[July i, 1911. 
she took the lead from Irolita. Then both ran 
with spinnakers until they were lost in the haze. 
At the first mark Elena led by about 5 minutes. 
Kites were doused and with baby jib topsails 
they had a close reach to the next mark and 
when seen coming out of the mist Elena had a 
lead of about a mile, which she still had when 
she hauled on the wind for the last leg. The 
wind had freshened and came southwest by south, 
giving the yachts a beat across the Sound and 
on this leg Irolita did so well that she almost 
won the race, being beaten by only 11 seconds. 
The other classes sailed a course of ig% miles, 
going to marks off Woolsey’s Reef and Parson¬ 
age Point. The start of the big sloops was 
pretty. Avenger took the middle of the line, 
Irondequoit the leeward end, but moving fast, 
and Adventuress and Dorello at the windward 
end, but with little wind. A. H. W. Johnston 
sailed Irondequoit, assisted by James D. Spark¬ 
man and H. G. S. Noble, her owner. Down the 
wind the race was a close one. At the turn 
the times were: Avenger, 2.07.30; Adventuress, 
2.12.42; Dorello, 2.13.42; Irondequoit, 2.1425; 
Close reaching, Avenger increased her lead while 
Irondequoit passed Dorello and closed up on 
Adventuress. Avenger sailed the windward leg 
in fine style and the freshening wind suited Iron¬ 
dequoit so that she was able to win the race in 
her class. 
The 31-raters started with Cara Mia in the 
lead, followed by Corinthian and Windward. At 
the mark the order was: Windward, 2.28.01; 
Corinthian, 2.28.53; Cara Mia, 2.32.09. On the 
wind Corinthian managed to overhaul Windward 
and win the race. 
Miladi with Butler Whiting and T. G. J. Flint 
assisting George Scoot, the owner, crossed the 
line leading Dervish by 3 minutes. Dervish led 
at the leeward mark, the times being: Dervish, 
2.13.42; Miladi, 2.15.37. Reaching and beating, 
Miladi outsailed Dervish and drew through the 
black schooner's lee shortly before reaching 
home. The times:

Beverly Y. C. 
There were two classes in the regatta of the 
Beverly Y. C. last Saturday, and the yachts sailed 
in a wind so light at the start that a short course 
was selected. Later it freshened from the south¬ 
west. In the 21-footers over course 13, Fora- 
minifer again led the fleet, beating Saracenby 
nearly 2 minutes and the tail-end Phantom by 
nearly 15 minutes. Foraminifer again showed 
that she is a fleet-footed racer and appears to 
be just suited for the racing in this bay. 
In the 15-foot c'ass Vim won her first victory 
of the year and showed that she has all the 
speed she had last year and must be reckoned 
with. 
Endeavor entered a protest against Pheasant, 
charging that the latter refused to keep clear 
when going before the wind, when Endeavor 
was going to windward. The times: 
Twenty-one-Foot Class.—Foraminifer 1.38.38; 
Saracen, 1.40.16; Terrapin, 1.45.28; Lethe, 1.46.17;

Seawanhakal Corinthian Y. C. 
FRIDAY, JUNE 23- 
A special regatta was arranged by the Sea- 
wanhaka-Corinthian V. C. for the best of the 
racing classes and a fair sized fleet sailed over 
courses starting from the black spar buoy to 
the westward of Lloyd's Neck. The wind was 
west and light at the start, but later it came 
W. N. W. and freshened. The course took the 
yachts 2*4 miles across the Sound to a mark 
off Greenwich Point, then to a mark off Long 
Neck Point and then home, a total distance of 
15% miles. The 15-footers sailed a triangle, 
6V 2 miles around. Two schooners, Miladi and 
Dervish, met. Miladi was sailed by Butler 
Whiting and did well. Dervish was late at the 
start, but turned the weather mark leading by 
im. 26s. and at the finish was 3m. 13s. ahead of 
Miladi. On corrected time Miladi won. 
Gardenia and Adventuress raced in Class M. 
Gardenia was well handled, and although Ad¬ 
venturess was leading at the finish, she was 
beaten on corrected time. A special race was 
arranged between Avenger and the winner of 
Class M, Avenger allowing full time. This was 
won by Avenger by 33s. In another special 
race, Gardenia tried to allow time to Dorello 
and Dorello won. 
Corinthian defeated Joyant by im. 31s. Cor¬ 
inthian, sailed by C. Sherman Hoyt, led at the 
first mark and retained her lead to the finish. 
Ralph N. Ellis won another race with Caprice 
in the 30-footer class, Juanita finishing second 
and Nepsi third. 
Eight of the 15-footers raced and these small 
yachts were sailed by women. Miss Margaret 
Roosevelt sailed Grilse and w'as first across the 
line at the start. Mrs. T. B. Bleecker sailed 
Sabrina, Miss Dorothy was skipper on Water 
Baby, Mrs. Clinton Mackenzie had charge of 
Thelema and Miss Edith Landon sailed Imp. 
The race was won by Sabrina, with Imp second 
and Ibis third. The times:

SATURDAY, JUNE 24. 
The annual regatta of the Seawanhaka-Cor- 
inthian Y. C. was sailed last Saturday. The 
wind was light and changeable. At the start it 
was from the S. E., and toward the close it died 
out and then came in S. W. The courses were 
the same as for the previous day’s races. O11 
account of the lightness of the wind, the yachts 
went around the triangles but once. The first 
leg across the Sound was a broad reach and 
some yachts were able to carry spinnakers. It 
was another reach to the next mark, and the 
last leg was windward work for a part of the 
journey and a reach later. Miladi won again 
from Dervish, and this time finished in the lead. 
In the race for Class M sloops, Adventuress 
finished first, but was beaten on corrected time 
by Irondequoit, which again showed that she is 
not a one weather boat. Gardenia started but 
did not finish. In a special class with Avenger 
against the winner of the regular class. Avenger 
won, defeating Irondequoit by 20s. corrected 
time. In another special class to make a race 
for Dorello, Irondequoit won by a small 
margin. 
Corinthian, sailed by C. Sherman Hoyt, made 
a good start, with Joyant handled by Addison 
G. Hanan and Butler Whiting, second, and 
Windward third. The race between the two 
new boats was very close and luck entered 
largely into the result. Corinthian won, with 
Joyant second. 
Ten of the New York Y. C. 30-footers started. 
Those owned in the club sailed for the Leland 
Corinthian challenge cup. Johnston de Forest 
added the class prize and the challenge cup to 
his already large collection. Rowdy was second 
and Phryne third. 
In the second division of the handicap class, 
G. P. Cranberry’s Scud was 14m. 15s. late at 
the start. She finished first and won the race 
handily.^ Scylla won the Manhasset Bay class 
race fro'm the Mile. Boss by 2s. Opal, owned 
by J. S. Morgan, Jr., and sailed by David Dun¬ 
can, won the race for the Jewel S class, with 
Jade second. 
Seven of the Seawanhaka-Corinthian 15-foot¬ 
ers sailed for the Robert Center memorial prize 
in addition to the class prize. This was won by 
J. C. Henderson's Flicker after a close contest. 
Drena defeated Nereid in the S class, and Killie 
won the race for the Stamford class, in which 
there were seven starters. The times:
