Forest and Stream will give a weekly digest of Yachting and Motor Boating events from all over the country. 
Larchmont Race Week. 
The 1913 race week at Larchmont proved to 
be rhe yachting classic of the present season as 
well as to have been the biggest event of the 
kind ever held at that delightful yacht club on 
Long Island Sound. 
The usual ladies’ days were celebrated to 
the largest gatherings so far known in this or¬ 
ganization. The yachtsmen were afforded winds 
of every kind, from the gentlest zephyr to the 
most vicious onslaughts old Boreas was capable 
of. 
One of the delightful features of the pro¬ 
gram was the ladies’ race with the Bayside but¬ 
terflies for the cup offered by Mrs. Charles 
Smithers, wife of Commodore Smithers. This 
was won by Vanessa, sailed by Mrs. N. H. 
MacGregor, with a difference of only 4s. be¬ 
tween the winner and Flutterby, sailed by Mrs. 
J. P. Paret. 
In the Class B schooner event, Elena not 
only won every race of the week, but took also 
the Larchmont championship cup and the Rich¬ 
ards prize and Smithers cup. 
The New York Y. C. 50s divided honors 
fairly evenly, Barbara winning two events; 
Grayling, Iroquois, Carolina and Acushla each 
winning one race. 
A. G. Hanan’s own design Josephine 
treated the old stand-by Joyant rather badly, 
beating her four out of six races. 
Among the Stamford schooners, Whileaway 
won two, Hopewell one. 
Nepsi won five out of six in the New York 
Y. C. 30 class, giving Rowdy one. 
W. Butler Duncan sailed Vandalia so ex¬ 
pertly as to win five out of six schoonerette 
events, allowing Algol one race. 
In Class Q, J. Stewart Blackton’s Virginia 
was a great disappointment, getting only one out 
of six races, two going to Suelew, three to 
Arvia. Game Cock took 50 per cent, of the 
Buzzard's Bay class, the other three races going 
to Mashnee, Evelyn and Dutchess. 
The first division handicap was divided 
equally between Joker, Amanda and Alert, each 
taking two. 
In the second division Alerion won three, 
Veda two, Mist one. 
In the third division, Twinkle was by far 
the best entry, getting four races while Amanita 
took two, Circe one. 
In the fourth division Mignon won four, 
Nadi one. 
In the Larchmont interclub, Lewanna won 
four, Wild Thyme getting two. 
Among the Glen Cove jewels, Topaz and 
Jade each won two. Amethyst one. 
In the Bayside bird class Oreole took two. 
Loon, Curlew and Dodo each getting away with 
one race. 
In the Manhasset Bay ane-design, Scylla and 
Mile. Boss each won two, while Mahosa took one. 
The clever little fish class from Port Wash¬ 
ington Y. C. was pretty easy for Commodore 
Blaisdell’s Gar, which took four out of the five 
races, allowing Dr. Lewis’ Dolphin to get away 
with one through the doctor’s clever seamanship. 
In the special class Mblem won two, Verge, 
Wasp, Joy and Egret each won one. 
The star class was pretty well divided, Far¬ 
away getting two, Twinkle, Cynosure and Little 
Dipper each getting one. Little Dipper did not 
win after George Corey left her to go to Put¬ 
in-Bay where he won ten points for America. 
Among the Gravesend dories Mouse took 
two, Slow Poke and Skylark each getting one. 
In the New Rochelle class, Major Waldorf’s 
La Rochelle was no competitor for Virginia. 
The latter got four out of five races. 
Among the butterflies, Vanessa won two, 
Alberta one. 
Dart won all three events in the Stamford 
one-design class, while Pixey won four out of 
five starts in the Manhasset Bay raceabout class. 
Avis got one race. 
During the week there were a number of 
capsizes, collisions and blowing away of rigging, 
but not a serious accident to a participant was 
recorded. 
A damper was put on the week through the 
death of the mother of George F. Baker, Jr., 
who of course withdrew Ventura, which will 
probably not sail again this season. 
Eastern Y. C. 
