Bensonhurst, L. I. — Saturday, Sept. 9. 
The fifth and last regatta for the class championship of Graves- 
end Bay was held on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 9, under 
the auspices of the New York Canoe Club. Twenty-one craft 
started and the winners proved to be Vivian II., Lizana, Saetta, 
Mary and Foggy Dew. Class championship honors of 1905 have 
been won by Vivian II., Lizana, Ogeemah and Beta. 
A light wind from the S. blew throughout the race. Kegular 
association courses were sailed. On the inside journey it was a 
broad reach to the Marine and Field Club from the start off 
Ulmer Park, another reach to Fort Hamilton, a beat to Sea Gate 
and a reach home. Boats in Classes P and above went out 
across the channel to the bell buoy at Craven Shoal and to Sea 
Gate instead of making one leg from the fort to the latter mark. 
The first leg of their extra route was a beat and the other a 
reach. Saetta and Cockatoo II. had a hard tussle for the honors 
in Class Q, the former finally winning out by 7s. The summaries

New York Harbor— Monday, Sej5t. 4. 
Labor Day was one of light and failing breezes for the Atlaik 
tic Y. C. men. In the morning of the holiday seven boats started 
for the Havens cups of 1904 and 1905. The first- named is open 
to boats in Classes M and under competing in one divisum on 
time allowance, and the other for Class Q creations. three 
victories are necessary for permanent possession of either trophy. 
The Class P boat Lizana and the Class Q craft Saetta were the 
only ones finishing the event. The latter defeated Lizana on 
corrected time for the old Havens trophy. It was .h^’^ 
victory, and the cup now goes to skipper Church outright. I he 
other races won were held on June 3 and Aug. 12. t>, i <- 
The boats sailed a course from Sea Gate to the Black Can 
buoy off Swinburn Island, from there to Fort Hamilton and then 
home. Covered twice, this aggregated 11 nautical miles. Before 
the first mark was reached all of the racers were becalmed and 
most of them anchored. Vivian II., Bobtail and Quest with- 
drew at this stage of the race. The breeze died down after the 
first round. The summary follows:

In the afternoon an attempt was made to start the second 
qualifying race for the Vernon trophy open to Classes N, P and 
Q. The boats got away from the line and, although all were 
Fecalmed before reaching the first mark, a little breeze finally 
enabled them to finish the first round of the same course sailed 
in the morning. The competitors got very little further and were 
finally towed home by launches, some of them arriving at 
moorings very late in the evening. The old Class Q boats were 
sent once over the course for points on the Chubb trophy, 
Trouble winning. The summary follows:

Saturday, Sept. 9. 
Better luck attended the efforts of the Sea Gate club to run off 
the second qualifying event for the Vernon trophy, which was 
held on Saturday morning, Sept. 9. Six craft started on their 
handicap times. The first boat home was thus the winner. This 
proved to be W. H. Childs’ Class Q creation. More Trouble, 
which beat Flendon Chubb’s Cockatoo II., Im. Is. The course 
was twice over a triangle from Sea Gate to Fort Hamilton, from 
there to the Black Can buoy No. 11 off Swinburn Island and 
home. The initial leg was to windward, while the other two were 
reaches. Ogeemah was the first boat to get away on her handi- 
cap time 10m. before the new Class Q creations. It was not, 
however, until the second leg on the second round that More 
Trouble passed her and took the lead. The boats qualifying for 
. the final race on points are More Trouble, Cockatoo II., Quest and 
Ogeemah. The summary follows:

held by the jflristol Y. C., on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 9, 
with a list of twenty-one starters. There was a light S. wind at

regular courses were shortened. Later, however, the breeze fresh- 
ened, and the contestants finished in good time. 
The Garland cup, offered for the 15:footers by Mr. James A. 
Garland, of the New York Y. C., for which this was the final 
race in a series of three, was won by Wenonah, owned by H.

In the 21ft. sloop class, MicaboO' defeated Nixie by more than 
16m., but in the 18ft. class there was very close work, Francis
