Boston Y. C. 
Hull, Mass. — Mid-Summer Series — Aug. 3, 
4 ad 5. 
Tmf annual mid-summer series of Y. R. A- operi races was 
given by dre Boston Y. C. in- Hub Bay, of? the fiull station of 
thrclub on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Ai^g 3 4 and 5. 
Tliere was good attendance at all of the races,^ and -the weather 
conditions were enough at variance on each day to bring out 
the abilities of the different boats. On the first day R was v^y 
light and flukv. On the second day it wa.s caltn to hght. On 
the last day there was a moderate, wholesail breepe. Rube 
succeeded in pulling off two out of the three races in the 22ft. 
class while there was a different winner each day m the 18ft. 
Hass Vera took two out of three in the. 15ft class Meemer 
took' all three in the first handicap class as did Jacobin in the 
second handicap class. Tama and Yenoh were the stars of the 
power boats, Tama taking two out of three. 
Thursday, Aug. 3. 
The first contest of the series was one of wind hunting, with 
what wind there was from the S.E. In the 22-footers Pen, II , 
Clotho and Medric II. were over the line together, with Pen II. 
in the weather berth. All hands split on the beat to the first 
mark and Rube was the first to reach it. By good judgement 
in seeking wind. Tyro pulled ahead on the next leg, and made 
further gains by the same good judgment on succeeding legs, 
winning the race by over 8m. She was sailed by Mr. Surnner 
H Foster. Gertrude, Nick Nack and Dorchen were the first 
three across in the 18-footers. Bat was in a pocket at the start, 
but she worked into the lead before the first, mark was reached 
and was never headed. In the 15ft. clap Cigarette turned the 
tables on Vera II., coming in many minutes ahead^. Meemer 
sailed a fine race in the first rating class, finishing ahead of the 
22-footers which started 6m. before her. She won by a long 
margin on both elapsed and corrected times .It seems that this 
Hd 30-footer has been going faster than ever this year and she is 
a standing example that the new rating rule does not injure the- 
chfnces of the centerboard. Opitsah II did the leading in the 
second rating class, but lost to Jacobin pn corrected time 
Tama simply romped away from the fleet in the power boat 
class. The summary:

Friday, Aug. 4. 
For Friday Aug. 4, the yachts had better luck in the line of 
breeze. At the start there was very little air, but the wind went 
to S W and blew wliolesail strength. In spite of the shift of wind 
thnrn was ulentv of windward work. The order of starting in 
the 22ft. class was Clotho (ex-Chewink V— ex-Ootho), Medric, 
Tyro Rube, Nutmeg and Peri II. Tyro and Rube hung togHher 
on the windward leg, Tryo reaching the windward mark first. 
The lull before the shift of wind lost Tyro the breeze, and the 
others came up on her, but she managed to turn the second 
in the lead. Rube then pulled up on her and went by, holding 
her lead to the finish and winning by 10s. Bonitwo got the start 
in the 18ft. class, but was passed by Hi^eed_ before the first 
mark was reached. Hayseed then led to the finish with Bonitwo 
and Bat close astern. In the 15ft. class, Vera II. led Rorn 
start to finish. Meemer again won by a long margin m the first 
rating class. In the second rating class Gringo was -first in by 
7s over Sally IV., but Jacobin again took first on corrected 
time. Tama again led the power boats around the course, but 
lost to Yenoh on time allowance. The summary:

For the last day of the series, the yachts had a rattling whole 
sail breeze from the S. In the 22-footers Clotho was first across 
the starting line, but with Nutmeg in rather the best position. 
Clotho led to the fust mark, but on the beat to windward Rube 
went, into first place and remained there for the remainder of 
tiie race, with Tyro second. The 18-footers were bunched at the 
start, with Bat having a little the best of it. Bonitwo had the 
lead at the end of the first round, but Dorchen got it afterward 
and' finished first. Vera II. again had all the best of it in the

