of the Atlantic Y. C., and the bay men were 
treated to a pretty sight watching Effort, Neola 
and Istalena go round Southwest Spit buoy, out 
around Scotland Lightship and back over a 26 
mile course. Light winds prevailed. a ; 
The new Q boat Vingt-Trois, from Gtelows 
designs, had a try out with Soya and Spider.

The races held so far on Long Island Sound 
have been typical of that sheet of water in every 
way. It blows northwest in the morning, up 
and down the mast at noon, and southwest in 
the afternoon. 
Larchmont day, June 15, well illustrated these 
conditions. Close under the shore off Milton 
Point and Mamaroneck the water was black with 
a fresh northwest breeze, sending the lead¬ 
ing small boats romping for Scotch Caps buoy 
scuppers-to. This breeze ended in a strongly 
defined line and another yacht not 300 yards out 
was standing toward the buoy with spinnaker 
set with wind southwest. In the middle of the 
Sound it was generally calm though there were 
patches of wind in spots, the dories standing 
out close hauled with an easterly breeze. From 
over in Hempstead Harbor a long string of race- 
abouts and 57-footers came back toward Larch¬ 
mont with spinnakers and ballooners, only to 
run slap into a head wind a couple of lengths 
away from the finishing line: 
Such is the weather nearly all these races have 
been sailed in so far. And a boat’s performance 
cannot be judged by one who reads a printed 
report; he has to see the peculiar conditions 
and thus form his own opinions of a boat’s 
abilities. 
« K « 
Marla, the Gardner sonder boat, has been re¬ 
decked and some new planks put in which in¬ 
creased her weight 29 pounds and has been 
passed by the measurer. This is more than some 
of the others have succeeded in doing. Both 
Spokanes, it is reported, have been barred from 
the trials.

Yacht Sales. 
The twin screw gasolene cruising houseboat 
Siesta has been sold by Mr. S. M. Schatzkin, 
New York city, to Mr. E. Iv. Smith, Swanton, 
Vt., through the agency of Stanley M. Seaman, 
220 Broadway, New York. Ihe yacht has been 
fitted out at Morris Heights and taken to Lake 
Champlain where her new owner will use her. 
The same agency has also sold the cruising , 
launch Vive for Mr. A. C. Smith, to Mr. I. T. 
Washburne. She will be used for cruising on 
the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. 
Mr. Seaman also reports the sale of the sloop 
Rammallah for Mr. J. T. Maynard, of Utica, 
N. Y., to a member of the New Rochelle Y. C. 
The yacht is now fitting out at New Rochelle. 
The sloop yacht Rajah has been sold by Mr. 
G. K. Helbert to Mr. R. H. Britton, Staten 
Island, through the agency of Stanley M. Sea¬ 
man, 220 Broadway, New York. 
The same agency has sold the launch Rjta for 
Mr. C. M. Busch to Mr. F. W. Kirk. She will 
be used on the Sound this summer. 
Mr. Seaman reports the sale of the auxiliary 
cat Nymph for Mr. A. F. Monuese to Mr. A. O. 
Sherman, of Rve, N. Y., and the knockabout Eva 
for Mr. Edger'Swain, of this city, to Mr. Tycho 
Buck, Jr., of Philadelphia, Pa. She will be used 
for cruising on Barnegat Bay. 
Hollis Burgess has sold the famous old schooner 
yacht Foam, owned by Frederick L. Gay, of 
Brookline, Mass., to Charles D. Vail, of Port 
Monmouth, New Jersey. Foam is 88ft. jm. over 
all, 82ft. 3m. waterline, 21ft. beam, and 7ft. 2in. 
draft. She was built by Robert . Palmer, _ at 
Noank, Conn., in 1863 and has had a very varied 
career. In the Civil War she was used as a 
privateer and was noted for her speed and sea¬ 
going qualities. 
He has also sold the 32ft. cruising cabin launch 
Topaz,' owned by Charles W. Clifford. Jr., of 
Bath, Maine, to Edward M. Hager, of Chicago, 
Ill. 
The cutter I. O. recently tried to see how 
far over Green’s flats she could jump. She only 
went half‘way, unfortunately for her owner, who 
was below sleeping, while his friends sailed her, 
for he not only got a good shaking up, but in 
the second jump she made at the next high tide, 
with launches pulling on her, she smashed her 
rudder just as she cleared the flats. More cream 
for the ship yards.

