Lloyds’ British Yacht Register. — Lloyds’ register of 
American yachts is the only accurate and complete record 
of American yachts ever published. The Lloyds register 
of British yachts is even more complete, if such a thing 
were possible. This year the work appears in a larger 
and more convenient form. This work will be found in- 
dispensable to all yachtsmen who wish to' keep posted 
with the sport abroad. There should be a copy in every 
yacht club on this continent, as it is too valuable a refer- 
ence book to be without. Copies may be had from Lloyds 
Register of Shipping, 15 Whitehall street. New York, 
for $7.50.

Law for Yacht Owners.— Judge Thomas, in the 
United States District Court in Brooklyn, handed down 
on June 7 a decision in a libel brought by Mr. Robert 
Jacob, owner of a shipyard at City Island, against the 
sloop yacht Nellie. In water adjacent to Mr. Jacob’s 
yard the automobile launch. Miss Swift, was launched 
Nov. 13, while a short distance away the Nellie lay at 
anchor. A high wind came up that night, the Nellie 
dragged her anchor, and the next morning was found on 
the starboard side of the Miss Swift, which had sunk at 
her moorings with a hole in her side. It was testified 
that the Nellie was without any person on board, but was 
in charge of a man by the name of Hansen. Judge 
Thomas held that it was the duty of Hansen and there- 
fore chargeable against the boat tO' provide for the safety 
of the yacht. In granting a decree for the libellant. Judge 
Thomas says: “Care, diligence, observance of the rights 
of others are demanded of the owners of vessels at dock 
or anchor.”' — New York Herald.

Little Rhody Wins Bristol Y. C. Race.— Little 
Rhody, the sloop owned by Commodore C. F. Tillinghast, 
of the Bristol Y. C., won the 88-mile race from Bristol 
to Montauk Point and return. This is the second long 
distance in which Little Rhody has participated and twice 
she has come in a winner. Last year Little Rhody won 
the Brooklyn Y. C.’s ocean race from Gravesend Bay to 
Marblehead. Seventeen yachts started in the Bristol Y; 
C. race and twelve finished. Bambino, owned by Mr. L. 
Grinnell, of New Bedford, finished first but lost the race 
on time allowance. The sloop Priscilla, owned by Mr. 
W. S. Wood, of Fall River, got second prize.

Puritan Sold for Junk. — Puritan, the yacht that suc- 
cessfully defended the America’s Cup in 1885, 'was sold at 
auction in Boston on June 27 tO' Messrs. O’Connor Broth- 
ers for $4,025, and will be broken up for junk. 
Edgewood Y. C* 
Narragansett Bay — Tuesday, June 27. 
The first of the season’s three races for the 30ft. cats 
of the Edgewood Y. C. for the Possner cup, a perpetual 
challenge trophy, was sailed Tuesday afternoon. June 27, 
and Scatt was the winner on time allowance. Five boats 
were entered and the race was a close and exciting one, 
although owing to a shift in the wind the eight-mjle 
course chosen gave only free sailing for the whole dis- 
tance. 
The feature of the race was the rather remarkable per- 
formance of Wanderer IV., the new boat designed by Mr. 
C. C. Hanley for the Flint Brothers. Just after the pre- 
paratory gun. Wanderer IV., which was about leaving 
the club wharf for the starting line, got tangled up in a 
sharp squall that swept over the bay, and the ensuing de- 
lay made her 3111. 45s. late in getting over the line. With 
this handicap she made a great race, finally catching the 
fleet and leading for the last mile, crossing the line 31s. 
ahead of Scatt. She had to give the others an allowance 
of about 2m., and so lost first place. 
The. Possner cup was won last year and is now held by 
Mblem. Two more races will be sailed to determine pos- 
session of the trophy for another year. The cup must 
be won three times in different years by the same boat 
under the same ownership to become a permanent pos- 
session. In each race' the winner scored 100, the second 
boat 50, the third 25, and all others that finished 15. The 
summary follows :

