FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 8, 1907. . 
One Yacht Finished in Harlem Regatta. 
From a hard puffy north by west breeze in the 
morning the wind dwindled to a light breeze 
from the northeast when the twenty-two yachts 
started from Belden's Point, City Island, on May 
30 in the annual regatta of the Harlem Y. C. 
Seven classes filled, but owing *to the extremely 
light winds that prevailed only one yacht was 
able to finish in the time limit of five hours. 
J. A. Mahlsted’s 18ft. sloop Okee, that won 
the Block Island race last year, furnished the 
surprise of the day, for she found wind enough 
to finish more than an houf ahead to her nearest 
competitor in the class, Mr. Goldschmidt s Ham¬ 
burg. She sailed the nine mile course to Old 
Hen buoy, Delancey Point buoy and thence to 
the finish in 3h. 44m. 50s. 
G. P. Granberry’s sloop Tanya outsailed 
Thelema in the first division of the handicap 
class as well as Bedouin and Sagola in the 
larger Class N. They covered a course of fif¬ 
teen miles, having a mark boat two miles east 
of Old Hen buoy and Delancey Point buoy as 
their outer marks. Tanya and Thelema, with 
the N class sloops, Vagabond, Bedouin and the 
yawl Sagola, made a fine start at 1:10, close 
hauled on the port tack. R. Webber, Jr.’s, Dolly, 
J. F. Proctor’s Kathryn and F. D. Newton s 
Widgeon, of the P class, got away almost on 
even terms, and so did the three Larchmont 21- 
footers Adelaide, Dorothy and Houri and the 
little B class. 
The regatta, committee, on board Mr. J. Par¬ 
ley’s power boat Mohave, Messrs. T. B. Bates, 
F. I. Fitch and P. I. Fox, sent the second divis¬ 
ion of the handicap class and the Q class, boats 
together. They were Monsoon, Rascal, Mile. 
Modiste, Grace II., Wahneta, Mopsa and 
Kenosha. They crossed the line in that order. 
The other starters were Hamburg, Tammany and 
Okee. Tanya was first around the easterly mark 
at 2:40, Bedouin at 2:47:30, and Grace II. at 
2 :52 :30. 
The second mark, Delancey Point buoy, was 
rounded by Tanya at 3:41:00, Bedouin 3:48:10, 
Sagola 4:00:00. Tanya-had such a safe lead she 
did not set her spinnaker till half way home and 
then it fell a flat calm and she did not finish 
until four minutes after the five hour limit. 
Knickerbocker Y. C. Regatta. 
It was blowing some when the starting gun, 
fired from the judge’s tug Nonpareil, sent Gar¬ 
denia, the only entry in the 40ft. class, at the 
Knickerbocker Y. C. regatta, on June 1, across 
the line, and it kept coming harder if anything 
from the southeast, all during the race, so the 
sound was covered with whitecaps. 
Five' of the New York thirties were there, 
sailing a four-sided course, while all other 
classes, except Bugs, went around a triangle 
from starting line to Scotch Caps Bell and then 
an end on beat to windward across the Sound 
to the spar buoy off Week’s Point in Hempstead 
Harbor and a run home. 
Adelaide, Mr. S. A. and P. H. Adee, did the 
rest of the thirties up in good shape, winning 
AILS A CRAIG, THE CARY SMITH & FERRIS OCEAN RACER. 
by nearly four minutes. Mr. A. B. Alley, a 
veteran in these waters, in the raceabout Pretty 
Quick, earned a right to her suggestive name by 
beating Rascal III., the_ next boat, nearly two 
minutes. Tanya, in the first division of the han¬ 
dicap class, carried her .sail like a Gloucester 
mar] and beat Naiad seven minutes in the thrash 
to windward. All had full sail and it was too 
much wind and sea for the smaller boat. 
Thelema, sandwiched in between these two, and 
her owner wore an audible smile as she came 
in ahead of Naiad. Tanya won hands down by 
3m. 35s. corrected time from Ihelema and 4 m - 
3s. from Naiad. 
In the second division Rascal, Mr. J. Dwyer, 
finished first, but by her allowance Kenosha, 
Mr. W. R. Berth, owner, won out with Mon¬ 
soon second. Rascal third, and Mile. Modiste 
fourth, Kenosha II. fifth, and the yawl Grace II. 
last. . r 
Vaquero and Houri in the Larchmont 2itt. 
class -finished two minutes apart, Vaquero win¬ 
ning ; Dorothy withdrew. Okee again put it all 
over’the little cutter Hamburg by. about twelve 
minutes. Ahov and Arizona, in tb 1 Manhassett 
Bay one-design class, made far be ter time over 
the course than the new New r Rochelle boat Mis¬ 
chief, but as she was the only entry in that class 
and had a smil over, it is possible her skipper 
did not drive her. 
The Bue class sailed a short course, Dragon 
Fly winning, Skeeter second, then Big Bug and 
Scarab. The sloop Meudon unfortunately had 
no competitor so sailed over in the 27ft. class.

Such a day demonstrated that Mrs. Thornton 
Smith, who sails on the bug Skeeter with her 
husband in all the races,_ is .a thorough sailor 
woman, for few of the fair sex, and even some 
of the men folks, would j Cist as soon have stayed 
home, as to get the cold washing down they got 
that day.
