it was blowing hard and there was a lump of a sea on. The tide 
■.va?' ebb. 
The sfart was made at 1:40, off Scotch Caps. The weather mark 
was the buoy off Mott’s Point. Once around, 8 miles. The 
course was covered twice. 
Mr. Clinton Work sailed Nike in the absence of Mr. Cumnock. 
Four seconds after the whistle Mimosa III. was across. Nike 
was next and Alert last, well behind. All were on the starboard 
tack as they w'ent over, but all took the port, tack as the wind 
freed a litt'e. Mimosa III. simply lost her two rivals on the 
wind, and the race was hers from the start, as had been the other 
,.\ “ ■ ♦ ‘ ^ pr 
■ Nike split tacks with Alert and w’ent off on her own hook ; 
bui ^vea a biunaer and she lost thereby. The times

Mimosa III. overstood the mark, but she had plenty of time in 
which to make blunders. She gybed at the mark, and after round- 
ing gybed her boom back to port and set her spinnaker to star- 
board. Alert was next around, and Nike well behind. The times

Mimosa III. and Alert held the port tack after hauling on the 
wind and benefited, as it was backing to the W. Nike again 
went luck hunting, and experienced the usual misfortunes when 
cn such expeditions. Nike made better time on this leg than 
Alert. The times for the leg:

On the run back to the finish the wind was coming in heavy 
puffs, and those on Mimosa III. took in their spinnaker, in order 
to avoid a possible accident. As she neared the New York shore 
the wind let up a little, and her spinnaker was reset. The times

Corinthian Y. C« 
Marblehead, Mass — Tuesday, July 4. 
An open race was given by the Corinthian Y. C. off Marblehead, 
on Tuesday, July 4, for lating and restricted classes, in which 
there were forty-four starters. The breeze was S. at the start, but 
was S.E. outside, and the boats that were sent to the S. mark' 
had no windward work. Meemer was first to get av.'ay in Class 
M, but Setsu took the lead soon after the start and held it to the 
finish. Opitsah HI. led all the way around in Class P. In the 
22 footers Medric had the start at the windward end of the line. 
All the boats at this end went in under the shore. Tyro crossed 
at the leeward end and stood across to Cat Island, catching the 
S.E. breeze first and taking the lead. At the outer mark she 
was followed by Chewdnk IV. and Medric II., and this order was 
maintained to the finish. Bat started aw'ay first in the 18-footers, 
while the others were hung up at the line in a mix-up, and she 
led all around the course. \ era II. took her usual win in the 
15ft. class. In the special handicap class Tabasco won by a good

Saturday, July 15. 
The third championship race of the Corinthian Y. C. was sailed , 
off Marblehead on Saturday, July 15, in a fresh N.W. breeze. In 
the 22-footers Nutmeg was first across the starting line, but Tyro 
had the weather berth, and she took the lead soon after the start, 
holding it to the finish. Medric I., in this class, was dismasted 
at the outer mark. In the 18ft. class. Hayseed got the start and 
led all over the course. Nibelung won handily in the 15ft. class. 
In Class M, Chewink IV. got the start and led to the outer mark, 
Eastern Y. C» 
Marblehead. Mass.' — Monday, July 3. 
The first of a series of three special open races of the Eastern 
Y. C., was sailed off Marblehead on Monday, July 3, in a very 
light and fluky breeze from the S.W. It was so light at the start 
that the boats drifted across the line. They were sent into the 
wind, S.E., for the first leg, but before they had been long sail- 
ing, the wind hauled to S.W., and they laid the course. The 
breeze later fell again, and the yachts drifted toward the finish 
line, only eleven crossing out of about thirty-five starters. In 
Class M, Meemer got the start and led her class over the whole 
course. In Class N-O, Kit got the start, but soon after. Tyro 
took the lead and held it. Mirage II. got the start in Class O-P, 
but the little Lynn Y. C. one-design 15-footer Winniahdin went 
out ahead in the light air and was first across the finish line.

