30-Footefs at Newport. 
Saturday, Aug. 26. 
Ths old class of Newport 30-footers again demonstrated superior 
speed in a contest with the Herreshoff boats of New York Y. C. 
one-design class, sailed off Newport, Saturdaj; afternoon, Aug. 26. 
The race was for a cup offered by Mr. William G. Roelker ,and 
five boats participated, Caroline, Breeze, and Eleanor the old 
oites, and Oriole and Linnet of the new class. Mr. Pembroke 
Jones’ Carolina won the event, defeating Oriole by about a 
minute. . ... 
The race was, made quite a society event, and a large party went 
out to watch it as guests of Vice-Commodore Henry Walters, on 
the steam yacht Narada. A strong N.E. wind was blowing, and 
the boats were sent out to Brenton’s Reef Lightship and return, 
this making a run out with spinnakers, and a beat back against 
wind and tide. The start was made in Brenton’s Cove at 2:30. 
On the run out the racers kept well together, Eleanor being first 
to round the mark. Oriole, Carolina and Breeze followed in close 
order, while Linnet had withdrawn. As soon as the boats hauled 
on the wind, Carolina slowly worked into windward position, and 
had the fleet beaten before it was half way home. The summary: 
30-footers — Start, 2 :30.

Rhode Island Y. C. 
Pawtuxet, R. I.— Saturday, Aug. 26. 
The annual club cup regatta of the Rhode Island Y. C., sched- 
uled for Aug. 26, proved the smallest racing event in the history 
of the club, only one class, the 30ft. cats, filling. The sloops 
Ishkoodah and Micaboo, and two Herreshoff auto boats were 
ready to race, but no opponents showed up in their respective 
classes, and after waiting in vain for an hour and a half for further 
entries the Race Committee gave it up and started the 30-footers 
alone. The failure of the regatta was only a pronounced example 
of the general lack of racing enthusiasm that has been manifest 
to a. greater or less extent among tbe local clubs tliroughout the 
*^fhe”e was a stiff breeze from N. by E., affording the best of 
racing conditions. The boats were sent over a short leeward and 
windward course, at enough of an angle, as it happened, to give 
very little beating on the homeward stretch, and the distance was 
covered in quick time. Wanderer IV. was an easy winner, defeat- 
ing her opponents by 4m. corrected time. The summary:

emiums are offered, the highest ones being $60, $40, $30 and $25,
