At New London, Sunday, Aug. t3. 
Sunday was a miserable day for all. Rain squall after rain 
sqy.all drenched everything, but it did not prevent the sightseers 
from going down the harbor to see the boats. Several new yachts 
joined the squadron, and Fleet Captain Kelley announced that 
since the squadron was organized 1&2 yachts had reported to the 
flagship. 
The Regatta Committee, which has worked hard, got things in 
good shape, and from now on everything will run smoothly. An 
innovation has been made this year, and only yachts that have 
their measurement certificate filed can take part in contests for 
cups or for regular prizes. Boats not measured can start, and if it 
is found when they are measured that they have beaten the , 
regular entries, they get a special prize, but they do not take a 
prize away from a boat that has complied strictly with the rules. 
Mr. Charles Lane Poor, of Mira, has protested the 30-footers 
because they do not carry boats. This protest affects Dahinda, 
the winner of the Commodore’s cup on Friday, and Minx, the 
winner of the Rear-Commodore’s cup on Saturday. The Regatta 
Committee decided against Mr. Poor, and it was felt by many 
that it was a most unjust decision, and that it left an opening for 
all kinds of evasions. 
Ste. Claire found a light N. wird that enabled them to set their 
course direct for the mark. It held for half the distance, then 
svung around to the N.E., dead ahead. The boats went about 
and split tacks. Price kept bn improving his position, and when 
the race was called off, after the two leading boats had rounded 
the stake, he had cut down the cup holder’s lead to 3m. 42s. 
Mendota and Hoosief were hopelessly out of it from the first. 
They are both heavy weather boats, and the Milwaukee repre- 
sentative is a dangerous candidate if there is anything like a 
whole sail breeze. 
The arrangements were perfect as far as the club was con- 
cerned, the weather man being the only one to cause any trouble. 
The first race was sailed over a triangular course of two miles 
to the leg, to be sailed over twice. Following is the official time;

Lipton Cup Races. 
Four boats representing three different clubs, started in the 
fourth annual race for the Lipton trophy, emblematic of the 21ft. 
c^bin class championship of the Great Lakes. The first race was 
called at the expiration of the four-hour time limit with two legs 
of the course still unsailed. 
The contestants were: Quien Sabe, Columbia Y. C., Commo- 
dore F. .Y Price et al. ; Ste. Claire, Detroit Country Club, Com- 
modore Walker; Mendota, Milwaukee Y. C., Commodore E. P. 
Vilas; Hoosier, Columbia Y. C., ex-Commodore J. F. McGuire. 
All but Quien Sabe are old boats, the Price boat having been 
built to win back the trophy from Ste. Claire, of the Detroit 
Country Club. 
First Day — Saturday, Aug. 12. 
Light, fluky winds. That tells the story of the first attempt to ‘ 
race for the Lipton cup yesterday. After four hours of more or 
less tedious waiting for the unkindly god of the winds to turn 
loose a few choice zephyrs, the racing judges called it no contes't, 
and picking up the contestants at the end of a tow line, the tug 
Bradwell and the revenue cutter TusCarora towed them back to 
their anchorages. 
As a test of boats, it was no criterion at all, though what little 
steady sailing' there was, showed Fred Price’s new Tams, Le- 
mcine & Crane creation Quien Sabe, to be a wonder in light 
airs, and brought the Commodore of the Columbia out in the 
light of unusually good achievement. Beaten to the first mark 
by 14m., owing to distressing flukes of wind and a bit of a 
mistake of judgment by which he , waited for the wrong puff, 
while Ste. Claire got the right one. Price sailed his boat well and 
cut down Ste. Claire’s lead until at the end, when at the outside 
buoy the race was called off, Quien, Sabe, was less than 4m. behind, 
having made up over 10m. in the run in from the S.W. stake- 
boat around the home buoy and out to the N.E. mark. 
As these two legs were about the steadiest of the whole race, 
and at that a shift of wind on the last leg sailed headed the boats 
when they were pointing directly at the mark, the gain shown by 
the Price boat is a most encouraging feature, and sailors around 
Columbia are hoping for more light breezes, seeing a chance to 
win back the coveted trophy from the- Detroit County Club. 
The race as a race was a tiresome affair, with constant changes 
of wind to almost every point of the- compass. The judges were 
delayed at the start, and it was after 2 o’clock when they reached . 
the spar buoy, which served as a permanent basis for the triangle, 
and the racers were notified that the preparatory gun would be 
fired at 2:15 with- the starting gun 10m. later. At 2:25 the gun 
gave the signal for the start. The wind had dropped to nothing, 
and in the ten minutes had boxed the compass. At the starting 
time it was a light S.E. breath, and Ste. Claire, which had been 
hovering on the line ever since the preparatory gun, filled slowly 
and drifted across. Her actual crossing time was 2:28:50, which 
gives an idea of how little wind there actually was at the time. 
Quien Sabe was next across, a minute later, and Hoosier and 
Mendota were last across. Then began the longest, most tire- 
some part of the race — the beat back to the mark, two miles to 
v/indward. Fluke after fluke put first one boat ahead, then an- 
other. At last a, squall headed up in the S.W., and it looked as 
though there might be. some wind. .Vt the same time a lightening 
of the ' N. E. and- the drift of. the smoke ashore showed that the 
wind was trying to force a passage there. Ste. Claire chose the 
northeast, and Quien Sabe hung on, hoping to catch the south- 
wester. Ste. Claire won, and, when the breeze came — it could not 
have been over a 3-mile affair at that — Ste. Claire had all the best 
of the position, and going fast, shot away into the lead. 
The second leg was a free run with balloon jibs, and at one 
time Ste. Claire' was able to carry a spinnaker, though it did not 
help much. Quien Sabe rounded 14m. later and broke out a small 
spinnaker, carried high like a flying jib, one of George Peare’s 
favorite stunts. It helped some, but had to come down at the end. 
It was on the third leg of the triangle that Quien Sabe showed 
such speed. With the Detroit boat still 14m. ahead, Qnien Sabe 
cut dowit her lead by 6m. on the run in to the home buoy. After 
rounding intoi the first leg of the second round Quien Sabe and

