New Rochelle Y. C. 
Fifty-eight yachts started in the twenty- 
sixth annual regatta of the New Rochelle Y. 
C. on Long Island Sound last Saturday, but 
calms and fitful winds made it hard work to 
get around the courses, but in spite of these 
handicaps, all but eleven of the fleet managed 
to finish. 
Three of the Class P boats, Stuyvesant Wain- 
wright’s Cara Mia, R. A. Monk’s Windward 
and W. H. Child’s Joyant crossed the starting 
line in that order, leaving the big fleet at quarter 
past twelve in a light breeze from the northeast. 
Windward had the weather berth. The crew 
of Corinthian were unable to release her from 
the ways at Cold Spring, L. I., and so she 
missed the day’s sport. The Regatta Committee 
—G. P. Granberry, M. S. Kattenhorn and A. E. 
Eldredge, quartered on board William S. 
Creevey’s new 6o-foot power yacht Eileen, off 
Echo Bay, sent the fifteen classes away at five- 
minute intervals, and a pretty sight they pre¬ 
sented as they sped away to the eastward on 
the port tack for their respective marks off 
Scotch Caps and Parsonage Point. 
The times of the leaders taken at the end of 
the first round of the course were: Cara Mia, 
3:09:10; Windward, 3:50:20; Joyant, 3:54:45; 
Rowdy, 3:57:18; Alera, 3:59 -.32; Juanita, 4:02:00; 
Carlita, 4:03:10; Nepsi, 4:04:54. The fluky con¬ 
ditions are shown by the elapsed time of the 
P class boats on the first and second rounds of 
the 7}i-m ile course, as follows: Cara Mia, first 
round 2.54.10; second, 1.58.52; Windward, first 
round, 3.35.02; second, 1.40.57; Joyant, first 
round, 2.39.45; second, 1.59.32. Cara Mia finally 
won from Windward by 23m. 15s., and from 
Joyant, 26m. 15s. L. C. Griscom’s Yolande was 
the winner in the N. Y. Y. C. 30-foot class. 
She defeated the Rowdy by 30m. 10s.

Atlantic Y. C. 
The third championship race of the Graves¬ 
end Bay series, sailed last Saturday under the 
auspices of the Atlantic Y. C., was a most try¬ 
ing one for the yachtsmen. At the starting 
hour there was a light wind from northwest 
and a course was selected which would give the 
yachts a nice windward leg against tlie tide. 
1 hey had no sooner got across the line, how¬ 
ever, when the wind began to tail and for more 
than two hours the yaclits were helpless, drift¬ 
ing with the tide until nearly all anchored. 
Late in the afternoon a very light air enabled 
the yachts to make one round of the courses, 
when they were stopped by the committee. 
Under the conditions there was little or no 
interest in the struggle. The Q class was made 
up of Soya, Spider, Suelew and Alice. They 
were sent from the starting line off Sea Gate to 
Ambrose Channel buoy No. 13, then to Fort 
Hamilton, Bensonhurst and back to the start¬ 
ing line. Again Soya showed her superiority 
over the later creations and won by 9111. 9s. over 
Spider, another old craft. It is the third 
straight win scored by the Soya since additional 
lead had been put into the craft.

American Sonders Win. 
The three American Sonder boats sent to 
race against a trio of German boats at Kiel had 
little difficulty in capturing the prizes donated 
by the German Emperor and Prince Henry of 
Prussia. They won every race, and only in one 
event did a German boat finish ahead of an 
American. 
In the first race sailed on June 19, twice 
around a triangular course, the times at the 
finish were: Beaver, 2.49.15; Cima, 2.49.18; 
Bibelot, 2.49.30; Tilly XIV., 2.52.58; Seehund IP. 
2.56.15; Wannsee, 2.56.31. The wind was brisk 
and sea smooth. 
The one, two, three order was repeated in 
the second race, except that Cima won. The 
course was windward and return, and the race 
was sailed in a heavy wind and considerable sea. 
The times were: Cima, 2.25.31; Bibelot, 2.25.39; 
Beaver, 2.26.00; Tilly XIV., 2.27.55; Wannsee, 
2.32.31; Seehund III., 2.41.55. 
