New York Y. C. 
The New York Y. C. had a regatta last 
Saturday on the Sound, starting off Glen Cove. 
The start was made from a line off Mott’s 
Point, near the Glen Cove station and the 
course took the racers across the Sound to 
Parsonage Point, then to Woolsey’s Reef and 
then home. The wind at the start was from 
E. N. E., and a fair sailing breeze, and the first 
leg was a close reach. The schooners were sent 
away at 12:10 o’clock. Miladi led at the line 
and Cygnet was im. 45s. late. They held the 
starboard tack across the Sound. 
The 30-footers started ten minutes later. J. 
P. Morgan, Jr.'s Phryne got away well, with 
Caprice on her weather quarter and Alera at the 
lee end of the line. All were well bunched. 
Soon after crossing the line, W. A. Stewart, 
who was sailing Johnston de Forest’s Nepsi, 
took the port tack in order to get a better 
position. The yacht was being blanketed by 
others. Mr. Stewart tried to pass astern of 
Rowdy, which had the starboard tack, and in 
doing so fouled that yacht. Nepsi at once 
withdrew from the race. 
The second leg of the course was windward 
work for six and three-eighths miles. The last 
leg began with a run, the yachts carrying spin¬ 
nakers, but about a mile from the finish the 
wind shifted to southwest, which gave more 
windward work. Miladi won the schooner race 
by 14m. 16s. In the 30-foot class Phryne was 
the winner. She beat Caprice, the second boat, 
by 9s. These two were far ahead of the rest 
of the fleet. The times:

Riverside Y. C. 
The annual regatta of the Riverside Y. C. 
was sailed last Saturday on the Sound, starting 
off Captain’s Island. There were thirty-six 
starters, and they raced in light variable winds. 
Commodore Edgar F. Luckenback, of the 
Crescent Athletic Club, took his new Q class 
yacht, Suelew, to the scene of action, but found 
there was no class competitor. The Q class 
has not filled this season on the Sound. But a 
special event was arranged for Suelew with B. 
R. Stoddard’s Fearless and the former won by 
15m. 48s. 
The starts were made from the gas buoy off 
Little Captain s Island. The wind then was 
from the east and balloon jibs were carried on 
tlie first leg of the course over the Matinicock 
Point buoy. Then it was windward work. The 
larger classes sailed to Lloyd’s Point and the 
smaller ones to Center Island buoy. After that 
it was a reach across the Sound, but while on 
this leg the wind shifted to southwest and 
spinnakers were carried. 
In the second handicap class, Fearless finished 
nrst, but on corrected time she was beaten by 
Mist. In the third division Chinook finished 
first and .won. A special handicap race was 
sailed by Chinook. Robin Hood and Cliphora 
and was won by the first named yacht. 
There were seven starters in the inter-club 
class. They were well bunched as they went 
across the line, but separated more than usual 
winch showed that the wind was very fluky. 
Yukan was the winner, with Hamburg II 
second. The times:

National Y. C. 
In the National Y. C. regatta, sailed on the 
Lower Bay last Saturday, several yachts were 
not timed because their owners had failed to 
send in their entries. This action of the com¬ 
mittee was somewhat of a surprise to the 
yachtsmen who have been allowing things to 
run along too easily and have not taken the 
trouble to fill out the entry cards for the bene¬ 
fit of the regatta committees. As this race was 
one to count for a championship it will be 
rather hard on the owners. There was a nice 
sailing breeze from the southwest. 
Clare was the only craft not timed that had 
any chance of winning a prize. She finished 
first in the handicap division. When the boat 
was not greeted by a gun there was decided 
surprise on board the craft and her skipper 
asked for an explanation. He was told the 
stand that the committee had taken and sailed 
away a very disgusted man. However, it is 
doubtful if Clare would have won the division 
on corrected time. Careless easily took first 
place from Miana after the handicaps had been 
deducted. 
Without doubt the yachtsmen had one of the 
best sailing breezes of the year. The wind was 
from the sautheast and of a good wholesail 
quality. I he course chosen by the regatta com¬ 
mittee gave the larger craft a reach to Benson¬ 
hurst, where spinnakers were set for a run 
across the channel to Craven Shoals. Here the 
yachts went on the wind for a beat down the 
channel to Ambrose Channel buoy No. 14. A 
spinnaker run followed to Sea Gate and then 
there was a reach home. Soya had no diffi¬ 
culty 111 winning the division. 
Wink made a runaway contest among the S 
boats, winning by almost 5m. from M. and F. 
Suffragette led home the knockabouts of 
Gravesend Bay and Aries had practically a sail- 
over in the dinghy class. The times:

Gloucester Y. C. 
Sabrina Wins off Oyster Bay. 
The 15-footers of the Seawanhaka-Corinthian 
Y. C. sailed a race of the first series off 
Oyster Bay yesterday in a light southwesterly 
wind. There were eight starters and all but 
Alys finished. T. B. Bleecker’s Sabrina was 
the winner with O. G. Jennings’s Dot second. 
The times were slow. The times: Sabrina,

sailed on July 1 in a fluky S. E. wind, which 
hauled to the westward as the race progressed. 
The fiukiness of the wind spoiled the races.
