New York Y. C 
Glen Cove, Long Island Sound— Thursday, June 15. 
The fifty-ninth annual regatta of the New York Y. C. was 
sailed off station Mo. 10 at Ulen Cove, on Thursday, June 15. 
Although the wind was light, trom the S. by Vv., all day it 
was fair racing weather, and the conditions were of the sort 
that are frequently encountered on Long island Sound during 
the summer. 
Four Classes filled, and all told there were twenty-two starters. 
The New York Y. C. one-design 30-footers saved the day, and 
had it not been for these boats, the showing would have been 
a poor one. 
The Regatta Committee, consisting of Messrs. Oliver E. Crom- 
well, Chairman; H. de B. Parsons and Ernest E. LoriUard, were 
on board the tug Unique. 
The race was scheduled to start at noon, but the wind was so 
light at that hour, that the start was postponed. The Committee 
boat took up a position off Prospect Point, and the warning 
signal was given at 1:80. 
All the boats covered a 19% nautical mile course, which was as 
follows: From the start oh Mott and Prospect Points, E. by 
N. %N. 3% miles to a mark off Parsonage Point, thence N.E. by 
E. %E. 6Vs miles to a mark off Woolsey's Reef, thence S.W. i/sS. 
Qy^ miles to the finish line. The first leg was a run, the second 
a reach and the third a beat. 
At 1:40 the schooners were started. There were three entries 
in this class, Corona, Katrina and Elmina II. The latter boat 
is the new schooner that was built at the Geo. Lawley & Sons 
Corp. yard, South Boston, from designs by Messrs. A. Cary 
Smith and Ferris, for Mr. Fred. Brewsicr. Eimina 11. crossed m 
the lead. Corona was just one-half a minute behind, with Katrina 
just astern. Balloon jiDtopsails were broken out on all the boats, 
and Corona set a small maintopmast staysail. A few minutes 
after the start something went wrong on Elmina 11., and she 
was gybed over. It was seven minutes belore matters were 
straightened out, and in the meantime Corona had passed her. 
Spinnakers were broken out and Elmina II. ran up on her 
rival somewhat. It was a reach to the second mark and there 
Elmina II. was Im. 55s. behind. After rounding, Corona took 
the starboard tack, while Elmina 11. held a port tack. Later 
Corona went about again. Elmina II. showed her ability to 
go to windward, and slie soon took the lead. From that time 
on they stuck together, and after making three more hitches, 
were able to cross the finish line. Elmina II. beat Corona 
easily and won the Bennett cup for schooners. Elmina II. looks 
something like Muriel and Eimina, but is a far better looking 
craft than either of those creations. In the hands of Captain 
Dennis she should have a long list of winning flags to her 
credit at the end of the season. 
The two "seventies," Mineola and Yankee, were sent away at 
1:45. Yankee was well berthed when the gun sounded and crossed 
well in, the lead of Mineola. A luffing match followed, and after 
a while a gybe was necessary, as they were so far off' their 
course. When near the mark they gybed again, and as they 
rounded they came together. Neither one ol the owners pro- 
tested and no damage was done. Mineola made a substantial 
gain on the reach and at the second mark she led Yankee by 
nearly a minute. Mineola held the port tack until Yankee 
rounded the mark, and then she went about. Alineola did not 
seem to point as high as Yankee and the latter boat finally 
worked into the lead, and won by iim. 14s., also taking the 
Bennett cup for single-masted vessels. 
Mira again demonstrated her ability to beat Mimosa III. and 
Joker, and won by 3m. 29s. Mira has a superb suit of new 
Ratsey sails, and she is going faster and her owner is handling 
her better than e\er before. 
By a mistake the starting signal for the 30-footers was fired 
two minutes early. Banzai was just on the line when the 
gun went off and she slipped over in the lead. Dahinda was 
second. Maid of Mendon was third and Carlita tourth, then came 
Phryne and Nautilus. Several of the boats ran by Banzai on 
the way to the first mark, where there was quite a mix up. 
A number of the boats kept too tar to windward of their course, 
when they bore away for the mark several boats were rounding. 
There was a call for room, and one or two of the boats bumped. 
Banzai had the race well in hand on the windward leg, but she 
stuck to Phryne a little too long, allowing Maid of Mendon to 
slip into the lead. Maid of Mendon won by 'Am. 46s. from Banzai 
and Alera was third. The summary follows:

Atlantic Y. C 
Sea Gate, New York Bay — Tuesday, June 13. 
The presence of the 70-footers Yankee and Mineola, and the 
N. Y. Y. C. 30-footers Phryne and Alera added interest to the 
thirty-ninth annual regatta of the Atlantic Y. C, held on Tues- 
day, June 13, which would otherwise have proven an event for 
only boats having a regular anchorage off Sea Gate or in some 
part of Gravesend Bay. Eighteen craft of all classes started and 
finished the race, the winners being Lasca, Yankee, Phryne, Bob- 
tail, and More Trouble. Lizana scored a sailover. Corrected 
times were not available in the schooner class because of an 
absence of racing measurements. According to what is consid- 
ered a conservative calculation, however, Lasca is given the 
victory, as stated above. 
Yankee and Mineola sailed) a close race throughout. The first 
naKied secured a windward berth at the start and maintained the 
advantage to the end. The boats sailed a course from the start, 
off Sea Gate, to Southwest Spit, thence to Scotland Lightship 
and return over the same route, leaving marks to port on the 
outward journey, and holding to the northward of the bell buoy 
oft' the point of Sandy Hook, both going and returning. It was 
unfortunate that the big sloops and schooners could not have been 
given another course, as with the breeze in the S., there was a 
woeful absence of windward work; nothing but reaches being their 
lot. Yankee finished Im. and 7s. in the lead. 
In the schooner class, which covered the same course of 26 
miles, Lasca got a good start, and finished 26m. and 46s. ahead 
of Quickstep. Wayward was Im. and 54s. later, and should get 
second place on corrected time. Phryne beat Alera by 55s. in the 
race for the N. Y. Y. C. 80s, while Bobtail led the regular Class 
N Boats. Vivian II. was over 4m. late in starting, and third 
boat to finish in the class. Despite this handicap, however, she 
secured second place from Redwing on corrected time. These 
boats went out to^ Southwest Spit and return, a distance of 14 
miles, with again the same old story of no windward work. 
Few regattas are run off without some incident to mar the per- 
fection of the whole. The bete noir of the Atlantic event was 
big and serious, and occurred in the handling of Class Q, in 
which all of the new boats built this year started. A change of 
the course from that originally published in the circular, without 
all of the starters getting the news, proved the first unfortunate 
occurrence. The other was that the brisk southerly wind sent the 
boats out to Old Orchard Shoal and back, a distance of 12^4 
miles, in so speedy a fashion that they finished before the per- 
son left on shore was in position to take accurate times. 
More Trouble was first by a good margin. Cockatoo II. was 
undoubtedly second. Ojigwan and Saetta were so close that 
great doubt exists as to which was ahead, although an eyewitness 
in a cralt ftnchored near the finish slates that the first-named got 
third place. Quest was apparently last, although on this point also 
dcvibt seems to exist. ■ ■ ■ • 
Cockatoo II., Saetta and Quest were partners to an agreement 
to pass to the southward of the bell buoy off West Bank Light 
going and returning from Old Orchard Shoal. This they did. 
Ojigwan and More Trouble sailed according to the instructions, 
not knowing anything about a change. They were protested for 
not taking the right course. Ojigwan was placed fifth in the 
official summary. Her owner entered a protest, claiming third 
place. The owners are to meet in the near future, when all of 
these differences of opinion will be settled, it is hoped, with satis- 
faction to all. The summaries follow:

Boston Y. G 
Hull, Mass. — Saturday, June 17. 
