obvious comment is that archery will hardly 
compete with rifle shooting, hitting the coon’s 
head with the baseball, and similar seaside diver¬ 
sions, as arrows cannot be shot fast enough by 
novices to rake in as much coin as the more 
rapid and more accustomed sports named. How¬ 
ever, the shooting has attracted a large crowd, 
and there were plenty of people in line waiting 
to handle the bow and arrows as fast as their 
turns came. 
The proprietors of the Nassau Hotel at Long 
Beach, Long Island, are arranging to install 
archery for their guests. They expect to have 
tournaments and offer prizes, and hope to de¬ 
velop the sport in popularity. 
Forest and Stream will give a weekly digest of Yachting and Motor Boating events from all over the country. 
The Week Among the Clubs. 
The most important yachting event of the 
past week was the sixty-fourth annual New 
York Y. C. regatta, sailed on Long Island Sound 
on Thursday. The Plant schooner Elena beat 
the Clark Irolita, winning the James Gordon 
Bennett cup for schooners. The sloop Grayling, 
owned by J. P. Morgan, won the James Gordon 
Bennett cup in the sloop class. 
In the New York 30’s, H. S. Duell’s Rowdy 
won by nearly three minutes. The beautiful 
little sound schooner class furnished a pretty 
event, being won by William Butler Duncan’s 
Vandalia by im. 37s. Mr. Duncan’s handling 
of this little schooner shows that he has lost 
none of his cunning as one of the best amateur 
yacht sailers on Long Island Sound. This re¬ 
gatta was conceded to be the best ever held by 
the New York Y. C. 
The next event of importance was the an¬ 
nual regatta of the New Rochelle Y. C., sailed 
on Saturday. Particular interest centered in the 
Class P sloop event, as much attention is being 
given to Addison C. Hanan’s one-design Joseph¬ 
ine. She was, however, beaten by W. H. Child’s 
Joyant by a margin of 10s. Rowdy won in the 
New York Y. C. 30’s. W. Butler Duncan sailed 
E. Randolph’s Spartan to victory in the New 
York Y. C. 50’s, the other winners being Nepsi, 
Movia, Mignon, Gypsy, Twinkle, Lillian, Coot, 
Wild Thyme, Mile. Boss, Jade, Loon, Virginia, 
Gar, Tautog and as usual George Corey’s Little 
Dipper got away with a cup. 
In the Atlantic Y. C. regatta on Saturday 
the largest fleet of the year was sailed off Sea 
Gate in Class Q, which for the first time this 
year had its entire membership. Spider, owned 
by Hendon Chubb, won by more than 2m. Other 
winners were Joy, M. & F., Oriole and Skylark. 
In the Stamford Y. C. regatta on Saturday 
three classes raced at the same time. Among 
the schooners Alemakela was first in the one- 
designs. Dart won. In the Red Wing class 
Bartholomew Jacob’s boat finished first. 
At the Canarsie Y. C., the winners were 
Nainie and Selfish. 
At Savin Hill Y. C. the winners were 
Meemer, Olivia, Zidana, Wawenock, Iris, Louise, 
Elizabeth, Bessie and Zui Zia. 
At Quincy three classes sailed, the winners 
being Hush, which incidentally is the only boat 
to have beaten Gleamer this season, Romaine and 
Yarita. 
At the Gloucester Y. C. the winners were 
Clorinda and Sumaki. Each of their competitors 
failed to finish. 
At Beverly Y. C. much satisfaction was 
evinced over the increase in entrants in the 
21 and 15-foot classes. The day’s winners were 
Ivacoona, Peg, Water Witch and Anita. 
On Wednesday the Seawanhaka Corinthian 
regatta brought out two of the New York Y. C. 
50’s—Acushla and Spartan repeated history for 
the first time and sailed a dead heat. Irolita 
and Elena came together once more with Elena 
a winner. The four Class P boats started with 
the results that Josephine beat Joyant by 4m. 
Nepsi, sailed by Mrs. Johnston Forest, beat 
Phryne easily. Iris and Star were other win¬ 
ners. 
The Eastern Y. C. regatta on Saturday was 
an open event with forty-seven starters. The 
winners were Stranger, Cima, Mildred IV., 
Scarab, White Wings, Half Moon and North 
Star. 
At Wollaston Y. C. three classes were en¬ 
tered, the winners being Wanderer, Nautilus and 
Oaxaca. 
The big schooners, five in number, held their 
annual race from Newport to Marblehead for 
the Clark gold cup. Elena won by 40m., Irolita 
finishing second and Sea Fox third. 
At Bristol Y. C. on Saturday in the first 
open regatta the winners were Hugi, Olita, 
Bubble, Evelyn, Iseulo, Mblem and Gilt Edge. 
Among the motor boats, the big event of 
the week was the New York to Albany and re¬ 
turn race, under the auspices of the New York 
Motor B. C. There were three entries, among 
the cruisers being the Blue Peter V., owned by 
V. A. Naschman; Respite, owned by Dr. V. C. 
Pederson, and Excelsior, owned by Thomas 
Trolsen. Not only did the Blue Peter win this 
event of 235 miles, but she made a new record 
over the course, her time being 23b. 2m. 55s.
