FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept, i, 1906. 
This time Bonidrei was favored, and from fourth 
place advanced to first, making a total gain of 
12m. 23s. She made the best time on the run 
home and won by a safe margin. 
The times: 
Bonedrei . 2 26 55 Chewink VII.2 31 00 
Bonidrei . 2 26 55 Auk . 2 33 55 
On Saturday, the 23,1 h, the fourth race was 
sailed. The wind at the start was light E.S.E., 
and full of calm streaks. Auk and Bonidrei 
worked the east shore while the other pair stood 
seaward, thereby losing the advantage of a strong 
easterly current inshore. Bonidrei led Auk 
slightly all the way to the weather mark, and 
they both gave the other two a tremendous lick¬ 
ing, about 15m. The next leg, a reach, was in 
very light airs, Bonidrei gaining on Auk and 
Manchester passing Chewink VII. The third Jeg 
of the course, a rectangular one, was nothing 
but a drift, but Bonidrei continued to gain. The 
last leg was a race against time to beat out the 
time limit, and this Bonidrei succeeded in doing, 
thus being the first boat to score two wins out 
of the necessary three. The times show what a 
farcical event the race was: 
Bondrei . 3 18 15 Manchester . 3 35 12 
Bonidrei . 3 18 15 Chewink VII. 3 38 45 
Thus Auk, selected for the all-America trio, 
failing to take one of the first four series, is 
barred from further competi ion in this series, 
and critics of the Eastern Y. C.’s committee swell 
with the proud spirit of “I told you so.” 
The three German representatives are getting- 
in fine shape with daily spins at Marblehead. 
Close hauled in a good breeze and lumpy sea, the 
Gluckauf IV. seems decidedly faster than Tillie 
VI. 
After considerable backing and filling the entire 
schedule of dates for the Cape Cod circuit' of 
the Y. R. A. was abandoned at the eleventh hour 
and fifty-ninth minute. The reasons were lack 
of interest, no local boats and few boats to go 
on the circuit as the “Cape cats” are the only 
Y. R. A. class that fills consistently this summer, 
and although Cape cats, they evidently are not 
of ‘‘the cat came back” variety.

Manhassei Cruising Race. 
The yearly race offered by the Marblehead Bay Y. C. 
to Stratford Shoal and return, 70 miles, was won this 
year by Joy, the Class Q boat from Gravesend Bay that 
has done so well. Joy was sailed by her designer, Mr. 
C. D. Mower. There were seventeen entries, and it was 
a great disappointment that there was not more wind. 
Rube, first boat in, covered the course in 16h. 58m.

The Hartford Y. C., which is on its annual cruise,

The Lipton Cup Races. 
Chicago, Ill., Aug. 22.—After serious ructions that for 
weeks threatened to wreck what promised to be the 
greatest race for the Sir Thomas Lipton challenge cup, 
emblematic of the 21ft. championship of the Great Lakes, 
the race closed here' yesterday, with great success, and 
Cherry Circle, representing the Chicago Athletic Asso¬ 
ciation yachtsmen, won after a desperately close finish 
that threatened to prolong the struggle beyond the 
originally planned three races and bring about a tie for 
first place, necessitating an extra race. Here is the way 
the boats finished, figuring on percentage: 
1st Race. 2d Race. 3d Race. Total. 
Cherry Circle . 100.0 100.0 66.7 1,66.7 
Billposter . 66.7 77.8 100.0 244.5 
Raven . 77.8 88.9 55.6 222.1 
Mendota . 66.7 44.4 88.7 199.8 
Milwaukee . 88.8 66.7 44.4 199.9 
Toledo . 66.7 33.3 77.8 177.8 
New Illinois . 66.7 22.2 11.1 100.0 
*Yo San . 66.7 . 33.3 100.0 
*Yo San broke down in the second race. 
The first race of the series was held Saturday, Aug. 18. 
The squabble over the bilge rudders which for weeks 
promised to upset the good work done by the Lipton 
Cup Committee, which resulted in the building of nine 
new contestants for the trophy, cut down the fleet of 
starters to nine boats, of which three were former com¬ 
petitors, Yo San, Quien Sabe and Mendota, and. six 
were new boats. The boats represented five organiza¬ 
tions. From the Toledo Y. C. came Toledo; from the 
Milwaukee Y. C., Commodore Vilas’ old Mendota, and 
the new syndicate boat, Milwaukee; J. II. Fearnside’s 
Raven represented the Canadian yachtsmen; Columbia 
Y. C. sent the U. J. Herrman syndicate boat, Billposter, 
Herbert Mills’ Ouien Sabe and David T. Hammond’s 
Yo San. The Chicago Athletic Association yachtsmen 
entered the sailing field with Cherry Circle, owned by 
a syndicate promoted and managed by Fred A. Price, 
former Commodore of the Columbia club, and William 
Hale Thompson, President of the New Illinois Athletic 
Club, sent his New Illinois to fight for the yellow, 
purple and red. 
The day of the race was gloomy and leaden, with 
light fitful breezes that barely stirred the waters. Most 
of the boats took early tow out to the starting line, 
which was two miles from shore, and served as the base 
of the equilateral triangle of two miles to the leg, over 
which the boats had to sail twice.

“What the Boston Transcript is in the newspaper field the NEW ENGLAND 
MAGAZINE is in the magazine field. It reaches the homes of New England people, 
and is treasured by them for its many interesting illustrated articles. 
“W’hile it is especially devoted to New England history and life, it is also well filled 
with articles of general importance and the best of stories. 
“It does not forget that there is more of New England west of the Hudson River 
to-day than east of it, and that to thousands in the great Western States it goes as a 
voice from he old homes. 
“It believes it would not be true to itself if, doing justice to local subjects, keeping 
in mind the streams which the little hill country has poured into the rest of the country, 
it did not also keep its pages sprinkled always with these things which remind its readers 
that above all else they are citizens of the world. 
“The character and quality of its circulation is of the best.’’
