the Manhasset Bay cup, a copy of which pro¬ 
test is inclosed. 
“The committee is of the opinion that the pro¬ 
test should be sustained and hereby informs you 
that Joyant cannot participate in the contest. 
“/Emelius Jarvis, 
“Charles Lane Poor, 
“James D. Sparkman.” 
This .caused consternation in the Indian Har¬ 
bor camp. Addison G. Hanan, who was sailing 
the boat, Commodore Childs and others at once 
visited the committee. The owners of o her 
yachts were sent for and there was a long con¬ 
ference on board the committee boat, Jessica. 
Everything was done in the most friendly way, 
although it might possibly mean that one at least 
of the contestants could not start. Commodore 
Childs protested Corinthian, Cara Mia and 
Windward on the same grounds, they also hav¬ 
ing the objectionable curves. It was finally 
agreed that the races should go on, and that 
each yacht should be allowed to compete, but 
each yacht protested must be measured again 
within a week after the last race of the series 
is sailed. The yachtsmen then got ready for the 
race. 
The boats and the men on board were: Cara 
Mia, defender, American Y. C.; Stuyvesant 
Wainwright, helmsman; R. T. Wainwright, 
George P. Granbery. Corinthian, challenger, 
Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C.; C. Sherman Hoyt, 
helmsman; H. M. Crane, Paul Hammond. 
Amoret, Corinthian Y. C.; H. S. Wheelock, 
helmsman; C. B. Wheelock, E. H. Merriman, 
A. C. Jones. Joyant, Indian Harbor Y. C.; Ad¬ 
dison G. Hanan, helmsman; E. Burton Hart, 
Butler Whiting. Italia, Boston Y. C.; George 
Lee, helmsman; Ernest Hendrie, Frank P. 
Monroe, Harry Griffith. Sayonara, Portland Y. 
C ; George Owen, heimsman; Vernon F. West, 
George F. West, Dana Waldron. Timandra, 
Eastern Y. C.; J. B. Fallon, helmsman; George 
Fuller, John G. Alden, James Tillinghast. Wind¬ 
ward, Larchmont Y. C.; Jerome Monks, helms¬ 
man; R. A. Monks, A. H. W. Johnson and Ross 
Delamater. 
Herreshoff designed and built Cara Mia, Joy¬ 
ant and Windward; George Owens designed 
Timandra, Amoret, Italia and Sayonara, and 
William Gardner designed Windward. Joyant, 
Corinthian, Sayonara and Itaiia were built this 
year, Windward and Cara Mia were built in 
1909 and Timandra and Amoret last year. 
Jessica, with the committee and Prof. Hallock, 
the measurer, Harold Wainwright and Mulford 
Martin, made the starting line and sent a motor 
boat to put out the turning mark, which was 
four miles to windward, a little to the east of 
Matinicock Point buoy. The starting line was 
off Great Captain's Island. The wind was south 
southwest and the tide was running to the east. 
At 2140 the starting gun boomed and each 
boat was almost on the line. Addison G. Hanan 
had gained the coveted position. Joyant was at 
the weather end with nothing to bother her. 
Timandra was really first across the line, but she 
was to leeward. Italia was last across and she 
had a weatherly position, but she was astern of 
the others. At the lee end of the line were Cara 
Mia, Windward and Corinthian. Mr. Wain¬ 
wright had tried for the other end, but seeing 
so many boats going there had taken a chance 
at the lee end and his boat was in a bad position. 
Cara Mia at once took the port tack, and pass¬ 
ing astern of the others stood to the westward 
in order to get her wind clear. Timandra made 
a short tack for the same purpose. The others 
all held the starboard tack and stood well across 
the Sound. It was the proper tack, as on the 
other side the wind was fresher and there was 
less tide. Joyant gradually forged ahead. She 
stood in toward Oak Neck and then took the 
port tack for the line. Sayonara had worked 
into second place and Corinthian had improved 
her position very much, while Cara Mia was a 
bad last. The order of turning the mark and 
e'apsed time for the four-mile leg were: 
Joyant . 0 47 05 Amoret . 0 50 00 
Sayonara . 0 47 55 Windward . 0 51 05 
Corinthian . 0 48 36 Timandra . 0 52 19 
-ftalia . 0 49 31 Cara Mia . 0 54 55

luck. The spinnaker halliards got away and the 
boom and sail fell into the water. It was soon 
recovered and set again and in spite of this she 
sailed well down the wind. Addison G. Hanan 
kept Joyant going on in front, and astern Corin- 
thion and Sayonara were having a close fight. 
The order at the home mark and elapsed times 
for the run were: 
Joyant . 0 36 00 
Corinthian . 0 35 57 
Sayonara . 0 36 49 
Italia . 0 35 44 
Amoret . 0 35 50 
Windward . 0 35 05 
Timandra . 0 34 15 
Cara Mia . 0 35 07 
Cara Mia had made a good gain and was in 
the race again, and they started off to go around 
the second time. The wind was west by north 
and this made it a reach, but across the Sound 
the same old southwester was blowing, and as 
the tide was running strongly to the east, each 
yachtsman held his boat high of the course. 
Cara Mia held high of the course and was able 
to fetch the mark and was third boat to turn. 
The order of timing and elapsed times were: 
Joyant . 0 53 18 Italia . 0 58 50 
Corinthian . 0 53 37 Windward . 0 58 5! 
Cara Mia . 0 48 3S Amoret . 0 59 29 
Sayonara . 0 55 43 Timandra . 0 58 51 
After the leaders had turned, the wind fell 
lighter and it headed the last four of the fleet. 
The run home was a very fluky one. 
The order of finish and elapsed times for the 
last leg were: 
Joyant . 0 47 39 
Corinthian . 0 51 03 
Cara Mia . 0 51 53 
Sayonara . 0 56 12 
Windward . 0 56 13 
Italia . 0 57 53 
Amoret . 0 57 01 
Timandra . 1 00 01

SECOND RACE. 
The course for the second race was triangular 
with turning marks Matinicock Point buoy, Oak 
Neck buoy and the starting line off Great Cap¬ 
tain's Island. 
The wind was southwest at i o’clock and the 
first leg of the course was to windward, the 
compass course being south by west one-half 
west. The usual warning and preparatory sig¬ 
nals were made, and the skippers gathered their 
yachts at the committee boats, or western end 
of the line. They were so closely bunched that 
one could easily step from one yacht to another, 
but they did not bump, and when the starting 
signal sounded at 1:10 o’clock, Addison G. 
Hanan had Joyant at the weather end and right 
on the line. 
Two Eastern men on Sayonara and Timandra 
had just misjudged things and were over too 
soon. They were recalled, but soon worked over 
the line again and lost little. Cara Mia was 
close up to Joyant and then came Windward. 
Corinthian was further to leeward, Mr. Hoyt 
keeping out of the close company of the others. 
Sayonara, Timandra, Italia and Amoret fol¬ 
lowed. 
Just as they hit the line there was a shift in 
the wind for a moment, a puff or two coming 
from west or west by north, so that it looked
