Edgewood Y. C. 
A FRESH southwest wind and clear skies 
made racing conditions almost ideal for the 
opening regatta of the Edgewood Y. C. 
Walter P. Wood's Dorothy took her third 
straight victory. 
Haffenreffer's speed boat, Meteor, attracted 
considerable attention. This boat went over the 
i3'/i nautical miles through the heavy swell be¬ 
low Conimicut and back over the tops of the 
waves in 49111. 32s. 
E. L. Arnold, the only member of the Edge- 
wood regatta committee, who put in an appear¬ 
ance, had his troubles keeping things going ac¬ 
cording to schedule. He found that nether 
Wanderer VI. nor Hugi had been officially meas¬ 
ured for the season, and that there were one or 
two others who had neglected this formality. 
They were not disqualified, however, as no pro¬ 
test was made, and he was inclined to be lenient 
in view of the extremely bad weather, which has 
caused delay in putting boats into commission. 
It was announced though that the rule will be 
rigidly enforced at next Saturday’s regatta at 
the Rhode Island Y. C. The summary;

Atlantic Y. C. 
Hendon Chubb’s class Q Spider won the 
first race to score in the Gravesend Bay cham¬ 
pionship. Six boats started and had a splendid 
race in a wholesail breeze. 
The course gave the boats a run, with spin¬ 
nakers to starboard, from the starting line off 
Sea Gate to a mark off Bensonhurst. Here 
booms were jibed and a long reach on the port 
tack followed to Fort Hamilton. Suelew had 
the better of the start and was leading when 
the boats went on the wind at Fort Hamilton 
for a stiff beat down the channel to Ambrose 
Channel Buoy No. 24. 
Suelew and Spider had a splendid beat to 
the weather mark. Midway down the channel 
Suelew fouled Spider, and Captain Luckenbach 
withdrew his craft. The withdrawal of Suelew 
left Spider at the head of the division and she 
led at every other mark. The summary;

Columbia Y. C. 
Twenty-nine boats started at the Columbia 
Y. C.’s opening motor boat regatta last Saturday 
in which Bunk HI., Gunfire, Jr., Tiny Tad, Kit- 
six and Question were winners in their classes. 
Conditions w'ere as nearly perfect for the 
participants in the races and the spectators as 
could be. The Race Committee, consistfiig of 
James R. Torrance, John McKinlay Wight, 
Charles F. IMuller and Frederic N. Collins, han¬ 
dled all events successfidly. 
The high speed boats were divided into two 
classes, one for displacement craft and one for 
hydroplanes, both of which were sent over a 
30-mile trip to Ardsley and return, while the 
semi-speed lioats went three times over a five 
"mile triangular course and the slower open boats 
and cruisers made two rounds of the triangle. 
The preparatory signal was set at ten minutes 
past 2 o’clock and six of the open boats went 
over the line with Gray Hare in the lead. 
Gunfire, Jr., Vita and Edith H. started at 
half-past two, with Gunfire, Jr., having the better 
of Vita and Edith IL, well in the rear, while 
at twenty-five minutes to three the two hydro¬ 
planes, Tiny Tad and Skid started. 
In the cruiser class eleven boats, well 
bunched, made for the line at 2;55, and after 
they had all gone, Kitsix rounded the mark 
boat. 
Si.x of the semi-speed boats, with Rookie 
in the lead, were the last to get under way. _ 
First of the boats to return was Skid, with 
R. P. Breese and H. G. Chapman as crew. As 
Skid came racing down the river, planing beau¬ 
tifully, it was thought she had broken the record, 
but later she was disqualified for turning the 
wrong mark, giving the race to H. Z. Pratt’s 
Tiny Tad, which made the thirty miles in ih. 
30m. 27 l 4 s. elapsed time. 
Sispud was disqualified for passing the 
wrong side of the stake boat off the starting 
line, and Mrs. Paula H. Blackton’s little Vita, 
which was well inside of her handicap time, was 
stopped within a few feet of the finish line to 
avoid running into a passing boat, and before 
her motor could be started she drifted over 
the finish line and was disqualified, while Gun¬ 
fire, Jr., whose motors were running as srnooth- 
ly as clock work, crossed the finish line at 
3:45;5iF 2 and won. 
Among the yachts at anchor off the club 
were Idylease HI., Natchez IL, Watawaga, 
Paula IF, Cynthia HI., Ethel May, Amrita, 
Achelous and Peter Pan, Sr., all power craft. 
The summary;
