The Ocean Race. 
Quite a few owners have entered their yachts 
for the first of the season’s ocean races, which 
starts off Bensonhurst, on June 5, for Bermuda. 
Two classes are provided for this year, as many 
who would like to make the trip did not care to 
do so in such cramped accommodations as last 
vear’s race compelled, by the size of the boat 
being limited to under 50ft- _ 
So class one this year permits boats from S°ft- 
to 90ft., and Commodore Frank Maier has put 
up a $1,000 cup as the trophy. 
The following vachts are entered m this class: 
Schooner Dervish, Mr. H. A. Morss, owner. 
Schooner Zurali, Mr. Henry Dosher, owner. 
Schooner Andromeda, Mr. E. A. Dixon, owner. 
Schooner Tammany, Mr. W. C. Towen, owner. 
Schooner Priscilla, Messrs. Mason and Nevin, 
owners. 
Schooner Mist, Mr. Harold Bmney, owner. 
Sloop Sayonara, Mr. F. S. La Fond, owner. 
Sloop Zena, D. R. W. Burrows, owner. 
Sloop Isolt, Mr. E. Meyer, owner. 
Class two is for boats 5<?ft-_ and under for a 
prize given by the club. This is the size of boats 
that raced last year for the cup. Only three 
yachts are entered for it: 
Yawl Hyperion, Com. Frank Maier, owner. 
Yawl Lila, Mr. R. D. Floyd, owner. 
Sloop Zenia, D. R. W. Burrows, owner f> 
Hyperion is a new yawl designed by “Larrv 
Huntington to replace Tamerlane which Mr. 
Maier has sold to Daniel Bacon, of New York. 
Lila was one of last year’s contestants that gave 
up due to lack of harmony among her crew 
rather than through any inability on the boat s 
part. And Zena is a Bermudian built craft that 
will soon sail for New York and thereby get her 
crew in good training for the race. 
Whoever wins, there will be great sport, anc 
more deep water dogs will be bred than by anj 
other kind of racing and more tall yarns will b< 
spun a month from now than any sea lawyer 
can keep pace with. 
Canoeing . 
A. C. A. 
The Atlantic Division of the A. C. A. an¬ 
nounce their annual meet will be held at Hermr
