Hempstead Harbor Y, C. 
Hempstead Harbor, Long Island Sound.— Saturday August 6. 
Thirty-six boats started in the thirteenth annual regatta of 
the Hempstead Harbor Y. . C. that was held on Saturday August 
6. The start was . .made at: 1:30, at that time there, was a little 
air from the. S.W.,. but the breeze softened to . such an extent 
before the race was half over that the contest was an m,con : 
elusive drifting match. The 36 and 30-fo.oters covered a 14-mile 
course. The starting line was in Hempstead Harbor, thence to.. 
Prospect Point, thence to' Scotch Caps buoy, thence to Matmi- 
cock buoy and back to the starting line. The three smaller classes 
covered a 6%-mile triangle, and the rest of the starters went 
over a ll s 4-mile course. 
At 1:35 the 36-footers were sent away, Mimosa III. crossing 
in the lead, followed by Anoatok and Spasm. Spasm soon moved 
into the lead, and 'from that time on was never headed. Spasm 
beat Mimosa III. 5m. 35s., and Anoatok 12m. 22s. 
Nike was the only starter in the 30ft. class, and she took a 
sailover. Alert, Mimosa and the other contenders in this class 
were conspicuous by their absence. Una had an easy win in the 
25ft. sloop class. Snapper was nearly 5m. behind at the finish. 
Tomboy, the . most likely competitor for Tartan in the race- 
about class, did not, put in an appearance. Rascal II., the new 
Crowninshield boat, managed to get away with Tartan. The 
Kid finished only 18s. behind Rascal II., and Howdy was 0s. 
astern of The Kid.. 
Gazabo captured another first in the 21ft. sloop class. Jeebi was 
second. In the 18ft. sloop class, Plover trimmed her two com- 
petitors easily. Wa Wa added another win to her almost un- 
broken record in the Indian Harbor one-design class; Kenoshi 
was second. Chichioker and Wister were outclassed in the 
Manhasset Bay one-design class, Arizona, the third starter, won 
with minutes to spare. 
There was a good turn out of Hempstead Harbor one-design 
boats, and of the five starters, Scud had all the best of it. Edsa 
won in the 18ft. sloop class, while Dunlea won in the 18ft. cat- 
boat class. The summary:

Rhode Island Y. C. 
Annual Cruise — July 23 to 31, . inclusive, 
v The annual cruise of the Rhode Island Y. C. was altogether the 
most enjoyable and successful event in the history of the club. In 
none of the details upon which such an affair is dependent for 
success was there anything lacking to give the utmost pleasure to 
yachtsmen. The weather was well-nigh perfect throughout, the 
wind was fair on all the port-to-port runs, there was some fine 
racing, and the week was crowded with social events. 
Altogether, there were fifty-one, yachts that participated^ in the 
cruise, the largest fleet at any one time, including forty-eight, in 
addition to the fleet of the Sachem's Head Y. C, with which there 
was a joint cruise for three days. , 
There was racing on each of the port-to-port runs, for, which 
handsome souvenir prizes were presented by Commodore F. T. 
Rogers, M.D., a rule being established that no yacht was to re- 
ceive more than two of the prizes, thus giving more interest to 
the others in each class. 
The yachts included in the fleet were as follows:

John M. Richmond. 
Steamers.— Endion, Leroy Fales; Azubah, Col. F. R. Mendel-

fireworks in honor of the visitors, at the Shelter Island Y. C. 
house. 
Wednesday, July 27. 
In the afternoon there was a regatta by the three clubs, the 
Rhode Island boats taking two of the four prizes, and the 
Sachem's Head and Shelter Island boats one each. In the even- 
ing the Shelter Island Y. C. tendered a dance at the Prospect 
House to the visiting fleets, which was a very brilliant affair. 
Thursday, July 28— Joint Run of Rhode Island and Sachem's Head 
Fleets to Block Island. 
Eleven of the Sachem's Head boats made the run, including 
the sloops Mariquita (flagship), Possum, Meudon,_ Spray, Gloria, 
Senta, Thelga, and Helene, and the yawls Umbrina, Altair and 
Pawnee. Com. Rogers, of the R. I. Y. C, offered a club prize, 
a handsome marine etching, to the fleet making the best average 
time on the run, and it was won by the Sachem s_ Head neet. 
Two cups, offered by Com. Peck, to the boats making the best 
and next best time, were won by Lady Mary and Kuhna. Millie 
and Scott won again in their respective clashes, but, according to 
the rules limiting to two prizes, the prizes were awarded to 
Daffodil and Elizabeth. The other winners were Roberta^ 1 ns- 
cilla and Keto. In the evening Com. Rogers, Fleet Capt Barlow, 
and Fleet Surgeon Risk, were entertained at dinner by Com. 
Peck and the officers of the Sachem's Head Y C, and there was 
a dance at the Hygeia Hotel, which was largely attended by the 
Friday™ July 29-Lay at Anchor in Great Salt Pond, Block Island. 
In the evening Com. Rogers entertained the Sachem s Head 
Y C with a dinner and vaudeville entertainment. There were 
one hundred and fifty-seven guests present from the two fleets, 
and many pronounced the evening the most conspicuous success 
of the cruise. „ , , T , ,„ 
Saturday, July 30. 
The two fleets exchanged parting courtesies and the Sachem's 
Head fleet started for New London, the Rhode Island fleet mak- 
ing a 32-mile run to Bristol. There was a dead calm at the stait, 
but the wind freshened into a rattling breeze The winners were 
Alice Daffodil, Sachem, Rahnee and Elizabeth Priscilla and 
Scatt'agafn finished first in their classes but were barred from the 
prizes. Scatt won a special prize offered by the commodore for 
the best showing .made by a cat on the cruise, and Alice won a 
special prize offered by the rear-commodore for launches 
Saturday evening there was a complimentary dance at the 
Bristol Y. C, and Sunday morning the fleet disbanded at Pot- 
ter's Cove where a club bake was served. ■ 
Altogether, in the size of the fleet, weather, sailing conditions 
an^ the social events of the week, the cruise was- far and away 
the most brilliant success ever achieved by the club.

Shelter Island Y. C. 
Shelter Island, N. Y.— Wednesday, July 27. 
An interclub regatta, incident to the visit of the Rhode Island 
and Sachem's Head yacht clubs to Shelter Island on their annual 
cruises, was held Wednesday afternoon, July 27, under the 
auspices of the Shelter Island Y. C. . The event was highly suc- 
cessful, as there was a strong S.W. wind that held throughout the 
afternoon, and the leaders made fast time over the triangular 
course, which was sailed twice over, a distance of 12 miles, lher. 
were eighteen entries, arranged in four classes, with a good 
representation from each of the three clubs. 
For the first class sloops the prize was a handsome silver dish, 
offered by proprietor Hathaway, of the Prospect House In the 
other three classes the prizes were club mugs, presented by the 
Shelter Island Y. C. The special prize was captured by a bheltei 
Island boat, the Rhode Island boats winning m two of the other 
classes and the fourth prize going to a Sachem s Head boat. 
In the first class, the Shelter Island sloops Kalmia and Woghnde 
had things their own way, Kalmia winning ouLand giving Pos- 
sum of g the Sachem's Head Y G, her first defea^m sixteen 
races Priscilla and Ethelka, of the Rhode Is and Y. C, both 
fast boats, especially Priscilla, were clearly outclassed Woghnde 
protested Kalmia for having a professional skipper, and there was 
some talk of Possum protesting both boats for alleged fouls 
Kalmia won, however, and it was a beautifully sailed race. The 
start; the first round and the finish were in among the big fleet 
of about one hundred yachts anchored in the cove off the club 
house, and there was some clever navigating exhibited by ttie 
skinners in all classes. . , „ 
In the smaller sloop class there were seven entries and a 
Rhode Island boat, Micaboo, won by 6m. Of the four boats in the 
cat class Elizabeth (R. I.) won in a prettily sailed race, and the 
Sachem's Head yawl Altair defeated Ragnild .(R. I.) by oyer 14m 
Many™f the launches of the three clubs carried large parties over 
the course to view the racing. The summary:

Edgewood Y. C. 
Narragansett Bay, R. I.— Saturday, Aug. 6. 
An open club regatta was held by the Edgewood Y. C. on the 
afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 6, in a stiff S. breeze that sent the 
racers over the course in good time, and provided some interest- 
ing sport There were fourteen entries arranged m four classes, 
in one of which there was only one boat. The course was a 
short triangular one, sailed three times over, making a total dis- 
tance of 11 nautical miles. With the prevailing wind this gave 
good conditions, a broad reach, a close fetch to windward with a 
little tacking, and a run down the wind, enabling the sloops to 
use their spinnakers. ■ V . 
As usual in club regattas in this club, the interest centered m 
the 30ft. cat class, in which there were five entries Mblem 
started first and led the fleet over the first round; but Eliza- 
beth picked up and passed her 011 the second round, winning by 
ne Scatt, 3 ?he champion of her class in the Rhode Island Y C 
annual cruise, did not show up well, and was over^ 7m behind 
Elizabeth. The Flint boys had made some changes m Wanderer 
III and gave her the first try -under new conditions. _ the lead 
on the keel had been removed, and inside ballast substituted, and 
one of the sails of the old Wanderer was bent On m place of the 
original. The effect was noticeable, and the boat did the best 
work she has yet shown m a race, holding close behind Scatt for 
about half the race. Her owners, however, were only trying her 
out. and withdrew at this point, as they were going away on a 
short cruise over Sunday. . . „ . ... , 
There was some close work m the 25ft. sloop class Priscilla, of 
Fall River, finishing first, but losing to Amanita, of Jamestown, 
on time allowance. There was a protest entered against Amanita 
for failure to follow the right side of a buoy on the course,^ and 
Amanita's owner protested Priscilla, a considerably larger boat, 
on the ground that she did not belong in the class. This -made 
a complex situation for the committee, and a decision on the 
r3 'Mae V Hop e e e 'sailed alone in the 25ft. class, anc| in the 15ft. class

The cabin sloops, knockabouts and racing machines were on the 
programme for the second day, and it turned out to be one of the 
grandest yacht races ever seen in the South. At the start the wind 
was 7 knots, which increased on the second round of the 5-mile 
triangle to fully 12 knots. The feature of the day was the second 
duel m these waters between the 25-footers Calypso and Chewink 
111., and a finer, tighter race could hardly be imagined, Calypso 
ft-inning by the narrow margin of 32s. Calypso started 40s. in the 
lead of Chewink, and they drove around the first 5 miles holding 
these relative positions exactly, neither gaining nor losing, so 
that when they were timed for the start of the second round they 
were still 40s. apart. 
On the second round, with the increasing breeze, Calypso pulled 
away 27s., and counting a time allowance of 5s., she won by just 
lm._ 2s.^ These are probably trie two best known cabin sloops of 
their size in the country; and although the scene of their con- 
tests has shifted from Massachusetts waters to those of the Gulf, 
their battles are continuing to be keen and interesting. Calypso 
carried her last year's mainsail, which is none too good, and a 
new jib. Both boats were black-leaded to the rail. Chewink was 
rather light in ballast, and she would have handled better if she 
had carried a thousand pounds more lead. In the North she 
caried about two thousand pounds in her centerboard, but this 
was carried away when she was being sailed from Boston to New 
Ycrk, preparatory for shipment by steamer. A new board was 
made for her here which contained only 700 pounds of lead, her 
owners deciding to carry a larger crew to make up the difference 
in weight. The live ballast idea has hardly seemed satisfactory, 
and it is probable that she will be given the designed chunk of 
lead and the crew cut down to about six. 
The contests in all the other classes was also notably close and 
exciting. Kayoshk beat Moki only 50s. in the scow class; in the 
one-design knockabout class, Sinner beat Siren by lm. and 19s., 
and in the second class of cabin sloops Nyda lost to Invader by 
2m. and 19s. after taking a severe blanketing from both Calypso 
and Chewink III. in turn as they passed her on her course.