American V. C. 
Milton Point, Long Island Sound— Saturday, Aug. 6. 
The American Y. C. was unfortunate in having been allotted 
the, SatiUrday before the start of the New York Y. C. cruise for 
their mid-summer association race, as many boats that might 
otherwise have entered were being overhauled preparatory to the 
big event. This state of. affairs did not, however, seriously 
affect the match, and with the exception of the two 70-footers, 
most of the important boats that have been racing on the western, 
end of the Sound were on hand. 
The Race Committee, made up of Commodore Trenor L. Park, 
Joseph M. Macdonough and W. H. Caswell, were on board the 
towboat Unique. The match was splendidly managed, and the 
event went off without a hitch. The start was made off the red 
gas buoy on Scotch Caps. It was a beat of 2% miles to the red 
and black striped buoy to the northward of Execution Light. 
The second leg was a reach of 3% miles to the black spar buoy 
off Week’s Point and then a spinnaker run of 3% miles back 
to the starting line, a total distance of 9% miles. The 33-footers 
and the New York Y. C. 30-footers covered the course twice, 
while boats in all the other classes went once around the triangle. 
There was a nice sailing breeze from the S.W. The tide was 
flood on the first round and ebb on the second. 
Mr. Clifford Bucknam sailed Commodore Trenor L. Park’s 
Mim-osa III. and seemed to get the best out of the boat. Nike 
was her only competitor, and she outsailed her on nearly every 
leg of the course. Mimosa III. won by over 6m., and added 
another winning flag to her already long list. 
The racing in the New York Y. C. one-design class was of the 
best. There were ten starters and the result of the race was 
in doubt from start to finish. The start was spectacular, and 
Nautilus sailed down the line, killing time. She crossed Is. after 
the signal. Nautilus, as well as Cara Mia, were the only two 
boats not gun-shy, and they made prUfty starts. The wind 
freshened on the first leg, and it was a pretty race to the first 
mark. At the second mark Cara Mia led. Nautilus second and 
Banzai third. The latter boat made her first appearance with a 
suit of Ratsey canvas. On the third leg of the first round 
Nautilus gained steadily on Cara Mia, and at one time it looked 
as if she would run by. The gain made by Nautilus put Mr. 
Stuyvesant Wainwright on his mettle and he sailed his boat, 
quite as faultlessly as did Mr. Addison Hanan on the windward 
leg of the second round. Cara Mia held her lead over the first 
two legs, but on the run to the finish line Nautilus gained again 
and ran up even with the Wainwright boat. Skipper Hanan 
luffed Nautilus sharply just as his bowsprit crossed the finish 
Tine, and she took the race by the very close margin of 2s. 
Ibis was third. She was sailed in this race as well as in some of 
the earlier events by Mr. Hazen Morse, and this, no doubt, 
accounts for the improvement made in her form. Atair beat out 
Banzai and Neola II. in some way and finished up nearer the 
top than is her custom. 
In the 27ft. class Maryola got a good start and managed to 
keep ahead of Rascal all over the course. Maryola showed to 
better advantage in this race than she has in any other event 
this season and she secured her first win. Rascal finished second. 
Ten raceabouts started and these boats afforded almost as in- 
teresting racing as did the , New York , boats. Tartan met with 
an accident before the start, and, unfortunately, could not par- 
ticipate. She was towed back to Glen Cove. Mr. A. B. Alley 
was late in getting to the starting line, owing to the light wind 
in the early morning; he managed to make a very good showing 
with his boat Pretty Quick in spite of the handicap. The boats 
got away in a bunch at the start, and Rana tried to force her 
way in between the committee boat and Busy Bee. Mr. Wain- 
wright protested Rana, and then withdrew his protest — a very 
sportsmanlike and courteous thing for him to do. 
Howdy sailed a nice race and crossed the finish line Im. 34s. 
ahead of Invader, Jr., the second boat. Jolly Roger was third. 
Dorothy managed to keep between her two competitors and 
the mark on everj; leg in the Larchmont 21ft. class and she 
crossed the finish line a winner by Im. 9s. 
Answer proved too smart for her four competitors in the 22ft. 
- sloop class. She beat Opossum -by 24sl Kenoshi was third. -

