Forest and Stream will give a weekly digest of Yachting and Motor Boating events from all over the country. 
The Week’s Yachting Digest. 
So much attention is centered on regattas on 
the coast that the great big events on Lake 
Michigan very often are overlooked. One of 
these which deserves more than casual mention 
is the race for the Lipton trophy, won last Sat¬ 
urday by Commodore James O. Hey worth’s yawl 
Polaris. She beat the Class P Syndicate boat 
Olympian, sailed by Roy Barcal, the last year’s 
cup defender Michicago, Mavourneen, Seboo- 
mook, and finished 23s. ahead of Olympian. The 
Heyworth boat Olympian won the Cloarec cup 
for 35-footers handily. So anxious was Michicago 
to beat Olympian that she carried away her mast 
on the third leg, which will probably put her 
out of the races at the Perry centennial. On 
July 4, Commodore PIeyworth sailed Olympian 
in the Lake Michigan Y. A. regatta, beating 
easily Michicago, leading the fleet from the start. 
In the schooner class Nomad, sailed by her 
owner, G. H. Atkins, beat Nahant by about 18m. 
Among the 30-footers Widsith was the winner, 
while in the 35-foot class Seboomook had no 
difficulty in getting away with Josephine. In 
the “pup” class, Fido trimmed Seventy-seven 
with the Betak trailing. 
At Larchmont on the Fourth of July in 
the New York Yacht Club fifties, Acushla 
won by twenty-three seconds. Other winners 
were: Stamford schooner class, Hopewell; 
Sound schooner class, Vandalia; handicap class, 
first division, Alert; handicap class, second 
division, Veda; handicap class, third division, 
Robin Hood II.; handicap class, fourth division, 
Sybilla apparently, and if she qualifies for the 
class; Larchmont interclub class, Wild Thyme; 
Jewel class, Turquoise; Class R, Virginia; Man- 
hasset Bay (old) class, Pixy; Manhasset Bay 
(new) class, Scylla; Star class. Twinkle; New 
Rochelle class, La Rochelle; dory class, Tautog; 
Bug class, Dragon Fly. 
On July 5 in the New York Y. C. regatta 
Acushla again won in the New York Y. C. fifty 
class, while once more the expert sailing of W. 
Butler Duncan brought his little sound schooner 
in a winner by more than 3m., with the Moira 
second. In the special schooner F class, George 
P. Scotts Moira was the winner. Class P 
Windward was the only boat to finish. New 
York Y. C. thirties did not finish. At the River¬ 
side Y. C. too much wind almost spoiled the 
regatta. It necessitated abandoning the regular 
course for one of ten miles windward and re¬ 
turn. Winners were Wild Thyme in the Larch¬ 
mont interclub class; Teaser, Baside birds; 
Gypsy in handicap; Barnacle, among the Green¬ 
wich dories. In the Bayside Y. C. on July 4, 
the squall capsized a number of craft; never¬ 
theless the regatta went merrily on with wins 
as follows: Among the birds, Curlew and Sky¬ 
lark won designs; Mary Jane, Butterfly, Cabbage, 
while in the handicap. Silver Heels finished first. 
At the Beverly Y. C. winners were Kim V. 
by is. in the 21-foot class; sonder class Peg, 
Crane one-design, Herreshoff one-design, Awah- 
nee, sailed by Miss Frances Webster. 
The Duxbury Y. C. in the 18-foot class 
again was the winner by 3m. In the 15-foot 
class Kit won by 43s. In the 14-foot class Midget 
won by 6s. At Annisquam the winners were 
Tabasco in Class B, Catspaw in the one-design 
catboats. 
The Manchester Y. C. held the open race 
for the North Shore championship, and many 
protests were entered for one reason or another, 
which, combined with a squall and dead calm, 
made rather unsatisfactory the day’s results. 
The event was won by Sayonara in Class P. 
The Bar Harbor class event was won by Vera 
III.; second special rating class by Mirage II.; 
sonder class by Otter; Marblehead 17-footers by 
Atlanta; Manchester one-design class by Clarise. 
In the Nahant Dory Club eleven bugs sailed 
a close race, there being only eleven minutes be¬ 
tween the first and the last to finish. Bambino 
won by 10s. from Midge. 
