[Aug. ii, 1906. 
New York Y. C. Cruise. 
An easterly storm with heavy rain marred the ren¬ 
dezvous of the New York Y. C. fleet at Glen Cove on 
Thursday, Aug. 2. Nearly all day the rain poured down 
and sadly spoiled what would have been a pretty spec¬ 
tacle. The yachts began to arrive off Station No. 10 
early in the morning and continued to do so all day long. 
According to the commodore’s orders, the fleet was to 
rendezvous at 5 o’clock, and just before that hour the 
rain stopped, and then Commodore Cornelius Vander¬ 
bilt, on the flagship North Star, steamed into the harbor 
and was saluted by all the yachts in the fleet. Signals 
were set at once calling a meeting of the captains, and 
at that meeting some minor details of the cruise were 
discussed. It was decided to carry out the programme 
as arranged. by the Regatta Committee, as far as the 
racing was concerned, and it was also agreed that harbor 
starts should be made at 8:30 o’clock and the races 
started an hour later. On board the flagship a hand¬ 
some display of silverware was made. In all nineteen 
cups were shown. The most prominent of these was the 
King’s cup, which is to be raced for the first time when 
the fleet gets to Newport. There were the two Astor 
cups, which will also be raced for off Newport, and the 
cups offered by the flag officers for squadron runs. 
Commodore Vanderbilt offered two schooner and two 
sloop cups for the run from New London to New¬ 
port. Vice-Commodore Henry Walters offered similar 
cups for the run from Morris Cove to New London. 
Rear-Commodore S. L. Husted offered four cups for 
the run from Glen Cove to Morris Cove. Commodore 
Vanderbilt gave two cups for the run to Vineyard 
Haven, and Vice-Commodore Walters two for the run 
back to Newport. 
After the meeting the yachtsmen returned to their 
own vessels, and in the evening were again on board 
the flagship at a reception held by Commodore Vander¬ 
bilt. The 7th Regiment band was on board the North 
Star and helped make things a little livelier than they 
would have been. 
In spite of the rain there was a large fleet at Glen 
Cove. More than 100 yachts were counted, and among 
these were nearly all the crack racers in the fleet, many 
of the large steam yachts, auxiliaries and cruisers. 
Squadron Run—Glen Cove to Morris Cove—Aug. 3 
The storm lasted over Friday, when the run was 
from Glen Cove to Morris Cove. The wind was steady 
from the E. all day and made it a beat of 39 miles to 
the Breakwater off Morris Cove. This did not affect 
the racing yachtsmen, and as soon as the harbor start 
was made, they went to the starting line made by the 
Regatta Committee off Week’s Point. The committee, 
Messrs. H. de B. Parsons, Ernest Lorillard and W. E. 
Kerr, were on board the tug Catherine Moran for the 
starts and finishes of the races and at other times on the 
flagship. 
The first class, the 30-footers, was sent away at 9:40 
o’clock. They crossed the line on the starboard tack 
in this order: Dahinda, Cara Mia, Alera, Neola, Minx, 
Phryne, Atair and Banzai. On the next gun Mimosa 
III., Gardenia, Humma, Altair, Doris, Pelegrina and 
Phantom started in the order named. ' Effort led the 
Irolita, followed by Hester, Neola and Weetamoe. 
Yankee led in the next class, with Rainbow on her 
weather quarter, and to windward of her the Vigilant. 
Sybarita was 4m. late, but she started after Vigilant. 
In the small divisions of schooners Muriel was first 
away followed by Katrina, Crusader, Simitar, Andromeda 
Ariel, Venona and Eclipse. On the next signal Corona 
led the Elnnna, Queen, Lasca and Invader, and the 
auxiliaries started in this order: Endymion, Cachalot 
Vencedor,’ Seneca, Idler, Invincible, Tekla and Ariadne. 
