The Geodetic Bureau has just issued chart 
228, covering Cape Neddick Harbor, and York 
River at York Beach, Me. Cape Neddick will 
be buoyed by the Lighthouse Bureau during 
the present season. The Bay Haven Y. C., of 
York Beach, Me., welcome visiting yachtsmen. 
Official entry blanks for the Cadillaqua 
speed boat races at Detroit, Mich., to be held 
here July 23 and 25 during the Cadillaqua 
carnival, were sent out to-day. Assurances 
have been secured that Kitty Hawk HI., holder 
of the world's racing record for hydroplanes— 
43.20 miles per hour—and John J. Ryan’s Re¬ 
liance will take part in the contests. The feature 
race will be held on July 25, when a 40-mile 
free-for-all contest for the Cadillaqua cham¬ 
pionship will be decided. It is claimed that the 
local motorboat racing course is the fastest in 
the world. 
Plans are completed for the regatta to be 
held by the Cambridge Y. C. on June 28 and 29. 
This promises to be the largest regatta ever 
held in Maryland waters, and its promoters be¬ 
lieve that it will eclipse any regatta of its kind 
ever held in this country. 
Ankle Deep, an eight-cylinder hydroplane 
of the 32-foot variety, has been added to the 
list of nominations for competition in the 
August naval pageant races. _ The_ craft is 
owned by Casimir S. Mankowski, and is entered 
under the colors of the Glens Falls Y. C., of 
New York. It is expected to be an entry in 
the cross-lake race. 
The 21-foot motor boat Gymgirl has left 
Geneva, N. Y., en route for St. Albans, Vt., 
manned by five young ladies, who intend to 
make the trip without any masculine help. The 
owner, captain and engineer of Gymgirl is Miss 
Mabelle M. Ford, of Cleveland, Ohio, instruc¬ 
tor of physical culture in the Young Women’s 
Christian Association. The four girls who are 
her companions are friends from Cleveland and 
vicinity. Their route is from Geneva via the 
Seneca and Cayuga Canal to the Erie Canal, 
thence east through the Erie to the Delaware 
and Hudson Canal, thence north to Lake Cham¬ 
plain, where they follow the west shore to 
Plattsburg and across the lake to destination. 
Gymgirl is powered with a 5-horsepower, single 
cylinder engine, and is equipped with a spray 
hood and extension in case of rough weather 
or rain. 
New York Y. C. 
With excellent weather, brisk wind and a 
goodly entry list, the Sound regatta of the New 
York Y. C. was sailed on June 13. There were 
twenty yachts entered, among them schooners 
Irolita and Elena, in the first race of the season. 
Elena has been fitted with a new boom and 
new sails. She was sailed by Capt. William 
Dennis. Irolita, ex-Queen, was sailed by her 
owner, E. Walter Clark, commodore of the 
Philadelphia Corinthian Y. C. Elena finished 
2m. in the lead, but was beaten on corrected 
time by Irolita. 
In the 6s-foot class Aurora, sailed by Cor¬ 
nelius Vanderbilt, gained the lead, turning to 
windward and held it to the finish, with Istalena 
second and Winsome third. 
Medora, the new Gardner boat, built for 
H. G. S. Noble, showed up well in a race 
against Avenger. Avenger, owned by Harry 
L. Maxwell, rates more than seven feet above 
Medora, so that the new yacht is entitled to an 
allowance of about 6m. over the 18-mile 
course sailed. In reaching, the extra canvas 
and length of Avenger told greatly in her favor. 
but on the wind, the black-hulled Medora out¬ 
pointed and outfooted Avenger, so that on the 
second leg of the triangle she took the lead. 
Then followed two legs of reaching and Aven¬ 
ger was able to gain an advantage which Me¬ 
dora was unable to overcome, but she finished 
near enough to Avenger to win the race on 
corrected time. 
Cara Mia, sailed by Stuyvesant Wain- 
wright, won the race for 31-raters. Nepsi, 
sailed by Johnston de Forest, won the race for 
30-footers. 
The new schooners sailed close together, 
with Vandalia in the lead, closely pushed by 
Helen 11 . On the last leg Moira held to the 
west and carried a better wind and was able 
to outfoot her two black-hulled competitors.

Larchmont Y. C. 
Seventy-four yachts took part in the 
spring regatta of the Larchmont Y. C. last 
Saturday. Irolita again beat Elena. 
Class L sloop. Avenger, was beaten on 
allowance by Medora, which won handily on her 
allowance. 
E. Trowbridge Hall’s Class K sloop. Win¬ 
some, won this event, while Vice-Commodore 
Pynchon’s Istalena was second and Mr. Cor¬ 
nelius Vanderbilt’s Aurora a close third. 
Harold S. Vanderbilt, after the raqe, dis¬ 
covered that his schooner. Vagrant, had 
rounded the wrong easterly mark on one round 
and withdrew her, giving the race to George 
S. Scott’s Miladi. 
Arizona and Avis were disqualified for not 
having their racing numbers properly placed, 
and Mayfly was ruled out because she did not 
respond to a recall after having crossed the line 
in advance of her class signal. 
Many of the finishes in the smaller classes 
were close, but the Regatta Committee, Messrs. 
Boucher, Sperry and Dailey, caught them all.
