Chesapeake Bay Y. R. A. 
The port to port races of the third annual 
cruise and regatta of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht 
Association were ended to-day at Baltimore. The 
winners were: Chenoden, in Class Y; Eleanor, 
in Class Q, and Helen, in Class P. Only sailing 
yachts took part in these races. The power boats 
joined squadron runs from port to port and raced 
in the events given at each port. The sail racing 
was confined to four classes: P for sloops from 
25 to 31 feet; Q for sloops 20 to 25 feet; Y for 
cruising yawls under 60 feet and Z for yawls 
under 26 feet water line. In the latter class Wye 
had no opposition and won by sailing over the 
first course. The port to port races began on 
July 22, the course being from Annapolis to 
Cambridge, a distance of 29^2 nautical miles. 
July 24 the races were from Cambridge to Ox¬ 
ford, a distance of about 10 miles. July 26 the 
races were from Oxford to Annapolis, a distance 
of 31 miles. To-day's races were from Annapolis 
to Baltimore, a distance of 24H miles. In each 
race the winning boat in each class scored one 
point for every boat it beat in that class. When 
these classes of races were finished, the scores 
were: 
Class Y

Yachting in California. 
The fifth annual race from San Francisco 
to Santa Cruz, held under the auspices of the 
Corinthian Y. C., but open to all boats enrolled 
in any recognized yacht club, was held on July 
19 and 20, and proved to be by far the most ex¬ 
citing contest ever sailed over this course. Thir¬ 
teen boats were entered, but when sailing time 
arrived, only nine were on hand to start. In 
former years this race has always started from 
the Fulton Basin, but this year the starting point 
was outside the breakwater, owing to the fact 
that two big dredgers were in the basin filling in 
low ground on the Panama-Pacific International 
Exposition site. 
Special attention was given this year to the 
inspection of yachts before granting permission 
for the race, and one, Folly, entered by the Sau- 
salito Y. C., was denied entry on the ground 
that she was not deemed seaworthy enough to 
make the trip, which sometimes is a rather rough 
one. The United States Government furnished 
a vessel to accompany the fleet, and thus the 
danger of accident was greatly minimized. All 
the yachts were equipped with the necessary in¬ 
struments for navigation. Those having engines 
installed had these sealed three hours before the 
start was made. 
The first boat to appear next morning at 
Santa Cruz Bay was the sloop Nixie, with Capt. 
A. Hirsch, Jr., at the helm, crossing the finish 
line at 8:42 o’clock, making the trip down the 
coast in 12.27.35. Directly behind her came the 
Yankee, Charles Miller’s sloop, and when the 
time corrections were made, it was found that 
the former had won by the scant margin of fif¬ 
teen seconds. The third boat to arrive was 
Marian, which took first prize in the schooner 
class, and which might have finished ahead of 
Nixie, but for the fact that she chose the out¬ 
side course and was becalmed for an hour. 
Thistle, the smallest boat in the race, finished 
fourth and was followed by Fulton G., Sweet¬ 
heart, Speedwell, Lady Ada and Harpoon. Nixie 
not only won the prize for the yacht making the 
best time over the course, but also won the cup 
offered for the sloops over thirty feet. Thistle 
was the winner in the class for yachts under 
thirty feet. 
Another recent event of interest was the 
race for the Hammersmith trophy, held under 
the auspices of the Corinthian Y. C. This event 
was sailed over the regular channel course and 
was the fourth held for the trophy to secure pos¬ 
session of which three wins are necessary. The 
sloop Meteor, with a handicap of 20m., won by 
a margin of 7m. 25s., Yankee being second with 
Kathleen third and Thistle fourth. Both Yankee 
and Meteor now have two wins each to their 
credit. 
Jamaica Bay Y. R. A. 
Beach channel races for small craft were 
held under the auspices of the Yacht Racing As¬ 
sociation of Jamaica Bay last Saturday. The 
contests were for the yachts that were too small 
to take part in the regular ocean regatta of the 
organization. The open catboat class was the 
only sailing division to fill and the first prize was 
won by C. A Merritt’s Siren. Smarty took the 
open power boat class and Anna Grace again 
was the winner among the semi-speed boats. The
