Manchester and Beverly Y. C. Jo-footers— 
Match Race. 
Provincetown, Mass.— Monday, Aug. 22. 
Early last spring arrangements were made between the owners 
of a one-design class of 18-footers of the Manchester Y. C. built 
under the restrictions of the Massachusetts Eighteen Foot Knock- 
about Association, and the owners of a new c.ass of 18-footers 
owned by members of the Beverlv Y. C. The Massachusetts Bay 
boats were designed by Mr. E. A. Boardman, and the Buzzard s 
Bay boats by Mr. N. G. Herreshoff. The Massachusetts Bay 
boats are of the keel type, while the Buzzard's Bay boats, are 
centerboards, having more beam and more sail area. The condi- 
tions of agreement arranged for three series, the club winning 
two out of three races in a series to be the winner of the series, 
and the club winning two out of three series to be the winner of 
the match, a series of races to be sailed each season. 
It was arranged to have the first series sailed on neutral 
ground, and so the boats, three on a side, met at Provincetown 
on Monday, Aug. 22, for the first race. There was a stiff breeze 
blowing, which caused five out of the six boats to be more or less 
disabled before they could be sent away. One boat of the 
Beverly Y. C. was withdrawn, which necessitated the with- 
drawal of a Manchester boat. The breaking down of Boo Hoo 
of the Manchester Y. C, soon after the start, caused the race 
to be a tie, and the contest went for nothing, it being specified 
that all ties should be sailed off. Enough was shown, however, 
to prove the superiority of the Manchester boats in a strong breeze 
and a lump of a sea. 
Tuesday, Aug. 23. 
To hasten matters, it was arranged to have two races on Tues- 
day, the first to -be triangular and the second to be to windward, 
or leeward and return. Only four boats competed in the first 
race which was all Manchester. The wind was strong N.Js. and 
the sea lively. The Manchester boats had the Beverly boats cov- 
ered at the start, and Arrow and Fudge led Jap and Wizard all 
around the course. . 
In the afternoon there was not quite so much wind, and the 
sea was smoother. Three boats competed on each side, and the 
six were all bunched at the starting line. The same team work 
which counted for Manchester in the morning was again evident 
after the start of this race, when each Manchester boat had a 
Beverly boat under her lee. Boo Hoo and Arrow were easily 
first and second, while Fudge was fifth, giving the Manchester 
Y. C. two races and the series. The next series will be sailed 
at Manchester. The summary :

Southern Y. C. 
Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans, La.— Saturday, Aug. 20. 
The Rawlins cup, for all model cabin sloops over 20-rating, 
the Tranchine cup, for all open sloops, the Olivera cup, for all 
model catboats, and a special prize for one-design knockabouts 
were contested fcr over the 5-mile triangular course of the b. 
Y. C. on Aug. 20. The day was inclined to be stormy, and the 
wind was decidedly variable, veering from S.W. to E. and back 
a^ain in wobbly fashion a number of times at the light velocity 
of about 6 knots from the starting gun until the first half of the 
10 miles had been run by the larger yachts, when it came in quick 
' order out of the W.S. W. at an 18-knot clip, the general con- 
dition being squally. . . \ . . 
The entries for the cabin sloop event brought out Chewink 111., 
Calypso, Invader and Nydia. The first two, imported Northern 
rivals had exactly the same measurement, and both had to allow 
Invader 2m. 30s., and Nydia 4m. 10s. A commendable incident 
in connection with the race of these boats was the special prepar- 
ation which had been given Invader for the occasion.^ This is 
one of the new boats of the season, and she was built locally 
from a design by Messrs. Burgess & Packard, of Boston. Ex- 
Commodore J. Walton Gienny, one of the owners of Chewmk 
III., took Invader in hand and prepared her for the race for 
her 'owners, lowering her cabin house, having her black-leaded, 
and otherwise bestowing his past-master attention on the craft, 
until her condition apparently approximated closely to that of 
Chewink III. and Calypso, which have been hauled out and 
rubbed down for all their races. Commodore Gienny handled 
Invader in the race, and he did splendidly with her until she was 
crippled by the head stay carying away. He pluckily kept on, 
making repairs meanwhile, and finished in good order, the boat 
sailing in the third best time around the course. Nydia's owner 
realized that he hardly had a chance against the larger boats 
and went in merely to fill-in, so that with Invader at a disad- 
vantage, the race really resolved itself into a splendid duel be- 
tween Calypso and Chewink, the latter winning by 3s. Calypso 
started 19s. before Chewink, and finishing just 16s. in the lead. 
On the first round Chewink went to the fore and led by several 
minutes. Later Calypso was enabled to overhaul and pass her 
on the wind, and she held a short lead to the home stake, not, 
however, far enough ahead to win the race. 
Virgin won the cup for open sloops, Chiliktah that for catboats 
and Sinner carried off the special compass and binnacle prize 
for the one-design knockabouts. 
The most pleasant incident and a special feature of the after- 
noon was the presentation to ex-Commodore Emile J. O'Brien 
of a handsome watch, fob and charm, a testimonial froni the 
commodores of the six clubs forming the Southern Gulf Coast 
Yachting .Association, the president of the Association, Com- 
modore John A. Rawlins, making an able presentation speech 
anu acting as toastmaster for the occasion. Commodore O'Brien 
is looked upon as the father of later day yachting in the south, 
he having started a revival of the sport about 1879, and four 
years ago he was largely instrumental in organizing the Associa- 
tion which is so splendidly swaying the destinies of the noble 
pastime in this section. He is chairman of the Regatta Com- 
mittee of the Southern Y. C. and officiating judge for the entire 
round of Association regattas, and during more than twenty-five 
years he has not missed a single season, either as an active par- 
ticipant in the contests, or officiating in some capacity looking 
to the sport and enjoyment of others. Yachtsmen of the south 
cannot too highly honor and compliment this beloved guide, 
philosopher and friend.

Atlantic Y. C 
Sea Gate, L. I.— Saturday, Aug. 20. 
Twenty boats started in the. open regatta given by the Atlantic 
Y, C. on the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 20, over courses in the 
Lower Bay_ It was the fourth race to,, count .on ,the Association 
championship of 1904. The winners were Red Wing, Era, Lizana, 
Ogeemah, Beta, and Colleen. The race was sailed in a strong 
W.S.W. breeze. Double reefs were in order on most of the 
starters, and those which had to journey out of Gravesend Bay- 
across the ship channel, met a heavy sea, which stopped all 
headway at times, and gave them a very wet time of it. The 
event was marred by a misunderstanding in the starting signals, 
the yachts being sent away by the system in general use at the 
Sea Gate organization, and not by the one under which the 
three other championship events of this season have been con- 
ducted. 
Starters in Classes M and N went out to West Bank Light and 
return, doing the distance twice, making a total of 12 nautical 
miles. It was windward work going out and a spinnaker run 
home to Sea Gate. In the spirited weather conditions Red Wing 
showed superiority over Vivian II. and Maydic, and won out by 
a good margin. Era also> proved herself a better sea boat than 
Bagheera, winning handily. The other craft in the race twice 
covered the usual Association course, making an aggregate dis- 
tance of 7 nautical miles. It was a reach to Fort Hamilton, an- 
other reach to the Marine and Field Club, a close-hauled leg to 
the stakeboat off Ulmer Park, and windward work home. 
The misunderstanding of the starting signals caused confusion, 
especially in Class Q. Some of the craft waited for the Associa- 
tion time of sending them off, and consequently got away con- 
siderably later than the gun under the Atlantic Y. C. system. 
Among these were Ogeemah, Miss Judy, Karma and Cicada. The 
former, however, sailed very fast, and was a winner in her class, 
despite the handicap at the beginning. Lizana scored a clever 
victory over Naiad in Class P, being sailed in expert manner 
from start to finish. Red Wing broke the jaws of her gaff, but 
was not obliged to withdraw from the contest. Maydic, Cicada 
and the catboat Rascal did not finish the race. The summaries

off Marblehead on Saturday, Aug. 27, in a light S.E. breeze. In 
the 18-footers, Fudge took the lead soon after the start and held 
it all over the course.. The wins in the handicap classes were all 
easy, going to Cossack, Sally VII. and Khalifa respectively. The

The annual Y. R. A. open race of the Plymouth Y. C. was 
sailed in a reefing S.W. breeze. Medric got the start in the 22- 
footers, and led to the first mark, when Peri II, went out ahead 
and led to the finish. The 18-footers were well bunched until the 
windward leg, when Hayseed went out ahead, with Menace sec- 
ond. Soon after the windward mark had been turned, Hayseed's 
mast went by the board, and Menace led to the finish. Poca- 
hontas was an easy winner in the first handicap class. Challenge 
finished first in the second handicap class, but lost to Alice on

Huguenot Y. C* 
New Rochelle, L. I. Sound— Saturday, Aug. 20. 
Boisterous weather conditions rather spoiled the tenth annual 
regatta of the Huguenot Y. C, sailed on Saturday, Aug. 20. 
Nearly thirty boats were entered for the event, and but six actually 
started; of this number only three finished. 
The programme provided for nine classes, but only two filled, 
the raceabout class and the 25ft. class. 
None of the club's regular regatta committee were present, but 
Messrs. Harry C. Ward, G. W. Kean and J. E. Sanborn kindly 
consented to act, and the race was. admirably handled. 
The course was from the starting fine off the eastern end of 
Whortleberry Island; thence to red and black buoy off north- 
easterly end of Execution Rock, bearing S.E. by E. ; thence 1o 
red spar buoy off southwesterly end of Hen and Chickens Reef, 
bearing N. ; thence to mark boat at starting line, bear'ng S.W. 
This course was covered three times, making a total distance of 
11% miles. There was a nasty sea on, and with the strong S.W. 
breeze, the boats had a reach to the first mark,, a beat to the 
second, and then another reach., :; 
The raceabouts were sent away first, at 1:40. Tartan was first, 
off, followed by Hobo and The Kid. Tartan drew away from 
Hobo, and the latter boat dropped The Kid, so that ot the , end . 
of the first round Tartan was lm. 30s. in the lead of Hobo and 
Hobo was- 2m. ahead of The Kid. Hobo cut down. Tartan's lead 
somewhat on the second round, but the former was never in 
danger of losing the race. On the third round Tartan drew ahead 
again, and finished a winner. The Kid withdrew. 
The 25-footers were started at 1:45. Wintje was first away, fol- 
lowed by Heron and Reverie. At the end of the first round 
Wintje led Heron by 2s. Reverie split her jib and withdrew. On 
the second, round Heron carried away her starboard spreader, 
and in order to save her mast, Mr. P. Le Boutillier, the boat's 
owner, was forced to withdrew. Wintje finished alone. The 
summary :
