A HAPPY OUTLOOK. 
Yachtsmen are happy because the outlook now 
is a very good one for next season. While this 
year has been fair and there has been lots of 
racing, particularly in the smaller classes, the 
sport suffered through the late financial depres¬ 
sion and few new yachts were built. Things 
are picking up now. Designers are getting 
and plans are being made for yachts that will 
race next year. An order has been placed for 
a yacht to meet the Dorello and plans are to be 
drawn at once. Four yachtsmen are figuring on 
each having a schooner possibly in the 75ft. 
class for next year. These boats, if plans go 
through, will be of one-design and should fur¬ 
nish some of the best sport ever seen in these 
waters. Other yachts are being talked of, and 
it is probable that builders and designers will 
be busy during the coming winter and a fine 
fleet of new vessels race next season. 
Larchmont’s Race Week. 
It was while the Larchmont and Atlantic Y. 
C. fleets were taking part in a combined cruise 
in 1905 that some bright minds on board Com¬ 
modore Gillig’s flagship the Ramona conceived 
the idea of a race week instead of a cruise each 
year, and the idea found such popular favor 
at once that it was put into execution the next 
year, and in 1906 the first race week of the 
Larchmont Y. C. was held. Singularly enough 
the dates then were July 18 to 25 inclusive, and 
those were the dates this year. Those who 
planned this week of sport builded better than 
they knew, and now Larchmont race week is 
the event of the year in the yacht racing world, 
and yachts come from all points to compete for 
the club’s rich prizes. 
In the first week Colonia, Emerald and 
Amorita raced in the schooner classes, and 
among the sloops were Dragoon, Acushla, the 
.30-footers Musme and Carolina, the half-raters 
Hope, Paprika and Yola, and the 21-footers 
Iiouri, Cleia and Vaquero. Paprika was owned 
by C. Sherman Hoyt and she was a big winner, 
and Mr. Hoyt has this year again been a big 
winner with his 22-footer Capsicum. Houri and 
Vaquero are still furnishing good sport. Forty- 
three yachts raced. This year the total number 
of starters was 545. 
Commodore Postley was flag officer of the 
Larchmont Club then. He has recently passed 
away. Howard Coates, J. V. S. Oddie, S. 
Nicholson Kane, W. S. Alley, Fred J. Flint, 
Woodbury Kane and Augustin Monroe were 
among the active members of the club, but they 
have gone too, but have left behind them a 
monument in the shape of the organization of 
the Larchmont Club, its home, its collection of 
trophies and relics that will last as long as there 
is yachting; and they, through their ideas of 
what constitutes a good sportsman, have imbued 
the younger generation with similar spirits, and 
the younger men are carrying on at Larchmont 
what there began some years ago. 
Mr. John F. Lovejoy was then chairman of 
the regatta committee. He has since retired. It 
was he who started the race week, and last week 
he visited Larchmont and saw how his pet 
scheme had grown. 
Larchmont does more for yachting than per¬ 
haps any other club, because it takes care of the 
younger yachtsmen. It encourages young men 
to become interested in the sport. It is always 
ready to arrange a race for any kind of class. 
The big classes will always take care of them¬ 
selves, but it is through the rising generation 
that yachting must grow, and by advancing their 
interests the Larchmont Y. C. is doing more 
than any other club for a sport that is healthy, 
clean and one that promotes good fellowship 
and the higher ideals. 
This year the work of running the races has 
been particularly trying. The regatta commit¬ 
tee, Messrs. Charles P. Tower, Edgar B. Car- 
busy roll and Howell C. Perrin, have worked hard 
and given their time ungrudgingly, and with the 
result that the successes have been great. They 
have been ably assisted by Vice-Commodore 
John Proctor Clarke, who is an enthusiast on 
everything pertaining to yachting, and to the 
Larchmont Club. Commodore Wilson Marshall 
has done much to keep the spirit of the mem¬ 
bers up to the high plane level set by his pre¬ 
decessors in office, and Mr. W. B. Jenkins and 
Mr. E. J. Graecen, of the Board of Trustees, 
have attended to the comforts of the members 
and their visitors when ashore. 
Monday, July 20. 
The second races of the series were sailed on 
Monday, July 20, but as at Larchmont, they 
will always arrange races for those yachtsmen 
who want them, there were as many starters 
as on the opening day of race week. The 
weather was very different, though. A light 
southwesterly wind blew when the starts were 
made. This later backed to the south and en¬ 
abled the yachts to sail around the triangles 
without any windward work. There were calms, 
too, when near the Hempstead mark the 57- 
footers were helpless for a time. The 30- 
footers, too, were drifting at that point for 
some time. The courses selected took the 
yachts to the eastward first, then across the 
sound and then home and they had two reaches 
and a run. 
With the smaller classes the races were fairer 
tests than with the larger ones, because the 
courses over which they sailed kept them well 
out in the Sound, and that did not run into the 
calm streak. It is too bad that the Larchmont 
Club has to have a turning mark at Hempstead 
Harbor. When the w r eather is light, it is always 
fluky at that point. 
The 57-footers made a good fight for position 
at the start, and both were too soon at the line. 
They tacked and came for the line again, with 
Aurora leading and leading Istalena by 42s. 
These two boats are so evenly matched when 
reaching or running, that the one getting away 
first can usually keep the lead, and Aurora 
finished first. 
The Gardenia and Dorwina met again and 
Dorwina, on even terms, succeeded in winning 
the race by 4m. 7s. The Boston yacht, Dorello,. 
made a runaway race of it with the Mimosa III. 
and finished alone. The Dorello will be a hard 
nut for the larger boats to crack on the cruise 
of the New York Y. C. 
In the 30ft. class Alera was the winner, with 
Plera II again in second place and Nepsi third. 
Sue, having no competitor in her class, sailed 
to beat the best time of the raceabouts, which 
she did handily. 
_ The 22-footers put up a good race, and this 
time Capsicum was the winner with Princess 
second. The winners in the handicap and 
smaller classes are shown in the table.

Tuesday, Ju'y 21. 
As usual. Tuesday was given up to the enter¬ 
tainment of the fair visitors to the club. There 
were to have been races for power boats, but a 
strong easterly wind had made the Sound quite 
rough, and so only four cruising craft started. 
These were sent away at 11:45 o’clock, over a 
course 19.5 miles in length. They finished as 
follows: 
Royal Flush, P. Von Beerckman. 1 40 38 
Minerva, A. F. Barkelow .2 23 56 
Eronel, S. Cochrane .2 30 21
