Bristol Y. C. Ocean Race. 
Twenty sail, including sloops, yawls and catboats, 
started in the ocean race of the Bristol Y. C. Saturday 
afternoon, June 30, in a light wind from N.E., which 
picked up to the proportions of a gale before the yachts 
had finished the course of 88 miles from Bristol to 
Great Eastern Ledge, off Montauk Point, and return 
to the starting point. lshkoodah, a sloop owned by 
Col. Samuel M. Nicholson, of Providence, and by far 
the ablest of the fleet, first rounded the outer stake and 
was the first to pass over the finish line at a few minutes 
before 9 o’clock Sunday morning, July 1. The remainder 
of the boats met the strength of the northeaster on the 
way back to the finish, and those of the small fry that 
were unable to stand the. buffeting of the high wind 
and chopped seas off Watch Hill and Point Judith were 
forced to run up to leeward and seek a shelter in har¬ 
bors at Block Island, New London and in Point Judith 
Breakwater. Moose, a small sloop, sprung her rudder 
head in the blow off Point Judith at daylight Sunday 
morning, and besides burst her mainsail. She went to 
anchor on a lee shore on the northeast side of Point 
Judith, and was later towed in to Newport. 
It was a nasty night for small boats in a race, and 
showers and tempests were the conditions all night. At 
the turn near Montauk Point, the worst, tempest of the 
night was experienced, and though there was a moon, 
the night was pitch dark, only the Hashes of lightning re¬ 
vealing to the skippers the'positions of the others in the 
race. An hour before midnight, when the yachts had 
come up in bunches toward the stakeboat, Earl and 
Nettie, a Block Island fishing schooner, the rain came 
down in such force that the lights of the stakeboat could 
not be discerned by many the yachts, and there was 
more or less waiting until the showers passed away, when 
the mark was found, and a number of the racers that 
lowered their sails in the expectancy of heavy squalls, 
made sail again and turned. 
lshkoodah was around the mark shortly after 10 at 
night, and was soon straightened out for the beat back 
to the finish. This yacht held a long stretch on the 
starboard tack and fetched out before tacking again to 
the southward of Point Judith and close, in with the land. 
The Bambino and Petrel carried full sail, and had it 
out in a fine scrap up the bay from Point Judith, while 
several of those that finished came in with single and 
double reefs. 
The crews had all they wanted of night racing, claim¬ 
ing that it was the most severe experience any of them 
ever had, excepting Commodore Tillinghast, of the Little 
Rhody, who has sailed in quite a number of outside 
events, winning the Lipton cup from New York to 
Marblehead two years ago. 
The starters in the race were the sloops lshkoodah, 
Corneta, Novice, Bambino, Sigma III., Little Rhody, 
Priscilla, Wanderer, Moose, Ethelka, Cindy, Petrel, Iris, 
Sachem, White Cap, and Micaboo; tbe yawl Keto, and 
the cats Aida and Emmeline. 
Out of the number starting, only twelve finished. One 
craft, Novice, owned by A. L. Sands, of Newport, failed 
to round tbe outer turn and was disqualified by the Race 
Committee, the prize being awarded to Little Rhody 
instead. The owner, Commodore Tillinghast, of the 
Bristol Y. C. declined the trophy, and a committee con¬ 
sisting of members of the Rhode Island, Edgewood and 
Fall River yacht clubs were appointed to award the prize. 
The prize in the third class was awarded to Petrel, 
owned by A. E. Johnson, of Providence. The prizes 
were three handsome cups, given by James A. Garland, 
of the Bristol Y. C. 
Yachts participating were of the Rhode Island, Edge- 
wood, Newport, New Bedford, and Fall River yacht 
clubs. The summary of the race follows:
