Captain Hank Haff. 
For some time there have appeared reports of 
the illness of Captain Hank Haff at his home at 
Islip, Long Island. The culmination of his suffer¬ 
ing came on June 30, when he passed away. 
Captain Haff was 68 years old and had many 
years been the most prominent and popular yacht 
skipper in the country and had raced success¬ 
fully many cup defenders. Captain Haff had the 
reputation of getting speed out of anything, and 
if it were already fast, he could get yet a little 
more out of it. His services on large racing 
yachts were always in demand. 
The career of Captain Haff was remarkable, 
for up to the time that he was twenty years old 
h.e had been engaged in farming, and no one 
would have credited him with the traits requisite 
to bringing cup defenders to victory. His will, 
determination, energy and ability were the 
qualities which enabled him to handle his charges 
so well and so successfully, and his name will 
always be associated with, and no less well 
known than such fine ships as Mayflower, Volun¬ 
teer and Defender. 
The Late Mr. E. H. Kelly. 
It is with much regret that we have to an¬ 
nounce the death at the early age of forty-two of 
Mr. Ernest Harry Kelly, which took place in 
London on Thursday, June 14. The son of Mr. 
W. S. Kelly, yacht builder and designer, of 
Plymouth, he was associated with yachting from 
his youth, and for two or three seasons raced his 
father’s yacht, Florence. Coming to London, he 
was for some time connected with our contempo¬ 
rary, the Yachtsman, subsequently joining the 
staff of the Field as assistant to the late Dixon 
Kemp. Some two years ago his health gave way, 
and although he struggled manfully it gradually 
declined of late, and the end was not unexpected 
by his relatives and friends. Mr. Kelly had an 
excellent practical knowledge of yachting in all 
its phases, and his straightforward and honorable 
character and buoyant spirits endeared him to all 
with whom he came in contact.—London Field. 
[The above sad notice has come to us as we 
go to press and accounts for the absence of our 
British letter, which the readers of Forest and 
Stream have for so many years been accustomed 
to look for.]

Sue. 
We publish this week a photo by Walter, of 
Brooklyn, of the Gravesend Bay 30-footer Sue, 
owned by Mr. E. F. Luckenbach, Atlantic Y. C. 
Sue was built at the Milton Point Yard, Rye, and 
is a very nice piece of construction, being double- 
planked mahogany and' cedar over oak frames. 
The cabin trunk and coamings are mahogany. 
Inside there is good accommodation; there is a 
long main saloon, forward of which is located, 
each in a separate roorn, the galley and the toilet. 
The cockpit is watertight, and a bulkhead is 
situated just forward of the mast. The sails were 
supplied by Wilson & Griffin. Sue is one of

three boats designed for Gravesend Bay by Mr. 
Henry J. Gielow. These boats, Sue, Crescent and 
Jig Step, are of the same rating as the New York 
Y. C. thirties, and much interest attaches to their 
meetings, which, unfortunately, so far have not 
been numerous or conclusive. 
Indian Harbor Y. C. Cruising Race. 
The much heralded cruising race of the Indian Harbor 
Y. C. was sailed on Tuesday, June 26, from Greenwich 
to New London. The race was most successful and 
brought out a good number of yachts. The weather con¬ 
ditions .were not so good perhaps as might have been 
desired, the wind being at times fluky; but this added 
somewhat to the scene from a spectacular point of view, 
as the yachts carried all their light canvas. It was re¬ 
grettable that there were so many absentees. Queen, 
Effort, Irolita, Rainbow, Gardenia and Weetamoe did not 
start for one reason or another. The course for all 
classes was 72 miles. The winners were Constellation, 
Elmina, Amorita, Dervish, Cachalot, Neola and Kestrel. 
Yankee. Irondequoit and Grampus withdrew. The prizes 
raced for were fleet prizes, and in addition class prizes 
were given. The summary follows:
