Wins a Yachtsmen’s Club Race. 
Com. J. G. N. Whitaker’s Ilys won the 200- 
mile race of the Yachtsmen’s Club of Philadel¬ 
phia, which was started last Friday. This was 
for yachts measuring more than 45 feet in 
length. She beat out four good cruisers, in¬ 
cluding Caliph, the winner of the Havana race. 
Commodore Whitaker’s craft was lost in the 
fog fully two hours, but despite this mishap, 
won out handily. 
Mariada, with R. M. and R. Moore at the 
wheel, sailing under the colors of the newly- 
organized Chelsea Y. C., sprung the surprise 
of the regatta by landing second place. Com¬ 
modore M. E. Brigham’s Caliph, of the Vent- 
nor Y. C.. was third. Isabella II., Commodore 
Joseph Thompson, of the Ventnor Club, was 
fourth, and Sybilla II., John F. Betz, of the 
Yachtsmen’s Club, Philadelphia, fifth. Her 
navigator was forced to anchor off Barnegat 
Bay because she lost her bearings, and also her 
chance of winning. Summary:

The Philadelphia Yachtsmen’s Club also car¬ 
ried off first honors in the second class power 
boat class, those measuring 45 feet over all, 
when Chelwood, Rugus King Lenning, with a 
handicap of a little over 4[4 hours, outdis¬ 
tanced all competitors for the race. Albatross, 
owned by James Thompson, of the Stone Har¬ 
bor Y. C., was second, while Skibo, Judge 
Allen Brown Endicott, of the Ventnor Y. C., 
the only scratch boat in the race, finished third. 
She lost her bearings about three hours, during 
last night, putting her altogether out of the 
running. 
Eugenia, Dr. Eugene Swayne, of the Yachts¬ 
men's Club of Philadelphia, went out of her 
course and did not report until late this eve¬

Cl assic Wins a Race. 
The long distance race of the New Rochelle 
Y. C. for motor boats last Saturday resulted in 
a victory for Classic, owned by James Craig, 
Jr. These boats went from Echo Bay to Corn¬ 
field lightship and return, a distance of 140 
miles. There were eight starters and they were 
sent away at 5 o’clock in the afternoon and 
raced through the night. Kathmar was the 
largest boat in the race rating at 61.47, and 
Blue Peter V. was next, 50.00 Classic rating at 
33-54 was the smallest, and she did well. She 
got a big allowance from the larger boats, and 
although she was the last to finish, she won on 
corrected time, with Elmo II. second. Thistle 
had trouble with her engines and put into 
Oyster Bay. The summary:

Disturber a Fast Boat. 
James A. Pugh’s hydroplane, Disturber II., 
in a try.out over the western regatta course at 
Dubuque last week made a trip from turn to 
turn, a distance of 2[4 miles, in 3m. 5s., an 
average of 78s. for the mile and a speed of 
46 1-6 miles an hour. 
Disturber II. was designed by W. H. Fauber, 
the American hydroplane pioneer, and is 32 
feet over all and 6 feet 5 inches beam. She is 
a twin-screw, fitted with two Sterling engines 
of 260 horsepower. She was built by the Inland 
Lake Boat Company, of Geneva, Wis., and was 
guaranteed to make 45 miles an hour. She 
probably will be entered in the elimination trials 
to select a team of three American boats for 
the British International cup for motor boats
