Knicfccfbockef Y. C 
College Point, Long Island Sound— Saturday, June 3. 
The annual race of the Knickerbocker Y. C. was sailed on 
Saturday, June 3, in a fresh N.W. breeze. Out of thirty-two 
starters, all but ooe boat finished. 
The boats in the 27ft. class and above covered a 12-mile triangle, 
while the starters in the three smaller classes sailed over a 10-mile 
triangle. 
The Uegatta Committete were on board the steamer Favorite, 
which vessel anchored off the read and black buoy to the north- 
ward of Execution Light.- 
The 40ft. sloops were sent away at 12:10. Paiute II., the only 
modern boat in the trio, ran away from her adversaries and won 
by a big margin. 
The sloop Leda had no competitor and sailed in the 35ft. 
yawl class against Escape and Memory. Leda won in her class, 
and also takes the Miladi cup, which she won last year on the 
same occasion. The cup she now owns outright, having won it 
two consecutive seasons. Memory proved too much for Escape, 
an out and out cruising boat, and she was beaten by some 
minutes. 
Twelve starters in the New York Y. C. one-design class made 
the racing lively and interesting. Harry Maxwell captured his 
first winning flag with Phryne. Cara Mia and Nautilus got away 
together, followed in the order named by Alera, Maid of Mendon, 
Dahinda, Neola II., Phryne, Carlita, Altair, Ibis, Adelaide and 
Banzai. All the boats crossed within 30s. of one another. It was 
a beat to the first mark off Parsonage Point and the fleet were 
well strung out soon after the start. It was a spinnaker run 
across to the second mark off Matinicock Point, and Phryne 
was leading then by ovbr half a minute. Phryne won by 37s., and 
Cara Mia was second. 
The 27ft. sloops crossed as follows: Snapper, Pascal, Firefly and 
Thelema, but the last boat drew into the lead and beat Rascal 
by over a minute. 
Invader, Jr., got the start in the Raceabout class over the 
line and Mystral, Pretty Quick and Tartar followed. The old 
champion Tartan proved too smart for her rivals, and finished 
nearly 4m. ahead of Mystral, the second boat. 
Houri won in the Larchmont one-design class and Rogue took 
a first in the 22ft. class. 
The Regatta Committee was composed of Oscar H. Chellborg, 
Harry Stevenson, F. L. Kramer, I. O. Sinkinson and W. B. 
Goddard, Jr.

Columbia Y* C. 
Hudson River — Saturday, June 3. 
Eighteen power craft of more or less prominence raced over 
triangular courses off the Columbia Y. C. on the Hudson River 
on Saturday, June 3. The two larger classes went three times 
over a 6-mile triangular course. The first mark was ofi: Fort 
Lee and the second off Sixty-sixth street. The starting line 
was directly off the club house. 
Challenger allowed Panhard II. 12m. 37s. under the A. P. B. 
Assn. rules. She was unable to save her time and was beaten 
by 5m. Is. Challenger's performance was a very creditable one 
and she went over the course on an average of 2m. 38.7s. per 
mile, which is at the rate of 22.6 knots an hour. 
In classes T and S, Colonia, the smallest of the trio, made a 
good showing and defeated Shooting Star and Mercury on cor- 
rected time. 
Argonaut won in the class for cabin craft by Im. 56s. Beldame, 
which boat had to allow Argonaut 10m. 14s., was second. 
Queen Bess won by over 4m. in classes G and H. 
Simplex was first in her class, and Charmary was second. 
Reliance defeated Gesmah easily in class J. The summary follows:

Monday, June 20. 
As SOON as the sifn was up we turned out for the last 
time into the faint warmth of its first rays, blowing on 
our fingers to keep them warm until the camp-fire was 
started. The Scribe brought down the derision of the 
rest of the party by being the last to get up, about fifteen 
minutes after the others. The least comfortable part of 
the day's work was always before breakfast, when we 
were just out of our comfortable beds into the cold, damp^ 
morning air, sleepy, hungry and sometimes a bit cold 
and stiff. Getting into one's clothes when they are damp 
and clammy from the wettings of the day before is not 
the most delightful sensation in the world, and this opera- 
tion was generally accomplished with grunts of disgust 
from the victims. One or two nights a couple of the 
sleeping bags were wet in places, but we managed to shift 
the available inner bags about so as to avoid actual dis- 
comfort to the unlucky ones. 
