Miacola-Vifginia Match Race — Amateur Crews* 
Oyster Bay, Long Island Sound — Wednesday, July 26. 
Manned by amateur crews, the 70-footers Mineolar and Virginia 
met in a match race off Oyster Bay on Wednesday, July 26. 
Mineola won by 3m. 54s. 
The race was the outcome of a challenge issued by Commodore 
William K. Vanderbilt, and it was accepted by Mr. W. Ross 
Proctor, owner of Mineola. 'I'he arangements were made by the 
representatives of the owners of the two boats, and the date for the 
race was set for July 26. Crews for the boats were recruited, and 
almost every Sunday before the race they were given practice 
spins. 
It has been some time since any big boats have raced with 
amateur crews, and consequently the match attracted more than 
ordinary interest. 
The conditions governing the race allowed twenty-five amateurs 
for each boat, besides four professionals, namely the steward and 
cook and the lazarette and masthead men. The race was once 
over a 20%-mile triangle. The match was for a $100 cup, to be 
given by the losing club. 
The start was made at the buoy off Lloyd’s Point, thence 
N.W. by W.14W., 6 V 2 miles, to Captain’s Island, thence E. by N. 
5% miles and E.N.E. 2% miles to Greens Ledge, thence S.S.W. 
5% miles. 
The Race Committee w'as composed of Messrs. H. H. Landon, 
H. C. .Smith, of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C., and Charles 
F. Kirby, of the Indiait Harbor Y. C., and were on board the 
steam yacht Tarantula. 
Mineola was towed across the Sound by her tender Mermaid, 
which boat had on board the former’s professional crew, together 
with Mrs. Proctor and some guests. Virginia’s professional crew 
were on board Tarantula. 
The warning signal was given promptly at 2 o’clock, and at that 
time the wind was W.N.W. At 2:05 the preparatory was heard. 
Both boats had No. 2 jackyard topsails aloft, and Virginia car- 
ried her baby jibtopsail. On Mineola a No. 2 jibtopsail was tried 
and it did good w'ork in the light air. 
Captain Addison G. Hanan, Mineola’s skipper, got in the weather 
berth a couple of minutes before the start, and remained there 
until the starting signal, wdien his boat slipped over the line close 
under Tarantula’s stern. She crossed on the port tack, and her 
skipper brought her up as close as she would lay after crossing. 
Virginia also crossed on the port tack 55s. after the signal. 
Virginia W'as at once put on the starboard tack, and then she 
went back to the port tack again. Mineola drew out ahead fast 
and her big jibtopsail seemed to be a big help to her. The wind 
went to W. bjr S., and the boats could almost lay their course for 
the first mark. As they got out in the Sound the wind strength- 
ened a little, and the men wdio had been sitting to leeward to 
heel them down w'ere ordered up to the weather side. Two tacks 
w’ere necessary to round the first mark, and spinnaker poles were 
run out to port on both boats, and the big sails were sent up to 
the masthead. 
Mineola’s topsail sheet got jammed on a capstan, and this 
caused her crew more trouble. When the mark was reached it 
was found necessary to carry spinnakers tO' starboard. Virginia’s 
crew shifted her spinnaker pole to starboard smartly, and soon had 
the spinnaker drawdng. 
While Mineola was gybing back and forth, trying to get her 
jibtopsail sheet and other gear clear, Virginia was . -running up 
on her fast, and it looked as though she might catch her. 
When Mineola’s crew finally got things straightened, she was well 
in toward the rocks, and she had little w-ater under her. 
Mineola no sooner got out of trouble, when the man on the 
starboard main sheet bitts of Virginia let his end of the sheet 
get aw'ay from him, and it ran through one block before it was 
secured. 
V irginia’s.baby jibtopsail split in two places on the first leg, and 
a larger sail was substituted for it. 
It was necessary to gybe both boats and reset spinnakers to port 
off Cow’s buoy. This time the work was done cleanly on both 
boats. Spinnakers w-ere carried well down to the second mark, 
and the following times were taken when the boats rounded: 
Mineola, 4:04:16; Virginia, 4:06:19. Virginia had gained 38s. on 
the second leg. 
The wind had shifted to S.W., and on the starboard tack the 
boats lee-bowed the tide, which was running flood. Virginia’s 
jibtopsail sheet parted soon after rounding, and the bowsprit men 
had difficulty getting the sail in, as the jibtopsail halliard jammed 
with the spinnaker halliard. A man finally went up the jib stay 
and unhooked the jibtopsail halliard, and the sail was gotten in 
on deck. As the baby jibtopsail was torn, another sail could not 
be set, and Virginia was handicapped accordingly. 
Virginia held one long tack across the Sound to the Long Island 
shore, and one hitch took her across the finish line. Mineola 
made four tacks in order to reach the finish line. 
Mineola’s amateur crew went aboard the tender Mermaid im- 
mediately after thq race, and she ran alongside Virginia. The 
losing crew gave three cheers, which w-ere promptly returned by 
the victors. The summary:

