Squantum Y. C. 
The Squantum Y. C. held its annual open 
regatta last Saturday at Quincy. The class win¬ 
ners were: Class A, Nutmeg, A. C. Jones; Class 
B, Lethe, Hollis Burgess; Class C, Eleanor, W. 
L. Jefferson; Class D, Dartwell, I. M. Whitte- 
more; Class H, Dorsyl, S. L. Gooin; Class I, 
Scaler, E. W. Murphy; Class S, Maritza II., C. 
H. Porter; Class X, Barbara, J. J. Blaney; cabin 
power boats, C. U. Later; open power boats, 
Pegasus. 
Nutmeg, last year’s champion and a con¬ 
sistent winner this season, had a sensational 
finish in Class A with Frizzell & Swenson’s Che- 
wink, Nutmeg barely nosing out a winner, cut¬ 
ting off Chewink by 10s. 
Hollis Burgess and his Lethe found things 
to about suit them, the little Buzzard’s Bay 21- 
footer feeling right at home in Buzzard’s Bay 
weather. This makes the third race won by 
Lethe in three days and puts her in the running 
for the class championships despite her late en¬ 
try this season. 
Barracoota, ‘owned by G. W. Glover, did 
better than before this year and showed' her 
form of last season when she cleaned up the 
class. 
But for real excitement, Class I, 18-foot 
knockabouts, gave the sport of the day, ten of 
the little fellows knocking around the course 
under full sail, half the time showing their fins 
way down to the lead. All the boats finished in 
hair-raising fashion within a space of ten 
minutes. 
Louise, owned by A. E. Whittemore, was 
disqualified by the judges as she was coming in 
fourth boat for fouling the mark, her boom tip 
just hitting the flag. Seconds only separated 
Dorchen, Louise, Cheroot, Aurora and Bonitwo, 
the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boats. 
Sealer, owned by E. W. Murphy, came into her 
own at last, winning the race in weather and 
sea. for which she was built. 
The Cape cats had good sport, but Commo¬ 
dore I. M. Whittemore, of the Quincy Y. C., 
merely repeated his customary stunt of win¬ 
ning, the big sailboats being reefed down as no 
mortal could hold them down in the wind with 
full sail. 
The double-finned Maritya repeated her stunt 
at Hingham by tilting in on her side, a winner 
in Class S, G. W. Sergent’s Wamenock being de¬ 
feated on time allowance. 
The little dories had their athletic crews 
with them, serving as the best kind of movable 
ballast increasing the leverage of their 'weight 
by hanging far out over the weather rail. J. J. 
Blaney’s Barbara proved her sour weather quali¬ 
ties by coming in nearly three minutes ahead of 
the second boat, J. S. Hodge’s Bessie A. III.

Atlantic Y. C. 
Edith II. won the majority of prizes in the 
first two regattas in the motor boat champion¬ 
ship of Gravesend Bay last Saturday. She won 
both the morning and the afternon races for dis¬ 
placement boats, captured the hydroplane contest 
in the afternoon, and finished second to Vita in 
the race for hydroplanes. The races were held 
off Sea Gate, under the auspices of the Atlantic 
Y. C., and brought out a large number of yachts. 
During the afternoon race for displacement 
boats, Mrs. Paula H. Blacton’s Vita skidded and 
rammed Ethel May. Vita was badly damaged 
and had to be towed ashore. 
Dr. Henry Z. Pratt's Tiny Tad, while in the 
morning race had trouble with her steering gear, 
in the afternoon’s contest after starting thirty 
seconds late, she picked up Edith II. and Vita, 
Jr., and was leading at the end of the first round. 
At the end of the second round she stopped, but 
started again and led to the end of the third 
round. The race then was between Tiny Tad 
and Edith II., as Vita, Jr., had given up the 
contest. Nearing the Fort Hamilton mark, Tiny 
Tad again stopped, and was passed by Edith I. 
She never started again and had to be towed 
to her mooring. The summary:

Arcanum Y. C. 
A decidedly unique race was held on July 4 
by the Arcanum Y. C. on Gravesend Bay. The 
“bang and go back race” was its official classifi¬ 
cation, and the conditions advised that upon a 
signal from the committee all boats must stop 
and return to the finish line over the same 
course. Rear Commodore McCaully’s Carlotta 
II. won. Commodore Graff’s Adelaide was sec¬ 
ond and Alva was third. 
Tappan Zee Y. C. 
The regatta of the Tappan Zee Y. C. was 
run off on July 4 and was interesting and well 
attended. Respite, owned by V. C. Peterson, 
won the ten-mile event for cabin cruisers in 58m. 
23s. Spindrift, owned by C. R. Butler, was 
second. Grace, owned by C. R. W. Smith, won 
in the fluke class. Bantam beat Louise in a five- 
mile sail race. In the one-design class No. 16, 
of the Yonkers Y. C., won in ih. 20m. 7s. No. 
4, of the Ridge Y. C., Hastings, was second. 
Edjacko II. a Winner. 
Gloucester, Mass., July 6. —Although Onda, 
in the first class, held the lead from start to 
finish, Edjacko II. was at her heels, and with 
her allowance, won. 
In the second class Osprey and Elizabeth 
fought it out all the way, but the first named 
won on actual time and did not need her allow¬ 
ance to get into first place. Weasel, as has been 
the case from the beginning of the season, had 
things her own way and won in a romp. 
Sumarki, sailed by W. R. Harcourt, and 
Armorel, sailed by Paul Wick, a Youngstown, O., 
boy, sailed one of the closest races, the allow¬ 
ance to Armorel bringing the time of each out 
alike, although pursuing the decimal further 
Sumarki wins by a shade. 
Tid and the new boat Jane locked horns and 
in the breeze which freshened toward the close, 
it was evident that the older boat had a trifle 
the best of it with rail awash and a rough sea. 
he course, as in all but the 15-footers, was a 
beat to the outer western mark, then a reach to 
the mark off the whistler, a broad reach to the 
breakwater and a spinnaker run from that point 
home. Meave _ scored her first win, the heavy 
weather condition showing her to advantage
