Some News and a Little Gossip. 
Elena has now sailed two races against Iro- 
li'a. She won the first, which was at Larch¬ 
mont, with plenty to spare, but Iro ita was handi¬ 
capped, through having trouble with her center- 
board, and did not show at her best. She did, 
however, make gain while turning to windward. 
In the second race, that of the New York Y. C., 
Elena won by 11 seconds, and had the course 
been a little longer, Irolita would have won. 
The last leg was windward work and Irolita 
was creeping up every inch of the way and 
sailed very fast. It was estimated roughly that 
in the few miles across the Sound she gained 
about three minutes, which is a very creditab e 
performance. It was argued that Elena is stiil 
a new boat, and that she is not in trim, and as 
yet an unknown quantity. That is true, but the 
same argument can be applied to Irolita. She is 
new to Commodore Clark, and since she was 
last in commission, many changes have been 
made in her trim and sail spread, so that she 
is in many respects a new boat. Then she made 
a poor start and was 59 seconds astern of Elena 
at the line. Westward, according to her per¬ 
formances in light weather in England, shou'd 
have been at her best on the Sound, and some 
said she would have won. E'ena will do better, 
and it will be very interesting to see how she 
will behave when the wind is fresh. She is a 
very handsome boat and should do well in a 
strong breeze. 
Westward will not be out until the cruise of 
the New York Y. C. in August. Mr. Cochran 
will visit Bristol this month to inspect his yacht, 
and in the mean ime he is sparing no expense 
to put the yacht in the best possible condition. 
She wiil have new head sails and new running 
gear. 
Robert E. Tod’s big three-masted schooner 
Karima went in commission last Saturday and 
is now making her headquarters off the Atlantic 
Y. C. at Sea Gate. She attracted much atten¬ 
tion when she drooped anchor there last Satur¬ 
day afternoon. She is a very handsome model, 
big and able, and her three spars tower well 
into the air. She will make a picture when 
under full sail. Mr. Tod had the yacht under 
sail that morning outside Sandy Hook and was 
well p eased with her performance. He will get 
the yacht in racing trim and be ready for the 
racing during the cruise of the New York Y. C. 
and afterward for special races and the Cape 
May and Brenton’s Reef cups. In those races 
she will sail against Wilson Marshall’s Atlantic. 
John F. Lovejoy, the well-known amateur, is to 
have charge of the Atlantic in those races. 
W. A. Barstow’s Q yacht Soya is very much 
improved this year. Her cen’erboard has been 
removed and the trunk filled with about 1,000 
pounds of "lead. This extra ballast steadies in 
a seaway. Formerly when in any rough water 
she would stop, but now she foots very steadily, 
and in two successive races she has beaten Sue- 
lew and Alice, the new boats. 
The owners of the Eastern 31-raters, Amoret, 
Sayonara, Italia and Timandra have dec ined the 
offer of the Manhasset Bay Y. C. for a race 
from Marblehead to Manhasset Bay. These four 
yachts are coming to the Sound to race for the 
Manhasset challenge cup, and their owners do 
not care to risk an accident while racing around 
the Cape, and prefer to come around leisurely 
and be in good shape for the contests here which 
will begin off the American Y. C. on July 10. 
The New York Y. C. has rearranged its rac¬ 
ing schedule. The three days’ racing announced 
off Huntington on July 6, 7 and 8 have been 
given up. Several of the yachts in the club are 
entered for the ocean race and cruise of the 
Eastern Y. C, and the New York club com¬ 
mittee thought it better to postpone the racing 
off Huntington until Sept. 6, 7 and 8. There 
will be a regatta off Glen Cove on July 8 for 
such yachts as are in these waters and the races 
for the autumn cups scheduled for September 
are declared off. 
Three long distance races wiil be started to¬ 
day. The Eastern Y. C.. will start its fleet from 
New London to race to Marblehead, and in this 
race Elena, Enchantress, Irolita, Emerald and 
severa 1 other fine yachts will race. The Sea¬ 
wanhaka Corinthian Y. C. will start a race for 
yachts of the Harvard and Yale yacht clubs 
from New London to Oyster Bay. The New 
Rochelle Y. C. will start the races for the 
Brooklyn challenge cup over a course that takes 
them very near’y around Long Island. 
Larchmont Y. C. 
The inter-club class sailed a race off the 
Larchmont Y. C. house last Saturday in a light 
easterly wind. The course was triangular, 6 
miles, and the race was won by Salas, owned by 
M. B. Pendas and sailed by W. W. Swan. The

New York Y. C. 
The spring regatta of the New York Y. C. 
was sailed on the Sound on Thursday, June 22. 
It was a light day, but the wind held fairly true 
and gave the yachtsmen an excellent day’s sport. 
Elena won from Irolita by 11 seconds corrected 
time. 
Actual y Elena finished 2m. 59s. ahead of the 
older boat, but because she rated 4.5 feet more 
than Irolita, she has to allow over the course 
sailed, 28*4 utiles, 2m. 48s., and she did this and 
a little to spare. 
The regatta was a very successful one. There 
were seventeen starters, and although the weather 
was light, the finishes were close, and seconds 
only separated several at the finish. H. de B. 
Parsons, chairman, and C. Sherman Hoyt were 
the officials, and the race was handled without 
a hitch of any kind, and good judgment was 
shown in the selection of the course. 
In addition to the big schooner race Miladi 
and Dervish met in a special race. Dervish had 
to allow much time, but Miladi finished first by 
45 seconds and won easily. Dervish flew a pro¬ 
test flag as she finished, presumably for some 
violation of the rules of the road. The sloop 
Avenger, now owned by Daniel Bacon, has no 
competitor, so she tried to ailow full time to 
the winner of Class M. This was the Ironde¬ 
quoit, and Avenger won the race by a small 
margin. She sailed very well all over the course. 
In the regular Class M, Irondequoit defeated 
Adventuress by 39 seconds. This was a sur¬ 
prise, as Irondequoit was not at her best under 
the conditions. Dorello, now owned by W. 
Bark ie Henry, had no class competitor, so she 
sailed a special race with the winner of Class 
M, and she defeated Irondequoit. In Class P, 
which is the racing class of the year, Corinthian, 
sailed by Colgate Hoyt, Jr., won front Wind¬ 
ward and Cara Mia. It was Cara Mia’s first 
appearance, and she was sailed by her owner, 
Stuyvesant Wainwright, assisted by his brother, 
R. T. Wainwright. 
Caprice, handied by her owner, Ralph N. Ellis, 
sailed a good race in the 30-foot class and won. 
Phryne finished second and Nepsi third. The 
contest between the second and third boats was 
more interesting because their owners were not 
on board. Elliot Tuckerman sailed Phryne and 
F. G. Stewart handied Nepsi. Neither of these 
two yachtsmen had sailed a 30-footer before and 
they were very keen from start to finish and did 
well, but Mr. Tuckerman defeated Mr. Stewart 
by 13 seconds. 
1 he wind when the committee signalled the 
courses was west northwest. The tide was the 
last of the ebb. For the big class of schooners, 
course 9 was selected. 
Course 9 took the yachts from the starting 
line off Motts Point, three miles northeast, one- 
half east b}' Matinicock Point buoy, then io-l 4 
miles northeast, seven-eighths east to a mark off 
Long Neck Point. From there it was west 
southwest, 10JJ miles to Parsonage Point, and 
then 374 mi es south by west, one-third west 
across the Sound to the finish. The first three 
miles was a broad reach and balloons were sent 
up in stops ready to break out. The warning 
sounded at noon and the yachts began to maneu¬ 
ver. There was a nice breeze drawing out of 
Hempstead Harbor so that they handled well. 
Shortly before the starting signal both yachts 
were heading southeast wi*h Elena on the 
weather quarter of Irolita and both on the star¬ 
board tack. Elena tacked and stood for the line. 
She handled very quickly. Iro’ita wore round 
and was slow, so that Elena was able to take 
a lead of 59 seconds at the line. This loss proved 
costly at the finish. They reached with booms 
to starboard, each yacht carrying a balloon jib 
topsail and baboon maintopmast staysail. On 
Irolita the spinnaker pole was lowered, but it 
was taken in again. Elena luffed across Iroiita’s 
l ow and kept well out in the Sound while Irolita 
s f ood on her course. Captain Dennis was trying 
to sail the leg of the course by making two 
t^cks to leeward and for a time it seemed as 
if Irolita was doing the better work. She set 
her spinnaker and footed well. About 12:45 
E'ena jibed and reached back to the course and
