Harry Brindle, of the San Francisco Y. C., 
formerly the owner of the yacht Neva, has pur¬ 
chased the Irene and now has tins craft in com¬ 
mission. 
Now that the Universal Rule for the meas¬ 
urement of yachts on San Francisco Bay has 
been generally adopted by the clubs there, there 
is quite a rush being made by yacht owners to 
have their crafts officially measured. About 
twelve of the boats of the Corinthian Y. C. 
have been measured, and the rest will be placed 
in the hands of the official measurer before any 
prominent races come off. 
The Biloxi, La., Y. C., at a meeting during 
the week, decided to hold their annual regatta 
July 15. ft was also decided to make improve¬ 
ments to the club house which was opened on 
June I. One of the novel features in the re¬ 
gatta this year will be a schooner race. The 
Biloxi Club has taken on new life, and it is 
expected the regatta will be the most successful 
of recent years. 
The 65-footers, 31-raters and other yachts 
will start in the annual regatta of the Man- 
hasset Bay Y. C. to-day. 
C. M. Camp has won three races and twice 
defeated Cyric, winner of the Lipton cup last 
season, in his new boat, M. and F. II. 
An item of importance to motor boat own¬ 
ers is that they must carry two copies of the 
regulations and two copies of the pilot rules. 
These may be obtained from the Steamboat In¬ 
spector’s office in the Custom House. The laws 
will be strictly enforced this year. 
Very comfortable repairs have been made 
to the club house of the Lake Champlain Y. C. 
at Burlington, Vt., since the fire last July. The 
club is now in full commission and all visiting 
yachtsmen are invited to make this port. The 
annual regatta will be held Tuesday, Aug. 6, 
the program of which is now being arranged by 
the regatta committee. Good prizes will be 
offered and the races will be open to all comers. 
Knickerbocker Y. C. 
Fifty starters took part in the Knicker¬ 
bocker Y. C.’s annual regatta on Long Island 
Sound on June i. J. P. Morgan’s Jr.’s Phryne 
won her first victory of the season in that class, 
while W. Butler Duncan, Jr.’s new class S 
schooner, Vandalia, won from two others of 
her class. 
Piute, of the Knickerbocker special class, 
won from the Bonnie Kate, although she started 
twenty-two minutes late. Other winners were 
Lewanna, More Joy, Mile. Boss, Cliphora, 
Alert, Red Wing, Amanita IV., Ada, Little 
Dipper, Hornet, Tautog and Go Go. 
The closest race of the day was between 
the two handicap class, ■ second division sloops. 
Red Wing and Amada, which covered a ten- 
mile course. The former won by one second on 
corrected time. 
The fifty starters were divided among 
seventeen classes, and the Regatta Committee, 
consisting of Messrs. O. H. Chellborg, Harry 
Stephenson, Louis Sands and J. O. Sinkinson, 
had no difficulty in getting all of them away 
without a hitch. 
The starting and finishing line was between 
the committee boat and the black and red buoy 
to the northward and eastward of Execution 
Light and the warning signal was given at 1:50 
P. M.. and the preparatory signal at 1:55. 
Shortly before the signal was given for 
class Q the American Y. C. raceabouts and the 
Manhasset Bay class, at 2:30, two of th.e small 
schooners, Alicia and Moira, which had been 
towed out from Manhasset Bay, arrived, and 
with Vandalia, this new class got away. 
W. Butler Duncan, Jr., jockeyed Vandalia 
into the best position and went over in the lead 
of Moira and Alicia and held the lead all the 
way to the finish. 
George A. Corry's Star class boat. Little 
Dipper, and George W. Kear’s class R Arizona, 
not having classmates, agreed to sail a match 
race. Little Dipper adding another to her long 
string of victories. 
On the second leg of their respective 
courses the boats had a broad reach of it. the 
larger ones making for the Week’s Point buoy 
and the remainder for the Scotch caps buoy, 
with the wind holding true from the west- 
southwest. 
Then came the windward work, in which the 
earlier boats to finish, the N. Y. Y. C. thirties, 
made well in along the Long Island shore and 
were able to lay their courses for the finish line, 
but the strong ebb tide, combined with the con¬ 
stantly diminishing breeze, caused later ones to 
make several legs before thej' completed their 
day’s work. The summary:

sailed on Decoration Day on Gravesend Bay 
was spoiled by bad weather. Only eight boats 
crossed the starting line. The committee, Peter 
Bentley, Daniel Toffy and H. D. Scribner, Sec-; 
retary of the A'acht Racing -Association of

round, and at that time Suelew was leading Joy 
by im. 59s. The little boats rode out the blow, 
and in the X class. R. E. Dingman’s Mouse, 
sailed by R. B. Moore, was the winner by 2m. 
over Skylark, which belongs to M. Howard.

Lloyd’s Regatta. 
The annual ‘‘unique” of the Lloyd’s Harbor 
Y. C., which was a race from New Rochelle to 
Lloyd’s Harbor, starting at midnight, was won 
this year by the schooner yacht Zurah, owned 
by Henry Doscher. This ship, although the 
largest of the fleet, made considerable time 
allowances to the other entrants. In mid- 
Sound a motor boat, without running lights, ran 
into Lady M., but caused only delay and a little 
damage. The summary:
