Weekly Yacht Review. 
The New York Y. C. cruise has ended and 
left a decidedly pleasant feeling among the par¬ 
ticipants. 
J. P. Morgan, Jr., came in for a considerable 
share of the victory, winning the commodore’s 
cup and a first division cup on two occasions, 
and showing in general excellent speed under 
the able handling of Vice-Commodore Morgan. 
Barbara, sailed by Captain Robert W. Em¬ 
mons, 2d, won the Navy challenge cup among 
the fifties. In the same class Iroquois, owned 
and sailed by R. N. Ellis, won the prize offered 
by Captain S. Reed Anthony. 
In the other classes Windward made a good 
showing. Miladi was rather badly treated by 
Venona, while in schooner class D, Muriel had 
a little the best of it. Irolita was found with a 
majority of winnings in her class, among other 
things winning the Navy challenge cup for 
schooners. 
Other interesting events were the annual 
regatta of the Huguenot Y. C. at New Rochelle, 
the winners being Corinthian, Alert, Mignon, 
Circe, Avis, Huron, Hamburg, Dipper, Scylla, 
Loon, Sapphire, Star Faraway, Duchess and 
Tautog. 
In the trials of the sonder class at Marble¬ 
head the first three elimination races resulted 
in Ellen, owned by C. P. Curtis, Jr., winning 
three in the first division. Sprig, owned by John 
L. Saltonstall, won two in the second division, 
and Harpoon, owned by Charles F. Adams, 2d, 
won the third division race. 
The Corinthians on Great South Bay held 
an interesting regatta during the cruise of the 
South Bay Yacht Racing Association in which 
the winners were Alva, Constance, Wiffen Poof, 
Sylph, Adelaide III., Miladi, Curlew II. and 
White Hope. 
At Gravesend Bay the ninth championship 
regatta of the association resulted in winnings 
by Spider, Skylark, Joy, M. & F. in the second 
division and M. & F. II., the Camp boat, in Class 
S, and Oriole. 
At the Beverly Y. C. the winners were Skate, 
Peg, Water Witch and Yalu, which incidentally 
was very cleverly sailed by Miss Margaret Cod- 
man. 
The Duxbury regatta resulted in winnings 
by Again and Virginia. 
At the Quincy Y. C., winners were Lomaru, 
Gleamer. Yarita and Soukey II. 
At Winthrop, with a big entry list, the suc¬ 
cessful boats were Vixen, Glide, Dartwell, Imp, 
Moslem, Lindsay, Maritza II., Lethe, Nutmeg, 
Ko Ko, Italia, Gertrude, Riner and Stuart. 
At Narragansett Bay the race week just 
ended was tremendously successful. Weather 
conditions were satisfactory. 
At Bayside Y. C. the annual garden party 
was held, in which the principal feature was an 
exhibition flight by R. H. McCurdy in his Cur¬ 
tiss aero-hydroplane. Mr. Curdy has been in 
camp on Manhasset Bay for some weeks with 
this boat, but this is his first visit to Bayside. 
The butterflies had their closest race of the 
season, the winner being Alberta, owned and 
sailed by A. M. Stewart, which won by 21s. 
over Flutterby, which in turn was 2s. ahead of 
Benessa. 
An interesting note in yachting is the fact 
that when Morton F. Plant's schooner Elena re¬ 
tired for the season, owing to the death of Mrs. 
Plant, the boat had not lost a single race during 
the season. 
Commodore William H. Childs is having 
plans drawn for a boat to replace Jovant, which 
was rather badly outclassed this year by Hanan’s 
homemade Josephine. 
It is said that three syndicates have been 
formed to build contenders for cup defense next 
year. These syndicates are headed by Cornelius 
Vanderbilt. George M. Pynchon and A. S. 
Cochran. It is also said that Addison G. Hanan 
will build an aspirant for cup defense. 
Race week at the Atlantic Y. C. is under 
way with a very large entry list. The regatta 
committee is Carlos de Zafra and Frank P. 
Currier. On the entertainment committee are 
Francis Weismann and Wallace Van Nostrand. 
Target, All Season Winner, Takes Keep 
Trophy. 
BY OUR STAFF CORRESPONDENT. 
The rejuvenated machine sloop Target, al¬ 
most beaten to pieces by a squall on Lake Pont- 
chartrain. New Orleans, in the first days of the 
season, then rebuilt, and never defeated in all 
the summer’s sailing, upheld her title of cham¬ 
pion of the South, Saturday, Aug. 2, by taking 
the Keep trophy in a twelve-mile race at West 
End. Massachusetts, former international cham¬ 
pion, and Seawanhaka, champion of the Great 
Lakes, were the other contenders. 
The cup, which is offered by Captain Eddie 
Keep, owner and sailor of Target, will remain 
in his possession another year. This is the third 
or fourth cup Target has annexed this season. 
The wind was light at first, but rapidly 
freshened to a fifteen knot breeze, and the boats 
were started on the westward run. Seawanhaka 
(Benjamin F. McGinnis) was first across, fol¬ 
lowed almost immediately by Massachusetts 
(Heaslip Syndicate). At the first stake of the 
triangular four-mile course, which was circled 
three times, Massachusetts led, with Seawanhaka 
and Target following in the order named. Tar¬ 
get headed the other boats at the second stake 
and rounded the home mark 5m. ahead of Sea¬ 
wanhaka, which was nearly a minute ahead of 
Massachusetts. Starting at 2 130, they made the 
first leg as follows: 
'Parget . 3 32 52 Massachusetts . 3 38 09 
Seawanhaka . 3 37 1 i 
During the remainder of the race the Keep 
boat held her lead, and the contest settled down 
to a fight between the other two for second 
place. At the finish of the second round, Target 
had increased her lead over Seawanhaka to 8m., 
while the latter, second, was just 12s. ahead of 
Massachusetts. Times at the end of the second 
leg: 
Target . 4 11 55 Massachusetts -4 19 23 
Seawanhaka . 4 19 11 
In the third and last round, Massachusetts 
passed Seawanhaka, but lost second place be¬ 
cause of time allowance to Seawanhaka. Fol¬ 
lowing is the order of the finish, elapsed and 
corrected time: 
Elapsed. Corrected. 
Target .. 2 19 09 2 18 32 
Seawanhaka . 2 27 51 2 26 32 
Massachusetts . 2 27 18 2 27 18 
With the exception of the final August re¬ 
gatta of the Southern Y. C., also to be held at 
West End, this is the last important race of the 
season at New Orleans. The big regatta at the 
end of this month will include both power and 
sail boat races, and will attract contestants from 
all over the South in both classes.
