Beverly Y. C. 
The fourth club race of the Beverly Y. C. 
was held in Buzzard’s Bay on June 29. In the 
21-foot class D. L. Whittemore again won with 
Foraminifer three minutes ahead of Terrapin, 
which was about three minutes in front of Sara¬ 
cen. The sonder class was taken by Seacoon, 
owned by J. Lewis Stackpole. Sally VIII. was 
second by only 20s. Joyant was third. 
There were two classes of 15-foot boats, 
seven Herreshoffs and ten Cranes. The Crane 
boats appeared to have more speed as a class 
than their older rivals, six of the Crane design 
finishing the No. 18 course of 5^4 miles to Dry 
Ledge and Abiels Ledge and return in better 
time than the leader of the Herreshoff class. 
Vim led the Herreshoff class, being 2m. in 
front of Pronto, owned by M ; ss Esther Hosmer. 
The first two boats in the Crane 15-foot class 
finished near together, the Niobe having 42 sec¬ 
onds on Pioneer. The summary:
