citing. In the two previous events for this cup 
Yankee had been winner, and if she could have 
crossed the line first this time, the cup would 
have become her property. The race was won 
by Meteor with Kathleen second and Harpoon 
third. The following are the yachts that entered 
the race and the times:

Another important event that took place on 
the Bay the same day was the annual regatta 
of the San Francisco Y. C. The yachts of this 
club were divided into four classes, the winners 
being as follows: Class A, Fleur de Lis; Class 
B, Merry Widow; Class C, Annie; Class D, 
Martha. 
The race in Class C was especially interesting, 
as Challenger is in this class and this yacht has 
been selected to represent the club in the forth¬ 
coming contest for the San Francisco perpetual 
cup, the great racing event in local yachting 
circles. Annie, with a handicap of 7m., defeated 
Challenger, but only by a margin of 36s. Chal¬ 
lenger made the fastest time over the course, 
her time being 2h. 24m. and 37s.

Activity in Yacht Transfers. 
An indication of the effect, of the heat wave 
on the yachting world may be seen in the fol¬ 
lowing list of transactions through the agency 
of Cox & Stevens during the past six weeks

in such matters, the early season having been 
about normal:

ican has been sold for Mrs. G. W. Thomas to 
Mr. E. R. Dick, N. Y. Y. C., who has since 
transferred the vessel to the Haytian flag.

tered for the season to a prominent Boston

Messrs. Cox & Stevens report that the mar¬ 
ket is still active, the only difficulty in trans¬ 
acting business being the scarcity of available 
vessels. 
Sea Bird at Rome. 
The yawl Sea Bird with Thomas Fleming 
Day arrived at Rome on July 25. About 50,000 
persons gathered on the banks of the Tiber and 
cheered the enthusiastic yachtsmen as they ap¬ 
proached the city. Sea Bird was greeted with 
cheers and the waving of American flags. 
United States Minister John G. A. Leishman, 
the Count di San Martino, president of the ex¬ 
hibition committee, and numerous Americans 
welcomed Captain Day and his crew of two. 
The seafarers were overwhelmed by the re¬ 
ception accorded them and expressed their 
gratitude. Captain Day denied the report that 
he would cross the Atlantic homebound in the 
little Sea Bird. He said that it would not do 
to tempt Providence a second time, and that 
Sea Bird would be shipped back to the United 
States on a liner and he and his crew would be 
passengers. 
Beverly Y. C. 
As usual the yachts on Buzzard’s Bay found 
a good whole sail breeze from the southwest 
last Saturday when the regatta of the Beverly 
Y. C. was sailed. It increased in strength to¬ 
ward the end and the sea was very lumpy. Fora- 
minifer won again in the 21-foot class, and in 
the Sonder class Sea Coon won, beating Helen 
by nearly 2m. Rebekah won in the 15-foot 
class. The times:

Corinthian Y. C. 
Fourteen yachts started in the club regatta 
of the Corinthian Y. C. off Marblehead last 
Saturday. The wind was light from southwest 
and the course selected was 12 miles long. 
Italia got the start in Class P and led all 
around. Ellen won in the Sonder class and 
Gringo, although she finished second, won on 
corrected time. The times:

Bristol Y. C. 
Eight boats of the Warwick Neck one-design 
class of 15-footers raced last Saturday under the 
auspices of the Bristol Y. C., taking the place 
of the Brenton's Reef cup race for larger boats, 
which was canceled. 
Whiz, owned by E. R. Bancroft, took the first 
prize. Though Zest finished second in the fleet, 
im. and 20s. astern of Whiz, the second prize 
is withheld because Elf, the third boat to finish, 
protested Zest for rubbing the mark at the 
north turn of the course. 
A breeze of 10 miles from the southwest en¬ 
abled the boats to cover, the 8-mile course in 
good season. The first and second prizes were 
given by Rear-Commodore John Palmer 2d.

Miss Waldorf’s Success. 
Miss Margaret Waldorf, daughter of F. H. 
Waldorf, of the New Rochelle Y. C., sailed the 
sloop La Rochelle in the series of .six races of 
Larchmont race week and won five firsts and 
one second. In the race in which the yacht 
finished second it was beaten only a few sec¬ 
onds. This is a remarkable record for any one 
to make in a one-design class where handling 
tells and Miss Waldorf has been heartilly con¬ 
gratulated on her achievement.

Caroline Wins Halifax Race. 
The Caroline, owned by M. F. Dennis, won 
the race of the National Y. C. from Gravesend 
Bay to Halifax. Four yachts started on Satur¬ 
day, July 22, at 2.40 p. m. One, the Tramp had 
engine trouble when off Block Island and put 
into New London for repairs. Mr. Dennis’s 
Caroline took the lead about the time Tramp 
was disabled and did well until late on Monday 
night, when she encountered a severe storm 
from southwest with high seas. For some time 
those on board were unable to pick up the 
lights marking the entrance to the harbor, but 
early on Tuesday morning, July 25, the weather 
cleared and she crossed the finishing line at 
I. 30.30. She had taken 58I1. 30m. 30s. to make 
the journey. Eronel, owned by Vice-Commo¬ 
dore Samuel Cochrane, of the Bensonhurst Y. 
C., was unable to get into the harbor until 
some hours later. She finished at 8 . 57 - 5 ° hav¬ 
ing taken 65I1. 37m. 20s. Snapshot, owned by 
J. B. Lindeman, was nearly two days late. Her 
lateness caused some anxiety, and the revenue 
cutter started to search for her, as it was 
thought she was disabled. She had trouble with 
dirty gasolene, and then on Monday encount¬ 
ered a severe storm with rain. She had a hard 
time, but finally reached Halifax at 6:03:14 on 
the evening of July 26.
