OI.D SLOOP YACHT GRACIE. 
Sloop Yacht Gracie. 
One by one the famous old racing yachts are 
disappearing. Strange to say the old timers last 
longer than the modern boats, but while many 
of these have gone into trade, some have been 
broken up and others put to uses different from 
what they were intended. The famous sloop 
yacht Gracie, winner of many a hard fought con¬ 
test and once an aspirant for cup defense honors, 
is anchored off the American Y. C. house at Mil- 
ton Point. She is dismantled and is now only 
a hull 011 which a house has been built. This 
house is divided into small rooms and the boat 
is used as a bathing pavilion for members of the 
club and their families. 
Beechhurst Y. C. 
The yachts belonging to the Sound that raced 
off Sea Gate were to have raced from Sea Gate 
to Beechhurst last Sunday, but the rain put a 
stop to such a contest and the boats were towed 
up. Then they took part in the regatta of the 
Beechhurst Y. C. The prizes were silver cups.

Quincy Y. C. 
The final race for the Thomas Fleming Day 
cup for inter-bay contests between catboats was 
won last Saturday by Mudjekeewis, owned by 
E. W. Emery. This boat represented Massachu¬ 
setts Bay. She won three races of the series, 
but having been disqualified in one race, Clare, 
of Narragansett Bay, scored the highest percent¬ 
age. The race was sailed in a light easterly wind. 
1 he course was a beat to Strawberry Hill and 
a run home to the starting line, twice around. 
The start was made at 11 :20, but the skipper of 
Mudjekeewis, in his eagerness to get a good 
start, had his boat across the line a second or 
two before the gun sounded, and he was called 
back for a new start. 
The boats were fairly well bunched together 
and at the first turn Clara led the fleet, followed 
by Mblem, Iris, Mudjekeewis and Virginia. On 
the run home Mudjekeewis showed a burst of 
speed and was up with Clara at the turn. 
By a clever piece of handling, Shipper Brown, 
of Mudjekeewis, succeeded in blanketing Clara 
and rounded the stakeboat fifteen seconds ahead. 
After that Mudjekeewis opened up the gap a 
little and managed to maintain the lead till the 
end. As the day wore on, the drizzle turned to 
a rain and the conditions were most uncomfort¬ 
able. 
As a result of this race the trophy remains in 
the custody of the Massachusetts Bay Associa¬ 
tion, thanks to the Quincy boats, by a lead of 
thirty points. Had not Mudjekeewis been dis¬ 
qualified in yesterday’s race the lead would have 
been more pronounced. 
There were only two contestants in the boys’ 
race to-day, as Kitten had won the trophy offered 
yesterday and did not need to race any more. 
I11 to-day’s race Alpha defeated Yarita by 37s.

Boston Y. C. 
The first of the midsummer series of races of 
the Boston Y. C. was sailed off the Hull Station 
last Saturday in a wind east-southeast and smooth 
sea. It was rainy and there was fog. Six classes 
entered. The best race of the day was between 
Idol and Gringo of the second rating class. They 
fought all the way up the weather leg and were 
close together all the way round. On the last 
leg Idol held Gringo under her lee and won by
