Crescent A. C. Regatta. 
On Saturday, June 30, the first open regatta of the 
Crescent A. C. was held off Sea Gate, and by the cour¬ 
tesy of the Atlantic Y. C., the club house and wharf, 
which has recently been fitted with special arrangements 
for starting the Atlantic races by Chairman Theo. D. 
Wells, were placed at the disposal of the committee of 
the Crescent A. C. There was a gratifying number of 
starters, and the racing in a good breeze was most satis¬ 
factory and exciting. The main event of the day was 
for the O’Donohue cup, offered for the boats in Class P, 
which was won by Jigstep. Class Q was well repre¬ 
sented, and gave good sport. The 40-footers sailed to the 
bell buoy off Sandy Hook. The winners were Ondawa, 
Tigstep (O’Donohue cup), Joy, Soya (second, but dis¬ 
qualified), Sandpiper. Mamie won in the dory class, and 
Ondas in Class Q special. The summary follows:

380th Regatta of the Beverly Y. C. 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 380th regatta from its 
club house on June 23. The event was the third club 
race of the season. At the time the race started, 1 
o’clock, there was a prospect of a fresh breeze from the 
westward, and some of the boats took in reefs, but the 
threatened squall did not come, and instead, a south¬ 
westerly air that was blowing, gradually died out. 
The 21-footers were sent to Bird Island and back. 
Radiant won by 4s. 
The 15-footers were sent twice around the triangle to 
the striped buoy on Mosher’s Rock, B. Y. C. No. 2, 
and white spar buoy at the start. Flickamaroo took first 
place, much to the pleasure of her young owners, the 
Hellier boys, the oldest of whom has just been made a 
member of the Beverly Y. C.

Knickerbocker Y. C. 
Marblehead—New York. 
On Saturday, June 30. ended the long-distance race 
for power driven boats, from Marblehead to New York, 
under the auspices of the Knickerbocker Y. C. The ex¬ 
perience gained in the contest last year has contributed 
much toward the success of this event, and the boats, as 
boats, are better designed, also the engines, and both 
stand up well to their work, though it is remarkable that 
the smallest boat should have won, as there was some 
heavy weather encountered outside, and over a course of 
280 miles, it would seem as if size had much to do with 
the success of a competitor. The event is to take place 
next year, and no doubt will be more popular than ever. 
The present race brought out fifteen entries; 12 started 
and two withdrew at Cottage City. The times follow:

Havens Cup, Atlantic Y. C. 
On Wednesday, June 27, under trying conditions, the 
second race of the series for the Havens cup for class 
M and below, was sailed off Sea Gate. After the race a 
protest was lodged by Messrs. Church and Childs, 
against the Soya and Spider, on the grounds that the 
new boats had not left the Sea Gate mark to starboard. 
The Joy will, in case the protest is sustained, score her 
second leg on the Havens trophy. The course was 10% 
miles, Sea Gate, buoy 13, Fort Hamilton and Benson- 
hurst. Summary follows:

YACHTING NEWS NOTES. 
Transpacific Race. — The following are the 
times of the three yachts which competed for the 
trophy offered by the Hawaii Y. C. in a race of 
2,100 miles from San Pedro, Cal., to Diamond 
Head, Hawaii: Lurline, South Coast Y. C., 12 
days, 7 hours, 30 minutes; Anemone, New York 
Y. C., 14 days, 30 minutes; La Paloma, Hawaii 
Y. C., 15 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes. 
La Paloma, the smallest of the three, had a bad 
time of it, the crew having to bail most of the 
time, and with a defective chronometer, she sailed 
some 200 miles more than necessary and missed 
her landfall. The other boats fared better, but 
they are larger and more able to stand such a 
long journey. 
* « K 
New Fast Power Yacht. — Mr. Payne Whitney, 
New York Y. C., has placed with the Gas Engine 
& Power Co. and Chas. L. Seabury & Co. an order 
for a fast launch, which will be about 70ft. long 
and have engines, driving twin screws, of 100 
horse-power each, giving a speed of 24 miles an 
hour. The yacht will be delivered on July 15, and 
will be used by her owner about the Sound and 
Newport.

Yacht Sales by Mr. Stanley M. Seaman.— 
The sloop Caribou, sold for J. E. Nicholson, of 
the Brooklyn Y. C. to H. D. Crouch of this city. 
The yacht is now fitted out and cruising on Long 
Island Sound. 
The ketch Micco, sold for A. M. Merriam, of 
the Eastern Y. C., to L. P. Bayard, of this city. 
She was fitted out at Marblehead, Mass., and is 
now being used in local waters. 
Knockabout Alice, sold for Andrew Mack to 
DeCoursey Pales, of this city. 
Cruising launch Gypsy, sold for O. L. 
Schwencke to F. M. Miller, of this city. Mr. 
Miller and family are now living aboard. 
•t «S * 
Seabury Launch Sent East.— The Seabury 
Company, of Morris Heights, this city, has sent 
to Bar Harbor the fast launch Kite, which they 
have recently completed for Mr. Edgar Scott, 
New York Y. C. 
« * K 
Fisher Cup Trials. — The Royal Canadian Y. 
C. announces the dates for the Fisher cup trials, 
which will be held on July 18, 19 and 20. The 
Temeraire and Toraida are the two boats from 
which a challenger will be selected. The Fisher 
cup is now held by Rochester Y. C., and the 
races will be held off Charlotte during the sec¬ 
ond week in August. 
* « »t 
Seventy-six Degrees Gasolene to be With- 
drawn.— The announcement, front Cleveland, by 
the Standard Oil Co., that 76 degrees gasolene 
would be withdrawn front sale, is rather a sur¬ 
prise to users of the gasolene engines either in 
boats or cars. For some time it has been known 
that gasolene of as low as 68 degrees test has been 
sold and charged for at the same rate as 76 
degrees, and it has been found fairly satisfactory. 
The reason for the withdrawal of this product 
is the inability of the Standard Oil Co. to supply 
the ever-increasing demand. It is fortunate that 
at this time the free alcohol bill has become a 
law, which will go into effect on Jan. 1, 1907. 
Great energy and skill are being displayed in 
fitting certain mechanical arrangements that will 
permit alcohol to be used in the present engines, 
and soon we shall hear of nothing else than 
alcohol or heavy oil motors, which means the 
elimination of much of the danger that has ever 
been a part of automobiles and motor-driven 
boats.

Yacht Sales. — Hollis Burgess has sold the 
steam launch Nordlys, owned by George A. Gib¬ 
son, of Boston, to the United States Government. 
She will be used by the Signal Corps of the 
United States Army between the forts in and 
around Boston. 
The sloop Darthea, owned by J. PI. Dyer, of 
Boston, to George C. Lane, Jr., of Gloucester, 
Mass.; the fast gasolene launch, owned by W. 
F. Beal, of Boston, to George W. Overend, of
