Logs of the Honolulu Racers. 
Honolulu, July 26.—The courses sailed by the 
four yachts that took part in the race from San 
Pedro make very interesting study, and a care¬ 
ful inspection of the charts kept by each skipper 
show how evenly the four kept together on the 
long race, which lasted about two weeks. They 
left San Pedro on July 4 at noon and never at 
any part of the race were they very far apart. 
Lurline finished on July 17 and her daily runs, 
according to her log, were 55, 135, 143, 172, 180, 
186, 187, 188, 225, 220, 195, 175, 205, 181. From 
the 5th until the 16th the course had been west 
half south to southwest and she was on the star • 
board tack while she sailed 2,010 miles, the winds 
coming northerly and easterly nearly all the time. 
Gwendolin had light winds the first day and 
after that her runs were 127, 134, 157, 183, 185, 
i75> 163, 191. 180, 175, 194, 187, 186 and 145 miles. 
Lurline allowed the three other racers some 
time and when the handicaps were taken into 
consideration there were a little more than 21 
hours between Lurline, the first boat, and Hawaii, 
the last. 
Thirty-Footers at Newport. 
The 30-footers that accompanied the New 
York Yacht Club scjuadron as far as Newport 
remained there last week and took part in races 
arranged by the Newport Yacht Racing Associa¬ 
tion. The races were sailed on Narragansett 
Bay in steady fresh to brisk winds. Phryne ami 
Alera tied in the point scores. In the second 
race four of the starters failed to turn a light 
which their owners did not know marked the 
course. Their times were thrown out. The

Massachusetts Dories Win. 
Four dories from Maine sailed against four 
Massachusetts dories in a series of races off 
Marblehead arranged by the Corinthian Yacht 
Club on August n, 12 and 13. The Massa¬ 
chusetts boats were Raggylug, S. H. Brown: 
Barbara, J. J. Blanev; Lob II, Carroll Brown, and 
Elizabeth F., Brown and Blaney. The Maine 
dories were Oaxaca, R. K. Dyer; Coming II, E. 
E. Curtis; Pointer III, B. C. Melzari, and Sister, 
E. A. Randall. In the three races the Maine 
boats were outsailed on almost every point, and 
the trophy, the Knight Cup. was won by the 
Raggylug. She finished third in the first race, 
first in the second and second in the third. 
Atalanta Back from Europe. 
The turbine steam yacht Atalanta, owned by 
George J. Gould, which has been in European 
waters for some time, arrived back last week. 
She experienced fog all the way, only one day 
being clear. Her daily runs were 94, 253, 300, 
294. 296, 294, 290, 310, 306, 293 and 30 miles, a 
total of 2,760.

Cloth. Price, $3.00. 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon¬ 
stration, one of a centerboard boat 19ft. waterline, and 
the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de¬ 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail are given for the building of both these 
boats. The information is riot confined to these yachts 
alone, they are merely taken as examples; but what is 
said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods. 
Chicago. 
A water carnival, brilliant with lanterns, col¬ 
ored lights and fireworks, marked the opening of 
the Chicago Boat Club’s new boathouse at Lin¬ 
coln Park the night of Saturday, Aug. 8. Five 
hundred guests assembled in the semi-circular 
plaza formed by the walls of the edifice to watch 
the canoe parade and to participate in the recep¬ 
tion and luncheon which followed, and thousands 
of spectators, attracted by the moonlight pageant 
on the water, clustered along the shores of the 
lagoon to watch the procession of water craft. 
The parade was the most elaborate in the his¬ 
tory of Chicago canoeing. Judges of the merits 
of the decorations devised by the clubmen for 
their craft found difficulty in discriminating 
among the varied effects produced. 
As the parade passed the reviewing stand the 
judges’ committee, consisting of W. H. Gray, 
Charles Catlin, and Dr. A. J. Ochsner, selected 
the winning boats and announced through a meg 
aphone the following awards;
