Soath Boston Y. C. 
The racing season opened in eastern waters 
with the regatta of the South Boston Y. C., 
sailed on Memorial Day. Seventy-two yachts 
started, and aided by a brisk wind from the 
north, made fast time. Chief interest centered 
in the two new 31-footers, Wianna and 
Timandra, built from designs by George Owen, 
and Dorchen II., Albert W. Finlay’s new 18- 
footer, which is to try and win the Sumner H. 
Foster cup from the Lakewood Y. C., of Cleve¬ 
land. Dorchen I., although beaten by Aurora, 
sailed a good race, and with a little more tun¬ 
ing up, will be a hard boat to beat. She made 
a poor start, and at the end was only 48 seconds 
astern of Aurora. 
Three started in the 31-foot class, A. W. 
Stevens’ Wianno, J. D. Falton’s Timandra and 
George Lee’s Marie L. George Owen, her 
designer sailed Wianno until that yacht had a 
safe lead. The two new ones held well to¬ 
gether before the wind on the first leg, but on 
the wind Wianno went to the front and did not 
lose any reaching home. Marie L.’s reaching 
and running was just a.s fast as the two new 
craft, but was not their match turning to wind¬ 
ward. The elapsed times:

Eastern Yachting. 
The first race in which the Sender boats will 
take part will be sailed to-day, and from now 
on there will be races of some sort for these 
boats nearly every day. 
During the week all but five of the new boats' 
have been anchored in Marblehead Harbor. The 
absentees were W. PI. Childs’ Joyette, a Mower 
boat; Charles Francis Adams, 2d’s boat build¬ 
ing at Lawley’s, from Boardman designs; the 
Burgess boat, owned by Caleb Loring; Bessie, 
a Mower boat, owned by George C. Thomas, 
and the Chicago boat. Of the latter nothing has 
been heard since the announcement was made 
that Chicago would be represented in the trials. 
The boat for Caleb Loring has been ready for 
launching for two months and may be put over¬ 
board in time for the first race. Bessie is to 
race on Buzzard’s Bay and will go to Marble¬ 
head later. 
The boat for Charles Francis Adams, 2d, was 
launched last week to check her waferline length, 
and it was found that she had about two feet 
to spare. Her lines are drawn out very far for¬ 
ward, giving her a lon.g fine entrance, while her 
stern is cut off short. This boat was first painted 
white, underbody and topsides, but now X)n the 
port side the keel and deadwood is painted green 
and on the starboard side the deadwood is paint¬ 
ed bronze. This is done to experiment, and the 
action of the water on the three paints will be 
watched carefully. 
Alarm, Max Agassiz’s Herreshoff boat, arrived 
at Marblehead from Newport last week and 
Wag, R. L. Agassiz, and Skeezix, F. M. Hoyt, 
both Gardiner boats, arrived later. The other 
new ones in the harbor are: Demon, Frank B. 
Crowninshield; Eel, Herbert M. Sears; Lady, 
Boardman & Foss; Manchester IIP, Manchester 
Y. C. syndicate, and Spokane IIP, Vice-Commo¬ 
dore F. Lewis Clark, all from designs by E. A. 
Boardman; Sally X., Lawrence F. Percival, de¬ 
signed by B. B. Crowninshield. 
In addition to these there are: Vim and 
Caramba, 1906 boats; Maria, a 1907 boat, and 
Bandit, a 1908 boat. Vim and Maria are to be 
raced on Buzzard’s Bay. 
With the exception of Alarm the 1909 crop 
of Sender boats are out and out scows. Alarm 
very much resembles Skidoo built in 1906. She 
is quite fine forward and has a bow that quirks 
up in the air in a way different from any other 
boat. The others have long overhangs with 
very low ends and much finer lines than the 
1906 boats. 
George L. Batchelder’s ,38-rater Dorello has 
been launched from Fraser’s yard,' at Marble¬ 
head. She will spread more sail this season, 
having had a new topmast three feet longer than 
the older one and a longer gaff., This will give 
her about sixty square feet more canvas. She 
is to go to New York and race against Odysseus 
IL, built for John H. Hammond, from designs 
by PI. J. Gielow. 
In the Boston Y. C. regatta last Saturday the 
new 31-raters Wianno and Timandra met again. 
The race was sailed in half a gale from the 
east-southeast. Timandra carried wholesail while 
Wianno had in a balance reef and this slight 
reduction of sail seemed to help her very much. 
Timandra got the better of the start by about 
half a minute, but as soon as they hauled on the 
wind, Wianno caught and passed her and finally 
won her second race with two minutes to spare. 
Dorchen IP and Aurora made a fine race in 
the 18-foot class. Aurora led until the last leg 
of the course, when Dorchen passed her and 
won by sixteen seconds. 
In the race for Cape catboats at Quincy, Iris, 
owned by F. F. Crane, was the winner by one 
minute and fourteen seconds. Almira was sec¬ 
ond and Emeline third. Five started. 
Se 2 cwhanaka 15>Footers. 
The first race of the series for the Seawan- 
haka Corinthian Y. C. 15-footers was sailed 
last Saturday off the club house at Oyster Bay. 
The wind was fresh from east, shifting to north¬ 
east, and the sloops got over the course in fast 
time. Hen, owned by George Nichols, was 
the winner, with Sabrina, owned by H. W. 
Warner, second. The summary: 
Seawanhaka. 15-footers — Start, 3:20. 
Hen . 5 04 05 Thelema . 5 11 15 
Sabrina . 5 07 15 Cicada . 5 14 10 
Iris . 5 08 20 Water Baby . 5 14 56 
31-Footer Launched. 
The 31-footer, built by Herreshoff for a syn¬ 
dicate of American Y. C. members, has been 
launched. She will be sent to the Sound as* 
soon as she has been tried. This boat is the 
challenger for the Manhasset Bay challenge cup 
held by the Indian Harbor Y. C. 
Southern Y. C. 
New Orleans, May 29. — The sixth annual 
regatta of the Southern Y. C. was held Satur- 
ray. May 29, at West End in Lake Pontchartrain. 
The following is a list of the winners:

IIP, owned and sailed by Commodore Alfred 
Landy.

Cadillac Sold. 
The fast cabin sloop Cadillac, owned by Com¬ 
modore Samuel F. Weaslip, has been sold to 
E. N. W. Davies, who will eventually take the 
craft to England. Cadillac will take part in the 
annual regatta of the Southern Y. C., of New 
Orleans, and the Southern Gulf Coast Yacht¬ 
ing Association this year, but this will be her 
last time in waters of this country. Cadillac 
will sail under the flag of the Royal Y. C., of 
England, and take part in the regattas off the 
coast of the Isle of Wight. The amount Mr. 
Davies paid for Cadillac has not been made 
public, but it is thought to be considerable. 
She is the fastest sailing craft in the Southern 
waters, and her last appearance in the regattas 
this summer will be watched with a great deal 
of interest by thousands. It is understood that 
Cadillac will be overhauled when she goes to 
England. Mr. Davies’ home is in Liverpool, 
but he is interested in business in New Orleans 
and frequently spends several months in each 
winter here. 
Brenton’s Reef Race. 
The first of the Brenton’s Reef races of the 
Rhode Island Y. C. was sailed last Saturday. 
The weather was variable, the wind coming 
northeast, light at the start and increasing until 
it blew half a gale. Outside there was a heavy 
sea running. Seven yachts started and four 
finished. The race was won by Medric IL, 
owned by W. Louis Frost. May Queen, owned 
by J. C. McCoy, was second, 3m. 46s. astern on 
corrected time. FTugi, owned by Proctor Fearey, 
was third, 2m. 46s. behind the second boat, and 
Brownie was fourth. Alice W. was not timed 
and Satsu and Tema were disabled. A sea 
boarded Satsu and carried away her forward 
hatch so that she had to retire, and Tema parted 
a port shroud. The race was one that will long 
be remembered by those who took part in it. 
May Queen finished first, but was beaten by time 
allowance. 
Beverly Y. C. Race. 
The first race for the Albert Vittum cup, for 
power boats, was held on May 30 by the Jubilee 
Y. C. It was won by Tony Boy, owned by 
A. Sliva, by ns.; Elsie, C. R. Prichard was 
second, and Igo, E. Pickett, third. The others 
finished in this order: Cygnet, G. FI. Faulkner; 
Ruth A., J. A. Doyle; Trifle, T. O. Gilliatt; 
Red Wing, R. A. Tibletts; Louis, W. H. Dem- 
ing; Into, Shorts & Merrill; Concha, F. L. 
Roberts: Doric IL, J. J. Brotchie, and Lorie, 
W. A. Meble. The last three named were dis¬ 
qualified for exceeding the time limit.
