A yacht which is attracting more than usual interest 
was in the harbor of Greenport, L. I., a few days ago. 
She is a long, narrow craft, carrying one sail. But the 
peculiarity which attracted the attention was the name, 
which was painted in a scroll on the bow, Transmagnifi- 
candanuality. As none of the boatmen who saw her 
were scholars with a classical education, they could but 
hold their chins in their hands and contemplate the freak. 
There are many strange names given to yachts these 
days, but this one stands at the top of the list, and from 
an etymological standpoint is beyond comparison. One 
old salt noticed that the yacht was a trifle by the head, 
and said the size of the name was the cause of it- 
Brooklyn Eagle; 
Annisquam Y. C. 
Aanisquam, Mass.— Friday, Aug. 12.

Brooklyn Y. C, 
Bensonhurst, L. I. — Saturday, Aug. 13. 
The Brooklyn Y. C. gave an open regatta on the afternoon of 
Saturday, Aug. 13, over courses in Gravesend Bay. Twenty boats 
started. The winners were Vivian II., Era, Bonito, Ogeemah, 
Wee Wean, Kelpie and Rascal. An E. breeze of whole sail 
strength held steady throughout the event, sending the starters 
over the regular Association courses in spirited manner. The 
appearance of the Seawanhaka 15-footer Wee Wean, brought 
arcund from the Sound to measure strength with the new one- 
design class of the Marine and Field Club, enlivened interest to 
a noticeable degree. None of Marine and Field craft entered 
the race. Wee Wean competed against the Herreshoff creation 
Sandpiper. The latter, besides starting long after her signal, was 
in wretched trim for racing, and so proved no match for the craft 
from Oyster Bay. 
Boats in Classes M and N had a run with spinnakers set from 
the start of the Brooklyn . Y. C. anchorage to the Marine and 
Field Club buoy. A close reach brought them to the Fort Ham- 
ilton mark, and another led out to the Craven Shoal buoys. From 
there it was a close-hauled board to the Atlantic Y. C. stakeboat 
and a broad reach home. All marks were left to port, and the 
journey was covered twice, aggregating about 10 nautical miles. 
1 he other boats sailed the same course, excepting that the 
Craven Shoal marks were left out. This made a long leg of 
windward work across the Bay from Fort Hamilton to the At- 
lantic Y. C. at Sea Gate . The small yachts went twice around, 
sailing about 8 miles on the journey. 
Maydic was the first boat to end the race. Vivian II. followed 
and won out on corrected time by lm. and 43s. Era scored a 
clever victory over Bagheera, and Bobtail beat the former on 
corrected time by 25s. The finish in Class Q between Ogeemah 
and Mary was a close one, the first-named crossing the line only 
Is. ahead. On corrected time she won by a large margin. Cicada 
fouled the Marine and Field Club mark on the first round, and 
Karma withdrew. The summary follows:

Beverly Y. C. 
Wing's Neck, Buzzard's Bay — Saturday, Aug. 6. 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 357th regatta off the club house, 
on Wing's Neck, last Saturday. This was the sixth Corinthian 
race of the season. The morning was most discotiraging, as the 
atmosphere was thick, and rain fell occassionally. Toward noon, 
however, a breeze sprang up from the S. and gradually worked 
into the S.W., and developed into a good racing breeze, that 
averaged probably about 8 knots per hour. Mr. F. A. Eustis acted 
as judge. 
Ihere were three starters in the 30ft. class, and Praxilla, in her 
eagerness to get over the line ahead of h«r rivals, crossed before 
gun-fire and was obliged to return and re-cross the line, thus 
losing lm. 10s.. In spite of this, she beat both her rivals, 
winning by 2m. 41s. 
In the 21ft. class Hybrid, which Mr. Crane has widened 28in. 
on deck, started for the first time since she was altered. She 
got a good start, but appeared to sag off to leeward, and she 
gradually fell behind the other two boats a considerable distance. 
Terrapin and Quakeress, as usual, had a very close race, Quak- 
eress leading over most of the course. Terrapin, however, passed 
her on the reach across the Bay and maintained her lead to the 
finish line. Just at the last minute Quakeress began to gain 
rapidly, and finished within 15s. of her rival. 
In the 18ft. class Jap, which was sailed by Mr. R. W. Em- 
mons 2d, won. Thus Mr. Emmons continued his practice of 
winning in whatever boat he sails. Maori won in the cat class, 
and Ranzo in the 15ft. one-design class. The times in detail

Boston Y. Ci 
Boston, Mass.— Wednesday, Aug. 10. 
A ctUB race of the Boston Y. C. was sailed off the Marbleheadl 
station on Wednesday, Aug. 10, in a fresh S.E. wind, with rairi 
and a heavy sea. In the 30ft. class Chewink IV. was away first, 
and led all over the course. In the 22ft. class Clotho and Warrior 
were away first, at the windward end of the line. Clotho held 
a slight lead out to the windward mark, and off the wind she 
ran away from the other boats. In the 18-footers Mirage II. got 
the start and led to the first mark, but on the windward leg 
Hayseed took the lead and held it to the finish. Vera II. won 
easily in the 15-footers. The handicap class was bunched at the 
start. Jingo going out ahead and holding a slight lead to the 
finish. The summary:

Bridgeport Y. C. 
Black Rock, L. I. Sound — Saturday, Aug. 13. 
The annual regatta of the Bridgeport Y. C. was held on Satur- 
day, Aug. 13, in a fresh S.E. breeze. There were only a small 
number of starters, twelve boats coming to the line. Most of the 
racing craft are owned at the western end of the Sound, and 
Bridgeport is apparently too far eastward to tempt many boats 
to make the trip there to race. Commodore T. L. Park was on 
hand with two starters. 
The 30-footers and 25-footers covered a 15-mile triangle, while 
the raceabouts and 18-footers went over a 10-mile triangle. 
The 30-footers were started at 2:45. Sassacuss and Mimosa III. 
were the only starters. The former withdrew soon after the 
start, and Mimosa was left to cover the course alone. 
Firefly and Ojibway were the next to start in the 25-foot class. 
Firefly won by over 7m. 
Hobo won in the raceabout class and Cricket finished second, 
beating Roma by 8s. 
There were three starters in the 18ft. class, and Miss Modesty 
won. Mirage and Fiji had a close race for second place, the 
former winning by 3s. Answer was disabled before the start, and 
Question did not finish. The summary:

Washington Park B. A. 
Narragahsett Bay, R. I.— Saturday, Aug. 13. 
The third and final race in the series for 30ft. cats for the cup 
offered by Commodore Peirce, of the Washington Park Boating 
Association, was sailed Saturday afternoon, Aug. 13, in a good 
S. breeze that gave satisfactory conditions. There were three 
entries for the final event, and W. D. Wood's Elizabeth won the 
race and the cup. The course was a triangular one, with a 
windward beat, sailed three times around, giving a distance of 
about 12 miles. Mblem led the others over the first round, but 
afterward fell back to third position. Her owner entered a pro- 
test against Scatt, alleging that the latter had gone to the wrong 
side of a channel mark, but the committee held that the sailing 
rules had not been violated thereby, and that Scatt had gained 
no advantage in so doing. Had the protest been allowed, Mblem 
would have had second place in the race, and in the marking for 
the series would have tied Elizabeth for the cup. In the three 
races, according to the committee's decision, the boats secured 
points as follows: Elizabeth 7, Mblem 6, Scatt 3, Clara 2. 
It was also a club regatta for the Association, and there were 
five entries besides the 30-footers, the smaller boats sailing a 
7-mile course to windward and return. The winners were the 
knockabout Terror and the 16ft. cat Elizabeth. The committee 
in charge consisted of Thomas Shallcross, F. C. Thurston, I. 
W. Sylvester, E. R. Lassone and J. A. C. Sanford. The sum-

Manchester Y C 
West Manchester, Mass. — Tuesday, Aug. 9. 
The race of the Manchester Y. C. for the Crowhurst cup, pre- 
sented by Mr. Francis M. Waterhouse, was a complete fluke. 
The 22-footer Medric had a good position at the start and had 
the race practically won until, when near the finish, she ran 
into a calm spot, and both Opitsah V. and Warrior passed her.