The third race was sailed June 22. Bibelot 
won, Beaver was second, Seehund IIP, third. 
The real contest was between Seehund and 
Cima, and Seehund won by only half a minute. 
Tilly XIV was fourth. Wannsee broke her 
gaff before the start. 
The fourth race was won by Bibelot, fol¬ 
lowed in order by Cima, Beaver, Tilly XIV., 
Wannsee and Seehund IIP This eliminated 
the German boats and left the Americans in to 
fight for the prizes. 
In the last race Bibelot, owned by PI. P. 
Whitney and Robert W. Emmons 2d, won and 
took the Emperor’s prize. Her time was 2.18.01. 
Beaver was second, 2.18.08. Cima retired at 
the end of the first round. The course was tri¬ 
angular and the wind and sea heavy. Beaver 
showed well at windward work, but was caught 
down the wind by Bibelot. Beaver led at the 
beginning of the last leg. 
Sea Bird at Azores. 
The tiny yawl, Sea Bird, with Thomas Flem¬ 
ing Day, Fred B. Thurber and T. B. Goodwin 
on board, reached Horta in the Azores on 
Saturday, July 1. She had made a remarkable 
passage across the Atlantic for so small a yacht. 
She sailed from Providence on June to and 
was spoken the next day at Nantucket Shoals 
Lightship, but that was the last heard of her 
until her arrival at Horta. According to Cap¬ 
tain Day, Sea Bird was becalmed for four days, 
and for six days had an unbroken series of head 
winds, which caused the little craft to lose two 
days. Eight days of favorable weather was en¬ 
countered, but when nearing the coast of the 
Azores the wind freshened to heavy gales. 
At the height of the gale the chart showed no 
bottom, and Captain Day was compelled to put 
out the sea anchor, which held Sea Bird's head 
to the wind until the s.torm abated. Then the 
voyage to Horta was resumed. 
It is expected that Sea Bird would take 
twenty-six days to- make the 2,200 miles to the 
Azores, so that she is six days ahead of her 
schedule. She will next be heard from at 
Gibraltar, 900 miles further, and then proceed 
to Rome by way of the Straits of Bonifacio, 
another 900 miles. Sea Bird is 25 feet 5 inches 
over all and 19 feet waterline. 
Nutmeg Wins Block Island Race. 
The twenty-eight yachts of the New York Y. 
C. fleet in the Block Island race on June 25 
had light wind all the way. Only seven finished 
the next day within the time allowance. The 
little sloop Nutmeg, owned by A. C. Jones, of 
the Boston Y. C., which has won more than a 
hundred races, appears the winner on her time 
allowance of two hours. 
Nutmeg arrived second of the yachts, one 
minute after Alert, owned by R. B. Budd, of 
the Norwalk Y. C., which passed the finish off 
West Harbor at one o’clock in the afternoon. 
Alert had an allowancve of only ih. 15m., and 
the third boat, Mahdeena, owned by H. H. 
Moulton, of the New Rochelle Y. C., which 
finished at twelve minutes of two o’clock, al¬ 
though having an allowance of 2I1. 35m., could 
not cut into Nutmeg’s corrected time of 22h. 
46m. The other vessels which finished within 
the general time allowance were: Interim, R. 
N. Bavier, New Rochelle Y. C.; Nautilus, E. 
E. Dickinson, Hartford Y. C.; Oriole, C. A. 
Goodwin, Hartford Y. C., and Fearless, B. R. 
Stoddard, New Rochelle Y. C. 
In the power boat race, held in conjunction 
with the yachting contest, the winners were: 
Ruth II., W. P. Burroughs, Harlem Y. C.; 
Elizabeth, L. D. Huntington, New Rochelle Y. 
C., and Classic, James Craig, New Rochelle 
Y. C. 
Yacht Sales. 
The Hollis Burgess Yacht Agency has sold 
the 40-foot waterline cruising sloop Leslie, 
owned by James S. Donnell, of Boston, to 
George F. Woodman, of Newburyport, Mass., 
and the Cohasset one-design class knockabout 
Delta, owned by Ralph B. Williams, of Co¬ 
hasset. Mass., to H. A. Jennings, of Bridge¬ 
port, Conn.
