Seawanhaka C. Y. C. Race. 
Thirty yachts started off Oyster Bay on 
Saturday, June 27, in the annual regatta of the 
Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C., sailing a 1514 
mile triangular course to a mark off Greenwich 
Point, then to a mark off Long Neck Point and 
home. Eight of the club’s one-design 15-footers 
sailed a shorter course of 6 Yz miles. 
Two 57-footers had a good race and eight of 
the New York thirties added considerable to 
the sport. Gardenia and Mimosa III. raced, the 
former winning. Seneca beat Red Rover. 
Aurora defeated Istalena. Alera won honors in 
the 30ft. class, Busy Bee in the second division 
handicap class, Flicker in the 15-footers and 
Faraway in the dory class. There was a very 
light northeast air. The summary:

The Cape May Race. 
The Brooklyn Y. C.’s ocean race from Graves¬ 
end Bay around Fire Island Lightship, then 
around Cape May Lightship and return, a dis¬ 
tance of about 325 nautical miles starts July 4 
at 10 A. M. The prize, a $1,000 gold cup, pre¬ 
sented by Sir Thomas Lipton, is one that guaran¬ 
tees a good fleet of yachts. Already seventeen 
boats are entered. The yachts are to be handi¬ 
capped under the rule Sir Thomas wanted ap¬ 
plied to the America's cup races. In this the 
schooners have an advantage, as they receive an 
allowance of fifteen per cent, from the sloops. 
The entries are: 
Zurah, Henry Doscher, New Rochelle. 84ft. 
Tammany, W. C. Towen, Brooklyn.74ft. 
Uncas, G. W. Titcomb, Brooklyn. 66ft. 
Vigil, John Lewis, Brooklyn . 61ft.

Brooklyn Y. C. Race. 
Quincy Cup. 
Twenty-seven yachts raced on Gravesend Bay 
Saturday, June 27, in the Brooklyn Y. C.’s race. 
The same old opponents went at each other with 
that persistency and perseverance characteristic 
of the club. 
The winners of the various divisions were: 
J. B. O’Donohue’s Crescent in the 27ft. class; 
W. A. Barstow’s 22-footer Soya, which crossed 
the finish line with Mrs. W. A. Barstow at the 
helm; the Lipton cup racer M. and F., which 
won her third consecutive race in the 15ft. class; 
Inslee & Stringer’s Gravesend Bay dory Slow 
Poke and W. J. O’Neil’s Miana, which not only 
finished first in the handicap class, but won the 
division on corrected time. 
The boats sailed twice around marks off Ben- 
sonhurst, Fort Hamilton, buoy No. n and Sea 
Gate. The wind was light from the south, which 
gave the craft a reach from the starting line to 
the Bensonhurst mark, a jibe, and with spin¬ 
nakers to port a run to Fort Hamilton, on the 
wind to buoy No. 11, while ballooners brought 
them to Sea Gate and then a short reach brought 
them home. Sue had the better of the start, 
but Crescent was the first around the Benson¬ 
hurst mark, and from there on the issue was 
never in doubt. 
With the exception of the dories all the yachts 
finished their respective courses. L. J. Tiemann 
fouled the Sea Gate mark in Masque and was 
disqualified, and Henry Eagle withdrew at the 
end of the first round. The summary: 
Sloops, Class P—Start, 3:05—Course, 12 Miles.

Four challenges have been received by the 
Corinthian Y. C., of Marblehead, for the race 
in August off Marblehead Neck for the Quincy 
cup. 
C. H. W. Foster, of the Manchester Y. C., 
challenged first with his Bandit, a Boardmati 
designed craft; then the Boston Y. C. challenged 
with Ellen, owned by C. P. Curtis, Jr.; the 
Quincy Club came next, naming Manchester, 
owned by Charles Francis Adams 2d, and then 
the Eastern Y. C. named Spokane, owned by 
F. Lewis Clarke. 
Vim, in all likelihood, will be one of the Corin¬ 
thian club’s defenders; the rest have not yet 
been decided upon. 
Zurah Beats Esperanza. 
The schooner yacht Zurah, owned by Henry 
Doucher, of the New Rochelle Y. C., won the 
special race from Bermuda to New York from 
the Esperanza, owned by J. Dalzell McKee, of 
Pittsburg.

A South County Canoe Trip. 
Concluded from page 1026. 
Passing the mouth of the Queens River, which 
joins the Charles near the edge of the swamp, 
and swinging around a few more bends, the 
river being now considerably wider, we ap¬ 
proached the railroad just as a freight train rat¬ 
tled by, exchanging greetings with the crew, 
and, seeing buildings, supposed we had at last 
reached Kenyon's, but the river there makes an¬ 
other bend and runs for quite a distance directly 
away from the railroad, then swings around, 
and, flowing under the railroad bridge, makes 
three more bends, and the dam at Kenyon’s is 
reached. This dam is a small structure, and at 
some stages of the water might be jumped, but 
at this time a carry of about thirty feet was 
necessary. 
Taking our places in the canoe once more w r e 
floated down a short stretch, stopping for a 
moment to ask a pretty girl, sitting under a tree 
at the edge of the river, if the village was Ken¬ 
yon’s, and, receiving the assurance that such was 
the fact, paddled on around the bend, just be¬ 
yond finding a steep drop in the river bed, 
where, but for the thick growth of weeds and 
grass, lightening the canoe would have been 
SOUP FOR LUNCH (bURDICKVILLE) . 
necessary. However, steering for what appeared 
to be the best channel, and getting a good start, 
the canoe slid down over the grass as nicely 
and smoothly as a “shoot the chutes’’ of the 
artificial kind, and passing under the railroad 
bridge at the foot of the chute, we found a slack 
water, following which we soon reached another 
dam around which we carried, on the left, about 
three hundred feet, putting in below the road 
and pushing on once more, the next carry being 
at Shamrock where we took out below the mill, 
on the right bank, carried over the shafting and 
through the pasture to just below the dam, per¬ 
haps four hundred feet in all. 
We had hoped to have reached Carolina and 
located our camp by this time, but Carolina was 
still some distance ahead, and we determined to 
camp on the first good spot we should see. 
Accordingly, paddling hard down a river well 
worth a more leisurely trip, that its beauties 
might be more fully appreciated, we reached 
the pond at Carolina and encamped on the right 
bank, high above the river, and about a quarter 
of a mile above the dam. Here we found plenty 
of good wood and a thick bed of oak leaves, 
dry and soft, over which we pitched the tent, 
the cook starting off to locate some milk and 
water. 
The tent was scarcely pitched, the wood gath¬ 
ered, and the fir^ started before the sun had set 
■ and the twilight gone. The cook had not re¬ 
turned, and we began to think he had lost his 
way, not being accustomed to the woods in the 
dark, but soon voices were heard approaching 
and the cook appeared out of the gloom, while 
the other person passed on. It seems that the 
cook, having been successful in his quest for 
lacteal fluid, was returning, when two colored 
gentlemen were encountered. At first he. feared 
a holdup, but a request for a drink being an¬ 
swered by the statement that he had only milk
