Corinthian Y. C. 
Marblehead, Mass.— Saturday, June 25. 
The first of the ocean races to be finished off Marblehead was 
that of the Corinthian Y. C, which was started off the club 
house Saturday evening, Tune 25. A severe thunder squall made 
it necessary to postpone the start for an hour, and for the greater 
part of the night the yachts sailed through more or less fog. 
The course was from Marblehead to the Isles of Shoals and re- 
turn. From Thatcher's Island to the outer mark, both going 
out and returning there was a fairly good breeze, but irom 
Thatcher's Island to Marblehead the air was fluky at all times. 
Even where the breeze wai, it was streaky, so that it can only 
be said that the results depended more or less upon the fluky 
conditions. In Glass A, Cossack wen and led the whole fleet 
over the finish line. This was a natural win and was expected. 
In Class B, Sauquoit did the fastest sailing and had a big lead 
when Thatcher's Island was reached on the return home, but the 
flukes from this out caused her lead to be reduced, and although 
she finished first in her class, she lost cn corrected time to 
Khalifa, which had also sailed a very good race. In the 22- 
footers, it was all Medric until the fluky conditions set in after 
Thatcher's Island was passed on the return home, and then she 
was forced to see first place go to Peri II., which had been miles 
behind her before. The summary: ' 
Class A — Handicap. 
Class B— Handicap.

,A club race of the Corinthian Y. C. was sailed off Marblehead 
on Saturday, June 25, in a moderate S.W.- breeze. The 30-footers 
Chewink IV. and Sauquoit crossed the starting line almost to- 
gether and sailed in company until the first mark was reached. 
On the windward leg Chewink IV. pulled out a lead on Sauquoit, 
which she held to the finish. In the 22-footers Peri II. turned 
the weather mark ahead, but Medric passed her on the next 
leg and held the lead to the finish. The eight 18-footers went 
oyer the starting line bunched. When half of the first leg had 
been covered Bat went into the lead and held u to the finish. 
In the first handicap class Carina II. won easily. In the second 
handicap class the 15-footers Tabasco, Jr. and Little Misery 
were the starters. Little Misery led until the windward leg, when 
Tabasco, Jr. went ahead and led to the finish. The summary:

White Bear Y. C 
White Bear Lake, Minn. — Saturday, June 11. 
On Saturday, June 11, a nice full sail breeze was blowing at 
White Bear, not enough to make the men hang out to windward, 
but sufficient to cause an interesting race. The eight knot course, 
twice to Wildwood, was chosen by the committee for all the 
boats. They were sailed in four classes, the two new syndicate 
boats, the two old A boats, the new Bs. and the old Bs. 
The syndicate boats Alpha, designed by Mower, and Beta, by 
Crowninshield, had been having several small trials, but this was 
their first real race. The former is being sailed by L. P. 
Ordway, the latter by C. M. Griggs. From the start Beta got 
the better, and gradually gained until the finish, over 7m. in the 
lead. Of the As. Seeress, manned by Evan Rees, was the first 
to cross the line, and gradually increased her lead until the run 
home from Wildwood. Then Moccasin passed her, and rounded 
the Dellwood buoy several seconds ahead. On the second half 
of the course, however, Seeress quickly overtook her opponent 
and finished a victor by 6%m. 
The new Bs. started off in a bunch. At the center buoy 
Damfino, sailed by Dr. Owens, was in the lead, followed by 
Flycamaroo and Wanderer, sailed by Donald Taylor and Sam 
Ordway respectively. At Wildwood they were in the same order, 
but on the return to center Damfino did not set her spinnaker 
and was thus overtaken by Flycamaroo and Wanderer. The 
latter was the first to round the center buoy, and the race was 
finished in this order, Wanderer slightly increasing her lead. In 
the fourth class — the old Bs — Pluto, the White Bear champion 
of last year, was an easy victor. 
During the following week the Alpha and Beta had several 
races. At first Beta had a little the better, for her sail was 
flatter and in a better condition. Therefore, it was decided to 
exchange the sails and try the two boats. When this was done, 
Alpha beat by a larger margin than her opponent had previously 
done. So far, however, it is difficult to tell which of the two 
boats is the better. Beta seems to make a slightly better showing 
off the wind, while Alpha . will probably prove faster to wind- 
ward with large waves. When Alpha had her baggy sail she had 
a race with the Seeress. Although Seeress won to windward, 
Alpha more than made up the distance off the wind. 
Thursday, June 16. 
On Thursdav, June TO (he Minnetonkn b^at, Wihnja. arrived, 
and a frrnvdable brat she appears to be in a heavy wind. S'-e 
is a larce scow with a considerable amount of frre^r-rrd -~nd h*s 
her cert'rbrrrd at a very great s'ant and pointed slightlv in- 
ward. Tl ,: s boat was designed and built by Peterson, of Minne- 
tonka, and is owned and sailed by the London brother;. 
Firday, June 17. 
On Friday . Beta, Gaitia and Wihnja saild, in a good full sail 
breeze. Garria, designed and sailed by Dr. Welch, of St. Paul, 
put in ,a reef, and was . badly beaten by Wihnja., Beta gnt} 
WiUnja were abQut even, - 
Saturday, June 18. 
The regular Saturday race, June 18, was especially interesting, 
on. account of the fact that four new A boats participated— Alpha, 
Beta, Gama and Wihnja. There was a nice little S.E. wind blow- 
ing, only strong enough, however, for the six knot course— to 
Wildwood and return, then to center and return. 
The first boats to start were the old As, Seeress and Moc- 
casin. Seeress crossed the line first and gradually gained, win- 
ning at every turn, until the finish, when she was over 5m. in 
the lead. j 
The new A boats started close together in the following order. 
Alpha, Beta, Gama and Wihnja. The first leg was to windward, 
and Wihnja gradually gained until* she had passed her three 
opponents. She was the first to round the center buoy, fol- 
lowed by Alpha, Beta and Gama. At Wildwood the boats were 
in the same position, Wihnja having a lead of 23s. She main- 
tained this lead until the last leg, when Alpha overtook her and 
won by 48s. Beta finished third, a few seconds ahead of Gama. 
The new Bs, eight in number, started at 3:30. At the end of 
the first leg Wanderer was leading, followed by Circe, Damfino, 
Robin Hood, Rambler, Flycamaroo, Young America and 
Wraith. On the next- two legs few changes occurred, except 
that Rambler gained third position, and Wanderer increased her 
lead. On the last run home, Damfino caught and overtook 
Rambler and Circe, gaining second place. The following is the 
official time of the races, and the names of the skippers:

