FOREST AND STREAM. 
[July i8, 1908. 
Bensonhurst Y. C. Race. 
Thirty-four yachts participated in the 
Bensonhurst Y. C. race on July n, and though 
the breeze was generally light, all had close 
racing throughout. Chaperon had been taken 
down the bay from up on Long Island Sound, 
to see how she compared with boats down 
there. She got beaten by the narrow margin 
of 35 s - 
The boats went twice around a course with 
marks off Bensonhurst, Fort Hamilton. West 
Bank and Sea Gate. The race was decided in 
a light breeze from the southeast, which gave 
the yachts a reach from the Sea Gate mark to 
Bensonhurst, a spinnaker run to Fort Hamil¬ 
ton, another reach to buoy No. 11, which was 
the West Bank mark, and a beat to Sea Gate. 
The marks were all left on the port hand and 
the start and finish lines were midway on the 
Sea Gate-Bensonhurst leg. The Soya was 
the first away and led at every mark. 
So many boats entered the handicap class 
that it was decided to form two divisions. The 
larger boats sailed the same course as the 22- 
footers, and on both actual and corrected time 
the Adyta was the winner. The second division 
went over a smaller course and, although the 
Toy was the first home, the prize was won by 
the Madiana on corrected time. Several fouls 
marred the afternoon’s sport. The M. and F. 
was disqualified for hitting the Fort Hamilton 
mark, and the Zigzag for fouling the Bobs. At 
the start of the dory division the Anna, the 
Mouse and the Slowpoke all came together. 
The Anna claimed the right of way and pro¬ 
tested, but no decision was given by the regatta 
committee.

Fall River Y. C. Ocean Race. 
Nutmeg has again covered herself with glory 
as a long distance racer by winning the Fall 
River Y. C.’s ocean race and capturing the 
Rudder cup. The race was sailed July n and 12. 
The course was one of ioo miles, and this 
distance was covered by the winner in i8h. 34m., 
beating her nearest competitor, the Peri II., 
by 29m. The third boat to finish was Little 
Rhody, which crossed the line just 28s. behind 
Peri II. and 2m. astern of the crack Herreshoff 
30-footer Bambino. These boats hung together 
all around the course never more than 2m. 
apart. 
The wind at the start was strong southwest, 
making it a dead beat to Point Judith. 
Bambino and Duchess led until off Narragansett 
Pier, when the wind lightened and the Nutmeg 
forged ahead. She turned the gas buoy at 11:40 
and was followed a minute later by Little 
Rhody. Six boats rounded within 10m., close 
sailing after 40 miles of windward work. On
