FOREST AND STREAM 
[Aug. 12, 1911. 
Marine and Field Club. 
Grayjacket was in form last Saturday after¬ 
noon in the regatta of the Marine & Field Club 
on Gravesend Bay. She won very handily in 
the Q class in which there were seven starters. 
The wind was fresh from the southwest, and 
the yachts raced with rails down. The long 
course was Fort Hamilton Buoy 24, Benson- 
hurst and home, and the windward work was 
from Fort Hamilton. At the end of the first 
round the times were: Grayjacket, 4.16.03; 
Alice, 4.18.56; Princess, 4.19.33; More Joy, 
4.20.30; Soya, 4.21.02; Suelew, 4.21.45, and 
Spider, 4.22.05. 
During the second round Alice cut down the 
lead of Grayjacket, but not enough to win. The 
Noble boat crossed the line a winner by 4m. 
32s. Alice just managed to beat out Princess 
for second place. 
In the handicap division Joy and Clare had 
a good race during the first round. In the sec¬ 
ond round, however, Joy steadily drew away 
from her principal rival and won on both actual 
and corrected time. Cyric scored another vic¬ 
tory in the S class and again Skylark led home 
the knockabouts of the lower bay. The dinghy 
class was led by Aries at every mark. The 
summary:

Inter Bay Catboat Races. 
Circulars containing particulars of the much 
discussed inter-bay cabin catboat races for the 
Thomas Fleming Day challenge cup have ar¬ 
rived here from the Quincy Y. C., which is to 
have charge of the contests on Aug. 21, 22, 23, 
24 and 25, and is to follow them with an open 
race for visiting catboats on Aug. 26. 
An unusual attraction for Narragansett Bay 
yachtsmen this year is a series of six races for 
cabin catboats planned by the Boston Y. C. at 
its Hull station the following week, which will 
be open to. any catboat on the Atlantic coast for 
the championship of the coast. This will pro¬ 
vide some sport for the visitors who do not 
ordinarily race. A special inducement for at¬ 
tendance is the extension of the courtesies of 
the Boston Y. C. Hull station (including restau¬ 
rant and dormitories) during the visit. 
Narragansett Bay will be represented by two 
catboats chosen from the yachts now racing in 
Class D. The contestants in this class, from 
which the choice will be made, are: Omeme, 
Fred J. Holt; Clara, John D. Peck; Mblem, C. 
O. Latham; Marguerite, G. W. May; Gilt Edge, 
William E. Simmons. 
Because of the unusual attraction this year it 
is expected and hoped by many yachtsmen that 
other catboats than the two chosen representa¬ 
tives will go around the Cape this year. Entries 
to these races can be made through John O. 
Hall, Secretary of the Quincy Y. C., prior to 
Aug. 6. 
In addition to the Thomas Fleming Day cup 
special, prizes will be given as follows: 
Monday.—First prize, field glasses; second 
prize, ship’s clock. 
Tuesday.—First prize, compass; second prize, 
cabin lamp. 
Wednesday.—First prize, thermos set; second 
prize, barometer. 
Thursday.—First prize, ship’s log; second 
prize, signal code. 
Friday.—First prize, brass sailing lights; sec¬ 
ond prize, thermos bottle. 
Saturday.—First prize, ship’s clock; second 
prize, anchor light. 
A championship pennant will be awarded to 
the boat making the best individual record for 
the series. 
The general rules applying to the races admit 
boats 28 feet over-all if built prior to 1910 and 
require that they do not exceed 27 feet over¬ 
all if built since 1910. No prize will be awarded 
to a boat which does not defeat a competitor. 
Measurements will be over-all, with an allow¬ 
ance of seven seconds per foot per mile. Pilots 
will be furnished to all visiting boats desiring 
them. Captains must apply to the regatta com¬ 
mittee for the services of these. 
The courtesies of the club and dormitories 
and restaurant will be extended to racing visi¬ 
tors free, and to others for $1 per day. 
There will be special races for catboats sailed 
by boys. 
The races under the auspices of the Boston 
Y. C. at Hull the following week will be on 
the mornings and afternoons at 10:30 and 2:30 
of Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 and 2, under the same 
rules for catboats not to exceed 30 feet over¬ 
all and not less than 22 feet. 
The prizes for these will be a Chelsea ship's 
bell clock in bronze, gold stop watches for first, 
second and thirds in winning highest percent¬ 
ages, which will be presented by the commodore 
and rear-commodore. Cash prizes of $15, $12 
and $10 will also be given for firsts, seconds and 
thirds. Entries can be made with T. W. Powers, 
5 Rowe’s wharf, Boston. The competition, is 
open to the entire Atlantic coast. The board 
of judges will include the regatta committee 
representing the Cape Catboat Association of 
Massachusetts.

Foraminifer won the Van Rennsalaer me¬ 
morial cup in the regatta of the Sippican Y. C.,

zard's Bay were represented in this race and 
the contest was a very close one. The wind 
was east and a course of eleven miles in length 
was selected. Selmonk, a new boat, owned by 
L. J. Knowles, was second, and the fight be¬ 
tween these two was a hot one all the time.