The Naval Reserve, of New Jersey, first bat¬ 
talion, have issued an interesting little book of 
thirty-four pages, giving some excellent views of 
life on the training ship Portsmouth' and some 
interesting recollections by one of the crew. It 
is from the press of Thomson & Co.

Result of Races at Atlantic Division Meet. 
Hermit Point, Hudson River, May 30-June 1. 
Event No. i.—Elliott sailing trophy. Course, 
three miles. Wind strong and water rough. 
Eight starters. First, Windward, Geo. P. Doug¬ 
lass, New York C. C, time, 33m. 5 s -’j second, 
Canuck, Wm. G. Harrison, K. C. C., time 34m. 
52s.; third, Half Moon, J. A. DeCamp, ^ K. C. 
C., time, 36m. 22s. This was any one’s race 
until the finish, as Douglass, Harrison and Moore 
alternated in the lead throughout. They all cap¬ 
sized several times, as the wind was very streaky, 
and owing to the backwardness of the season 
thev all showed lack of preparation. 
Event No. 2.—MacLister paddling trophy. 
One-half mile. Six starters. First, E. K. Mer¬ 
rill, Red Dragon C. C.; second, A. VanDohlen, 
Fort Washington C. C.; third, J. A. DeCamp, 
Knickerbocker C. C. The result of this . race 
was not altogether satisfactory, as the winner 
was the only contestant who had a canoe of the 
racing type, the others all paddling their regu¬ 
lar cruising canoes. VanDohlen put up a good 
race, and with canoes of equal speed would 
have made an interesting race. 
[June 22, 1907. 
Event No. 3.—One man paddling, single blades 
one-half mile. Five starters. First, E. K. Mer 
rill, Red Dragon C. C.; second, A. A. Vail, Qui 
quingus C. C. _ : 
Event No. 4.—Tandem paddling double blades 
one-half mile. Six starters. First, Baldwin am 
Finn, Inwood C. C.; second, DeCamp and Tay 
lor, Knickerbocker and New Mork clubs. 
Event No. 5.—Tandem paddling, single blades 
one-half mile. Five starters. First, Walker am 
Vail, Quiquingus C. C.; second, Baker and V il 
son, Quiquingus C. C. 
Event No. 6.—Open canoe sailing, two mile: 
•wind strong and water rough. Seven starter: 
First, A. M. Poole, Lady Bug, New York C. C 
time, 26m. 40s.; second, PI. D. Cochrane, Haca 
hema, K. C. C., time, 27m. 42s. 
Event No. 7.—Handicap, decked canoe sai 
ing. Two miles, wind strong and water rougl 
Maximum sail area allowed 85ft. First, R. P 
Kretzmer, K. C. C., Papoose, handicap, 2ra 
time, 25m. 31s.; second, L. Friede, Mudjekeewi 
handicap, 5m., time, 27m. 46s. This race de 
veloped a very amusing situation, as the judge 
called it for event No. 8 which was for the 85® 
limit class, while the regatta committee thougl 
it was No. 7, the handicap sailing, which w? 
not supposed to be limited to 85ft., and the 
based their handicaps on the full area of 11 
sq. ft. The mistake was discovered when.t? 
race was about half finished, and it was decide! 
to let it go as the handicap sailing. 
Event No. 8.—Decked sailing, 85ft. limit, tv 
miles. Six starters. First, Herbert Moore, I 
C. C., Celeritas, time. 21m. 30s.; second, R. 1 
Kretzmer, K. C. C., Papoose, time, 23m. 2os._ 
Event No. 10.—Club fours, one-half mile. Si 
crews. First, Inwood C. C., Chipperfield, Hei 
shaw, Zerrener and Callahan; second, Knicke 
bocker C. C., Flynn, Cromwell, DeCamp ar 
Sanford. This was one of the best races of tl 
meet, as the first three crews see-sawed in tl 
lead all the way down the course. A magni: 
cent spurt at the last landed the Inwoods a wii 
ner by a nose. 
Added Event.—Open canoe sailing, handica 
Two miles. Seven starters. First, F. V. Walke 
Quiquingus C. C., handicap, 5m., time, ih.; se