At the Quincy Y. C., of the sixty-two boats 
entered, sixty-one finished. The wind was light, 
but the day generally satisfactory. The win¬ 
ners were: Class A, Meemer; Class B, Lethe; 
Class H, Wanderer IV.; Class I., Louise; Class 
X, Bettie C.; Class S. Maritza II.; Class D, 
Clara. Cabin power boats, Gertrude; open 
power boats, Girard; Boston Y. C. 15-footers, 
Nicknack II. In the combined class of the Lling- 
ham and Winthrop Y. C. one-design 15-footers, 
the winner was No. 12, from the Hingham Y. C. 
At the Red Bank Y. C. the most successful 
regatta of the season was held on July 4 over 
the Shrewsbury course. The classification of 
the race was for Classes H, F and handicap, and 
a special race for sons of club members under 
sixteen years of age sailing Class G yachts. 
The start was made by a one-gun signal at 
10:35 w dh these entries in Class H: Adolph 
Hupfel’s Dolphin, J. F. James’s May Win, J. 
Wilson’s Ripple, H. S. Wilkinson’s Sea Foam, 
R. L. Clark’s Defender and John G. Gillies’s 
Papoose. These yachts in Class F were started 
five minutes later: Jacob Hupfel’s Whim and 
Harold James’s Babe. In Class H, May Win 
took the lead and maintained her position 
throughout the race and won over Dolphin by 
37m. 10s. The second yacht, Papoose, was the 
winner in the handicap race by 8m. 20s. She, 
being a smaller boat, received 14m. 28s. handi¬ 
cap. May Win was second in this class. The 
boys’ race was won by Babe, which won over 
Whim by 27m. 15s. Ripple, defender, and Sea 
Foam, in Class H, did not finish on account of 
accidents. 
At the American Y. C., J. P. Morgan’s 
Grayling won in the fleet of seven New York 
Y. C. fifties by 2m. 3s. In Class P, A. J. 
Hanan’s Josephine once more hung it over 
Joyant, this time by 3m. 4s. Rowdy won among 
the New York Y. C. thirties. Ahmacola fin¬ 
ished ahead in the Stamford schooners by im. 
6s. In the handicap class, Sally IX. won the 
first division. J. W. Alker’s Alerion was alone 
in the second division and did not finish, while 
Twinkle beat Circe in the third division by 
more than 5m. 
The third of the elimination races for the 
selection of German representatives to partici¬ 
pate in the sonder class regatta off Marblehead, 
Mass., in September, was won by Resi V., owned 
by Julius Stahn, of Berlin. Prince Eitel Fried¬ 
rich’s Elizabeth was second and Serum, owned 
by Waldemar Tietgens, of Hamburg, third. 
Tilly XVII., owned by Prince Henry, of Prussia, 
and C. V. Krogmann, of Hamburg, and Angela, 
owned by the Crown Prince, were fourth and 
fifth. 
This second victory gives Resi V. the series 
and the Samoa cup, offered by Emperor William. 
Resi V., Tilly XVII. and Serum will most 
probably be selected to proceed to Marblehead, 
but it is not known whether Prince Henry of 
Prussia intends to race his yacht in America. 
John A. Crowley’s Ediana won the Deep 
Sea cup of the Brooklyn Y. C. in the ocean race 
around Long Island, covering the 280 knots in 
52h. 48m. 27s. As she was the scratch boat, it 
also was her corrected time. The second boat 
was E. R. Stoddard’s Amada, representing the 
New Rochelle Y. C., the defending organization. 
R. N. Bavier’s Hyperon was third. 
Motor Boating. 
Among the motor boats the principal in¬ 
terest centered in the speed trials at Cold Spring 
Harbor, where J. Stewart Blackton was to try 
out his new 700 horsepower Reliance. The trial 
proved most unsatisfactory, the hydroplane not 
coming anywhere near the expected speed. He 
had hoped for a mile a minute; the best he got 
was a mile in one minute twelve and nine-tenths 
seconds, an average of forty-nine and forty-one 
one-hundredths miles over a six-mile course. 
Ankle Deep made a mile in one minute fifteen 
and three-tenths seconds, averaging 47.1442 miles 
an hour. The entries for the Perry Centennial 
free-for-all and class races for hydroplanes now 
include the Kitty Hawk V. and Kitty Hawk, Jr., 
owned by H. H. Timken.