The first Y. R. A. race of the Boston Y. C. was sailed off the 
Hull Station of the club, in Hull Bay, on Saturday, June 17, in 
a moderate to light S.VV. breeze and smooth sea. There were 
fifty-nine entries. In the 22-footers Chewink V., ex-Clotho, got 
the start and turned the first mark in the lead. Nutmeg worked 
out ahead on the windward leg, and turned the second mark 
in the lead. Tyro pulled up on the leaders on the run, Chewink 
V.'s spinnaker pole breaking. Tyro was leading on the first 
round of the course, with Nutmeg second and Rube third. Tyro 
held her lead to the finish, with Rube a close second. Nutmeg 
did not cross the finish line. Mirage II. had the start in the 
18-footers, with Bat second. Bat took the lead before the first 
mark was reached, and held it to the finish, with Bonitwo sec- 
ond and Mirage II. third. There were only two entries in the 
15ft. class Vera II., winning easily. In the Cape cats, Josephine 
was the winner, with Hustler a close second. The first and 
second rating classes were sent away together, the yachts going 
over well bunched. Meemer took the lead in the first class and 
held it to the finish, beating Sauquoit over 2m. on elapsed time, 
with Chewink IV. third. Myrtle wins in this class on cor- 
rected time, pending the measurements of the other boats. 
Chewink IV. and L'Aiglon fouled near the Strawberry Hill mark 
and L'Aiglon entered a protest. In the second class Opah 
finished first, with Jacobin second and Spinster IV. third. Anne 
wins on corrected time, pending official measurements. Zaza II. 
won in the dory class and Tama won in the third class power 
boats, making a very fine showing. The summary:

Bensonhwfst Y. C 
Bensonhurst, New York Bay— Saturday, June 17. 
The first open regatta of the Bensonhurst Y. C. for cups offered 
by prominent members, which was scheduled to occur on the 
afternoon of Saturday, June 17, was postponed because of the 
fog out over the ship's channel, across which the courses for the 
day would take the racers. Commodore Arthur C. Bellows offered 
cups for an informal event, for which a course was selected, taking 
as the first turning mark a schooner anchored off Fort Hamilton 
and a mark boat set off Sea Gate by the Atlantic Y. C. It was 
originally intended to start only the new Class Q boats, which 
were eager for a race, but finally the old creations in the same 
class and two of the Marine and Field R. R. boats were in- 
cluded. By commoa consent no light sails were used. 
In the class for the new creations, Ojigwan did not start. 
Saetta won out in finished fashion because of excellent work on 
the windward leg from Fort Hamilton to Sea Gate. The course 
was covered twice, aggregating about 6% miles. Saetta beat 
Cockatoo II. by 38s. Qtiest was third boat, only 17s. away, but 
was disqualified for fouling Cockatoo 11. on the first round. 
More Trouble finished im. and 25s. after Quest, The race was 
another demonstration of hov/ really Avell matched are these 
creations, built under the new rule by four different designers.

Erie Y. C 
The club held a meeting yesterday and arranged for holding 
a regatta on the Fourth of July, and will sail the usual races in 
July and August. 
They have received a fine addition to the fleet, in the shape of 
a new 40ft. boat that has just been put in the water, it belongs 
to a member of a big paper mill company here, and looks as 
if it might turn out to be a fast one. 
A young man of 18 years of age was drowned in the bay off 
the club house on last Sunday. He and others, who were at work 
on a yacht that lay at anchor about 300 yards off shore, started 
for shore in a small boat that was meant to only carry about 
three, and swamped their boat in water that was almost as 
smooth as a mill pond. He tried to swim back to the yacht, 
and reached it, but could not climb on board; the other four hung 
on to their boat until they were picked up. The club has taken 
notice of this and has passed this resolution: 
"Resolved, That the Erie Y. C. thoroughly discountenances the 
practice of overloading boats, both yachts and their tenders, and 
recommends that hereafter all members exercise the greatest 
care while handling their boats." 
There will be the usual regatta held by the Buffalo Y. C. on 
the Fourth, and it may draw some of the larger boats here to 
take part in it. But it is hoped that enough of them will remain 
at home to put up a good race here as well.
