FOREST AND STREAM 
June 21, 1913 
Looking up suddenly I saw painted in large 
letters on the Speedway wall the sign 
“FINISH.” I laughed outright. Here was 
certainly a good excuse to bring my trip to an 
end. I crossed the line with a spurt, like the 
rowing crews for whose benefit the mark had 
been placed, but I kept on going. A little 
further and I noticed the tide had begun to 
slacken. I had traversed the whole flood tide 
and now was approaching the new ebb. For 
this I was thankful. Still a little further and I 
was leaving all sign of the city behind me. Soon 
I was. skirting meadow land. And now the base 
of high wooded hills. Shady lanes were not far 
off, but it was growing dark. Just a faint glow 
was in the western sky as I passed into the 
Hudson and turned south again. The moon 
was beginning to show through the treetops. 
Far ahead I could see the two red lights on Fort 
Washington .Point. Now I was passing a beau¬ 
tiful part of the island. As I headed for the 
lights I could hardly believe there were such 
things as docks, ferries, bridges, steamers and 
scows. What a variety of shore front this day 
had showed me! But riglrt here was the best; 
this water edge under the high trees nearly as 
nature had left it. In fancy I could see the 
Indians in their canoes stealing silently here and 
there. Their camp-fires might be those on shore 
lighted by the late fishermen. 
Passing the Point the searchlight of the 
steamer “Trojan” played on me for a minute 
and then its wash sent me toward the rocks. But 
nothing could harm me now. Another quarter 
mile and I pulled in at 167th street at 7 o’clock, 
having made the thirty odd miles in nine hours.

New York Y. C. 66IK Annual Regatta. 
The sixty-siNth annual regatta of the New 
York Y. C. will be held on June 26, 1913. 
Entries.—Entries should be filed with the 
committee before 4 p. m., June 25, but entries 
may be received until the “warning signal.” 
Time Limit.—A class race in which one 
yacht has not finished before one-half hour after 
sunset will be declared off. 
Courses.^—The courses are indicated and de¬ 
scribed on the Glen Cove racing chart, and are 
distinguished by numbers and by letters indi¬ 
cating marks. If a different course from those 
described on the chart is selected, the committee 
will signal the course by setting code signals 
designating the marks in the order of rounding. 
Course Signals.—The courses for the fleet 
divisions will be shown before the preparatory 
signal is made by displaying each division letter 
and the course number (or code signals indicat¬ 
ing the course). 
If a course is to be sailed twice around, the 
course number (or code signals) will be set 
above figure 2. 
Division A, Classes.—A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 
H, J, K, L, “fifties” ;M, N, P and New York 
Y. C. “thirties.” 
Division B, Class.—Sound schooners. 
Starting Signals.—Attention will be called 
to each signal by a gun or whistle. A starting 
signal will be the preparatory signal for the 
next class to start. 
12 M.— Warning, one white ball. 
12 :o5 p. M.— Preparatory, blue peter ball. 
12:10 p. M.—Start for Classes A, B, C, D, E 
and F, one red ball. 
12:15 P- M.—Start for Classes G, H, J, K 
and “fifties,” two red balls. 
12:2o p. M.— Start for Classes L, M and N, 
three red balls. 
12:25 P- M.—Start for Classes P and New 
York Y. C. “thirties,” four red balls. 
12:3o p. M.— Start for Sound schooners, five 
red balls. 
All starts will be “one gun starts.” 
Recall Signal.—White ball with red band. 
The committee will hail the yacht, but failure 
to set the ball will not relieve the penalty for 
having crossed the starting line before the proper 
signal. 
Special Signals.—G, race postponed until 
later day, at fifteen minutes intervals; H, race 
postponed for the day; J, race declared off; M, 
race will finish at this mark. 
When at the finish, the committee boat will 
hoist a red ball; and in fog will, “at intervals 
of not more than one minute, ring the bell 
rapidly for above five seconds,” and at intervals 
of two minutes will sound three short whistle 
blasts. 
Prizes.-—There will be a prize for first, if 
two or more start; a prize for second, if four 
or more start; and a prize for third, if eight or 
more start in any class. 
New York Y. C. fifties, thirties and Sound 
schooners will sail as one-design classes under 
their respective class rules. 
The New York Y. C. course cups, offered 
by Commodore James Gordon Bennett, in 1871, 
for yachts enrolled in the club, will be sailed 
for under the deed of 1909, in addition to the 
class prizes offered by the club. A cup for 
schooners and a cup for single-masted vessels 
and yawls. Yachts competing for these cups will 
sail at their rating measurements. 
Extra copies of these sailing directions, or 
charts of the course, may be obtained from the 
regatta committee at the club house.

Dream Wins Bermuda Race. 
Dream, owned by Commodore Chas. E. 
Lagen, of Philadelphia, with a handicap of i6h. 
44m. 36s., won the Philadelphia to Bermuda race 
and finished June ii. Her time for the 734 miles 
was 87!!. 25m. The scratch boat Barbara IL, 
owned by Vice-Commodore W. H. Duncan, of 
the Staten Island Y. C., arrived first, but owing 
to her tremendous handicap, was given second 
place. A return race will be run to the Crescent 
A. C., of Brooklyn, for another prize. This is 
Dream’s second consecutive win in the Bermuda 
race.
