deck are carried right across. There is a hatch to hold 
just forward ot the bulkhead. An oaken coaming begins 
right forward of the mast and comes clear alt to the end 
of the cockpit. This scheme is neat and simple, and 
seemed to give a good platform for the crew to work on 
and hand.e their sheets. Both boats had hollow spars 
by Pigeon, of East Boston. The suit of sails worn oy 
Soya were by Ratsey, and are in good shape. But 
Orestes suffered from a bad mainsail, which blew out ot 
shape somewhat by nasty weather coming around the 
Cape; in fact, she blew her jib out and had to have a 
new one. 
The littings on both boats are very neat and simple, 
and are of brass. It will come as a surprise to many 
to learn that all the deck beams of Orestes are of white 
pine, except the partners; and inside she is a beautiful 
piece of bracing. In all her hard weather she is not oui 
of shape. 
Orestes was designed by W. Starling Burgess, a son 
of the late Edward Burgess, and was built at the worns 
of Burgess & Packard, of which firm he is a member. 
Mr. Burgess is certainly to be congratulated with bring¬ 
ing out such a fine sweet boat, and one that will refleci 
much credit to his firm, as being fast, able and Weatherly, 
besides possessing a simplicity and good looks we would 
lain see on all our yachts. 
Mr. Clinton Crane designed Soya, and is too well- 
known as the designer of many successful small as well 
as big boats to require much introduction. It is signifi¬ 
cant that after the races he expressed himself as well 
satisfied with the weather and that his opinion was that 
Orestes sailed faster than they could with Soya. Cer¬ 
tainly it was a test of boats, for both Mr. Chas. Francis 
Adams 2d, and Mr. Clinton Crane handled their charges 
well, and nothing was left undone to obtain speed. 
On Friday a start was made for a race to leeward and 
return, but it was called oil at the end of the first round, 
when it was seen to be impossible to finish two rounds 
within the time limit. To leeward the boats encountered 
all kinds of wind, but Orestes worked out a nice lead, 
turning the leeward mark first and ending the round 
8m. 44s. ahead of Soya, and thus showing a fine ability 
to drift. 
Saturday opened dark and gray, with a strong wind 
from EV 2 S. The tug left Atlantic Y. C. pier at 9:30 and 
proceeded to the starting line off Brighton Beacli. 
Orestes and Soya sailed down under whole sail and 
weathered the steep water well, though it was wet for 
both crews. It was a day that ..those interested in Soya 
had been praying for. As for Orestes, they were just 
waiting, and simply wished for a breeze to drive the 
boats. Much or little, they took their chances without 
comment. At 10:30 the postponed race of Friday was 
started. Soya and Orestes made a fine start, but Mr. 
Crane got the best of it. The course was 2% miles to 
windward, twice around, and at the weather mark Orestes 
was lm. 27s. to the good. They both ran home with 
spinnakers. Orestes gained 35s. coming down the wind, 
and at the end of the round was 2m. 25s. ahead of het 
competitor. 
On the second round Orestes increased her lead. The 
times were: '

On all points of sailing in the first race Soya was out¬ 
classed. After luncheon and a rest the racing was re¬ 
sumed at 2:45. The weather had not changed, but had 
added rain and fog which fortunately did not get very 
thick. 
The start of the second race produced a foul, and be¬ 
fore the committee really knew what had happened, botn 
Mr. Crane and Mr. Adams asked for a new start, which 
was granted. The second race was triangular, 'and was 
to have been two rounds, but fog and squalls made it 
necessary to stop at the end of the first round. The first 
leg was to windward. Both boats made a good start, 
with Mr. Crane having a shade the best of it again. 
Orestes on the way out steadily increased her lead. 
Both boats were jumping, Soya taking dives; but Orestes 
fared better, seeming to have a bow more suited to it.

The second leg spinnakers were set to port.. Orestes 
had gained 4s. on her antagonist, but the heavy sea made 
it bad work and slow, as the boats lurched the wind out 
of their sails. The last leg was broad reach, ana 
Soya this time gained 16s. The race was called olt on 
account of fog, and Orestes declared the winner. Both 
boats sailed up to Gravesend. 
Next summer it is probable that a New York O boat 
may go to Massachusetts Bay and try conclusions tnere. 
I he fact remains after this successful match that a 22- 
footer is a good boat, and capable of doing some rough 
work, and affords a great amount of sport, as they are 
fast and handle nicely with four in the crew, a number 
that, though at all times not available, they can be 
sailed with three. 
The cost of these boats, as exemplified by the New 
York boats, is fairly high, but they are double planked 
mahogany, and are well fitted; but there is no doubt 
that a 22-footer could be gotten for something above 
$1,800. However, the real price ranges between $2,000 
and $3,000; and, considering the number of races and 
the popularity of this size of boat, there is nothing 
abnormal about the cost of racing this class. The out-

come of the intercity race is very satisfactory, and, the 
promotion of those feelings of rivalry between the 
Boston and New York yachtsmen is on the high road 
to permanent establishment.

Fall Regatta—Sept. 22. 
The Atlantic Y. C. closed its season with the fall 
regatta on Saturday. The easterly gale prevailing at the 
time did not bring out a large entry, and also the special 
match in the Q Class between Orestes and Soya reduced 
the interest. The times Were:
