Early finishes, especially in the motor boat 
division, marked the New Rochelle Y. C.’s an¬ 
nual races for power and sailing yachts from off 
Premium Point to and around Stratford Shoal 
Lighthouse and return, a distance of sixty-five 
miles, on July 6, and to Pearl II. was awarded 
the first prize in the motor boat division. 
Seven power yachts were started at io 
o’clock the previous morning and half an hour 
later the sailing division was sent to the east¬ 
ward.

sailing yachts would finish much before mid¬ 
night, but at half-past seven o’clock Rohilla 
made her appearance off New Rochelle and won 
the special prize offered by W. King, Jr. 
Hyperion, R. N. Bavier, and Amada, B. R.

Racing at Washington Park. 
The members of the Washington Park Y. C. 
turned out in force to witness the regular races 
of that organization. The boats started from 
the club landing and sailed around Greene’s 
Island and back to the land. A strong south¬ 
west wind and a lumpy sea helped furnish ex¬ 
citement. 
Omeme. owned by F. Holt, and Wemader. 
owned by S. W. Gammons, fought it out in the 
Class F. event for catboats, the former winning 
by 30s. Molly, owned by O. Howes, had little 
trouble in landing the Class Q events for knock¬ 
abouts. Eva May was the only starter in the 
power boat event. 
Steward Richard Higgins acted as starter in 
the absence of ’the chairman of the regatta com¬ 
mittee. The summary:

Savin Hill Y. C. 
Four boats furnished good sport for the 
members of the Savin Hill Y. C. on July 6. It 
was planned to conduct the race in two classes, 
but owing to the small number entered, the boats 
were bunched. Jacquinall won prettily. The

From Governor’s Island to Larchmont. 
The Bensonhurst Y. C. has arranged for a 
race to Larchmont. The boats will sail in the 
events of race week. The Yacht Racing Asso¬ 
ciation of Gravesend Bay has officially recog¬ 
nized the Sound series this season and has ar¬ 
ranged no dates for either of the Saturdays of 
Larchmont week. A larger fleet undoubtedly 
will take part in the contest this year. 
The start will be made from Governor’s 
Island on the morning of July 21. The contest 
is especially arranged for the knockabouts, but 
if the Q and the other classes decide to take 
part in the contest, prizes will be offered by the 
Larchmont Y. C. The boats that have entered 
the contest are: W. E. Darling’s Paloma, A. M. 
Chace’s Idler, Mystery and Alice W. All in the 
Q class. 
Bay Side Y. C. 
Two races made up the program of the Bay 
Side Y. C. on July 4. In the bird class Loon, 
owned by A. W. Knapp, won. H. C. Andrews’ 
Dodo was second, W. F. Dayton’s Skylark, third. 
In the one-design class Betty took the one-design 
class event, being cleverly sailed by W. H. Johns, 
her owner, C. Snedeker’s Rowdy was second; 
W. Banks’ Mary Jane third. In the afternoon 
Plover beat the other five birds handily, finishing 
as named: Loon, Skylark, Dodo, Curlew and 
Teaser. In the one-design class Mary Jane beat

Ticks from the Ship’s Clock. 
The Mitt II., owned by J. Harold Hayden, of 
New York, took a successful fall out of the new 
Dixie, Jr., and Bear Cat, owned by Herbert W. 
Copelle, of Englewood, in a race held at Alex¬ 
andria Bay on the St. Lawrence River yesterday 
over the course of the Thousand Island Y. C. 
on July 2. Mitt II. is the holder of the gold 
challenge cup won last August at Frontenac. 
Bill Thompson sure did yeoman’s work on 
his trip abroad in the interest of the Chicago 
yacht carnival. He pulled it over the owners of 
the fastest boats in Europe, so that Lake Michi¬ 
gan will see the greatest bunch of international 
speed boats ever seen on this side of the ocean. 
William H. is a wonder in matters of persuasion.