Marblehead, Mass., July 26. — To-day’s 
special open regatta of the Eastern Y. C. pro¬ 
duced as fine racing as has been seen off here 
for a long time. Almost a smooth sea, slightly 
ruffled by a fine wholesail southwest breeze 
made conditions practically ideal. 
This brought close and exciting contests in 
all the six classes, the winners being as follows: 
Class P, Italia; sonder class, Harpoon; Boston 
Y. C., second rating class, Acacia; Bar Harbor 
31-foot class, Cricket; Marblehead 17-foot class, 
Moslem III.; Manchester Y. C. 17-foot class, 
Asteria; Corinthian Y. C. 15-foot class, We 
Three. The new Fenton designed sloop Sara¬ 
cen, owned by Commodore Austin Perry, of the 
Gloucester Y. C., had a sail over in Class N. 
In all the classes except N the races counted 
for the North Shore championship and in addi¬ 
tion for the Lipton cup in Class P. 
The racing in the sonder class was of added 
interest this afternoon as four of the competing 
yachts will take part in the Quincy cup match, 
which begins next Monday. Only the defender, 
Charles P. Curtis, Jr.’s, Ellen was missing. The 
challengers, Harpoon, of the Quincy Y. C.; 
Tern, of the Eastern Y. C.; Chance, of the 
Manchester Y. C., all showed up well, finishing 
at the head of the class in the above order, ex¬ 
cept that Sprig slipped in between Harpoon and 
Tern. 
Beverly Y. C. 
Marion, July 26.—The club race to-day of 
the Beverly Y. C., over the Butler's Point new 
club house course, was in a good westerly breeze. 
The sonder class and 21-footers ventured to 
hoist all sail, but the Crane and Herreshoff 15- 
foot classes reefed, some of them double reefing. 
This sort of a breeze sufficed to make lively 
racing and an altering of standing in the pen¬ 
nant contests. The sonder class and the 21- 
footers went down Angelica Point and across 
to Abiels Ledge and return, about ten knots, and 
J. Lewis Stackpole’s new Kacoona defeated his 
last previous racer, Commodore W. E. C. Eustis’ 
Skate, that was built by him last year. 
Kacoona now has five wins in that class 
against only one win apiece for Saracen, Kim 
and Skate. Mr. Hellier’s Kim was in third 
place to-day, with Robert Winsor’s Saracen 
fourth. 
In the sonder class F. A. Goodwin’s Sea- 
coon was around ahead of Galen L. Stone’s Peg 
again to-day. Robert Herrick, Jr., was in third 
place while Helen and Howard Stockton, Jr., 
was last in. 
In the Crane one-design 15-foot class Walter 
S. Crane, Jr., was first around course No. 18, 
going seven and one-half knots to Bow Bells, 
to Abiels Ledge to the finish line. The Herre¬ 
shoff class also went over this course. Miss 
Nannie Lionberger was in second place and F 
B. Austin’s Pioneer was third. Miss Isabel 
Coolidge was unfortunate in getting into place 
and her Water Witch was fourth. 
In the Herreshoff class, one-design, 19- 
footer race there were ten entries, and a jolly 
race. Miss Eunice Taylor, who took the pen¬ 
nant honors last season with Vim, got around 
first to-day and satisfied her admirers that there 
is nothing the matter with the little Flyaway 
craft this summer. 
Miss Frances Webster, who has been mak¬ 
ing a record that approached being brilliant of 
late in this class with her boat. Awahnee, got 
into second place, im. is. behind Miss Taylor’s 
craft. Miss Esther Fiske’s Endeavor was third. 
Ticks From the Ship’s Clock. 
Owing to the lack of interest in the race 
for the international motor boat race for the 
Harmsworth trophy, won last year by Maple 
Leaf IV., a postponement has been asked by the 
Motor Boat Club of America and granted by the 
Royal Motor Y. C. of England. It seems that 
the only boat that could make a showing pre¬ 
fers to stay home and clean up in American 
waters. 
Gloucester Y. C. 
Gloucester, Mass., July 26. —To-day’s win¬ 
ners were: Class I., Nereid: Class II., Lida; 
Class IV., Sumaki; 18-footers, Winsome; 15- 
footers, Meave.
