July 26, 1913 
New Orleans Yachting. 
BY OUR STAFF CORRESPONDENT. 
Elizabeth, Captain Albert Mackie’s cabin 
cruiser, starting from the Southern Y. C.’s buoy 
at West End, New Orleans, at 5 p. M., July 2, 
won the race to Pensacola,' 190 miles, from 
Violet, Comet, Waif and Tokay, all of which 
motor cruisers started with the victorious Eliza¬ 
beth. Mackie’s boat finished in Pensacola July 3, 
at 10:22 a. m., establishing a new record of 
I7h. 22m. for the run. 
Like the famous Dream, which won the race 
to Bermuda both this year and last, Elizabeth 
also was winner of the 1912 New Orleans- 
Pensacola contest. Chairman Holmes Harrison, 
of the regatta committee of the Southern Y. C., 
left New Orleans immediately after starting the 
race, and went to Pensacola, where he welcomed 
Elizabeth in the name of the Southern Y. C., 
and also assisted in timing and judging the race 
and as an official of the Pensacola regatta. 
RESULTS OF PENSACOLA REGATTA. 
Results of the races in the second annual 
regatta of the Pensacola Y. C., attended by the 
motor boats from New Orleans, and held July 4, 
were as follows: 
Ten miles, cabin launches with speed under 
eight knots, won by Red Cloud, Frolic withdraw¬ 
ing, in 44m. 54s. 
Ten miles, cabin launches under ten knots, 
won by Reeba, Annie W., only other entrant 
withdrawing when squall came up, in 1.06.55. 
Five miles, open launches—Lyle, Raelon and 
Laurence S. started, but Lyle withdrew when 
sea began running heavy. Laurence S. ran away 
from the field, covering the distance in 1.05.05. 
Ten miles, for speed boats, no limit—Ora, 
without a competitor, made the run in 57m. 56s. 
Ten miles, motor cruisers—Starters, Peep 
o’Day, Tokay, Waif, Violet and Dorothy, the 
middle three being New Orleans boats. Dorothy 
made the run in 54.06, but lost on time allow¬ 
ance to Peep o’Day, whose actual running time 
was 1.32.12. Tokay came second, Waif third and 
Violet fourth. 
Reeba won the bang-and-go-back race from 
Annie W. without great effort. 
Lack of entries handicapped the regatta, but 
members of the Pensacola Y. C. made up for 
it by the handsome manner in which they re¬ 
ceived and entertained the visiting motor boat 
bugs from New Orleans. 
MACHINE SLOOPS AT WEST END. 
Target, owned and sailed by Captain Ed¬ 
ward H. Keep, winner, as already recorded in 
Forest and Stream, of the Legier cup, and the 
machine sloop championship of the South, again 
demonstrated her superiority over the fleet of 
six of the pretty racers here on July 4 by win¬ 
ning the Hugh McCloskey cup handily. 
Governor Luther E. Hall, of Louisiana, 
spent the afternoon of the Fourth at the 
club house at West End, but the wind refused 
to honor the executive with its presence, and 
the race became a snail-like procession of five 
yachts, from which Kathryn I. and Stranger 
withdrew, leaving Massachusetts, Seawanhaka 
and Target to fight out the contest. On cor¬ 
rected time, Massachusetts was third, and the 
showing of the former international champion 
in the light air was anything but good. 
Sprite, Squab and St. John, all dories, raced 
for the Holmes cup. They got off in a 
bunch, St. John leading, closely followed by 
Squab, which was trailed by Sprite. Outlegging 
St. John, Squab arrived at the stake about 5s. 
before the other boat, and St. John, coming up, 
collided nose-on with Squab. A protest was 
filed by Squab, and it was agreed to run the 
race over July 12. 
Cadillac Wins New Orleans-Biloxi Contest 
The able sailboat, Cadillac, owned by E. H. 
Wharton-Davies, and sailed by C. A. Sporl, won 
the sailboat race from New Orleans to Biloxi, 
Miss., June 30, thereby annexing also the hand¬ 
some Grunewald cup for this annual event. 
Agnes, mother of the New Orleans fleet of 
sloops, owned and sailed by Captain A. J. 
Leverich, was second, while Mettawee, owned by 
Luzenberg, Henriques & Company, and sailed by 
David Henriques, came third. 
Juanita, owned by Weaver, Aickles & Com¬ 
pany, and sailed by W. A. Weaver, withdrew, 
leaving Chewink III., owned by Landry & Mc¬ 
Kinney, and sailed by Alfred Landry, and Sin¬ 
ner, owned and sailed by S. E. Rollins, as re¬ 
maining competitors. Just below the draw in 
the long trestle over Lake Pontchartrain, 17^2 
miles from the starting point at West End, the 
little sloops encountered a heavy storm, but 
weathered it largely through the excellent sail¬ 
ing abilities of their skippers, who are noted 
among the yachtsmen of New Orleans for their 
handling of boats in rough weather. 
Stamford Y. C. 
The second leg for the Marion challenge 
cup was sailed by the Stamford Y. C. schooners 
over a six and one-half mile triangular course 
and was won by Hopewell, owned by I. E. Ray¬ 
mond by more than three minutes. 
Ocean Gate Y. C. 
At the Ocean Gate Y. C. motor boat race 
on Barnegat Bay, Captain Penwell’s St. Cloud 
won over Kathern S. Captain Williams’ Marion, 
which won the race last week, finished fourth. 
At the Red Bank Y. C. five raceabouts in 
Class G were started. Whim winning. Papoose 
was second. 
Larchmont Race Week. 
The big classic of Long Island Sound—the 
Larchmont Y. C. race week—opened last Satur¬ 
day with a record entry of 156 yachts, some¬ 
where about fifteen more than on any previous 
year. The wind conditions were unpopular with 
skippers of large and small. Among the New 
York Y. C. 50’s Harry Payne Whitney’s Barbara 
won by over 6m. from Samari. Addison Hanan’s 
cracker, Josephine, easily took up everything in 
Class P. Whileaway won the Stamford schooner 
class, while Algol won in the Manhasset Bay 
schooner class. W. Butler Duncan’s Vandalia 
was second. Nipsi took the New York Y. C. 
thirty event. Other winners were Arvia, Class 
Q; Wasp, special class; Evelyn, Buzzard’s Bay 
class; Rascal, American Y. C. raceabouts. Han¬ 
dicap classes—Alert, first division; Mist, second 
division; Twinkle, third division; Nadia, fourth 
division. The Larchmont interclub class went 
to Lewanna; the Bayside birds to Dodo; Glen- 
cove Jewels to Turquois; Port Washington Fish 
class to Gar; Manhasset knockabouts to Pizy; 
Manhasset Bay one-design to Scylla; Stars to 
Little Dipper; Gravesend dories to Mouse; Bay- 
side one-design to Mary Jane; bugs to Wasp; 
Greenwich dories to Savana and New Rochelle 
one-design to LaRochelle. The Bayside butter¬ 
flies did not flutter fast enough to get in before 
dark, so were not timed. 
The second day of the Larchmont race week 
proved no better windily than the first. The 
big program was, however, completed. Barbara 
won in the New York Y. C. 50 class, and some 
assert she kept the wind in harness with a new 
and unique sail, perhaps a small balloon jib top¬ 
sail—something between a No. 1 and a regular 
balloon. Bob Emmons sailed the Whitney boat 
and brought her across 3m. 56s. ahead of Iro¬ 
quois. Josephine, the home-brewed Hanan Class 
P hummer, once more walked in a winner, 
though only 40s. ahead of the down East boat 
Stranger. Nepsi won the event for the New 
York Y. C. 30’s. In the Sound schooners, Van¬ 
dalia, with her owner W. Butler Duncan at the 
helm, came back into her own and won handily. 
In Class Q Suelew from the lower bay won 
under time. Jack Alley’s Twinkle hooked him 
by more than 3m. With A. B. Fry’s Faraway 
as a washer 8s. thick, Commodore Blaisdell’s 
Gar once more scaled the first event, this time 
gaffing Tarpon by, oh, about 15m. Among the 
Manhasset Bay classes the W. E. Lindemann’s 
Mile. Boss took it away from Bill Sierck’s 
Scylla, while in the old designers Pixy had only 
is. over Arizona. Oriole won the bird class, 
while other winners were Game Cock in the Buz¬ 
zard’s Bay class Lewanee in the Larchmont in¬ 
terclub, Topaz in the Glen Cove Sound, Mary 
Jane in the Bayside one-design. Joy in the spe¬ 
cial class, G. P. Granberry’s Joker in the first 
handicap, Veda in the second handicap, Twinkle
