Larchmont Y. C Race Meet. 
Larchmont, Long Island Sound— Saturday, July 16. 
The first of the six races, given during "race week," was held 
on Saturday, July 16. The wind was light from the S.W., but 
the day was clear and there was - a good number of starters— 
forty-nine to be exact. During the afternoon nasty looking 
clouds began piling up, but they proved to be ram rather than 
wind clouds, and those on the different boats only suffered a 
wetting. „ . >'-':' x , . : , , 
The two bronze boats met for the. first time since Neola lost 
her mast two weeks ago in the New Rochelle Y. C. race ihese 
boats covered a 15-mile triangle twice, making a total distance 
of 30 miles. . TT . , 
The regatta committee were on the tug Unique, and the pre- 
paratory was given at noon exactly. Ten minutes later the sixties 
were sent away. They crossed almost together, Neola having a 
slight advantage. Booms were eased ott to port and Jib top- 
sails were broken out for the reach to the first mark, 7y 2 miles 
off to the eastward. Weetamoe soon worked into the lead and 
showed Neola- the way all around the course. Weetamoe won 
by 5m. 57s. . ' . ' .... . 
Aspirant and Effort made their appearance m the 43ft. class 
for the first time this season. Aspirant started in the Eastern 
Y C ocean race, but withdrew. The 43-footers were started at 
12-15 Aspirant got the better of the start and led all over the 
course winning by 8m. 27s. The yawls in Class M also started 
at 12-15. There were three boats in this class. Tern showed a 
rare turn of speed and Tomped away from her rivals, until she 
got so far ahead the race lost its interest. Zenobia :.nd Memory, 
both rather well matched under the prevailing conditions, fought 
it out for second place. Memory won by over a minute. Spasm, 
with a new suit of Lapthorne & Ratsey canvas, demonstrated what 
she was capable of when at her best. Her two competitors in 
Class M were Anoatok and Mimosa III. She surprised every- 
one by beating Mimosa III. by minutes. Mimosa III. defeated 
Anoatok. , 
In Class N, Alert had an easy time with her three contenders. 
Nike (ex-Oiseau) was a poor second. The 43-footers and boats 
in Classes M and N sailed twice over an 11-mile triangle. Boats 
in Class P sailed once over the 11-mile triangle. There were 
three starters, and all of them were built for and formerly raced 
in the raceabout class. Una defeated Rogue by over 3m. Snapper 
was last. , * . . • . . ',",." >,'. P , . 
In Class Q Jeebi gave Gazabo a very bad beating. Skip, the 
other starter in this class, was the only boat that started in the 
race that did not finish. Phil. Howard's one-design New Rochelle 
boat Caper, sailed in Class R against Plover. Caper won by 
over 4m. Dorothy had the best of it in the Larchmont one- 
design class and won out by over a minute. Houri got second 
prize, and Vaquero II. was third. 
The raceabout class had the largest number of starters, ihe 
nine starters all got over the starting line within 25s., and at the 
finish less than 6m. separated the first and the last boat. Mr. 
Maxwell had Tomboy sailing in good trim for the first time, and 
she beat Tartan, her most formidable competitor, by the narrow 
margin of 8s. The racing in this class was of the best and never 
lost its keenness from start to finish. 
Wa Wa cleverly sailed by Mr. Frank Bowne Jones, won easily 
in the Indian Harbor one-design class. Kenoshi was second. 
Arizona beat Pup, the second boat, by a wide margin in the 
Manhasset Bay one-design class. . 
Three of the Bridgeport Y. C. 18ft. knockabouts sailed m one 
class and Miss Modesty got first prize. Mirage was second. 
Scud' was alone in the Hempstead Harbor one-design class and 
took a sailover. This was the only class that did not fill. In 
the Lark class Skidoo won easily. The summary:

special permission, be carried in addition. 
No other sails than those permitted to be carried may be on 
board a yacht during the race. 
Yachts will start in cruising trim and must have on board 
provisions, water, lights, anchors and other necessary cruising 
equipment sufficient for the purpose of a cruise of three days

from the committee boat. Yachts passing the eastern harbor of 
Block Island during the hours of darkness will burn a white 
flare light until answered by a similar light from the committee

Washington Park B. A. 
Narragansett' Bay, R. T. — July 16. 
The first of the three races for 30ft. cats for the cup offered 
by Commodore Peirce, of the Washington Park Boating Asso- 
ciation, was sailed Saturday afternoon, July 16, in a stiff S.E. 
breeze, that made good racing. Mr. Walter D. Wood's Elizabeth 
again came to the iront, getting the better of Mr. G. E. Darling's 
Mbiem, which had walkovers in the last two races of the class, 
those for the Possner cup of the Edgewood Y. C. i ■' . 
Elizabeth carried full sail, while Mblem went through with a 
baia eef, and Scatt put in two reefs soon after the start. 
:.d a handicap of nearly '4m. at the start, owing , to the 
nutting in the reef. ' '- 
Tried away the jaws of her gaff a minute after crossing 
t and was handicapped by five or six minutes in repair- 
ing the break. ■ ..... . ,- ._".....-.'■-" 
The course was a triangular one, sailed three times around, a 
distance of about 12 miles. This, with the S. wind, gave a. broad 
and a close-hauled reach and a run, with no windward work. The 
other two races in the series are scheduled for the succeeding Sat-

Sea Gate, L. I. — Saturday, July 16. , , 
Despite conditions of the most favorable nature only three 
motor boats came to the line in the events of the Atlantic Y. C. 
on Saturday afternoon, July 16, for unusually good prizes, offered 
by Commodore Harrison B. Moore. At a late hour the club 
launch was pressed into service, making four starters in all in 
a race held under the rules and sanction of the American Power 
Boat Association, 'the race was in charge of harry J. Gielow, 
Nada and the club launch went once over the 10-knot course, 
which led from the start off Sea Gate up through the Narrows 
to and around the beil buoy off Robins Reef Light and return. 
Yingt et Un and Nokomis covered the distance twice. The 
former made close to 18 miles on the first round and averaged

Lloyd's Register of American Yachts*. 
The second volume of the "American Yacht Register," 
published by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, fully justifies 
the promise of the first volume, issued last year, and giVes 
to yachtsmen what has long been needed, a thoroughly 
comprehensive directory of yachting. Much has been 
done during the year to correct and amplify the original 
information, and in particular to keep pace with the great 
change which is now taking place in the sailing fleet 
through the installation of gasolene engines. The list of 
power yachts, which includes 1,019 vessels, shows a very 
large number of old sailing yachts, once well known as 
cruisers or racers, which are now auxiliaries. Very full 
details of the engines of these and of other types of gaso- 
line vessels are given. 
The list of sailing yachts includes 2,099 vessels, making 
a total of 3,118 yachts of over 25ft. over all length in use 
in the United States and Canada. In this list every 
section of the two countries is represented, from British 
Columbia to Nova Scotia, and from Southern California 
to Maine and Florida. 
The list of clubs includes 159, the burgee of each, with 
the officers for the year, and other particulars, being 
given. In addition, there are over 1,300 private signals 
ot yacht owners, which, with the code flags arid national 
ensigns, make up nearly sixty color plates' of flags. 
The list of yacht owners includes nearly 3,000 names, 
with the address of each owner, the clubs to which - he 
belongs, and the yachts owned by him. 
A list is given of the yacht designers and builders of 
the United States, with the various yachts designed or 
built by them. The official signal letters of all yachts are 
given in a separate list, and also a list of former names 
of yachts. 
A special feature of the book is the employment of the 
distinctive symbols of Lloyd's Society to indicate the 
class, and character of each vessel built under Lloyd's 
survey or specially classed by the Society; thus giving 
an unimpeachable guarantee of the nature of the original 
construction and the manner in which the yacht has been 
kept up. Though new to this country, the building of 
yachts to Lloyd's rules and under the inspection of the