Indian Hatbof Y. C, 
Greenwich. Long Island Sound — Saturday, July 39, 
The annual regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. C. was sailed on 
Saturday, July 29. There were thirty-seven starters, and the 
winners were as follows: Mimosa III., Memory, Phryne, Tartan, 
Rascal, Vaquero, Heron, Ace, and Kenoshi. 
This match was one of the most satisfactory of the season, and 
the skippers and crews that participated were treated to some very 
lively sailing. It rained more or less steadily, and the strong K. 
v/ind kicked up a lump of a sea. The 33ft. sloops and yawls, and 
the New York one-design 30-footers covered a 15-mile course. The 
start was from the red spar buoy off the S.W. end of Great 
Captain’s Island, thence the Cows gas buoy, off Shippan Point, 
L. by N. 5% miles; thence to the black spar buoy off Oak Neck 
Point, S.W. by S. 5% miles; thence to and across the starting 
line, N.W. by N., 4% miles. All the other classes went to the 
red spar buoy oft Woolsey’s Rock, E. by N. % N., 3J4 miles; 
thence to a markboat anchored in the Sound S.S.W. 3% miles; 
thence to and across the starting line, N.W. by N. 3% miles; 
total distance, 10 nautical miles. 
The 33ft. sloops and yawls were sent off on the same signal at 
12:20. Mimosa HI. led her two competitors Nike and Tito over 
the line. She was quite at home in the wind and sea, and soon 
opened up a big ,gap. Mimosa III. was never headed, and finished 
llm. 45s. ahead of Nike, the second boat. Nike and Tito had a 
fair race for second place, but the former won out. Nike’s owner 
protested Alimosa III. for having fouled Nike when starting. 
Memory and Cherokee were the only starters in the yawl class, 
and the former won by nearly 15m. 
Only a small field of the New York Y. C. one-design boats 
started. Phryne got the start, and before the weather mark was 
rounded she had a lead to assure her of winning. Nautilus got in 
a pocket at the start, and was too far behind to overtake Phryne 
when .»he got clear. Phryne beat Nautilus Im. 52s. Ibis was third, 
2m. 10s. behind Phryne. Alera was a good fourth, and Atair 
finished fifth. Maid of Mendon fouled Neola II. shortly after the 
start, and the backstay of the Pynchon boat was carried away. 
Both Neola II. and Maid of Mendon withdrew at once. 
Eleven raceabouts turned out, and this class made the best 
showing of the day. Tartan showed the way to her ten com- 
petitors, and won by Im. 43s. Nora was second and Rana third. 
Invader, Jr., was the only boat in the class that did not finish. 
One boat only finished m the other five classes, the other 
starters withdrawing from one cause or another. 
In the 27ft. sloop class. Rascal wins, as Robin Hood was dis- 
abled and Maryola did not finish. 
Dorothy withdrew in the Larchmont 21ft. class, and Vaquero 
finished alone. 
As Paumonak and Okee did not finish in the 22ft. class. Heron 
gets hei' first prize of the season. Paumonak was run down by 
the yawl Fleetwing, which boat was participating in the New 
Rochelle Y. C. cruising race for yawls. Paumonak was damaged, 
but no one was hurt. 
Ace wins again in the 18ft. class, and Kenoshi took a sailover in 
the Indian Harbor one-design class. 
The Race Committee was composed of Messrs. H Wilmer 
Hanan, Charles E. Simms, Thomas J. McCahill, Jr., Charles F. 
Kirby, Charles P. Geddes and Frank Bowne Jones.

Bensonhurst, New York Harbor' — Thursday, July 27. 
y\LFRED Mackay's Ogeetiiah, representing the New York C. C., 
won the first race of this yea.r for the Bensonhurst perpetual 
challenge cup for Class Q boats enrolled in clubs on Gravesend 
Bay, v.'hich occurred on the afternoon of Thursday, July 27. She 
succeeded in defeating More Trouble, the Bensonhurst Y. C. de- 
fender, on corrected time, by 2m. 50s. for the leeward and wind- 
ward course of 10 miles. The trophy goes to the club whose boat 
wins two races, and is held subject to challenge. 
Each of tile associated clubs on Gravesend Bay sent its speed- 
iest boat in Class Q. Besides the tw'o mentioned, the Atlantic 
Y. C. was represented by Saetta; the Marine and Field Club 
by Quest, and the challenging Brooklyn Y. C. by Ojigwan. 
According to governing conditions, the first race had to be either 
to windward or leeward and return. The Race Committee, which 
was on board the sloop Maydic, decided to send the racers from 
Sea Gate up through the Narows, to and around Robbin’s Reef 
bell buoy and return, leaving all marks to port. This course has 
been employed during the past few years for power boats, but 
not for those propelled by sail. It was with misgivings regard- 
ing the possible interference of tows that some of the contenders 
started. Fortunately for all, the route remained unobstructed, and 
the journey proved a good test for the different boats. 
The wind from start to finish was from S.S.E. This gave a 
fine spinnaker run on the outward journey and a hard beat home 
in the face of a flood tide. Saetta was first to turn the buoy at 
Robbin’s Reef. Ojigwan was second, Ogeemah third. Quest 
fourth, and More Trouble, which boat had lost her spinnaker 
when half way to the mark, fifth. Once on the wind, all of the 
boats stood over to the South Brooklyn shore, and then worked 
dovyn the Bay by short tacks. More Trouble soon gained the lead, 
which she_ maintained until the end. Ogeemah pointed very high, 
and to this quality her victory on corrected time is undoubtedly 
due. On actual elapsed time, More Trouble beat Saetta by 2m. 
23s., and Quest by 5m. 47s. Ogeemah was the only boat getting 
allowance, the others being rated at the top of the 22 ft. class.