In the trial races, soon to commence, the A boats, both old 
and new, will take part. There will be two races each day, the 
boats sailing in pairs, and the winners racing off. 
The open regatta of the Pewankie Y. G- was held on the 18th 
in a fair easterly wind. Allummac led at the start, with Dora, 
Elk, Mercury and Comet following closely, while the Defender, 
through an error, lost over a minute is crossing. On the first 
leg Allummac held her position, but was outfooted to windward 
by the Comet. The latter won the race while Defender was 
second and Dora third.

Southern Y. G 
Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans, La., June 18. 
This day was a cup race event, a very popular mid-June an- 
nual fixture in the schedule of the Southern Y. C. The prizes 
contested for were the Baldwin cup for one-design cabin sloops, 
the Foster cup for one-design knockabouts and the Walker cup 
for all open sloops. This mixing of the big and little fellows of 
a division is not without its interesting side, as an opportunity 
is given to determine just how the give and take of the time 
allowance scale operates when stretched much farther than the 
generally accepted economic limits. The little fellows rarely 
have a chance to win no matter how big a bunch of allowance 
may be their portion. 
The wind was very light at the start at 1:30 P. M., and for 
the greater part of the afternoon, not over five knots, increasing 
toward evening to eight knots. The course was ten miles, over 
the regular club triangle of five miles, twice around. Calypso, 
the Boston 25ft. waterline cabin sloop, sailing her second race in 
the south, was the center of attraction. She was sailing under 
much better circumstances than when she lost her first race, 
her condition being improved and her new owner having the 
sloop well in hand, 'the Burgess & Packard designed ireak, 
Invader, was a sorry disappointment, it being a mystery how a 
boat with such a large spread of cloth could lag so far behind 
while being headed in the right direction, even if she was not 
particularly well handled. In this class Nydia and Agnes split 
tacks with the rest and went off hunting a fluke. They practi- 
cally never got back, for they lost nearly a whole stake on the 
move. The old-timer Susie B was well sailed and she and the 
Calypso made an interesting contest of it for a time. Susie, with 
her large club topsail, finally got rather the best of a nip-and- 
tuck drifting match with the northern jib and mainsail sloop, 
and she was leading by a hundred yards and more when an 
eight to ten knot breeze sprung up for the finish of the course. 
Calypso immediately picked up her heels, and there was there- 
after nothing on the course but the Hanley production. This 
gave southern yachtsmen their first chance to observe what an 
up-to-date, long-ended craft with great reserve power can do 
when the breeze is looking up a bit. Susie, in the increasing 
breeze, not only took down her topsail and outer jib, but tucked 
in a reef as well, while the harder it blew the faster and the 
better went Calypso. 
In the one-design class of knockabouts of Mower design, the 
Sinner won handily, she being, most cleverly handled, tor the 
Walker cup the only starters were the two Inland Lake Associa- 
tion importations, Kayoshk and Virgin, ex-Caroline. In the 
fluky drifting match on the first leg of the course, the former 
lost out and was never quite able to get to the front, although 
she did some phenomenal sailing up from the rear when she 
Jot her breeze. Kayoshk in one of the lastest production of 
ones & Laborde. 
There was much regret that the Boston 25-footers Chewink III. 
did not get here for the Baldwin cup race, but she was delayed 
by the alterations to her bow, v\l ich had to be made so that 
she could' measure in under the "45 per cent." rule of the south- 
ern clubs. The day she was expected to arrive here from New 
York she had not yet left Boston. Boats of the Calypso and 
Chewink size are growing popular here, and several others are 
being negotiated for by members of the Southern Y. C. The .

