Brooklyn Y. C. 
3S3d Regatta—July T. 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 383d regatta from its club 
house on Saturday. The event was the first Corinthian 
race of the season, and therefore the first championship 
race. The wind was from the N.E. and light, averaging 
perhaps 8 knots per hour. 
There were seven entries in the 21-footers, and these 
boats were sent to Bow Bells and back’. Arethusa won 
by a comfortable margin. Owl was protested by Rosa¬ 
mond, and since it was impossible to get witnesses to¬ 
gether at the time, the protest cannot be settled until a 
full meeting of the Regatta Committee is had. 
There were three entries in the 18ft. one-design class, 
and twelve in the 15ft. one-design class. Both of these 
one-design classes were sent to Bird Island and back. 
Wanderer, in the 18s won by 7s., and Peacock in the 15s 
won by 11s. 
3S4th Regatta—July 14. 
The Beverly Y. C. sailed its 384th regatta from its club 
house on Saturday. The event was the second Corin¬ 
thian race of the season. A light N.E. wind, which 
prevailed during the morning, strengthened as the day 
w'ore on, and the race was sailed with a fresh breeze 
from N.E., which gave some of the boats all they wanted 
with full sail. 
The 21-footers started down the bay for Bow Bells with 
spinnakers set. The eight boats in the class reached 
this point close together, and turned on the wind without 
any great advantage to any. Mr. Crane in his Amanita 
III. had a short lead. In the fresh breeze, Barnacle at 
once began to move up through the fleet, and took the 
lead before Bird Island was reached, and held it to the 
finish. No other boat bothered Mr. Crane, and he fin¬ 
ished in second place 2m. ahead of the third boat. Terra¬ 
pin. Terrapin was sailed by Mr. F. L. Dabney, who has 
not-been racing very regularly of late, and therefore did 
not know' that the boats were required to keep outside of 
Bird Island buoy No. 13. He unfortunately went inside, 
and was ruled out of the race, although his doing so 
gave him little, if any, advantage. 
There were four entries for the first time this year in 
the 18ft. class, and they were sent to Bird Island and 
back, and the 15s. to Abiel’s Ledge, Mosher’s Rock, and 
return. Wanderer won in the 18s and Miss Codman’s 
Yalu won in the 15s. Seeps was second; only 26s. be¬ 
hind. The times in detail follow:

Atlantic Y. C. 
Havens Cup — July 11. 
THE third race for the Havens cup was sailed off the 
Atlantic Y. C. on Wednesday, in a light air, over a 
course, twdee around, of 12 miles. The race was for 
Class M and under, and Jig Step sailed with the Q boats, 
but could not save her time. Owing to the absence of 
the Regatta Committee, several ladies—Mrs. Hendon 
Chubb, Mrs. W. A. Barstow and Mrs. F. C. Havens— 
managed and started the race, and it was very well done, 
indeed. 
There is a protest on the race sailed on June 27, which, 
if it is allowed, will give Joy the cup. The committee is 
expected to render a decision very soon. The summary 
follows:

regatta of the Brooklyn \ . C. Fcr the first time in two 
years the larger classes con'd not finish and be timed, as

Indian Harbor Y. C. Interclub. 
Thursday, July 12. 
The Indian Harbor Y. C. managed the interclub races 
for the New York 30-footers, and the raceabout classes. 
The wind was very light, the yachts sailing a 9%-mile 
course to windward and return. The score was by points, 
of which Indian Harbor Y. C. got 12. The entries were: 
Nautilus, Banzai, and Neola. The Manhasset Bay Y. C. 
got 9 points; Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C., 8 points, and 
the American Y. C., 7 points. The raceabout class re- 
suited in a tie between Tartan and Chinook, Indian 
Harbor Y. C., and Busy Bee and The Kid, American 
Y. C. The race will be re-sailed after the end of the 
Larchmont race week. The times follow:

Stamford Y. C. 
July 14. 
In the power boat races of the Stamford Y. C. on 
Saturday, there was a good list of entries, but the break¬ 
downs were so numerous as to spoil any semblance of a 
contest. The following were the times: 
Buddie. W. P. Atkins, Passaic River Y. C., winner; 
course 22^ miles in 1.21.30. White Fox, Walter Fer¬ 
guson, Stamford Y. C., second; course 22*4 miles in 
1.34.10, having a handicap of 12m. 10s. 
In the second division—Class J—Mr. J. Torrance’s 
Tornay made 2214 miles in 1.51.20. Den, Mr. J.-H. Hoad- 
ley, started and broke down 
Royal St. Lawrence Y. C. 
Dorval—July 11. 
In the race on Wednesday for the Seawanhaka boats 
over a 4-mile course at Lake St. Louis, the new boat 
Dorval, in spite of a bad start, came in second, and much 
is 'expected when the crew gets into, shape. Dorval is 
owned by a syndicate composed of Messrs. S. A. Finley, 
R. J. Mercur and H. D. Bayne. Thorella is owned by 
Mr. W. C. Finley, and was handled by Mr. Chas. H. 
Routh, and was an easy winner by 4m. Alexandra was 
sailed by Mr: Shirley Davidson. 
King Edward VII.’s New Racing Yacht. 
This season has produced no topic of more absorbing 
interest to the yachting men of Britain—or, indeed, to 
the yachting men of Europe—than the announcement we 
were able to make last week that His Majesty the King 
was negotiating for the building of a successor to his 
racing cutter Britannia. So great is that interest that, 
although it is only a few days since the first hint of that 
proposal was given, there is already some little disap¬ 
pointment expressed that no additional news—news of a 
more definite character—is as yet forthcoming. The im¬ 
patience is easy to understand and to excuse. The ap¬ 
pearance of a Royal racing cutter in t-he first class will 
undoubtedly affect the whole complexion of the coming 
season. That His Majesty may enjoy the best that our 
sport has to offer, it is necessary that there should be a 
class strong enough and good enough to make that keen 
opposition which is the life ■ and the essence of sport. 
There need be no possible doubt on the question as to 
whether such opposition will be forthcoming. While His 
Majesty the King—as heir to the throne—owned and 
raced Britannia, there were plenty of racing owners who 
were quick to realize that the Royal yachtsman desired 
sport rather than prizes, and the resources of the coun¬ 
try, as they stood at that time, were exhausted in pro¬ 
viding an abundance of the best opposition that could 
be made to Britannia’s career of triumph. The spirit is 
as strong to-day as ever it was, and there are no doubt 
many good yachting men who—with abounding loyalty 
and a superlative regard for the sport—will do their best 
to make a Royal cutter race hard for every flag that goes 
under her burgee. 
This ranks as a necessity of the first order, and that it 
may be duly provided for timely authoritative informa¬ 
tion of the proposals which are afoot is necessary. The 
nature of the opposition to be provided depends largely 
upon the class and rating of the cutter which His 
Majesty the King proposes to build. This is one of the 
points upon which early and specific information is earn¬ 
estly desired. There are, however, reasons for believing 
that the lines suggested in the preliminary negotiations 
are such as make it moderately certain that the opposi¬ 
tion necessary to make sport will be readily forthcoming. 
The rating suggested, if not already decided upon, for the 
royal racer, is very like that of Mr. Young’s new cutter 
Nyria, and therefore very close also to the rating ot 
Mr. Kennedy’s White Heather. The new International 
rule of rating follows the rule which went before it in 
discouraging, by a graduated scale of rating allowances, 
the building of racers of excessive size. Up to about the 
size at which Nyria and White Heather rate the rating 
penalty imposed as against yachts of smaller size is so 
adjusted that it is a difficult matter to say whether the 
advantage lies with the yacht of greater or lesser rating. 
Above that, however, the higher the rating goes, the 
heavier does the penalty become, until in the case ot 
yachts of extreme size it is probable that in the course of 
a season’s sport it would be found that the excessive size 
was rather a handicap than an advantage. Sir James 
Pender’s Kariad would still have to be reckoned with, 
but it is unlikely that a Royal racer, built now to the 
best requirements of the class, would fail to secure her 
fair share of the prizes against the Watson cutter. 
Even granting, however, that there is a reasonable 
amount cf opposition for a new Britannia already in 
sight, there is still good reason for the general anxiety 
to hear more of this proposal, and in particular to hear 
an authoritative and particular corroboration of the state¬ 
ments, with some indication of the class of cutter likely 
to be built to it. In this regard there is unlikely to be 
any unnecessary delay in making the announcement when 
any sort of final decision is reached. There can be little 
doubt that the opportunity of encouraging and develop¬ 
ing the sport—a sport which is more truly British in its 
character than any of the others which have claimed 
attention—has weighed with His Majesty in the considera¬ 
tion,of the project. That this encouragement should have its 
full effect and value, it is of course necessary that the 
scheme should be made known to the general body of 
yachting men, and particularly to those likely to take a 
personal interest in the matter, as soon as it has been 
definitely settled. This wms done in the building of 
Britannia, and the fact that no formal intimation re¬ 
garding the building of a Britannia II. has been given 
may be accepted as a negative kind of proof that the 
matter has not yet reached to a stage at which any of¬ 
ficial notification can be given. There are many con¬ 
siderations to be weighed in the building of a yacht of 
this class, and it is probable that the first hint of the 
matter leaked out before the negotiations had quite 
reached a stage at which any public intimation was de¬ 
sirable. Fortunately, the season is yet early. There is 
still ample time for anything that may be proposed to 
meet the altered conditions which would come with the 
building of a royal racer. Apart from a natural im¬ 
patience. there is no necessity for. rushing the matter, 
and while waiting, we would only take the opportunity 
of wishing the negotiations an early and successful ter¬ 
mination.—London Yachting World. 
Crescent A. C. 
New York Harbor—July 17. 
The weekly race for the dory class of the Crescent A.C: 
took place on Sunday over a 4%-mile course off the club 
house, and proved to be one of the best races .sailed this 
season. It was won by Mr. G. W. Smith’s Sport, by 19s. 
The summary follows: 
Eighth Series Race for Crescent Dories—Start 12:10.

Mamie has three races to her credit, and Sport, Spray, 
New Moon, Wasp and Zip have one each. Two more 
races are yet to be sailed in the series. Mamie has a good 
lead on the total of points scored.