Stamford, Long Island Sound — Saturday, Aug. 5. 
The annual regatta of the Stamford Y. C. was held on Satur- 
day, .Aug. 6. There were eighteen starters, and the winners were 
Marguerite, Memory, Madrine (sailover). Heron, Vera and Fly. 
The Race Committee, consisting of Messrs. R. H. Gillespie, 
Chairman; J. S. Herrman, John Le Boutillier, Edward Sawyer 
and Dr. A. H. Scofield, were on board Commodore Ferguson’s 
steam yacht Christabel. 
The race was scheduled to start at noon, but the Race Com- 
mittee decided on a postponment, as the wind was so light. At 
1 o’clock a nice S.W. breeze was blowing, and at 1:20 the 33ft. 
sloops were sent away. It was a procession from start to finish, 
and Marguerite had such an easy time that the match attracted 
little or no interest. 
Memory also had an easy time of it in the 33ft. yawl class. 
Cherokee was outclassed. 
In the 27ft. sloop class Madrine was without a competitor and 
she took a sailover. 
Heron ran away from her three competitors in the 22ft. yawl 
and sloop class and took her second first prize of the season. 
Altair was second. 
Vera easily defeated Mignon and Hornet in the catboat class. 
Mignon was second. 
Fly beat Monday, the second boat to finish in the Stamford one- 
design class, 6m. 33s. Toy was third. The summary:

Lake Champlain Y. C. 
Burlington, Lake Champlain— Tuesday, Aug. 1. 
The annual regatta of the Lake Champlain Y. C. was held on 
Tuesday, Aug. 1. A rattling breeze held throughout the contest. 
The most interesting race was the fifth. Arcadia, owned by 
Father James D. Roche, of New York city, gave Queen Bess, the 
65fc boat owned by Don A. Dodge, of New York city, and 
Nameless, Frank J. Spaulding’s 30ft. power boat, a 10m. lead. 
Arcadia won out, leaving Queen Bess some distance in her rear. 
The course of about six miles was covered in 18m. 30s.

Atlantic Y« C, 
Sea Gate, New York Harbor — Saturday, Aug. 12. 
On the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 12, Atlantic Y. C. boats in 
classes M and under had an opportunity to compete for the trophy 
offered last year by Rear-Commodore E. B. Havens. All started 
in one division on regular time allowance. The winner, proved to 
be the Class Q craft Saetta, which defeated the New York Y. C. 
30-footer Tabasco, first boat to finish, by 6m. 8s. corrected time. 
A triangular course was covered, which led from the start off Sea 
Gate to a mark boat off Fort Hamilton, thence down the channel 
to a bell buoy three-quarters of a mile due N. of West Bank Light 
and home, an aggregate distance of 7% miles. The journey was 
sailed twice, all marks being left to port. 
On the first leg spinnakers -vi'ere carried to the Fort Hamilton 
mark. The wind was S.W., and wdndward work was in order 
down to the bell buoy. In rounding the mark at the Fort, a 
foul occurred in which More Trouble, Vivian II. and Bobtail came 
into collision. All hands were delayed at least 3m., and Vivian II. 
was finally forced to withdraw with a broken martingale. Lizana 
sailed ^well on the first round, and had a substantial lead at the 
end. The leg home was a broad reach, on which spinnakers were 
carried. 
The wmd hauled to the W. on the second round. As soon as 
on the wind after turning the Fort Flamilton Mark, Lizana began 
to feel the effects of the head tide and a cross sea which had- 
sprung up. Tabasco was given more sheet than the others, and 
footed by both Bobtail and Lizana. . After, rounding the bell buoy 
Tabasco and Bobtail had a fine tussle on the run home. The 
first named finally finished 11s. in the lead. Quest led Saetta at 
the end of the first lound, but lost the advantage before the finish 
of the race. Cockatoo II and More Trouble withdrew on the 
second round, when hopelessly beaten. Bobtail measures in 
Class N, Tabasco and Lizana in Class P, and the others in 
Class Q. 
I'he old Class Q boats in the club sailed a race for points on the 
trophy recently offered by Hendon Chubb. Spots won out by 33s. 
The inside Association course was covered twice, leaving all marks 
to port. This gave a reach to Ulmer Park, another to the Marine 
and Field Club, still another to Fort Hamilton and a beat home. 
Mary had a good lead on the first round, but lost it by overstand- 
ing the mark on the last leg to windward. The summaries follow:

Btjffalo Y, C/s Cftti'sing Race. 
Buffalo, Port Maitland and Return— Saturday, Aug. 5. 
Six boats participated in the Buffalo Y. C.’s cruising race frorj 
Buffalo to Port Maitland and return, which started on Saturday, 
Aug. 6. The distance is about 80 Miles. The 21ft. waterline yawl 
Lucinda won, Tomahoc was second and Ida third. 
The boats started late on Saturday afternoon, the preparatory 
being fired at 3:30. At 4 o’clock the boats started. Cricket 
carried all her lower sails and Beppo had two reefs in the main- 
sail and her storm jib set. Ida, Lucinda, Bessie and Tomahoc 
each had one reef tied down. 
It was a beat to clear Black Rock Harbor, and Tomahoc was in 
the lead when the boats headed up the lake. After passing the 
Buffalo breakwater sheets were checked a little, and the boats 
were able to lay their course for Point Abino. Ida had made a 
big gain, and she was leading the fleet at sunset, when they passed 
Point Abino. Bessie started shorthanded and put into Point 
Abino Bay rather than continue with an insufficient crew. 
Ida was the first to shake out her reef, but Lucinda and Toma- 
hoc soon followed suit. About this time Beppo ran by Cricket 
and began to overtake the three leaders. This was before Port 
Calborne lights were passed. 
When darkness shut down the boats lost track of each other, 
but they picked each other up again when nearing Port Mait- 
land. As each boat passed the lighthouse pier her identity was 
made known, and they were headed back for Buffalo. The t=me 
taken at Port Maitland was as follows: Ida, Tomahoc and 
Lucinda, 11:18 P. M. ; Beppo, 12:50 A. M., and Cricket 1 A. M. 
The boats had the wind well abeam for the return trip, and it 
freshened considerably after passing Rock Point. A gaff topsail 
and a big reaching jib topsail were set on Cricket about 2 o’clock 
and she made better time, but she was too far astern to ever be- 
come dangerous. 
Lucinda worked out a useful lead on the home leg and finished 
a winner at 4:23 A. M., Sunday. The summary follows:
