Sidney Herreshoff, the eldest son of designer 
Nathaniel G. Herreshoff, has produced a new 
type of speed launch and gasolene engine which 
attracts attention in Narragansett Bay because 
of the steady going of the craft, no matter how 
rough the water. The boat is 20 feet in length, 
named Bubble, and has a speed of twenty miles 
an hour. 
The reversion to the old custom of running 
a steamboat in order that members and guests 
may follow the races, worked out admirably last 
Saturday at the Indian Harbor regatta. The 
steamer was crowded comfortably and but for 
the fog would have been a most enjoyable inno¬ 
vation. 
The Newport Y. R. A. has offered a cup 
for a race between the 65-footers Aurora, Ista- 
lena and Winsome. This race will be sailed 
after the close of the New York Y. C. cruise. 
The longest yacht race of the year, from 
Los Angeles, Cal., to Honolulu, Hawaii, was won 
by Lurline, owned by Captain Harris, of the 
San Diego Y. C. The distance was 2,013 miles 
and the sailing course about 2,600 miles. Lur- 
line’s time, unofficially, was 13 days 23 hours 
and 16 minutes, finishing on June 30.

Indian Harbor Y. C. 
With fifty-two starters, headed by the three 
65-foot sloops in Class K, the twenty-fourth 
annual regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. C. was 
sailed off Greenwich, on Long Island Sound, last 
Saturday. The weather man was various in his 
service, his first offering being a brisk, lower¬ 
ing east by north wind, which had kicked up 
a generous bit of sea by the time the start was 
made at 1 p. m. About 3 o’clock the wind faded 
into a zephyr vaporizing and shifting to the 
southeast, where it stayed to the finish. During 
most of the races the boats were fog-enshrouded. 
The big sloops over-jockeyed at the start. Win¬ 
some forcing Istalena over the line ahead of 
the signal, and following across both were re¬ 
called, thus giving Aurora a considerable lead 
which was cut down after the first leg by Ista¬ 
lena, which finished with im. 15s. to spare. The 
New York Y. C. “30” class was next away and 
furnished the prettiest race of the day. J. P. 
Morgan, Jr.’s, Phrvne crossed first, followed 
closely by J. H. Mahlstadt’s Okee and the Alker 
brothers' Alera. Okee ran along in the bunch 
on the first leg, then took the lead which she 
held to the finish, crossing im. ns. ahead of 
Rowdy, Caprice and Phryne finished in the 
order named only 19s. apart. Other winners 
were: Corinthian, sloops, Class P; Helen II., 
Long Island Sound schooners; More Joy, sloops, 
Class Q; Sally IX.. handicap class, first divis¬ 
ion; Amanda, second division; Rascal III., third
