Narragansett Bay Winners. 
Secretary W. Louis Frost, of the Yacht 
Racing Association of Narragansett Bay, has 
announced the winners of the championship 
series in the classes sailed this season. Last 
year's winners. Iseulo and Mblem, are again at 
the head of their respective divisions. In the 
knockabout class the rivalry was very keen be¬ 
tween the new boats, Wanderer VI. and 
Dorothy. Wanderer VI. is the winner and 
Dorothy was just beaten for second place by 
Answer. The following table shows the records 
of the fifty yachts competing in eight classes.

Championship awarded to Wanderer VI. 
*This indicates that it is assumed that a yacht shall 
have started in at least two-thirds as many races as the 
yacht having the largest nnmber of starts in her class, 
in accordance with Rule XIX., Section 6 . 
The 1911 race week plaques offered by the 
Narragansett Bay Yacht Racing Association to 
the yacht in each class making the best showing 
were won by Iseulo, Gilt Edge and Answer. No 
yacht in any of the other classes started in five 
races, as required. 
The standing of the yachts for the race week 
trophies was as follows:

Inter Club Pennant Winners. 
Yachtsmen gathered in the club house of the 
South Boston Y. C. on Sept. 9 to hear the win¬ 
ners of pennants in the series races of the Inter- 
Club Yacht Racing Association, and to receive 
the prizes. Early in the season Lieut.-Gov. 
Frothingham offered a trophy for the yachts of 
Class A, and this was won by Nutmeg, owned 
by Allen C. Jones, of the Winthrop Y. C. 
Lieut.-Gov. Frothingham, in presenting the cup, 
spoke highly of the splendid sport of yachting 
and the constant growing interest in it through¬ 
out New England. 
President Harland briefly review the season 
and then announced the points scored in the 
different classes. This is as follows:

In Class B, the Winona and Barracouta tie for 
first place is not settled yet. A protest against 
Winona was allowed, and then Winona appealed 
and the matter is to be taken to the executive 
Committee. Barracouta also claimed that it was 
not given the correct time in one of the races- 
with the Corinthians and this has yet to be 
settled. 
Fife Yards’ 600th Yacht. 
“Marathea, the graceful 8 which the Messrs. 
Fife turned out for Prince Philipp von Sachsen 
Coburg just prior to the international re¬ 
gatta, was the six hundredth boat designed by 
them since the founding of their yard at Fairlie, 
now considerably over ioo years ago,” says the 
Yachtsman. “In recent years a fair number of 
the boats designed at Fairlie have been built in 
the south of England, on the continent of 
Europe, in Africa, Australia and India; while 
one bit of designing of the second William Fife 
was wrought into the famous big racing yawl 
Latona, at Cowes by Messrs. White.. It is 
safe to say, however, that 90 per cent, were 
built as well as designed at Fairlie. 
“Strangely enough, the first Fairlie boat which 
stands out with any distinctness was not a yacht 
at all but a river steamer. This boat. Industry by 
name, was the seventh steamer to have been 
built on the Clyde, and so well did the first 
William Fife build her (with oak grown in his 
native Ayshire) that she held together till the 
proud, the pathetically proud, distinction was 
hers of being the oldest steamer in the world. 
This old William Fife had among his friends a 
few men of rare insight. They saw not only how 
well he hal built Industry, but they divined even 
then (ninety-seven years ago) what a great and 
wonderful part the steamer was to play in the 
economy of the Clyde, and they urged him to 
devote himself to the building of steamers 
rather than yachts. Further, they offered to 
provide him with the use of money on easy 
terms to develop his business—according to 
their ideas. 
“It has often been said that the present head 
of the Fairlie yard is an artist expressing him¬ 
self through the beautiful lines of his boats. 
Well, his grandfather had the artist’s soul as 
well as eye, and he would dedicate his yard to