Racing at Chicago. 
Saturday, July 29, marked an unusual event in the history of 
Chicago yachting. Three great cruising races were started within 
the space of a couple of hours. 
The most important one, from the standpoint of genHal sportive 
interest, was the annual cruising race of the Chicago Y. C. fleet 
to Mackinac Island at the head of the lake. The second was the 
cruising race to Macatawa Bay of the boats intending to take part 
in the annual Lake Michigan T. A. regatta, which was held across 
the lake at the Michigan resort this season again, and the third 
was the cruising race of the Chicago Power Boat Club to Mackinac 
for the Day trophy. 
Promise for a splendid turnout of boats was excellent up to the 
day of the start itself, then a nasty northeaster blowing down the 
lake and a heavy run of sea cast gloom over the sailors ready for 
the event, and cut down the list of starters. 
Let it be said for the glory and credit of the Chicago Y. C. 
that every boat announced Friday night to start for the 330-mile 
thrash up the lake crossed the starting line. That only three 
finished was due to the unusual stress of weather and to the 
distressing conditions of the prevailing winds. 
These three were the big schooners of the fleet — Mistral, Alice, 
and Hawthorne — and that they alone were able to make the trip 
shows what a hard run it proved to be. 
When the starting gun sounded at 2:30 P. M., at the gap in the 
breakwater off Van Buren street. Dr. Baum’s steel cruising yawl 
Arcadia was first to cross the line. With a full display of lower 
sails, and all made snug for a long windward haul-, she crossed 
the line within 10s. of gun fire, and went away on the port tack 
trimmed down snug and flat. ■ Tanis followed soon after, and then 
came the schooners in as pretty a start as it is possible to 
imagine, all crossing together, with Mistral in the weather berth. 
There was not much attempt at jockeying or finessing, each 
clapping on all the sail the wind would permit and settling down 
to battle the heavy sea outside the harbor of refuge. 
Next came the sloops. The start of the single-stickers was re- 
markable, for the fact that one of the contending boats. Lady 
Eileen, is owned and sailed altogether by women. Miss Evelyn 
Wright, who, by the way, enjoys the distinction of being the only 
flag member of the Chicago Y. C., owns Lady Eileen, a 32ft. 
sloop, and she sails it with the assistance of Miss Sara Cury. The 
two young girls tackled alone the strenuous 330-mile cruise up the 
lake, a feat that has brought them much praise for their pluck. 
The starters in the sloop class were Siren, Minota, La Rita, 
and Lady Eileen. Tommy Atkins shot Minota over the line first, 
but George Pearse with La Rita was right on top of him and took 
the weather berth before they had gone far. The starters honored 
Miss Wright and Lady Eileen with a special gun when they 
crossed the line. 
The Macatawa fleet got under way soon after. The old-time 
ciuisers Jeannetiie and Charlotte R. took the lead, followed soon, 
after by the 30-footers Gloria and Cyma. The yawls Naiad and 
Kayoshk followed, with the schooner Glad Tidings and Commo- 
dore Price’s new flagship, Juanita, next, and the sloops Wizard, 
Vencedor, Neva and Illinois crossing the line last. 
Four power boats out of ten entries tackled the long jaunt to the- 
pretty island at the head of the lake, with Violet, Louise, the 
scratch boat, Dustye Sydes, Marion and Erin all taking allow- 
ance from the Counsel flier. 
The Columbia Y. C. fleet, which comprised the twelve starters, 
for Macatawa Bay, were able to lay a course direct for the Michi- 
gan resort. Vencedor, Commodore Price’s old flagship, which is- 
still owned by Price, was in the hands of Capt. W. L. Shepard,, 
one of the veteran, yachtsmen of the lake, and a model of the old: 
school sailor. With Abe Burrell at the tiller the big mahogany- 
beat soon began overhauling the whole fleet, and by nightfall had. 
a lead on all the boats but the Price yawl, Juanita, and, Soule’s- 
Naiad, which was making a remarkable showing. By daylight 
Naiad was still leading, having found a lucky streak of wind, and 
Vencedor was catching Juanita. From there it was as pretty a race 
as one could want to see, Capt. Shepard finally landing Vencedor 
winner, with Juanita second, w'hile Naiad finished third.

in her class. Following are the winners of the different classes

Meanwhile the Chicago Y. C. fleet were having a hard time 
making the long beat up the lake. The wind increased in velocity 
until Tommy Atkins, in seeking more favorable slants on the west 
shore, was compelled to put into Racine, where he found Violet 
Louise, the motorboat flier, which had been beached off Wind 
Point owing to a mistake of her navigator in taking 'Wind 
Point light for the Racine Harbor light. 
Of the boats that kept on the port tack after two nights and a 
day of incessant thrashing in a heavy sea, four found their way 
into South Haven — Siren, La Rita, Lady Eileen, with its plucky 
crew of girls, and Tanis, all making the Michigan harbor and 
- reporting very nasty weather outside. 
Mistral was reported leading the fleet by a small margin on 
Monday, off Charlevoix. Hawthorne and Alice were well up 
with Arcadia, seeking open water. Tuesday the boats were re- 
ported oft' North Manitou, and Mistral and Hawthorne passed 
between Fox and North Manitou islands still bucking a head 
wind. When reported Mistral was leading by about thfiee hours. 
Alice was several hours behind Hawthorne, and Arcadia was 
bringing up the rear. 
Aug. 2, at 12:39 P. M., with all light sails set and making ex- 
cellent time. Mistral slid over the line at Mackinac Island winner 
i’of the big raee. -- - ; .
