April 19, 1913 
Yacht ng in San Francisco Bay. 
Frank Garden and Harry Cory, of the San 
Francisco Y. C., have offered a cup to be sailed 
for by the yachtsmen of that club under different 
conditions than usually rule. The race will be 
over a three-mile triangular course, and will 
have its commencement at the club house. The 
contestants will line up at the boat float, launch 
their small boats, row to the yachts anchored 
in the stream, cast off the moorings, hoist sail 
and beat to windward for a mile. After turn¬ 
ing a mark, a spinnaker must be set and a run 
of another mile made, the race to conclude with 
a reach to the anchorage where the moorings 
must be picked up, the canvas stowed away, 
and the trip made back to the float in the small 
boat. 
The sloop Discovery, one of the fastest 
yachts on the bay, for years owned by Captain 
MacFarlane of the Corinthian Y. C., has been 
purchased by R. C. Pell, commodore of the San 
Francisco Y. C., who has disposed of the Vixen 
to Jack Lowe, of the same club. James Lana- 
gan, ex-commodore of the San Francisco Y. C., 
has purchased the sloop Emma from G. Dorn, 
of the Corinthian Y. C., and the latter will sail 
the Fulton G. this year. The Merry Widow is 
now owned by Frank Parker and is being pre¬ 
pared for the opening of the season by having a 
new centerboard put in and her fin keel cut down 
a foot. She will be sailed under the colors of

The annual Ramapo River cruise will be 
held Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4, from 
Suffern, N. Y., to Mountain View, N. J. 
The advance in date is on account of the 
early spring and the probaliility of low water 
at the original time set. 
This cruise covers the most interesting part 
of the stream and many exciting rapids, rifts 
and dams will be run. 
About fifty members made this trip last year, 
and in view of the complete success and great 
enthusiasm shown, the committee expects one 
hundred or more and can assure every one of 
a most enjoyable and exhilarating cruise. If. 
undecided about going, speak to some one of 
those who shot the rapids and ran the rifts last 
year, and their enthusiasm will surely induce 
you to pack up your outfit and attend.