The Bensonhuist Y. C. held a race on Saturday for the William 
H. Childs perpetual challenge trophy for Classes M and under. 
The winner proved to be More Trouble, representing the organiza- 
tion giving the event. She beat Quest, which boat was sailing in 
the colors of the Marine and Field Club, by Im. 39s. The 30- 
footer Tobasco was first boat to finish, but was beaten on cor- 
rected time by 6 m. 4s. 
Under^ conditions governing the trophy, each club entering a 
contest is entitled to send two representatives, all sailing in one 
division on regular time allowance. In the race of the 29th, the 
defending Bensonhurst Y. C. was represented by Tobasco and 
More Trouble. The Atlantic Y. C. as challenger sent Cockatoo 
II. and Lizana. The Marine and Field Club entered the Class 
Q craft Quest, and the Class RR. boat Beta. Ogeemah sailed 
for the New York C. C., while Ojigwan represented the Brooklyn 
The course selected was from the start, off Ulmer Park, to can 
buoy No. 13, off Fort Wadsworth; from there to and around 
Boamer Shoal Light and home, leaving marks to port. The wind 
was from the S.E. This made the first leg a broad reach, the 
second to windward, and the third a reach home. The windward 
work was all perfor.med against a strong head tide. More Trouble 
was first_ to turn the can buoy. Tobasco was first around Roamer 
Shcal Light, with More Trouble second and Quest, which boat 
had been putting up an excellent fight, third. ~Lizana, Cockatoo 
-H-, Ojigwan and Ogeemah came next in the order named. 
-All hands sailed fast on the reach home. More Trouble finishing 
near enough to Tobasco to win out on corrected time. The Childs 
trophy remains with the Bensonhurst Y. C., subject tO' challenge. 
According to governing conditions, only one more event can be 
held this year. The winning boat of each race gets a miniature

Boston Y» C 
Marblehead, Mass. — Saturday, July 29. 
The third championship race of the Boston Y. C. was sailed 
off the. Marblehead station of the club on Saturday, July 29, in 
a light S.E. breeze. In the 22ft. class Tyro had much the 
best of the start, but on the beat to windward. Nutmeg, recently 
overhauled, pulled up on her and took the lead just before the 
inark as reached. Nutmeg turned the mark first, but turned 
it wrong, and upon being informed of this fact by the skipper 
of Tyro, turned back to go around the mark right. This put 
Nutmeg back, and Tyro in the lead, and she remained in the 
lead to the finish, although closely pressed by Peri II. . In the 
18ft. class there were only two starters and Mirage II. being 
disabled, Otter had the race. Vera II. sailed alone in the 15ft. 
class. In the first rating class Meemer had all the best of the 
newer 30-footers Chewink IV. and Sauquoit, leading them all 
around the course. In the second rating class, Opitsah HI. 
had all the best of the sailing, but lost to Gringe on corrected

Atlantic Y» C. 
Sea Gate, New York Harbor — Saturday, July 29. 
R. C. Veit’s Spots won a race for old Class Q boats in the 
Atlantic Y. C., given on the afternoon of Saturday^ July 29. She 
beat Wraith 2m. 18s. for the course of 7.62 miles. The Regatta 
Committee of the Sea Gate Club has decided to give a race for 
these boats on every Saturday during the remainder of the season. 
Mr. Hendon Chubb has offered a trophy for the one winning the 
greatest number of points. Competition will be boat for boat, 
without time allowance. The proposition of having all the old 
Class Q boats on Gravesend Bay compete on the same basis is now 
being looked on with favor by many. 
In the race of Saturday the regular Association course was 
covered twice. It was a run from Sea Gate to Fort Hamilton, a 
reach to the Marine and Field Club mark, a beat to Ulmer Park, 
and a reach home. Wraith and Mary had a hard fight for second 
place. Spots gained a lead at the start, which she retained until 
the end. The summary follows: 
Class Q — Special — Start, 3:06.
