Larchmont Y« C. 
Larchmont, Long Island Sound. 
Race week at Larchmont is the most important series of events 
given on Long Island Sound. This year the racing com- 
menced on Saturday, July 15, and will continue for one week, 
Sunday excepted. 'J he Sound racing fleet has been augmented by 
the entry of a number of the crack Gravesend Bay craft, it is 
seldom that the Gravesend Bay boats participate in the racing on 
the Sound, and this year the visiting craft will add much to the 
interest of the matches. 
The big boats are conspicuous by their absence, the 70-footers 
being the only craft of any size to participate. On one day Mira, 
a 37tt. waterline boat, was the largest craft to start. This state 
of affairs tells only too plainly that racing in the big classes is 
dead. 
First Day — Saturday, July 15. 
To the casual observer Saturday was a perfect racing day, but 
those who participated in the match found that the Iresh N.W. 
wind that held throughout the race had many soft places, and 
tliat, besides being puify, failed to hold true. These conditions 
put some of the laggards well up with the leaders in some in- 
stances, a place they really did not deserve, and in other cases it 
niilitated against some fast boats and clever skippers, whose craft 
should have ivon. It was a pleasant, but a trying, racing day, 
and all the skill of the skippers and crews was required to make 
any kind of a showing. 
The course for the larger craft was from the starting line off 
Hen and Chickens, to Parsonage Point buoy, thence to Weeks 
Point buoy and back to the starting line, distance 9% miles. 
1 he 70-footers covered this course three times, making a total 
distance of 2011 miles. The 40ft. sloops, the 33ft. sloops and yawls, 
and the New York Y. C. one-design boats covered the course 
twice, a distance of 19^^ miles. All the other craft went over a 
10^/^-mile triangle. '1 he first leg of all courses was a close reach, 
the second a spinnaker run, and the third a beat. 
The 70-footers got away at ll:-40, with Mineola in the weather 
berth. Mineola increased her lead on the first two legs while 
reaching and running, but when it came to the turn out to wind- 
y.-ard it w.as another story. Mi*eola with her long gatf and big 
jackyard topsail cannot sail on a taut bowline as well as the Max- 
well boat. At the end of th*l first round Mineola was leading 
by 4m. 60s. On the second round the Maxwell boat had cut the 
lead down to 2ni., and at tji^b finish she was only 46s. behind. 
Yankee’s gains had been stfeldy and marked, but were not suf- 
ficient to even make the outcome a question. 
Mira had no competitor in her class, and sailed over the course 
alone. She has a most perftet smit of sails this season, and it is 
too bad she has no one to sail with. Acushla was entered against 
her, but did not start.. 
Memory and Sakana were the only starters in the yawl class. 
The racing between these boats was close enough to have some 
interest. Memory won by lin. 56s. 
In Class N it was more of a procession than a race, and 
Mimosa III.’s win was too easy to be interesting. Regina was 
second, a long way behind the leader, and Bobtail, one of the 
Gravesend Bay boats, was a poor third. It must be said in Bob- 
tail’s favor that she is essentially a light-weather craft, and the 
fresh breeze was a little too strong for her. 
The New York Y. C. one-design boats were sent away at 11:60, 
and all carried full sail, except Phryne, which boat had one reef 
tied down, and she suffered in consequence on the first round. 
As she started around the second time it was shaken out. 
The N. Y. Y. C. boats W’ere well bunched around the starting 
line, and as there were fourteen of them the maneuvering was 
highly exciting. Alera was first away, followed by Phryne, 
Nautilus, Banzai, Neola II., Atair, Cara Mia Maid of Mendon, 
Oriole, Dahinda, Pintail, Ibis, Adelaide, and Minx, as named. 
Alera held her lead to the first mark, but on the next round Mr. 
Addison Hanan had his spinnaker drawing on Nautilus before 
most of the others had theirs on deck, and made a useful gain. 
Nautilus did not take the lead, however, until the windward leg, 
and her owner, sailing his boat in peerless style, put her' in the 
lead which she held from that time on. 
At the end of the first round Nautilus had a nice lead. Alera 
sailed by Jimmie Alker, was also doing good work, and she 
was dangerous all through the race. On the second round Nau- 
tilus lost her spinnaker. In getting the sail in at the second 
mark, one of the paid hands let the halliard go, and the sail 
came down on the run and went overboard and under the boat. 
After vain efforts to save the sail, it was cut adrift in order to keep 
in first place. This accident caused sufficient delay to allow Alera, 
Phryne and Atair to come up and almost pass Nautilus. She, 
however, held first place, and finished a winner by just 30s. Alera 
was second, Phryne third and Atair fourth. 
Eleven boats started in the raceabout class, and after a closely 
contested race. Tartan won. Nora was second, 4m. 17s. behind. 
Mystral was dismasted. She was towed into the harbor. No one 
was hurst. Howdy did not finish. 
Of the four starters in Class P, two finished. Rascal disposed 
of Snapper easily, and wen by a big margin. 
Thelema beat her only competitor. Firefly, by nearly 10m. in the 
special 27ft. class. 
The, Class Q boats were a feature, and More Trouble dis- 
tinguished herself by winning in conditions under which she is 
not supposed to perform advantageously. Saetta slipped home 
in second place. Quest was third and Ojigwan fourth. The other 
four entries in this class were all Sound boats, and were all hand- 
somely beaten by the Gravesend Bay boats. 
Dorothy won in the Larchmont 21ft. class, and Kenoshi trimmed 
Wawa, her only other competitor in the Indian Harbor one-design 
class. 
In the 18ft. class Ace won and Onioo was second. Fannie ran 
away from Fritter in the Milton Point 15ft. one-design class, and 
Gloomy Gus finished alone in the Horseshoe Harbor one-design 
class.

Second Day — Monday, July 17. 
There were fifty-three starters in the second day’s racing^ and 
all but three finished. The winners were Mira (sailover). Mimosa 
III., Cara Mia, Rascal, Thelema, Tartan, Vaquero, More Trouble, 
Kenosha, Quinsigamond, Fritter, Dod and Ace. 
The light S. W. air that blew in fitful puffs in the morning 
strengthened when starting time came, and the boats had a good 
sailing breeze throughout the race. It was a very hot wind, but a 
very welcome one. 
The Maxwell family was not represented in the racing, as neither 
Yankee or Phryne were on hand. Mineola having no competitor 
in the 70ft. class, remained at anchor all day in the harbor. 
Mira had been promised a competitor and started, but she had 
no one to race against. It is very disappointing to her owner to 
go out to the line each day with his boat in racing shape and 
have no competitor, particularly when Effort, Dorwina and 
Katonah are all in the harbor. These boats are all old rivals 
of Mira’s, and are racing boats with the possible exception of 
Katonah, yet they will not start. Mira sailed twice over an 11% 
mile course alone. Mimosa III. and Regina her only competitor 
covered the same course. The first leg was a spinnaker run, the 
second a beat and the third a close fetch. Mimosa III. had 
an easy time with Regina and won by a big margin. It is very 
sportsmanlike of Mr. Francis G. Stewart to continue to race his 
boat Regina against Mimosa III., when he knows he has little 
or no chance of winning. Alert and Nike seemed to have pulled 
out of the racing for good. 
Fourteen of the New York Y. C. one-design boats gave the 
best racing of the day. Banzai was first away followed by Cara 
Mia, Nautilus, Alera, Neola II., Pintail, Atair, Dahinda, Maid of 
Mendon, Minx, Oriole, Ibis, Adelaide and Linnet. It was a 
6-mile run to the first mark, and Nautilus soon worked out a 
useful lead. She rounded a series B mark by mistake and lost 
some time thereby. When 'she finally squared away on her 
course again a number of the bunch ran by. This mistake cost 
Nautilus dear, and after having- the race well in hand, she 
finished in sixth place. Cara Mia and Banzai were particularly 
well handled by their owners and finished first and second 
respectively. 
There were only two starters in the 27ft. class and Rascal won 
easily. These boats went twice over a 6%-mile course. At the 
end of the first round Rascal led by nearly 5m., and she won by 
8m. 20s. 
Thelema repeated her performance of Saturday in the 27ft. 
special sloop class, and defeated Firefly by 6m. 15s. 
Tartan beat her nine competitors, as usual, but the racing in 
the raceabout class was of a high order. Rascal II. got second 
and Cricket third. Pretty Quick was sailed by Ned Horton, one 
of the well-known Marblehead racing men. Mr. Horton had 
never raced at Larchmont before, nor had he ever sailed Pretty 
Quick previously, yet he managed to bring her home in fourth 
place. , 
Vaquero had an easy win in the Larchmont 21ft. class. Houri 
was, second. 
Four of the Gravesend Bay boats started in the 22ft.. sloop class. 
More Trouble got away in the lead and won the race by a good 
margin. Saetta was third and Ojigwan third. 
Kenosha again won in her class, beating both her competitors 
easily. 
