Fisher Cup Races. 
The series of races between Seneca, of the 
Rochester Y. G, and Patricia, of the Royal 
Canadian Y. C., were sailed off Toronto on Sept. 
2 and following days. Patricia won, but Seneca 
won the second race and almost won the first. 
Seneca did well in light airs and rough seas, but 
in steady to fresh winds and smooth seas 
Patricia was the better boat. 
The first course was triangular, twenty miles, 
but the wind was so light that the yachts con d 
not finish within the time limit of five hours. 
Seneca was handled by Eric Moore and Patric'a 
by Norman R. Gooderham and a crew of ama¬ 
teurs. A thunder squall killed the wind just be¬ 
fore the starting time, but later the wdnd came 
light from southwest and the yachts were started 
on a windward leg, but the wind hauled and the 
yachts were able to lay their courses. Seneca 
took a lead on this leg. On the second leg, a 
close reach, Patricia closed up somewhat. Run¬ 
ning home, Patricia took the lead and turned 
the home mark with a lead of forty-eight sec¬ 
onds. Seneca reached by Patricia at the begin¬ 
ning of the second round, but the wind was 
very light. Seneca held her lead and was first 
at the second mark after a windward leg. Then 
the wind freshened and Patricia gained, but she 
could not catch Seneca and the time limit ex¬ 
pired six minutes before Seneca reached the 
line with a lead of 40s. 
In the second attcmnt on Sent. 4 there was a 
nice sailing breeze, and it freshened as the race 
progressed. Patricia got the better of the start. 
She gained rm. 27s. on the windward teg. wh : ch 
she increased to im. ,33s. at the end of the first 
round. On the windward leg the second time 
Patricia increased her lead to 4m. 3s. and she 
finally won the race by 3m. 15s. 
The second race was over a windward and 
leeward course twenty miles, five miles to each 
leg. The wind was light, but there was rough 
sea and Patricia did not do well. Patricia had 
the weather position, but Seneca soon worked 
clear of her rival and drew away from the 
Canadian boat. At the windward mark Seneca 
had a lead of Tin. 59s. Running home Seneca 
increased this lead to 2m. 35s. On the next 
windward leg the wind freshened and Patricia 
did better, but she was only able to hold Seneca 
Running home Seneca increased her lead and 
won the race by 3m. 20s. 
In the third race the wind was blowing twelve 
to fifteen miles an hour and the sea was smooth. 
The course was triangular, with the third leg 
windward work. Patricia took a lead at the 
start and was 9s. in front of Seneca at the first 
mark. This she increased to a minute on the 
second leg. and she continued to gain on the 
windward leg. At the end of the first round 
Patricia led by im. 21s. She increased this lead 
on each leg of the second round and finally won 
the race by 3m. 41s. The Fisher cup conse¬ 
quently remains in Canada for another season. 
Beverly Y. C. 
The Reverly Y. C. sailed its 466th regatta off 
its club house on Saturday, Sept. 2. and its 467th 
regatta on Monday, Sept. 4, from the same place. 
On Saturday there was a strong breeze from 
the southwest that must have averaged about 
twenty knots an hour. The 21-footers were sent 
to Bow Bells and back. On the first part of the 
way to windward the two new Herreshoff boats 
Saracen and Foraminifer had a close race with 
the Commodore’s Scaliop. Before the boats had 
reached the Marion shore, Commodore began to 
gain rapidly and established a considerable ! ead 
at the windward mark. Saracen was second at 
the turn with Foraminifer a short distance be¬ 
hind, and the old Barnacle fourth, being a length 
ahead of Selwonk. Mr. Winsor in Saracen had 
trouble with the spinnaker and was passed short¬ 
ly after the turn by Foraminifer, who held her 
lead, finishing second, something over 3m. be¬ 
hind Scallop. Saracen was third, being only 13s. 
behind Foraminifer. Selwonk passed Barnac'e 
on the run home without shaking her reefs in 
spite of the fact that Barnacle shook to whole 
sail. 
The Sonderk’asse boats were sent first to Bow 
Bells, and then across the bay to Scraggy Neck 
Buoy No. 8. Seacoon was first, beating Sally 
VIII. by a minute and a half. Mr. Davis’ Helen 
took third place. 
The 15-footers were sent to Bird Island and 
back. John Parkinson entered his Uarda for 
the first time for many months, and took first 
place with her, beating Pronto, which was sailed 
by a lady, by im. 28s. Mr. Hobbs’ Rebekah was 
third. 
In this race there was a special class for 
auxiliary catboats, which sailed and worked their 
engines at the same time. The race proved sur- 
prising'y close. Mr. Perry’s Seavey won by 22s. 
over Molly, and Mr. Phinney’s Helena was 
third, being less than a minute behind Molly. 
The fourth boat was a considerable distance 
astern. 
The 467th regatta was the annual open race 
of the club. It was sailed in a light southwest¬ 
erly wind, which may have averaged eight knots 
per hour. 
The 21-foot c'ass and the Sonderklasse were 
both sent to Bow Bells and back. In the former 
Robert Winsor, Jr.'s Saracen made her first win 
of the season, beating her rival Foraminifer by 
15s. In the Sonderklasse Mr. Stackpole’s Sea¬ 
coon won, making the course in a little over 7m. 
longer time than the 21-footers. 
The 15-footers were sent to Bird Island and 
back. Mr. Hobbs took first place with Rebekah, 
defeating Alex Winsor’s new Pheasant by a 
little over 2m. 
On Monday, as on the previous Saturday, 
there was a special class for auxiliary cats, and 
this time Helena won, being 7s. ahead of Molly 
and less than a minute ahead of Seavey. The

Yachting on San Francisco Bay. 
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 7.—Editor Forest 
and Stream: The annual regatta of the Pacific 
Coast Yacht Association will be held on Sept. 
16 instead of on Admission Day, as formerly, 
and many entries have already been made. The 
races will be sailed under the universal rule for 
the first time this season. The Macdonough 
trophies will be sailed for and in all there are 
five classes in which entries have been made. 
This association is working very hard for the 
establishment of an aquatic park at the foot of 
Van Ness avenue, and it is believed that this 
will be secured as the property and will be de¬ 
veloped by the Panama-Pacific International Ex¬ 
position for a marine display. G. Dorn, for- 
mer'y treasurer of the association, has resigned 
and his position has been filled by L. C. Knight 
of (lie Hlolian Y. C. 
The annual handicap race of the San Fran¬ 
cisco Y. C. was held Aug. 27 over the regular 
course and was participated in by eleven yachts. 
The schooner Caprice proved a winner, defeat¬ 
ing Challenger by nearly four minutes corrected 
time and Monsoon by two minutes. The breeze