Tuesday, July 4. 
The second in the Eastern Y. C. series of special open races was 
sailed on Tuesday afternoon, July 4. In this event what started 
out to be good racing was spoiled by falling breeze. All classes 
were given a short course, 4 miles to windward, to the S.E. mark, 
and return, and in a dead on end beat to the outer mark, there 
was as pretty a contest as one could wish to see; but on the last 
half of the course, the wind fell and kept hauling to the south- 
ward, thus spoiling all that the leading boats had accomv>iished. 
In Class M, Meemer had the best of the start in t'nc wt-afher 
berth, and she sailed a beautiful race to the wind ware; roark, 
beating handily the Bar Harbor 31-footer Cricket ainl me Y, R. 
A. 30-footer Chewink IV. When she was held up by ttiv. y.'.)hng 
breeze on the homeward course, she was passed by the hooner 
Redskin. Cricket was given first place on corrected time in this 
class, but it has since been learned that Cricket had assumed 
greater length than Meemer, and the latter is now believed to be 
the winner. In Class N-O, Medric II. got the start, with Rube 
second. Tyro third, and Chewink V. fourth. These four boats had 
a pretty race all the way out, Rube turning the outer mark first, 
closely followed by Chewink V. and Tyro. With a larger spin- 
naker than the others, Chewink V'. led the class across the finish 
line, with Tyro second and Medric II. third. A protest was en- 
tered against Chewink V. for- carrying her larger spinnaker, the 
22 -footers having agreed to race as a class within a class, all 
using spinnaker poles of uniform length. Upon this protest will 
be decided Chewink’s place, although Medric II. is at present 
credited with first on corrected time. Class O-P got away with 
Boo Hoo, Hayseed I., and Bat, 18-footers, at the head of the 
bunch. Boo Hoo led across the finish line, with the 25-foorer 
Carina li. second; but Carina II. is credited with -first on cor- 
rected time. In the following summary all vachts not credited

Power Boats — Tuesday, July 4. 
The power boat races of the Eastern Y. C. sailed on the morn- 
ing of July 4, were not as successful as desired. There were only 
six entries all told, and one of these took a sailover. Essex, a 
first-class boat, sailed with the third-class boats. In this class the 
first three boats finished in the same positions they started. It 
started last and Weewin fourth. The summ&ry:

Beverly Y. C. 
Wing’s Neck, Buzzard’s Bay — Saturday, July 8 . 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its three hundred and sixty-seventh 
regatta from its club house on Saturday, July 8 . The event was 
the first Corinthian race of the season — that is, the first race 
counted for the championship of the club. 
The weather was sornewhat thick all the morning, with a light 
breeze from the S.W. At 1 o’clock, the hour for starting, the 
wind had increased somewhat, so that at times there was a wholes 
sail breeze. Throughout the afternoon, it maintained its direction ' 
fairly constant from the S.W., but its velocity varied greatly, often 
falling to a very light breeze, and again breezing on in sharp 
puffs. _ Fog came with the wind, and during much of the after- 
noon it was impossible to see one-quarter of a mile. 
In the 21ft. class, Quakeress appeared for the first time, but 
as Illusion did not turn up, the number of- entries was the same 
as it has been throughout the season. Commodore Dabney’s 
Terrapin took the lead shortly after the start, and maintained it 
throughout the race. The contest for the other positions, how- 
ever, was often in doubt and afforded good racing.. At first 
Quakeress was in the second place, but she left the other boats 
and stood on a long tack over to the Marion shore, and when 
she met the bunch ag.ain oft' Bird Island, she was in fourth 
place. Barnacle and Amanita III. had a close race all the way to 
the windward mark, in which Barnacle finally won and rounded the 
buoy a short distance ahead of Amanita. From the windward 
mark the boats reached across the bay to Scraggy Neck buoy No. 
8 , and during this reach Amanita got away from Quakeress and 
Barnacle drew away slightly from Amanita. On the run home the 
chief excitement was furnished by Amanita and Quakeress. These 
two indulged in several luffing matches, which carried them 
often dangerously near the rocks. Here Quakeress had the advan- 
tage, for she draws much less water,, and she finally secured the 
windward position and seemed sure to take third place; but 
Amanita got a puff just before reaching the line, and beat 
Quakeress by 2s. 
In the 18ft. one-design class there were four entries. These 
beats were sent first to Bird Island and then across the bay to 
Scraggy Neck Buoy No. 8 , and then home. Margaret finished 
first, 24s. ahead of Wanderer, who had a lead of over a minute over 
Jap. ^ 
Ihe 15ft. one-design class was sent to Bird Island and back. 
There were seven entries, and Maurice H. Richardson, Jr., took 
first place with his Ranzo, beating Miss Dabney in Fiddler by 29s., 
and Miss Dabney beating F. W. Sargent, Jr., by only 55s. 
The race was distinguished by the appearance of a new class, 
the fifth class cats. _ Several times during its history the club has 
had entries from this class, but for a year or two none have ap- 
peared. Last Saturday four of the Cataumet one-design catboats, 
comrnonly known as the Cataumet Pups, abandoned their usual 
practice of staying^ in their own harbor, and came down to the 
club for a race. The boats were all sailed by amateurs, but the 
skippers were not all members of the club, therefore, the race was 
more in the nature of a self-arranged brush than a formal con- 
test. Mr. Frank Paine, Col. C. J. Paine’s youngest son, won in 
his Water Baby, beating Minnow, which was sailed by Mr. George 
Nichols, of New York, by 40s. 
The judges^ were Messrs. L. S. Dabney and Charles Whitte- 
roore. The times in detail follow:
