Beverly Y. C. 
Boston, Mass., Aug. 27 .— Editor Forest and 
Stream: 1 send you with this report of our 
races Nos. 477 , 478 and 479 , also report of two 
special races held by the Beverly Y. C. 
It is pleasing to note that the races con¬ 
tinue to be well attended, and that the sport has 
been excellent. The special race on Aug. 3 was 
held off the property recently bought by the 
club on Ruggles Point in order to give the mem¬ 
bers an opportunity to judge of the merits of 
the property as a site for a new club house, and 
to compare the courses starting from Ruggles 
Point, with the courses starting from the present 
club house. The race among the larger boats 
was for a Memorial cup, offered by Mrs. G. 
Griswold Van Rensselaer. In this race all yachts 
competing sailed in the same class, and the cup 
was awarded to the yacht making the best cor¬ 
rected time. The measurement was the water 
line length, except that all yachts in regular 
classes sailed at the upper limit of their respec¬ 
tive classes. Time allowance was computed ac¬ 
cording to the tables formerly used by the 
Beverly Y. C. In our ordinary races we have 
no time allowance, the races being governed by 
the actual time of each yacht. For a number 
of years past Mrs. Van Rensselaer has offered 
a memorial cup, and the races have been sailed 
as in the present case, on time allowance basis, 
all yachts under 30 feet competing in one class. 
The event being different in this particular from 
our ordinary races has always proved an attrac¬ 
tive feature of the season. This year’s race had 
the added advantage of being sailed over the 
new courses, which were almost unanimously ap¬ 
proved by the competing yachtsmen. Since this 
race the club has held an informal meeting to 
consider the advisability of moving the club 
house to the new location at Ruggles Point, and 
has appointed a committee to canvas the club 
and find out fully the views of members in re¬ 
gard to the proposed move. The probability of 
the early completion of the Cape Cod Canal, 
with the resulting increase of traffic in the bay, 
is one of the reasons that has led the club to 
consider the question of moving its headquarters, 
but it is also believed by many members that 
the location at Ruggles Point will be more cen¬ 
tral and afford more open and better courses 
for racing. F. A. Eustis, Sec’y.

Stamford Y. C. 
Stamford. Conn., Sept. 7 . —The annual race 
between the one-design class of the Stamford 
Y. C. and the one-designs of the Seawanhaka- 
Corinthian Y. C. was sailed this afternoon off 
Stamford Harbor in a fresh southerly breeze. 
A Stamford boat finished first, but the Seawan- 
haka fleet won the race on points, 41 to 37. In¬ 
asmuch as the cup, offered by the Stamford Y. 
C., was won by the Seawanhaka Club a year 
ago, that club retains possession of it. The 
summary:

New York Y. C. 
It is generally conceded that W. Butler 
Duncan, Jr., is a chip of the old block. He 
proved beyond conjecture that as a sailor he 
differs from father only in that he is younger. 
On Sept. 5 he sailed his father’s schooner yacht 
Vandalia across the line a winner in the sixty- 
fifth annual regatta of the New York Y. C. 
There were five other entrants, with the usual 
number of high class skippers in charge. Master 
Duncan is only nine years old.
