Atlantic City Races. 
Although the majority of the larger boats 
have not as yet put in their appearance for the 
summer, ideal weather on Decoration Day turned 
out a goodly number of spectators for the small 
boat races at Atlantic City, especially at the 
Inlet, where interested crowds followed the races 
from the piers and boat houses, while a consort 
of the eager boats and launches hovered about 
the contestants. 
The sneak box race of boats from the Atlantic 
Sneak Box Club was the most exciting ever 
sailed in the inlet waters. 
The most interesting part of the race was that 
Joe Gale, William Conover and Harry Goulker 
had the fast boats, but failed to go around the 
course right and were ruled out. 
There was a large crowd watching the race 
from the Inlet pavilion bulkhead and boardwalk. 
The boats in the race and times are as follows :

The Seaside Y. C. held a race for mosquito 
boats to and around the buoy off Doyles Island, 
which is three miles around, making a six mile 
course. 
Captain Andrews in the speedy Lettie cap¬ 
tured first honors covering the six mile course 
in ill. 46m. A launch race was also run over 
the same course and was won by Florence, Cap¬ 
tain Taylor, which covered the six miles in 47m.

The two interesting classes on Gravesend Bay 
this year are the Q and the Lipton cup classes; 
It is in both events a contest of two designers, 
Mr. Henry Gielow and Mr. C. D. Mower, with 
another candidate to come later from the board 
of designer Morgan Barney. Soya, owned by 
Mr. W. A. Barstow, and Spider, owned by Mr. 
H. Chubb, are last year’s boats by' Gielow. A 
new one yet to be heard from is Vingt-Trois 
(.23 in French), which though ready has not 
raced owing to the illness of her owner, Mr. 
R. S. Brown. 
Designer Sherman Hoyt has a new boat built 
for himself for this class called Capsicum. The 
Mower boats are Joy, owned by Mr. W. H. 
Childs, and More Trouble, owned' by Mr. R. S. 
Childs. All four have been put in the best of 
shape for this season, as there is a rich plum 
offered later in the year in the shape of the 
King Edward cup at Jamestown. 
Wm. Gardner also has a dark hor.se in this 
class in Dorothy, built for a Baltimore syndicate, 
but she is religiously kept away from all others 
in her tuning up trials, so no one can get a line 
on her speed. The Lipton class consists of two 
Gielow boats, Gunda, owned by Mr. C. Lembka, 
and Blue Bell, Mr. D. D. Allerton, and the two 
Mower boats, M and F, owned by the Marine & 
Field Club, and Bensonhurst, owned by a syn¬ 
dicate from that club. 
So far it is an even toss between M and F 
and Gunda, as Bensonhurst has not yet raced. 
Boston also has a fine assortment of Class Q 
boats, and it will be interesting to see which 
town develops the best boat and best sailors 
when they all 'meet at Jamestown in the fall.

The season being so backward has had a 
noticeable effect on the work of .getting the yachts 
overboard. For weeks past it has been almost 
impossible to get paint dry, and when a fair day 
does come like a momentary pause in the damp 
raing weather, work is rushed to the full capacity 
of the vards.

Designer C. D. Mower has taken up flat life 
again in his houseboat .Hostess at her old moor¬ 
ings in Manhasset Bay.
