Some News and a Little Gossip. 
The yachts of the New York Y. C. are now 
on the annual cruise. The fleet gathered at 
Glen Cove on Thursday afternoon, where Com¬ 
modore C. Ledyard Blair formally took com¬ 
mand at 5 o’clock. Early on Friday they 
started to race to Morris Cove and to-day the 
run is to New London. There the fleet will re¬ 
main at anchor until Monday morning, when it 
will sail for Fort Pond Bay. This is a new de¬ 
parture and all the yachtsmen can do there is 
see where it is proposed that the ocean liners 
shall land and visit one another on their yachts. 
It is a lonely desolate place, and they will be 
glad to get away on Tuesday morning. From 
Fort Pond Bay the run will be to New Bedford, 
52 miles away. This will be the longest run of 
the cruise, but in a nice southwesterly wind they 
should make good time. From New Bedford 
the fleet will go to Newport. There the races 
for the Astor and King’s cups will be sailed. 
There are two Astor cups, one for sloops and 
one for schooners, and in the King’s cup race 
the yachts sail in one class. 
Just before the race for the King's cup is 
started the schooners Karina and Atlantic will 
start in their race for the Brenton’s Reef cup. 
This trophy is held by the Atlantic and the 
Karina is the challenging yacht. She is owned 
by Robert E. Tod, and was built this year. She 
is 150 feet on the waterline and 198 feet over 
all. The start for this race will be from Bren¬ 
ton’s Reef Lightship and the course is to and 
around the Ambrose Channel Lightship and 
back to Brenton’s Reef. The race should end 
sometime on Saturday, Aug. 12. 
The interest in the cruise this year centers in 
the racing of Elena, Morton F. Plant’s new 
schooner, and Westward, owned by Alexander 
S. Cochran. Westward is a keel vessel draw¬ 
ing 17 feet. She won everything last year in 
British waters, for which racing she was built. 
Elena was built for the American rule, and while 
in model and general dimensions she is almost 
the same as Westward, she has a centerboard, 
so the old battle between centerboard and keel 
will be revived after there has been a rest for 
many years. In British waters the centerboard 
is taxed, but in these waters there is no tax, al¬ 
though the board enables the yacht to increase 
her draft by at least ten feet. 
Enchantress and Irolita will help to make 
things interesting in the big class. In the sloop 
classes Istalena, Avenger, Gardenia, Shimna, 
now owned by Robert Treat Paine, 2d, Cara 
Mia, Corinthian, the 30-footers, and some others 
will meet, and in the big races these meetings 
will be of more than ordinary interest. 
After the cruise yachtsmen will turn their at¬ 
tention to the race week of the Atlantic Y. C., 
which will be held off Sea Gate Aug. 22, 23 and 
24. The racing at Sea Gate this year promises 
to be unusually interesting. Only the smaller 
boats are in commission this year, and as there 
is no better strip of water in the vicinity for 
the racing of small craft than the course that 
lies off Sea Gate, the owners of many craft that 
race on Long Island Sound and Great South 
Bay will be only too glad to take part in the 
annual classic of the Atlantic Y. C. 
Already invitations have been sent to every 
recognized yacht club that has a one-designed 
fleet as well as to many of the owners of craft 
that measure into the regular classes. It is ex¬ 
pected that at least seventy-five boats will start 
each day during the series. 
Interest will center principally in the racing 
among the Q boats. The third leg for the 
famous $2,500 Thompson trophy will be decided, 
and as there is keen interest among the owners 
of the 25-footers it is expected that every boat 
eligible will be at the starting line. Already 
there are on the Lower Bay Hendon Chubb’s 
Spider, W. A. Barstow’s Soya, E. G. Stewart’s 
Princess, W. H. Childs’ More Joy, G. Davis’ 
Alice, E. F. Luckenback's Suelew, and Gray- 
jacket, the property of Floyd S. Noble. The P 
boats also will have an interesting series, as W. 
H. Childs has promised to race his Joyant, and 
R. A. Monks will sail Windward. With these 
boats on the Lower Bay, undoubtedly Cara Mia 
and Corinthian, the remaining boats of the di¬ 
vision, will report at Sea Gate. 
In connection with the Atlantic race week 
the Crescent Athletic Club will hold its second 
race for the Lipton cup. The prize is for the 
S class, and there has been built for the series 
two new boats. One is Cyric, the property of 
Dr. C. L. Atkinson, rear-commodore of the 
Bensonhurst Y. C., and the other is the Herres- 
hoff-designed racer Wink, which belongs to D. 
G. Whitlock. In addition to the new boats the 
division will include several of the S boats from 
Long Island Sound as well as one or two of 
the old Lipton cup racers of the Lower Bay. 
The south shore of Long Island will be well 
represented in the regatta. Last year the Islip. 
the Cedarlmrst and the Bellport Bay yacht clubs 
all sent their one-design classes and the same 
boats have again entered the big regatta. In 
addition the Keystone Y. C. has been invited, 
as well as the South Shore Y. C., the South 
Bay Y. C. and other organizations. From Long- 
Island Sound the regatta committee expects the 
one-design boats of the Larchmont Y. C., the 
new star class of the American Y. C.. the one- 
design boats from the Bay Side, the Port Wash¬ 
ington and the Whitestone yacht clubs and sev¬ 
eral of the 30-footers of the New York Y. C. 
Indian Harbor Y. C. 
The twenty-third annual regatta of the In¬ 
dian Harbor Y. C. was sailed on the Sound last 
Saturday. The wind was moderate from south, 
shifting to southwest. Triangular courses were 
sailed. 1 he first leg for the larger classes was 
to Long Neck Point, the second to Lloyds 
Neck and the third across the Sound to the 
finish line off Great Captain’s Island. This 
gave them a reach with booms to port on the 
first leg, a reach with booms to starboard on 
the second leg and a beat on the last leg which 
later became a reach. 
Istalena and Avenger sailed a fine race. Ista¬ 
lena had to allow time and she managed to get 
home with twenty-three seconds to spare. In 
the 31-rater class Commodore Child’s Joyant 
won from Windward easily. Cara Mia did not 
finish. There were nine starters in the class 
for 30-footers, and Ibis, sailed by H. L. Max¬ 
well, won with Ralph N. Ellis’s Caprice second. 
Salas won in the interclub class, Jade won in 
the Glen Cove class and Star Faraway won in 
the star class. The race was managed by E. 
Burton Hart, Henry C. Pelton and John W.

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
One of the features of the season of the Sea- 
wanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. at Oyster Bay each 
summer is the racing for prizes offered by 
Commodore Hastings. The conditions are that 
each competing yacht must be sailed by a lady 
but the owners may be on board and direct the 
sailing and do the hard work. The yachts are 
the 15-footers owned by club members. Six 
started last Saturday afternoon in a moderate 
southwest wind and Mrs. Clinton Mackenzie 
sailed her husband’s yacht Thelema to victory. 
The race was a remarkably close one and 
Thelema finished only 4s. ahead of Iris, sailed 
by Miss Agnes Landon. Tamale, sailed by Mrs. 
W. Wood, was just 10s. further astern, and then 
came Hen, sailed by Miss Nichols. The times: 
Thelema . 1 32 50 Hen . 1 33 15 
Iris . 1 32 54 Sabrina . 1 35 30 
Tamale . 1 33 04 Imp . 1 35 40
