Knickerbocker Y. C. Regatta. 
The yacht racing .season was practically open¬ 
ed on the Sound on Saturday, May 29, with the 
regatta of the Knickerbocker Y. C., which was 
the first open regatta of the year. The yachts 
were started from a line off Execution Light 
and sailed short courses from ten to six miles, 
the small one-design boats taking the shorter 
courses. The wind was fresh from the north. 
Commodore J. B. Palmer’s Duchess won the 
race for yachts owned in the club. Four started 
in the class for 30-footers and this race went 
to A. H. and J. W. Alker’s Alera, with George 
C. Meyer’s Atair second. 
Two Sonder boats started, R. L. Agassiz’s Wag 
and F. M. Ployt’s Skeezix. These two are from 
Gardner designs. They sailed a very close race 
and Wag won by 10 seconds. In the race for 
Manhasset one-design boats Manhaska was the 
winner with Althea second. The summary fol¬

Indian Harbor Syndicate. 
The syndicate of the Indian Harbor which is 
building the 31-footers for the defense of the 
Manhasset Bay challenge cup, was organized by 
Rear Commodore H. Wilmer Hanan who is very 
much interested in the coming race. With him 
are associated Commodore Roy L. Rainey, ex- 
Commodore Morton F. Plant and Commodore 
Arthur Curtiss James. This new yacht is being 
built by Woods, at City Island, from designs 
by William Gardner. The cup was won last 
year by Seneca, owned by H. Wilmer and Addi¬ 
son G. Hanan, of the Indian Harbor Club. That 
yacht has gone back to Rochester and so the 
new yacht was ordered when the American Y. C. 
challenged. 
Adventuress Tried. 
The 46-foot sloop Adventuress, built by 
Ilerreshoff, for Chester C. Rumrill, of Spring- 
field, was tried last week on Narragansett Bay. 
Capt. Nat Herreshoff had the tiller. The yacht 
sailed well under the condition and seemed to 
be quite stiff. She was turned over to her owner 
last Monday and will be tuned up at once for 
racing. She will probably make her first appear¬ 
ance in the regatta of the New York Y. C. for 
the spring cups on June 17 off Glen Cove.
