Sir Thomas Lipton has placed the com¬ 
mand of his new America's cup challenger, 
Shamrock IV., in the hands of W. P. Burton. 
Burton is one of the best known amateurs in 
the yachting world, having sailed in over a thou¬ 
sand races. 
The next big race on the Delaware River 
will be the Delaware River Y. R. A. cruiser 
race to Overfalls light and return, under the 
auspices of the Camden Motor Boat Club. This 
race has been sanctioned by the racing com¬ 
mission of the .'\merican Power Boat Associa¬ 
tion. 
The annual cruise of the Portland Y. C. 
will take place July 10, ii and 12 and will be 
confined entirely to Casco Bay waters. 
Three new cups have just been presented 
to the regatta committee of the Atlantic Y. C. 
—Dr. Atkinson’s cup to the Bird boat that scores 
the greatest number of points during the season, 
Zeb Mayhew’s trophy for the Bird class during 
the annual race week of the club and Commo¬ 
dore Blackton’s cup for the Q class. 
The Larchmont Y. C. went in to commission 
last Saturday. Commodore Smithers has offered 
three cups for club championships. 
J. Stuart Blackton has donated a trophy 
said to be valued at $1,500 for the power boat 
making one mile (5,280 feet) in one minute at 
the second annual Chicago water carnival, which 
begins Aug. 16. 
Owners of the New York Y. C. fifties have 
subscribed $1,000 to be offered as prize money 
for the crews. Twelve races are to be sailed 
during the season with professionals in charge. 
The captain and crew of the yacht scoring the 
most points will receive $500, the second $300 
and the third $200. There are a captain and five 
men on each yacht. 
The 1913 Year Book of the Narragansett 
Ray Yacht Racing Association, now ready for 
distribution by Secretary-Treasurer W. Louis 
Frost, contains a few changes in the rules, none, 
however, affecting materially the racing end. 
The sloop Avenger, launched last week at 
the Herreshoff yard, will race in the new 50-foot 
class of sloops enrolled in the New York Y. C. 
She is of larger dimension than the new fifties, 
and raced for several seasons in the 57-foot 
class, winning many trophies. 
Manhasset Bay Re^aifa. 
An almighty stiff breeze was in evidence to¬ 
day and made ideal racing. The "leading feat¬ 
ure” was the New York Y. C. 50-foot class. 
Ventura, owned by Vice-Commodore George F. 
Baker, of the New York Y. C, won by one 
minute from Henry Payne Whitney's Barbara, 
and im. 15s. ahead of Carolina IT., owned by 
Pembroke Jones. The winner covered the tri¬ 
angular course of 21% miles in 2h. 50m. 20s. 
The first leg of the course was a spinnaker run 
with the booms to port, the .second a reach and 
the third a beat. The sr.inmary:

No corrected times were given in the second 
rating class by the judges, as all the boats were 
not measured. The corrected time of 1:56:21 
for the Manataqua in Class P, which would have 
given her the race in that class, was questioned. 
IManataqua, although racing in Class P, is 
only a 25-rater, and therefore probably is not 
eligible for the Lipton cup championship, and 
in racing against the 31-raters has to assume a 
rating of 25.1. 
Stranger, whose owner lives in Providence, 
was raced to-day by T. W. Goodwin, one of 
the best known of the Narragansett Bay Corin¬ 
thians. 
Philadelphia-Bermuda Race. 
Reedy Island, Del., June 7.—The three 
motor boats that are racing to Bermuda passed 
here this afternoon. Barbara II. passed at 5 :33, 
Toesam II. at 5:59 and Dream at 6:13. Reedy 
Island is forty miles from Philadelphia. Barbara 
11 . has gained one minute on Dream in each mile 
since the start. The course is 734 miles, which 
at the same rate would make Barbara II. finish 
I 2 h. iqm. before Dream, but the latter is al¬ 
lowed more than sixteen hours by the former.
