Atlantic Y. C. 
Sea Gate, L. I.— Sept. 1-3. 
The series of four open races was started by the Atlantic Y.C. on 
the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 1. Prizes were offered under the 
usual conditions, to winners in each event, and also to the craft 
making the best record on points for the entire series. In the 
system employed the first boat gets 16 points, the second 11, the 
third 7, the fourth 4, the fifth 2, and the sixth, 1 point. 
First Race — Thursday, Sept. 1. 
The first race on Thursday was sailed under ideal conditions. 
A whole sail breeze from the S.E. blew from the rstart to finish. 
There was plenty of windward work for all classeg. Eleven craft 
entered, all but one of which finished. The winners on corrected 
time were Maydic, Bagheera, Naiad and Ogeemah. 
Starters in classes M and N had a reach to Craven Shoal buoys, 
a beat to Buoy No. 6, about a mile to the E. of West Bank Light, 
and a run home to the start, off Sea Gate. The distance was 
covered twice, aggregating 14 knots. The smaller craft sailed the 
regular Association course, leaving all marks to port. It was a 
reach to Ulmer Park, a run with spinnakers set to the Marine and 
Field Club, a close reach to Fort Hamilton, and a beat home. 
The course was sailed twice, aggregating 2 knots. The summary:

Second Race — Friday, Sept. 2. 
In the second race, sailed on Thursday, there were, besides the 
boats competing in the initial contest, D. S. Wylie's Lizana and 
Max Grundner's Mary. Spots did not start, making an even 
dozen craft entered in the event. The breeze was light from the 
S.E. The winners on corrected time were Maydic, Bobtail, 
Lizana and Ogeemah. The competitors sailed the courses as 
covered the first day, and with the wind in the same quarter, each 
5eg offered the same proposition as encountered. The struggle 
among the boats sailing the outside course was ended after one 
round. There was a slight mix-up of starting signals. Ogeemah 
was the only craft going over at the proper time, and the race 
committee decided to time her at the signal on which she crossed 
and not disqualify the others. The summary:

Third Race— Saturday, Sept. 3. 
Additional starters in the third event on Saturday besides those 
already mentioned were S. E. Vernon's Vivian II., and D. D. 
Allerton's Miss Judy. Spots was again an absentee. The winners 
on corrected time were Maydic, Bobtail, Lizana and Miss Judy. 
A fine wholesail breeze from the S.E. favored the racers. Courses 
were sailed with all marks left to starboard. Boats in classes M 
and N went twice cut to West Bank light; from there to Craven 
Shoal, and home to the start, off Sea Gate. The first leg was a 
close reach; the second a run, and the third another reach home. 
The whole distance was figured at 15 knots. The smaller craft 
sailed the regular Association course, and was a run to Fort 
Hamilton, a close reach to the Marine and Field Club mark, 
windward work to Ulmer Park and a reach home. Twice around 
the course, figured 7 knots, Ogeemah protested Mary, and 1 rouble 
took the same action against Careless. Both protests were on the 
"starboard tack" grounds. The standing on points for the series 
prizes at the end of the third day was as follows: 
Class M— Maydic, 48; Red Wing, 33. Class N— Bobtail, 46; 
Bagheera, 38. Class P— Naiad, 34; Lizana, 32; Bonito, 26; Smoke,

Southern Y. C. 
Lake Pontchartrain, La— Saturday, Aug. 27. 
The triangular cup race between Chewink III. Calypso and 
Invader, sailed over the course of the Southern Y. C, at New 
Orleans^ was won by the first named after a closely finished 
C °At e the start there was a very light air, Chewink and Invader 
finding soft spots, so that they barely held steerage-way and 
thev were compelled to take handicaps of 4m. 30s. and 5m. 12s. 
respectively. Calypso seemed to sail better than ever before 
in a light weather, and crossing the starting line with good way 
on she ghosted ahead fast. A change had been made in her 
ballasting seemingly for the better, and she was also using live 
weight about a thousand pounds of lead having been left ashore 
and her crew of seven was increased to fourteen heavy men. 
The wind continued light and baffling, and at times there was 
none at all. When half way over the second leg^ of the 5-rrule 
triangle Calypso was thought to have a lead of about 6m. She 
had tacked out into the lake and Chewink had been permitted 
to split tacks and stand in shore, until fully 2 miles separated 
them Invader was third boat, and she held a position in tack- 
ing between the two. It was a toss up where the next breeze 
was coming from, there being indications both to N and S. 
It came from the S., off shore, and the result was that Chewink 
had an easy lay, after getting it first by some time, for the next 
stake Chewink beat Calypso to it by 4m., and Invader was 
exactlv 4m. behind the second boat. On the reach over the next 
side of the triangle to the home stake Chewmk gained just Is. 
on Calypso, while Invader fell back more than 2m. When the 
yachts were on the second leg of the triangle there was a second 
shift in the wind, and this time it came from the opposite direc- 
tion—that is N. It came in the shape of a howling ram squall 
with a velocity of close to 30 miles an hour. Again Chewink 
was to windward. She was so far. ahead that time was taken to 
reef while the skippers of the other two chanced carrying full 
sail 'through it, a desperate stern chase, truly. Chewink rounded 
the next turn and squared for home just 2m. ahead of Calypso, 
and the latter got there 7m. 15s. sooner than Invader, which 
boat was now being handled with eased peak. She had the most 
difficult performance at this time, as she had a longer way to 
beat up in the teeth of the squall and through steeper water 
to fetch the outer mark. All three yachts finished the 10 wiles 
in impressive style, Chewink leading Calypso by lm. 12s. and 
Invader by 7m. 6s. 
As usual after the race the crews of the competing yachts, 
the Regatta Committee and invited guests dmed together in the 
best of fellowship. It is to be hoped that these friendly contests 
will continue a while, for the advent of these yachts has certainly 
brought the southern yachting fever to a register of high degree, 
and the growing interest in the sport is something to be proud 
of, indeed. The summary:

Glen Cove, L. I. Sound — Tuesday, Aug. 30. 
The 70-footcrs Yankee, Rainbow, and Virginia sailed the first 
of a series of sweepstake races on Tuesday,. Aug. 30. Yankee won, 
beating Rainbow 4m. 29s. and Virginia 11m. 36s. 
The Regatta Committee was on board the steam yacht Free 
Lance, which boat was turned over for their use by Mr. F. 
Augustus Schermerhorn, the owner. The start was made off 
Mott's Point, where Free Lance anchored at 12:30. The breeze 
was fresh E.N.E., and course signals were soon displayed. The 
boats covered a 21% mile triangle. The first leg was N.E. 10 
miles, the second W.S.W. 7% miles, and the third S%W. 4 miles. 
This gave the boats a beat, a spinnaker run and a close reach. 
The three contestants came to the line with jackyard topsails 
alcft, but this gave them too much sail for comfort, and all sub- 
stituted working topsails. Mr. Harry Maxwell was at the wheel 
on Yankee, while on the other two boats the owners were in 
charge. 
The preparatory was given at 1:15, and 10 minutes later the start- 
ing signal was heard. Yankee was first away, lis. after the gun, 
BRENTON S REEF CUP. 
Virginia following 4s. later. Rainbow held back and took full ad- 
vantage of the two minute time limit. When she did cross, she 
was handicapped lis. 
All the boats tacked inshore. Yankee opened up the gap on 
her competitors steadily, and Rainbow pulled up on Virginia 
and crossed her bow at half-past two. As the boats gybed around 
the first mark they were timed as follows: Yankee, 2:51:15; Rain- 
bow, 2:56:20; Virginia, 2:59:55. 
Booms were eased off to starboard and spinnakers were set to 
port. On the run to the second mark off Parsonage Point, Yankee 
beat Rainbow 38s., and Virginia 2m. 3s. The times at the second 
mark were: Yankee, 3:14:15; Rainbow, 3:46:58; Virginia, 3:15:58. 
Reaching jibtopsails were set for the close fetch to the finish 
line. Yankee continued to increase her lead, and finished at 
4:05:15. The summary:

