Aug. 12, Vineyard Haven to Provincetown. 
This was the longest run of the whole cruise, 
but it was the most enjoyable. The fleet started 
from Vineyard Haven about 6 o'clock and the 
first lot, the sloops, were sent away at 6.25 
j o’clock. It was a one-gun start for all. This ar- 
j rangement was made to save time and the run 
was a long one, 82 miles, and the yachtsmen 
wanted to save the tide over the shoals as much 
t as possible. There was fog when the yachts left 
the harbor and the wind was light from south. 
The fog cleared away but the wind did not 
strengthen until some time after the start and 
the tide running east carried several of the 
yachts across the line too soon and they had hard 
work getting back. The Leda was the first away 
and she was followed by the Vigilant. The 
Aurora succeeded in getting back to the line and 
I wearing went off next, followed by the Rosalie. 
Then it was time for the schooners and the 
j Queen wearing on the line almost poked her 
bowsprit through the mainsail of the Istalena, 
V but the tide helping that yacht saved her. Em¬ 
erald was first away, followed in order by 
Istalena, Elmina, Queen, Taormina, Ariadne, 
Avenger, Katrina, Irolita, Weetamoe, Eclipse, 
Mimosa II, Seneca, Vencedor and Miladi. 
j Balloon jib topsails were carried and soon af¬ 
ter getting clear of East Chop the wind fresh¬ 
ened and came southwest by west. They reached 
by the Hedge Fence Lightship with the Vigilant 
in the lead and Aurora next carrying a spinna¬ 
ker. The Vigilant passed Cross Rip Lightship at 
8.15, Queen at 8.17.25, Elmina at 8.19.52, Aurora 
at 8.21.19, Istalena at 8.21.58, and Avenger at 
8-24.35. At Handkerchief Lightship the Queen 
was leading and she set a spinnaker; Elmina fol¬ 
lowed and then came Vigilant and Aurora. The 
Queen passed Shovelfull Lightship at 10.34, El¬ 
mina at 10.39, Aurora at 10.40.30, Istalena at 
10.41 and Vigilant at 10.41.30. Then spinnakers 
were taken in and it was a broad reach against 
the tide to Pollock Rip Lightship which the 
Queen passed at 10.55.30, Elmina at 10.59.30, 
Vigilant at n.00.30, Istalena at 11.01, Aurora at 
11.01.15 and Avenger next. 
The wind had freshened considerably and the 
yachts were sailing fast. They reached up the 
Cape Cod shore with rail down and all light sails 
drawing. Chatham was passed by the leaders at 
12.45. They were off Nauset at 2 o’clock and by 
the time the leaders were off Highland Light the 
wind was quite strong. It is usually so in this 
section and grows stronger as one approaches 
the head of the Cape. After passing Highland 
Light they had to haul close on the wind to fetch 
by Race Point and then with one or two hitches 
reached the finishing line off Long Point. The 
Queen led the fleet in followed by the Elmina, 
Vigilant, Istalena, Aurora, Avenger, Weetamoe, 
Emerald and Katrina. In the harbor several 
fishermen were at anchor and they stood out in 
strange contrast to the trim yachts. The races 
were for the Hauoli Cups offered by Mr. F. M. 
Smith, and as they are beautiful trophies each 
yachtsman was anxious to win. The Katrina 
and Avenger were the successful yachts. 
Katrina is a boat 20 years old, but she is a witch 
running and reaching, particularly when the 
breeze is fresh. Mr. Ford will sail her in races 
where she is not outclassed, and as he is always 
willing to help the sport, the victory was a popu¬ 
lar one. The summaries:

August 13, Provincetown to Marblehead. 
This run does not take much to tell. A brisk 
southwesterly wind was blowing when the yachts 
sailed out of the harbor, and this meant that 
after making a short hitch to clear Wood End 
Light the yachts would have a broad reacli to the 
finish at Half-Way Rock. The starts were ex¬ 
citing. The 57-footers went for the line on the 
starboard tack, Aurora leading, with Avenger 
on her weather and Istalena trying to drive* in 
between the two. The three stood down the line 
toward the committee boat and the seconds as 
they were counted off seemed terribly long. The 
Aurora reached about twenty feet from the com¬ 
mittee boat when the signal sounded and all 
hauling their wind, they stood out. The Aurora 
soon backwinded the Avenger and that yacht 
took the port tack to get clear. When the small 
schooners were to start the Katrina pulled out 
the pennant of the throat halliards and she had 
to repair. This was done smartly, but she was 
handicapped 12 minutes and but for the accident 
would have won the race. Just as the Elmina 
crossed a small sloop loaded with excursionists 
got in her way. It seemed as if she must be run 
down, but Capt. Dennis saw her in time and 
luffing sharply, just cleared her. Balloon jib too- 
sails and _ on some big maintopmast staysails 
were, carried, and when half-way across Massa¬ 
chusetts Bay the wind lightened. The Emerald 
led the fleet in but she had started well in ad¬ 
vance. The Vigilant was next and then came the 
Queen. She had made the run in 3 hours 20 
minutes 32 seconds, which was at the rate of 
12.3 nautical miles an hour. The yachts were 
racing for the Navy Challenge Cups, and these 
were won by the Taormina and Avenger. The

yachtsmen paid visits to the Eastern men and 
entertained them on their yachts. Commodore 
Vanderbilt, Rear Vice-Commodore James, Rear- 
Commodore Brewster, the regatta committee, 
and a few other members were entertained at 
dinner by Commodore Abbott and the flag offi¬ 
cers of the Eastern Yacht Club. 
The races for the Owl and Gamecock Colors 
were rowed. The Owl colors were won by the 
pair-oared gig of the Emrose. The Gamecock 
colors were won by the four-oared gig of the 
Katrina, The dinghy race was won by the El-
