mina, and the Vigilant won the launch race, a 
handicap, and the North Star was second. 
Aug. 15, Commodore’s Cups, Marblehead. 
Ten yachts, three schooners and seven sloops 
started in the races for the cups offered by Com¬ 
modore Vanderbilt. Members of the. Eastern 
Yacht Club were invited to enter their yachts 
and Commodore Gordon Abbott entered the old 
Gloriana and had Charles Francis Adams 2d on 
board; Vice-Commodore F. Lewis Clark enterec. 
the Emerald, R. Treat Paine the Humma, S. 
Reed Anthony the Doris and G. L. Batcheldei 
the Dorello. The latter is a new sloop rating at 
33.10 and has made quite a record this year. She 
was allowed 48 minutes 3 seconds by the Aurora 
and Istalena over the 28-mile course. 
There was a fine wind northwest by north at 
the start, and the course selected was two sides 
of a triangle. The- first leg, 6 miles southeast. Rj 
south, the second 7 miles north to the Whistling 
Buoy’off Easton’s Point, the third 7 miles south, 
and the fourth 6 miles northwest Ra west. The 
first leg was a run and spinnakers were carried, 
and on this leg the Aurora and Istalena made 
the journey in exactly the same time. The 
Aurora led at the start and she held her position. 
The second leg was a close reach and the wind 
hauling more north as the yachts neared the land 
some had to make a hitch to fetch. The Queen 
led around this mark and the Aurora led the 
sloops, having improved her position very much. 
They started with a broad reach back to the 
outer turning mark and the Queen drew further 
away from the Elmina, and the Aurora reaching 
on the starboard tack set her spinnaker 
for a few minutes and ran away from the Ista¬ 
lena. That yacht and others astern had to 
gybe to reach the mark, the wind going easterly. 
On the wind home the Queen easily sailed away 
from the Elmina. The Aurora had the race won 
at the leeward mark, but a shift in the wind let 
the others up so that while the Aurora finished 
first she was beaten on time allowance and the 
Avenger again won. The times for each leg of 
the course are shown in the following:

Mrs. Barstow Wins a Race. 
The third race of the women’s series of the 
Atlantic Yacht Club was sailed on Gravesend 
Bav on Wednesday, August n. The Soya, Joy 
and Spider were starters, and Mrs. Chubb, who 
sailed the Spider, was disqualified for fouling the 
home stake boat. Mrs. Chubb won the first two 
races of the series, and her disqualification in this 
race makes the point scores Mrs. Barstow and 
Mrs. Chubb 6 each, Mrs. Currier 5. The yachts 
went twice around the short course in a fresh 
southerly wind. The times were: Soya, 1.27.21; 
Joy, 1.29.30; Spider, disqualified. 
Huguenot Y. C. Regatta. 
The annual regatta of the Huguenot Yacht 
Club was sailed on the Sound off New Rochelle 
on Saturday, August 15. It was the 14th annual 
event of the club, and 43 yachts started in 16 
classes. At the start the wind was moderate 
from the north northeast, but it died down to¬ 
wards the finish, which in a measure accounts 
for the differences in the times made by the 
yachts. The Chaperone, owned by Robert Jacob, 
won in Class Q and made the fastest time over 
the course. The summaries :

New York Canoe Regatta. 
An evil omen is pursuing the yachtsmen of 
the New York Canoe Club. Three weeks ago 
the regatta had to be postponed because the wind 
was too strong, and last Saturday, at the annual 
regatta of the club, the wind was so light that 
only ten of the 34 starters could reach the finish¬ 
ing line. In the 27-foot class the Sue, which had 
her lead removed to make her better in light airs, 
defeated the Crescent. The Sakana won the 
yawl race and the Joy won the race for 22- 
footers. The summary:

Stratford Shoal Cruising Race. 
The Manhasset Bay Yacht Club will give a 
cruising race on Aug. 22, open to cabin or decked 
yachts up to 33 ft. rating enrolled in any recog¬ 
nized yacht club. 
The race will be started off the clubhouse, 
Manhasset Bay, Port Washington, Long Island. 
The finishing line will be the same as starting 
line, but in the opposite direction. 
Two stake boats will be placed at the starting 
point, and the start will be across a range line 
projected from a white flag on the committee 
boat to and beyond the mast of the mark boat 
nearest the committee boat. All yachts shall 
cross between the two mark boats and not be¬ 
tween the committee boat and the nearer mark 
boat. It is understood that the further mark will 
not be on the starting range line. It is placed 
only for the purpose of establishing the length of 
the starting line, all yachts being required to pass 
inside of it. Both mark boats shall be considered 
marks of the course. 
Warning at 4 P. M., square white flag. 
Preparatory at 4.03 P. M., blue peter. 
Start at 4.10 P. M., red ball. 
From the starting line, in Manhasset Bay, to 
and around Stratford Shoal Light, leaving it on' 
the starboard hand, thence to finish line. Dis¬ 
tance seventy nautical miles. All Government 
marks to be left on the channel side, except 
buoys on Stratford Shoal, which may be disre¬ 
garded. 
The committee boat will anchor about one- 
half mile to the south of Stratford Shoal Light 
and will display by night a red and a white light 
at the masthead and by day the committee flag. 
Yachts in rounding must report to the committee 
boat before returning to the finishing line. _ 
In case of very heavy weather, making it im¬ 
possible for the committee boat to anchor, yachts 
will take their own time in rounding and reporl 
same to committee boat on finishing. 
Time allowance will be. figured according to 
racing measurement under the universal rule 
with allowances for yawls and schooners. 
Except where otherwise specified the rules of 
the Y. R. A. L. I. S. will govern. 
Yachts shall be in cruising trim, except that 
rowboats need not be carried. 
First prize presented by Howard Gould: 
second prize presented by F. L. St. John; third 
prize presented by Vice-Commodore Bainbridge. 
Entries must be sent to the committee at 
Port Washington prior to Friday, August 21st, 
6 P. M. Entries must give rating measurement 
(this also applies to yachts of the handicap 
class), club enrolled in, racing number and own¬ 
er’s name and address. No yacht’s time will be 
taken unless measurement is given. 
Protests, if any, must be made to the Commit¬ 
tee within one hour after finishing.