Ecfgewood Y. C. 
Narragansett Bay, R. I.— Saturday, Sept. 3. 
The first of a series of three fall club regattas was held by the 
Edgewood Y. C. Saturday afternoon, Sept. 3. Not much interest- 
was displayed in the first event, for, although the weather con- 
ditions were perfect, there were but five entries. These were in 
two classes and both put up some very pretty racing, despite 
their thinness. 
Only two of the 30ft. cats entered. Mblem led Elizabeth over 
the starting line by 10s. and maintained a lead throughout, finish- 
ing 33s. ahead. The two boats were well handled and it was a 
nip-and-tuck affair from start to finish. Three 15-footers formed 
the other class, and they also made a scrappy little race, Seamory 
winning out by a little less than a minute. The 30-footers were 
sent 4 miles to windward and return, while the little fellows had 
a course a trifle under 5 miles. The wind was almost due S. 
and a rattling two-reef breeze at the start, but before the finish 
it lightened to some extent, and the 30-footers were able to shake 
out their reefs and finish under full sail. The summary:

Providence, R. I. — Sept. 3. 
With all the talk of another challenge for the America's cup 
for next season, and the gossip of the challenger to be built 
during the coming winter for Sir Thomas Lipton, people in 
Bristol are begining to be interested. Of course, the main in- 
terest in Bristol, aside from the sport of the race itself, is in the 
expectation of an order for a new defender being placed with the 
Herreshoffs, in the event of a challenge being sent over here and 
accepted. As usual, the Herreshoffs themselves are saying very 
little about the matter, but it is understood that they are pre- 
pared to begin work should an order be received, and whether 
the boat should be built under the rule in use for several years 
past or under the new rule adopted by the New York Y. C., it 
is said that the Bristol designer has the lines of both types pretty, 
well in hand, and would be prepared to undertake the task with- 
out delay. Should a new boat of the Reliance type be desired, 
she will be likely to prove some five minutes faster on a 30-mile 
course than the last cup defender built. 
Indian Harbor Y. C. 
Greenwich, L. I. Sound— Saturday, Sept. 3. 
^ The fall regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. C. was- sailed on 
Saturday, Sept. 3. The Regatta Committee, composed of Messrs. 
Frank Bowne Jones, Charles E. Simms and Thomas J. McCahill, 
were on board Mr. W. R. Procter's steam yacht Margaret. The 
start was scheduled for noon, but lack of wind made a two-hour 
postponment necessary. The wind finally came in from the E., 
then veered to S.E., and finally steadied itself in the S., from 
which quarter it blew a good sailing breeze. 
Margaret established the starting line off Great Captain's Island, 
and the preparatory was given at 2:30. The three 70-footers were 
sent away 5m. later. Mr. J. Roger Maxwell had the wheel on 
Yankee, and Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., steered Virginia. In the 
absence of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mr. Newberry D. Lawton 
was in charge of Rainbow. Mr. George A. Cormack and Mr. H. 
De B. Parsons were also on board. The seventies crossed on the 
port tack. Yankee led, followed by Virginia and Rainbow. All 
three soon took the starboard tack, but Rainbow soon went back 
to the port tack again. Yankee and Virginia caught the S.E. 
breeze first and drew away from Rainbow. 
Virginia led at the first mark, and Yankee was 20s. astern. On 
the second leg Yankee passed Virginia, and from that time on 
was never headed. She beat Virginia 3m. 50s. and Rainbow 7m. 
55s. 
At 2:45 the 36-footers started. Spasm drew well ahead, and beat 
Mimosa III. over 3m. over the 15-mile course. Anoatok finished 
third, 35s. behind Mimosa III. 
In the 36ft. class for yawls, the cruiser Escape tried conclusions 
with the smart racing craft Memory. Memory beat Escape 7m. 54s. 
elapsed time. 
Nike had no competitor in the 30ft. sloop class, and she took a 
sailover. 
Eight starters in the raceabout class made matters lively. These 
boats covered a 10-mile triangle, and Rascal was the winner; 
Busy Bee was second. 
There were four starters in the 25ft. sloop class. Snapper beat 
Maryola 5m. 32s. Heron was third. Firefly had a run of ill-luck 
and finished last, which is rather unusual. 
Wa Wa beat Owatonna lm. 13s. in the Indian Harbor one- 
design class. Anawanda was third. 
In the 18ft. sloop class Louie Bell had no competitor, and she 
withdrew. 
Two Chesapeake Buckeyes sailed in a special class. Dorothy II. 
won by 2m. 46s.. 
The cruising yawls Maya and Peggy sailed a match race, and 
Maya won easily from Peggy by 8m. 23s.