Only a few short tacks were made on the Long Island 
side of the Sound, and then all stood across to the 
Connecticut shore and fetched about Green’s Ledge 
Light off Norwalk. Yankee at that time had a good 
lead on Rainbow; Vigilant was leading Sybarita. Effort 
was the leading boat in her class, and Oueen was far 
ahead of any of the other schooners. The interest in 
the contest centered in these yachts, and in view of the 
race for the King s cup, was an exceedingly interesting 
one. Queen showed up splendidly and overhauled all 
the yachts in the fleet, except Yankee. Mr. Harrv L 
Maxwell cleverly handled his yacht, and finished first’ 
winning from Rainbow. Queen was next, and then 
came Vigilant, followed by Rainbow, Effort, Sybarita, 
Weetamoe Elmina, Neola and Corona. 
The performance of Effort was one that stamped her 
as a very smart boat. She was- very close to the 70- 
footers and yawls -at the finish, and on corrected time 
she won. turning to windward in a steady breeze 
to ?, e he / ftr ,°pg point of sailing. She beat 
\\ eetamoe 11m. 5s., which is sufficient to show how she 
was sailing. 
\ igilant beat Sybarita 3m. 55s. But for her handioan 
at the start Sybarita would have won. Humma won in 
the 51ft. class from Altair and Doris, and the other 
sloop winners were Mimosa III. and Neola II. 
t he committee made some special classifications for 
the schooners. Invader sailed alone and was ordv 
competing for the rear-commodore’s cup. In the 90 t 
c ass Queen beat the Elmina and Corona A special 
° f Mur ' ie ,‘’ , Arie1 ' Lasca and Endymion 
and this Muriel won with dots to spare. Another class 
was made of the Katrina, Andromeda, Crusader and 
Eclipse, and this Katrina won. Venona beat Simitar 
m the small class. The auxiliaries were divided at 70ft 
waterline and the wunners of the two classes were 
Idler and V encedor. I he summaries which follows give

Squadron Run—Morris Cove to New London, Aug. 4. 
It was another story on Saturday. The rain fell in 
torrents all the night that the yachts were at anchor 
in Morris Cove, but toward morning it stopped, and the 
east wind died out. There were no signs that it had 
gone, but in its stead it left haze and fog and not a 
breath of wind. It was so light when the yachts went 
out to the starting line off the Breakwater Light, that 
the committee had to postpone the race, and it was 10:15 
o’clock before a gentle southwesterly wind fanned the 
surface of the water. Then they were sent off. The run 
was to New London, 39% miles, and it meant a broad 
reach. The thirties went first, in this order: Dahinda, 
Neola II., Alera, Altair, Cara Mia, Minx, Tabasco, 
Phryne and Banzai. They crossed on the starboard 
tack and had balloon jibs up. Gardenia, Humma, Pele¬ 
grina, Mimosa III., Altair, Doris, Janet and Phantom 
were next off in order, and then came the 60-footers. 
Weetamoe was first at the leeward end of the line, 
Irolita to windward of her and Effort on Irolita’s 
weather quarter, well berthed. Then came Hester and 
Neola. Vigilant and Sybarita went over the line almost 
together, with Vigilant to windward, and to windward 
of her was Yankee. Capt. Barr gave some excitement 
to the start by sending Rainbow in between the com¬ 
mittee boat and Yankee, and every one expected a foul; 
but the boats just cleared, and all hands breathed easier. 
The order of the others was Katrina, Muriel to leeward, 
Venona, Crusader, Andromeda, Simitar, Corona. In¬ 
vader, Queen. Elmina, Lasca, Emerald, Seneca, Cachalot, 
Vencedor, Tekla. Intrepid, Idler, Invincible and Ariadne. 
Yankee soon drew clear of Rainbow and held a more 
southerly course. Queen and Effort also kept well to 
the south, while Elmina sailed so as to just clear 
Faulkner’s Island, and she was followed in this course 
by Weetamoe and the sloops of the 57ft. class. About 
noon Weetamoe was leading the fleet, with Effort close 
up. Yankee was a long way ahead of Rainbow. Vigilant 
was far ahead of Sybarita, and Queen led Corona, but 
Elmina was much further north. Off Faulkner’s Island 
at 1:15 a change had taken place. Those yachts well 
Yachting continued on page 233.