Breakfast at Camp Iris was soon over and we packed 
up reluctantly for the start, the crew of the Mic-Mac 
doing the dishwashing. As usual, this was quickly and 
easily accomplished by filling the tin oven with hot water, 
adding Pearline, and using it as a dishpan. This scheme 
did away entirely with the bother of greasy plates, and 
even that arch-nuisance of the pack bag— the frying-pan — 
was quickly reduced to a state of immaculate purity by 
the use of a chain scourer and the hot suds. We found 
rough water in one or two of the rifts after leaving Camp 
Iris, but we were getting used to this kind of work and 
did effective work with snubbing-poles, holding back the 
canoes in the swift water and fending off from the threat- 
ening rocks. The bow man used the pole, the stern man 
doing the steering and steadying the boat with a paddle. 
We had broken our spare paddles by this time, so the twO' 
which Louis left us came in very handy. 
In spite of our skill, however, this morning saw the 
worst accident of the trip, about the middle of the fore- 
noon, when Charles and Carl came to grief in running 
a broad strexh of rapids by striking on a submerged rock, 
which they iriistook for a wave in the midst of the tur- 
moil. The Mic-Mac had gotten safely through and its 
crew were looking for trouble ahead, when they heard a 
faint "coo-ee" above the noise of the rapids, and, turning 
quickly, saw the others struggling in the water far out in 
the current. The Mic-Mac was run ashore at once, the 
duffle was tumbled quickly out, and the crew hastened 
with the empty boat to the rescue. They tried to pole 
against the current, but it was too swift, making progress 
very slow. Tow lines were then gotten out and, with 
Arthur at the bow and the Scribe at the stern, more speed 
was made, although the irregular nature of the shore 
made this hard work. In fact, Arthur missed his foot- 
ing, being carried down stream still holding the bow line. 
In the meantime, the others were having all sorts of 
trouble trying to save the duffle and the boat. It was too 
deep^ to reach shore by wading, and Ca,rl attempted to 
bring two sleeping bags ashore by swimming with them. 
We passed him as we came up the shore, and stopped 
long enough to throw him a rope, hauling him out a 
couple of hundred feet below his starting point. He 
shouted to us that they had struck so hard that both of 
them were thrown clear out of the boat, and it was now 
jammed too tightly for them to move. The rescue party 
worked their way up stream to a line of boulders which 
made out into the river above the rock which caused the 
upset, and managed to reach a point directly above 
Charles and the wrecked boat. They then tried to let the 
big canoe down to him by tying the tow-lines together, 
not until Arthur had again slipped into the stream, and 
again been hauled out by his mate. The current was very 
strong and rough, causing the boat to swerve violently 
out of its course, and upon the third attempt tO' get the 
boat to Charles, it was upset by a wave and swept down 
against the rock. Things looked serious for a moment, 
but luckily the big canoe struck the other a violent blow 
which dislodged it, and both boats came down stream, full 
of water, Charles still slinging to his. Just before this 
happened Charles had saved the last pack bag by throwing 
it into the current toward the shore, so that it was car- 
ried down to Carl standing waist deep in the water, and 
then dragged ashore. Arthur and H, N. T. raced down 
the river iDank and waded and swam out to help the others 
save the boats, Arthur and Charles taking charge of the 
red canoe, and Carl and the Scribe the large one. Neither 
boat had suffered mttch damage, the Mic-Mac's gunwales 
were splintered and her .sides battered, but both boats 
were still serviceable and water-tight, thanks to the can- 
vas covers. We then took a hasty inventory of the duffle 
and found many things missing — hats, fishing tackle, tent, 
paddles, etc., which was hardly surprising considering the 
character of the mishap. Arthur and the Scribe hastily 
loaded their canoe and paddled at racing speed down 
stream to head off floating articles, the exercise serving - 
to keep them warm after their long soaking in the river. 
They found the paddles but nothing else, proving the 
violence of the rapids, which had evidently sunk the other 
missing things and jammed them against the rocks and 
hidden ledges. After going about half a mile in a steady, 
strong current, they turned and came slowly back, meet- 
ing the others on the way down. All hands were thor- 
oughly soaked and pretty well tired out by the strenuous 
exertions of the past half hour, so Charles began to think 
of stopping at a convenient spot and lighting a huge fire
