SEPTEMBER. 
23. Indian Harbor Y. C., championship race. 
Mosquito Fleet Y. C. Race. 
The trophy originally offered by the City of 
Boston for the race to Bermuda was sailed for 
on Labor Day by yachts of the Inter-Club As¬ 
sociation under the auspices of the Mosquito 
Fleet Y. C. There were thirty-seven starters, 
and they sailed over a 30-mile course around 
Boston Lightship. The race was won by Marie 
L., owned by Hollis Burgess, that boat defeat¬ 
ing Arawak on corrected time by one second. 
Mr. Burgess announced that he would make the 
trophy a perpetual challenge one and has turned 
it over to the Quincy Y. C. 
The yachts were started in five classes. A, B 
and C of the Inter-Club and P and I of the Y. 
R. A. For the principal prizes, the cup, and sec¬ 
ond, third and fourth in cash, the boats were 
rated as one class on corrected time. The 
handicap was based on the boats’ regular meas¬ 
urements, the allowance between classes A and 
P being by regular Herreshoff allowance table 
and the others by the regular table plus 15m. 
This worked to perfection, as Marie L. on cor¬ 
rected time won out by one second from the 
catboat Arawak, which raced in class B. The 
times of the first four boats were: Marie L., 
4:18:37; Arawak, 4:18:38; Sintram, 4:28:00; Nut¬ 
meg, 4:31:11. 
The course for the yachts was as follows: 
Starting off the Mosquito Fleet Y. C. to Faun 
Bar bell buoy, then to and around buoy off 
Flip Rock, southerly of Nahant, to and around 
Boston Lightship, to the finish line off the club 
house. The yachts had a nice soft southeasterly 
air, which gave them a reach to Flip Rock, then 
an 8-mile beat to the lightship, and a reach and 
run to the finish. 
Class I, which was sent off at 10:30, had only 
one starter, Moslem II., and when she went 
away there was nice reaching air, which gave her 
a fine getaway. The other classes, that started 
at five-minute intervals after the Bloomfield 
boat, got away in the southeasterly air, which 
made them beat part of the way down the 
harbor. 
As the boats passed Faun Bar bell buoy. 
Moslem had a fine lead, with Sintram in second 
place. At the turn of Flip Rock Marie L. was 
leading boat, with Sintram in second place. The 
next leg, the beat of 8 miles, settled the race. 
In the good breeze and slight sea the deep-keel 
boats showed to an advantage. Marie L. kept 
out ahead; in fact, she gained on all the yachts 
in the race on this leg. Virginia and Nutmeg 
also did exceedingly good work, coming up into 
second .and third places. 
The leaders were timed around the lightship 
as follows: Marie L., 2:07:00; Virginia, 2:13:15; 
Nutmeg, 2:18:15; Onda II., 2:19:20; Novice, 
2:20:15; H. Lindsay, 2:21:30; Flirt, 2:22:15; Ara¬ 
wak, 2:27:00; Sintram, 2:28:30; Moslem II.. 
2:31:30; Mignon IV., 2:32:20; I. O. U., 2:38:00; 
Pirate, 2:23:10; Violet, 2:38:20; 
On the last leg of the race there was quite a 
difference of opinion on the part of many of the 
skippers as to which was the shortest course 
back to Pleasure Bay. Hollis Burgess used 
Hypocrite channel, between Green and Little 
Calf islands, claiming after the finish that that 
was what _won the race. Marie L. was followed 
this way in by H. Lindsey, which finished sec¬ 
ond. The majority of the racers, however, came 
up the old main ship channel. Onda II. and 
Novice, on the other hand, after getting inside 
of Boston light, used the West way, where they 
found a little better breeze, and were enabled to 
improve their positions. 
_.A f t e r Marie L. and H. Lindsay had finished, 
Virginia came along; then Onda II., Arawak, 
Novice, Nutmeg, Flirt and Sintram in order. 
In all, thirty-three yachts took part in the con¬ 
test and 1 hour and 15 minutes after the first 
had finished the last was across the line. The 
closest racing of all was between Violet and 
Thialfi of Class C. After nearly 6 J 4 hours of 
sailing over a 30-mile course, of which 8 miles 
was to windward, only 16 seconds separated the 
two at the finish. 
In addition to the four principal prizes given 
in each class, there was a prize for the boat 
making the best corrected time. The summary:

Italia Wins Lipton Cup. 
The last race of the series for the Lipton cup 
bir 31-raters was . sailed off Marblehead last 
Saturday. 1 he wind was very light and vari¬ 
able and the race was disappointing. Italia took 
the lead at the start closely followed by Amoret, 
but soon afterward she drew away from Amoret 
and finally won easily, as these times will show: 
Itaha 3:48:12; Amoret, 3:52:06; Timandra, 
3:S.T55- 
I he contest for the big prize was very close, 
and to win the cup Italia had to win and Amoret 
had to beat Timandra, and that is just what 
happened. This race makes the standing for the 
prize as follows: 
Italia ..

436.6 
Timandra . 
Amoret . 
Sayonara . 
Wianno . 
4,366 
The racing in this class has been very close 
throughout the season, especially so between 
AjtR).ret and Italia. Much of the fine showing 
of I imandra, a 1909 boat, was due to this fight 
between Itaha and Amoret, for in a number of 
races the skippers of these two racers allowed 
Timandra to slip in while scrapping amomr 
themselves. 
Not only does Italia take the 1911 leg 111 the 
Lipton cup, but also the Y. R. A., Corinthian 
and Boston Y C. championships. 
This is. the third year of the Lipton cup, the 
first leg m 1909 being won by John B. Fallon’s 
I imandra. and last season by C. B. & H. S. 
Wheelock s Amoret. To become the owner of 
the cup the same yachtsman must win the 
trophy three seasons. Each year the Corinthian 
1. C. represents to the winner of the Lipton cup 
a silver trophy. 
Atlantic Y. C. 
The last regatta of the season sailed on 
Gravesend Bay was very disappointing. It was 
under the auspices of the Atlantic Y. C.. The 
wind was so light from north that onlv one class 
was able to make one round of the course. This 
was the Q class, and Alice was the winner. 
Suelew and Soya sailed lapped for half the 
course, and Soya crossed the line just a second 
in the lead and won second place. The times:
