and this seems likely to be given. There is, of course! 
plenty of time for the evolution of a very satisfactory 
rule between this and 1907; but the matter should not 
be allowed to drop entirely for any length of time, 
and the scheme should be fostered and kept warm, so 
that every advantage may be taken of the long space 
between the present date and the end of 1907. It is 
by no means the first time that the idea has been 
mooted, but it has never been taken up seriously be- 
fore. However, unless something very unforeseen oc-' 
curs, that much longed for desideratum among yachts- 
m.en — a serviceable and universal rating rule — will be 
un fait accompli. 
Mr. Morton F. Plant's schooner Ingomar has crea- 
ted a very favorable impression on this side. Whatever 
may be the comfort of her internal accommodations — ■ 
and, it is understood that no pains have been spared'