Beverly Y. C 
Buzzards' Bay, Mass. — Saturday, June 25. 
In a reefing breeze from the S.W., a club race of the Beverly 
Y. C. was sailed in Buzzards' Bay on Saturday, June 25. In 
the 30ft. class Young Miss was the only starter, and she took a 
walkover. In the 21-footers Terrapin beat out the new Herreshoff 
boat, Illusion, on every point of sailing. In the new 18ft. class 
there were three starters, Jap winning by 46s. Ranso won easily

Bristol Y. C. 
Narragansett Bay, R. I. — Saturday, June 25. 
The first open regatta of the Bristol Y. C. was sailed June 25, 
in a stiff southwester and a lumpy sea, that made out and out 
good racing in several classes. There were twenty-six starters, 
and twenty of them finished the course. Seldom has a better 
race been seen in Narragansett Bay than that put up by C. 
F. Tillinghast's Little Rhody, and the Priscilla, owned by W. 
S. Wood, of Fall River. It was a close scrap from start to finish, 
with much shrewd work on the part of both skippers, and the 
Priscilla crossed the line only two seconds ahead of Little Rhody, 
the latter, winning on corrected time. 
Another close race was between two 21ft. knockabouts, Eaglet 
and Oriana, in which Eaglet, sailed by a Providence g rl, IViiss 
Grosvenor, won by 5s., which was made nearly 3m. in c rrected 
time. 
The 30ft. cat Elizabeth won another first in her class, beating 
the Scott by nearly 5m. In the small launch class, N. G. Her- 
reshoff, Jr.'s Neon repealed her performance at the Rhode 
Island Y. C. the week before and walked away from her rivals 
with nearly 11m. to spare. 
Every yacht in the race carried a distinctive mark in the new 
racing pennant of the N. B. Y. R. A., flown from the main 
peak. The regatta committee consisted of Edward H. '1 ingley, 
Wallis E. Howe and Walter S. Almy. The winners were Little 
Rhody, Micaboo, Eaglet, Finnan Haddie, Elizabeth, Ina, Bother, 
Firefly and Neon. 
The course for the larger boats was 11 nautical miles, for the 
smaller sailing craft 9% miles, and for the launches 4% miles.

Bayside, L. I. — Saturday, June 18. 
The Bayside Y. C. held its first regatta on Saturday, June 18. 
There were eleven starters, and the race would have been a 
great success had it not been for the lightness of the breeze. The 
boats were to have sailed twice over a five mile course, but the 
race was stopped at the end of the first round. 
The sloops were sent away at 2:35, and Ruby was the first to 
finish; first prize goes to Little Peter, however, as Ruby allows 
her 7m. time. Emma J. was the only one of the three stcrters 
in the catboat class to finish. Emma J. ' made the best lime 
over the course. 
In the one-design dory class Bunnie finished a winner. Sea- 
weed was the only other boat to finish in this class, and she 
crossed the line ten minutes after Bunnie. The regatta, com- 
mittee consisted of C. S. Willis, Duncan Curry and J. Thomas

Boston Y. C 
Hull, Mass.— Saturday, June 25. 
The second of the special series of races of the Boston Y C 
was sailed off the Hull station of the club on Saturday June 25-