Boston Y. C. 
Marblehead, Mass. — Saturday, July 1. 
A CLUB race of the Boston Y. C. was sailed off Marblehead on 
Saturday, July 1, in a strong S.W'. wind and choppy sea. The 
race between the 22-footers was particularly interesting, only 7s. 
separating Nutmeg and Tyro at the finish. It was Nutmeg s 
firit win, and she did it on the windward leg, after Tyro had got 
the start. Had it not been for a scrap between TyrO and Medric 
II., however, it is likely that Nutmeg would not have finished 
first, as Tyro had been fast overhauling her off the wind. Bat 
led ’all around in the 18-footers, and Vera II. did the same 
thing in the 15ft. class. Chewink IV. won by a good rnargin 
in the first rating class and Carma II. had lots to spare in the 
second rating class. The summary;

Atlantic Y« C. 
Sea Gate, New York, Ha rbbr-2-Saturday, -July 1. 
The second race for the . Underwood, trophy. Classes P and 
above, and the first for a new cup, presented this year by Rear- 
Commodore E. B. Havens, for Classes Q and below, were held 
at the Atlantic Y. C. on the afternoon of Saturday, July 1. 
A fine S. breeze and good courses made excellent sport. Vivian 
II. won among the larger boats, thereby securing a leg on the 
Underwood trophy. Bobtail got the first race held on June 10. 
The new. Class Q creation, Saetta, scored the first leg oii the 
Havens cup. Both trophies have to be won three times by the 
same owner for permanent possession. In a scrap among the 
old Class Q boats. Trouble beat Wraith. 
The courses sailed by all classes took them across the channel, 
where there was a good sea running. This feature, in connec- 
tion with a strong breeze, caused several mishaps. Lizana lost 
her bohstay and bowsprit, Cockatoo II. came very near doing., 
the same. Mary had' her rudder disabled', and More Trouble 
lost the top to her forward hatchway. All of these boats withdrew. 
The feature of the day was the .work of Sa.etta, .She defeated 
Quest over a 12%-niile course by 6m. 18s. Vivian II. defeated 
Redwing by 53s. elapsed fftne and 2m. 41s, corrected time. ' 
All of the boats sailed the first leg of the course together. This 
was from Sea Gate to Craven Shoal Bell Buoy, which proved a 
reach. From the first mark the racers in Classes P and above 
went out to the bell buoy to the northward of W est Bank Light 
and home, covering the triangle twice, an aggregate distance of 
11% miles. The other boats went from Craven Shoal to the cm 
buoy of Swinburn Island and home, all but the old Class Q 
creations doing the distance three times for a total of 12% miles. 
The old boats went over the course but twice, a total of 8V3 
miles. The second leg for all the contenders was a beat, and the 
third a reach. The summaries follow:

New^Rochelle Y. C. 
New Rochelle, Long Island Sound — Saturday, July 1. 
The annual regatta of the New Rochelle Y. C., was held on 
Saturday, July 1, and the thirty-five boats that started enjoyed the 
most satisfactory and conclusive racing of the season. The 
courses were of good length, and the wind was of sufficient 
strength to make good time over the triangles possible. The 
courses selected were as follows:. 
No. 1. — From the starting line, N.E. by % E., 2% miles to and 
around red gas buoy off Scotch Caps, thence S.S.W.%'VV., 3% 
miles to and around the black spar buoy off Prospect Point, thence 
N.W. by N. 2 miles to and around the stakeboat at the starting 
line, leaving all marks on starboard hand. 
No. 2. — From the starting line, E. by N., 4 miles, to and around 
Buoy A (black and white stripes) off Parsonage Point, thence 
S. by W.J4W., 3% miles to and around the stakeboat . at the 
starting line, leaving all marks on starboard hand. 
The 33ft. sloop and New York Y. ' C. 30ft. class sailed Course 
No. 1, twice around; distance 15% nautical miles. 
The 27 and 22ft. .'-loop, raceabout, and Larchmont 21ft. classes 
sailed Course No. 2, once around; distance 11% nautical miles. 
The boats in classes R and S sailed course No. 1 once around; 
distance 7% nautical miles. 
The preparatory signal was given at 12:06, and at this time the 
wind was light from the S.W. It was hardly an ideal racing day, 
as the sky was overcast, indicating rain, which, however, did not 
materialize. 
Classes K and L did not fill, so the first boats to start were the 
3.3-footers, at 12:20. Mimosa III. crossed slightly in the lead of 
Alert, her only competitor. Balloonjibs were broken out smartly 
on both boats. Alert picked up a little, as the S.W. wind com- 
menced to freshen. The wind began to free a little, and spin- 
nakers were set. Alert nearly ran by Mimosa III., but the 
latter boat rounded the Scotch Caps buoy a little in the lead. 
The wind had now freshened enough to kick up a little slop of a 
sea that killed Alert with her full bow. Mimosa III. had just the 
conditions she wanted, and she dropped Alert fast. It was a 
close fetch to the Second mark, and Mimosa III. rounded well in 
the lead. The third leg was a spinnaker run. ' The boats were 
timed at the first round as follows: Mimosa III., 1:27:39; Alert, 
1:30:65. ■ 
The wind had now shifted to the E. of S., and the boats 
were just able to carry ballooners by sheeting them well aft. On 
the second leg the boats had a little windward work, and it was 
necessary to make two hitches to fetch the mark. The wind had 
lightened a little, and Alert did better; but Mimosa III. was far 
enough ahead tO' save her time and win easily. Balloonjibs and 
spinnakers were carried on the run home, and Alert made another 
small gain on this leg. 
Mimosa III. sailed a beautiful race, and was splendidly 
handled throughout. She not only defeated Alert, but got away 
with the New York Y. C. one-design boats in a surprising man- 
ner. Whenever Mr. Park’s boat gets any kind of a breeze of 
wind, she will prove a very slippery customer. 
At 12:25 nine of the New York Y. C. 30-footers started, with 
Banzai in the lead. She was followed by Alcra, Phryne, Cara 
Mia, Maid of Mendon, Nautilus, Minx, Dahinda and Neola II. 
Balloonjibs were carried, and when about halfway down the leg, 
spinnakers were set. Phryne had a nice lead at the first mark, 
and appeared to have the race well in hand. At the 'end of the 
first round the boats were timed as follows: Phryne, 1:32:50; 
Banzai, 1:33:28; Nautilus, 1:33:54; Alera, 1:34:03; Dahmda, 1:34:40 ■; 
Minx 1:35:07; Neola II., 1:35:35; Maid of Mendon, 1:35:44; Cara 
Mia, 1:38:36. , , ■ , , , 
Phryne rounded the first mark on the second round in the lead, 
but something went wrong aloft, and it was some tinie before her 
working jib was set. By the' time things were straightened out, 
Nautilus was on top of her and took the lead. From that time 
on it was all Nautilus, and the Hanan boys won by Im. 3s. 
from Phryne. Banzai was 25s. behind Phryne. Dahinda 
fourth. Maid cf Mendon ryas hopelessly in the rear, and did 
not finish. . , , 
In Class P, the 27ft. sloops, Thelema ran up a nice lead on 
Rascal and won by 3m. 32s. Dorothy won in the Larchmont 21ft. 
class from Houri by 2m. 9s. Vaquero withdrew. 
The competition in the raceabout class was close, and the eight 
boats that started afforded some interesting racing. Tartan beat 
Mvstral by 43s., and Nora by 53s. , 1 . . -nt- 1 
There wer five starters in Class Q. Paumonack beat JNimbus 
III. 6m. 41s. Kenoshi was third. Hamburg won in Class R, 
beating Ace 3m. 13s. Arizona withdrew. Dod took a sailover 
in Clsss S 
The race was well handled in every way. Mr. G. P. Granbery, 
Chairman of the Race Committee, was on the tug Glen Cove, 
which was used as the committee boat. The summary:
