FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July 16, 1904. 
courses were laid for Marblehead after passing the 
whistling buoy off the Highlands. The wind was strong 
from the SW. crossing Massachusetts Bay, but Little 
Rhody kept on her balloon jib and carried it to the finish. 
Newasi, about three hours astern of Ray II., went across 
under her three lower sails, while Ray II., when last seen 
by Newasi, was staggering along under lower sails, top- 
sail and flying jib. The yawl Fanshawe was in second 
place, having done fine work up the Cape shore, but her 
navigator mistook the lights on Thatcher's Island for the 
Baker's Island lights, and she ran far off her course, and 
was obliged to lay to until daylight before she got her 
bearings. The run across the Bay from Provincetown to 
Marblehead was most exciting, as the wind was heavy 
and the sea was high enough to break on the highest 
crests. Many of the amateur skippers and crews doubt- 
less recalled Mr. Connelly's excellent tales in "Out of 
Gloucester," and imagined themselves second Tommy 
Olesons as they drove their craft along with all the. sail 
they could stagger to. 
It was necessary to keep a sharp lookout for other ves- 
sels, and to locate and identify the lights along the shore. 
As the night was beautifully clear, this would have been 
very easy had it not been for the many fires and fire- 
works on shore in celebration of the glorious Fourth. 
Minot's was the first light to be picked up, and this was 
unmistakable, as it flashed its one-four-three. _ Boston 
light could also be seen, and soon the bright twin lights 
on Thatcher's were in plain sight. Baker's twin lights, 
one above the other, were next seen, and then Marblehead 
light, this somewhat hard to distinguish from the electric 
lights on shore close by it. 
Little Rhody finished off the Boston Y. C. house m 
Marblehead harbor at 9:38 P. M., on July 4, having made 
the total run of 330 miles in 58I1. 42m., which is wonder- 
fully fast time for so small a yacht to make on an ocean 
course. Newasi was second to finish at 12 140 A. M., July 
5, 2h. and 50m. behind Little Rhody, and Ray II. found 
her way into the harbor some three hours later than 
Newasi. Fanshawe and Mignon arrived the next fore- 
noon, after having explored the islands between 
Thatcher's and Marblehead, while Sea Bird, which had 
dropped just far enough behind to miss all the luck of 
wind and weather, finished on the evening of the 6th. 
After the race was over, the owner of Ray II. protested 
Little Rhody and Newasi, claiming that they were racing 
craft and should not have been allowed to enter. He, of 
course, claimed that his own boat, Ray II., which, through 
the mistake of Fanshawe and Mignon m missing the 
rocky entrance to Marblehead harbor in the night, had 
finished third, was an ideal cruising craft, and had undis- 
putable claim to the Lipton Cup. It is difficult to see how 
Mr Hawes' claims can be allowed, as both boats he pro- 
tests were inspected and passed by the committee m 
charge before the start of the race. 
Little Rhody, the winner, was built by the Chase Pulley 
Company, at Providence, from a design by Mr George 
Owen, for Mr. C. F. Tillinghast. She is 34ft 6in. over 
all 22ft waterline, 8ft. 6in. beam, 5ft. 6m. draft, and 
carries 650 sq. ft. of sail in jib and mainsail rig. . 
Newasi was designed by William Gardiner, and built by 
Gilbert Smith at Patchogue in 1898 for her present 
owner Mr A. H. W. Johnson, of the Larchmont, At- 
Sic 'and Manhasset Bay Yacht Clubs. She is 3 8ft. 8in. 
over all, 25ft. waterline, 8ft. 41"- beam, 6ft. draft, and is 
a pole-masted sloop with double head rig Ray II. is 
owned by G. R. Hawes, of the Brooklyn Y. C. and was 
built bv J P. Smith at Nyack in 1903. Lloyds Register 
gives her length over all as 40ft., waterline 29ft. 7m., 
breadth 12ft. 3m., and draft 3ft. 8m. 
Little Rhody wins the hundred guinea cup offered by 
Sir Thomas Lipton, Newasi the handsome marine paint- 
ing offered by Mr. Warren Sheppard and Ray II. the fine 
marine clock given by the Rudder Publishing Company.

Southern Gulf Coast Y. A. Circuit. 
Pass Christian (Miss.) Y. C— Monday, July 4. 
Th J5 fi. rs ' of the six regattas of the racing circuit of the South- 
ern l_rult Coast Yachting Asociation was held at Pass Christian, 
Miss., on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, on Monday, July 4. 
lne circuit comprises a series of races, each club in the Associa- 
tion taking its turn, there being a regatta every week until the 
wind-up at the Southern Y. C, at New Orleans, the date this 
year being baturday, August 6. There are cruising races ar- 
ranged from point-to-point, and a well mapped out itinerary ex- 
tending over the entire six weeks in which the regattas are 
stretched out. The racing courses, with the exception of those 
• A -.^ ob M e and Southern Y. C.s, are out on the Gulf Coast 
in the WU-mile stretch between these two places, so that the short 
distance makes it convenient for members of the various crews 
to come and go from time to time, and as there are many who 
cannot stay away from business for the entire six weeks, the crews 
are changing more or less and many yachtsmen are afforded a 
chance for a few days upon the water; yet with all this it is 
rare that any of the vessels are short handed. The racing course 
of the Mobile Y. C. is on Mobile Bay, and that of the Southern 
1 &' °- n ■ Lake Pont chartrain, both being mere arms of the Gulf 
of Mexico. 
The Fourth of July this year afforded glorious weather for a 
yacht race. The afternoon was bright and cool and the racing 
vacl . lts were hurried twice around the 5-mile triangular course 
of the Pass Christian Y. C. to the tune of a merry 10-knot breeze, 
and the water was not over lumpy, that is, for yachts of a larger 
size, some of the mosquito fleet finding it a little too boisterous 
to start at all and others withdrawing on the first round. The 
fast racing machine Virgin, ex-Caroline, late of the Inland Lake 
Y. A., the entry of the Bay-Waveland Y. C. for the Association 
championship cup for boats of the Seawanhaka cup class type 
carried away her mast during the preliminary work before the 
race, and Urania, champion of these Class A scows last season, 
was also unfortunate enough to be disabled; she carried away 
her gaff jaws. Gladiola, ex-Galatea, sprang a leak and with- 
drew. Ihe two remaining freaks of this class, Kayoshk and 
Moki, sailed a grand race and they made the fastest time around 
the course, the former the best by 2m. 
The cabin 25-footer Calypso, sometime champion of the Yacht 
.Racing Association of Massachusetts, lead the fleet in grand 
style over the entire course, and she was 2 miles ahead of her 
nearest competitor at the finish. It was Calypso weather, just 
such a day of which tradition will tell of this great heavy-weather 
craft having been a heorine many times and oft. This event 
marked the dropping from this class to the one below of the 
boston designed freak Invader, two previous unsuccessful races 
having been enough. She won in the smaller class of cabin 
sloops, beating the hitherto almost invincible Nydia. In the one- 
design class of knockabouts of Mower design, the Sinner won 
handily. The next event takes place at the Bay-Waveland Y.

Cotinthian Y. C. 
Marblehead, Mass.— Saturday, July 2. 
A club championship race of the Corinthian Y. C. was sailed 
off Marblehead on Saturday, July 2, in a stiff W. to N. W. 
breeze. The wind was very strong in the puffs and a few acci- 
dents resulted. In the 30ft. class Chewink IV. and Sauquoit had 
a close tussle until the leeward mark was reached, when the 
Chewink IV., much the stiffer of the two, drew gradually away. 
On the windward leg Sauquoit's throat halliards parted and she 
was out of it. The 22-footers went away well bunched, Opitsah V. 
taking the lead at the first mark. Medric caught her on the next 
leg and held first place to the finish. Opitsah's bowsprit was 
carried away on the beat in, and she was taken in tow. In the 
18-footers Bat led all around the course, closely pressed by Arrow. 
Carina IT. was the winner in the first handicap class, and 
Suzanne had practically a sailover in the second handicap class.

Monday, July 4. 
In a perfect sailing breeze, with a smooth sea, the invitation 
race of the Corinthian Y. C. was sailed on Monday, July 4.

race this season in Massachusetts Bay. In the 30ft. class 
Chewink IV. took the lead soon after the start and held it all 
over the course.. In the 22-footers Warrior got the start, but 
Peri II. went into the lead before the first mark was passed and 
stayed there throughout the race. In this class Opitsah V. went

Eastern Y. C. 
Marblehead, Mass. — Saturday, July 2. 
The first of the series of special open races of the Eastern Y. 
C. was sailed off Marblehead >*'.\ Saturday, July 2, in a whole-

ward leg, but on the spinnaker run Chewink IV. went into the 
lead and remained there to the finish. Sauquoit, which was 
third at the weather mark, went into second place and held it. 
In the 22-footers Medric got the start, but Opitsah V., by hold- 
ing close to the shore, went into first place on the windward leg 
and led all around the course, with Peri II. a good second. The