Gloomy Gus withdrew in the Horseshoe Harbor one-design 
class and Quinsigamond finished alone. 
Fritter defeated Fannie easily. Dod finished alone, as Clutha 
withdrew. Ace beat Hamburg in the 18ft. sloop class.

Manhasset Bay Challenge C«p Races. 
Rye, Long Island Sound— July 10, 11 and 12. 
Fhe third series of races for the Manhasset Bay Challenge cup 
given this year by the American Y. C., were held on the above 
date.s. The holder of the trophy attracted less interest than the 
previous two. The reason for this was because the defending club 
gave little or no publicitiy to the event, and few beside those 
directly interested knew even when the races were to be held. 
The races this year were for class N boats, and as there were 
few speedy craft of this size available, it was only natural there 
were but few chaHenges. It was suggested that the size of 
boats eligible be increased to admit the new New York Y. C. 
one-design craft, and had this been dons there would have been 
many more entries, and the races would have aroused the interest 
they did the first year, 1903. 
The three boats. Mimosa III., Alert, and Nike, that partici- 
pated in the series this year enjoyed some fine racing, and they 
were fortunate in having clear weather and fresh breezes on all 
three days. 
The races were in charge of three particularly competent men. 
Mr. George A. Cormack represented the American Y. C., and 
Mr. Walter G. Kerr represented the Manhasset Bay Y. C. These 
two selected a third man, Mr. Oliver E. Cromwell, a member of 
the Regatta Committee of the New York Y. C. 
All three of the boats were designed and built by the Herre- 
sboff Mfg. Co., and Alert and Nike have participated in all the 
races that have been held for the cup since it was donated. 
Mimosa III. is the latest boat of the trio. 
First Race — Monday, July 10. 
A windward and leeward course was selected for the day, in 
accordance with the requirements. The starting line was off 
Government buoy A, off Parsonage Point, to a mark off Mr. 
Howard Gould’s private dock at Port Washington, L. I., and 
return, a distance of 8 miles, 'which was covered twice. The wind 
was fresh from the S. by W., making the first leg a beat. The 
starting signal was given at 1:10, and all three boats crossed on the 
starboard tack. Mimosa III. w'as first away, with Nike 3s. behind. 
Alert crossed 16s. behind Mimosa III. 
Mimosa III. and Nike were sailed by their owners, but Alert 
was handled by Mr. George A. Corry, w'ho had never sailed the 
boat before. Mr. Corry is an amateur of abilitiy and he deserves 
great credit for the way in which he sailed Alert in all three races. 
Alert went about on the port tack immediately, but was soon 
put back to starboard. The tide was running ebb. The star- 
board tack was held by all three boats until they were well on the 
Long Island beach. Mimosa III. was turning out to windward 
like a witch, and in the prevailing conditions the other boats were 
clearly no match for her. A couple of hitches when near the 
mark sufficed to bring the boats around. The times for that leg' 
follow: 
Start. Weath,“r Mark. Elapsed. 
Mimosa 1 10 00 1 68 35 0 48 36 
Nike 1 10 00 2 01 30 0 51 30 
Alert 1 10 00 2 02 38 0 52 38 
Mimosa III. had gained 2m. 65s. on Nike, and 4m. 3s. on Alert. 
Spinnakers were set to starboard. Mimosa III.’s crew got their 
sail on the smartest, but she was sailing w'ith her regular crew. 
Alert gained 13s. on her two opponents on this leg. On the run 
Nike smashed a part of her gaff jaws, but temporary repairs were 
made which enabled her to keep on. The following table gives 
the time for the second leg; 
Nike 
Mimosa III.

1 58 36 2 34 50 0 36 15 
2 02 38 2 38 40 0 36 02 
Mimosa_ III. increased her lead on the second windward leg, and 
she was in^ a class by herself. F'he race was betwepn Alert and 
Nike, and it proved to be a very interesting one. Nike has had 
l.OOOlbs. of lead taken from her keel and is sailing in fine form. 
The times for the second windward leg follow: 
Leeward Mark. Weather Mark. Elapsed. 
Mimosa III 2 34 60 3 23 45 0 48 66 
Nike 2 37 46 3 32 45 0 54 49 
Alert 2 38 40 3 33 37 0 64 67 
Spinnakers were set to port this time. Shortly after roundmg, 
something parted aloft on Mimosa III., and her spinnaker came 
down on the run. It was soon reset, however, and less than five 
minutes had been lost in making repairs. 
Alert gybed over and set her spinnaker to starboard when 
nearly down to the finish. Nike also gybed over, b'lt did not
