338 FOREST AND STREAM Sept. 13, 1913. 
Forest and Stream will give a weekly digest of Yachting and Motor Boating events from all over the country. 
Weekly Yacht Review. 
The yachting season in so far as regattas 
•are concerned is practically at an end. The Mar¬ 
blehead races for the President Wilson cup have 
resulted thus far in the entire elimination of the 
German sonders. Up to the present time, Cima 
and Ellen tied with two wins each. Sprig al¬ 
ready has cashed in her chips. The entire series 
was more or less unconvincing, because of the 
light wind during the week. 
An interesting feature of the week was the 
announcement that Stranger has been entered by 
the Rhode Island Y. C. to sail in the Marble- 
the Rhode Island Y. C. to sail in the Manhasset 
cup races for the cup now held by Michicago. 
At Bayside, the weekly regatta resulted in 
John Dayton’s Skylark, winning in the bird class, 
Edna being the only one to finish in the one- 
design class with Ariadna winning by 22s. in the 
butterfly class. 
In a deciding match at Oyster Bay, the 
Seawanhaka-Cormthian Y. C. took permanent 
ownership of the Interclub cup by winning the 
third of a series of races with the Stamford 
Y. C., the final score being 50 points to 27. 
The annual fall regatta of the Crescent 
Athletic Clnb was eminently successful, the win¬ 
ners being Spider in Class Q, which beat Vir¬ 
ginia by somewhat over im.; Joy in the handi¬ 
cap class, first division; Careless in the handicap 
class, second division ; Cyric in the sloop S class; 
Woof in the Gravesend bird class, and Pokealong 
in the knockabout division. 
On the 28th, J. P. Morgan’s Grayling out¬ 
sailed a fleet of seven New York Y. C. fifties 
and won by im. 15s. from Barbara. 
At the Beverly Y. C. an unusual incident 
was a dead heat, this being between Mispah and 
Saracen. The winner in the event, however, 
w'as Kacoona, finishing 57s. before the dead 
heaters. Waterwitch won the Crane 15-footer 
event, while among the Herreshoff 15-footers 
Peacock, sailed by Frederick Winsor, beat 
Awahnee, handled by Miss Frances Webster, 
by 21 s. 
At Annisqnam Y. C. only two events were 
sailed, the one-design catboat class being won 
by Meow TI. The 15-footers was won by the 
irrepressible Tabasco, Jr. 
At Duxburv the winners were Again in 
the 18-foot class, Merlin in the 15-foot class, 
Midget in the catboat class. 
At Gloucester the annual September regatta 
resulted in winnings by Leelane in the Bar 
Harbor class, Urchin in the first handicap, 
Sumaki in the second handicap class, Arrow 
among the 18-footers, Meave among the 15- 
footers. 
Southern Yacht Club Closes Season 
BY HARRY H. DUNN, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. 
The Southern Y. C., at New Orleans, closed 
the most successful season of its sixty-four 
year life at West End, Lake Pontchartrain, 
Saturday, Aug. 30, with a combination regatta. 
The feature of the day was the machine 
sloop race, which Target, the all-season winner, 
with Eddie Keep at the wheel, captured, as was 
expected. Massachusetts, international champion, 
got second place. Kathryn I. and Seawanhaka 
also ran. In the yawl class, Alga beat Thistle, 
and in the cabin sloop contest, Agnes ran first 
with Thistle second. Sinner won from Juanita 
II. and Rascal III. in the knockabout class. 
In the open sloops, Schemer beat Pippin in 
a closely contested race. Sheer seamanship won 
this battle on the water, but in the catboats 
Seminole had a walkover, as Demon and Wasp 
withdrew. The dories, supposed to wind up the 
day in a burst of speed, showed only three en¬ 
tries, finishing with St. John far in the lead, 
Sprite second and Squab last. 
In the motor boats, which furnished three 
classes and were started first. Waif won from 
Violet and Vision in the cabin cruiser class; 
Sterling beat Vim in the small speed boats and 
Kitsey ran away from Casey Jones in the large 
speed boats. 
Yachts Change Hands. 
The Hollis Burgess yacht agency has sold 
the cruising auxiliary yawl Samoset, owned by 
F. P. Speare, of Boston, to Carleton M. Woods, 
of Brookline, Mass., and the 21-foot raceabout 
Dorsyl, owned by S. L. Gookin, of South Boston, 
to L. Gordon Hamersley, of New York, who 
will use her in Bar Harbor, Maine. The same 
agency has chartered the 80-foot motor boat 
Avocet, owned by William P. Wharton, of 
Groton, Mass., to Vice-Commodore Roger Up¬ 
ton, of the Boston Y. C.; the auxiliary sloop 
Hope, owned by Henry G. Patten, of Boston, to 
Charles E. Hellier, of Boston; the 50-foot motor 
boat Totem, owned by Fremont Kimball, of 
Wakefield, Mass., to a New York yachtsman, 
and the schooner yacht Fame, owned by G. 
Walter Vialle, of Concord, Mass., to C. R. Joy, 
of Boston. 
The following sales and charters are re¬ 
ported through the office of Stanley M. Seaman, 
New York city: 
The 77-foot twin screw gasolene cruiser 
Lodona has been sold for E. J. Greacen, of the 
New York Y. C., to Dr. Archibald G. Thomson, 
of Philadelphia. Lodona represents the ideal 
American cruiser and was built by the Mathis 
Yacht Building Company, Camden, N. T. in 1911 
at a cost of almost $25 000. She has cruised suc¬ 
cessfully along the Atlantic coast as far south 
as Florida, proving admirable for that locality. 
The yacht left Larchmont this morning for Nar- 
ragansett Pier, R. I., where Dr. Thomson is 
spending the summer, and will proceed south in 
the early fall. 
The 55-foot auxiliary yawl Dione has been 
sold for Frank F. Streeter to Edmund Q. Trow¬ 
bridge, of Leetes Island, Conn. 
The 51-foot yawl Imperia II. has been char¬ 
tered for the season by C. T. Pierce, of River¬ 
side, Conn., to Dr. James C. Greenway, of 
Greenwich. Conn., who will use her for cruising 
on Long Island Sound. 
The New York Y. C. 30-footer Miriam, 
sold for Sidney F. Ward to Commodore Wilson
