[Sept. 19, 1908. 
Massachusetts Bay Championships. 
The yachting season being practically over in 
Massachusetts waters, secretaries of clubs and 
associations have been busy figuring out the 
winners in the many championship classes. 
The Corinthian Yacht Club’s season ended on 
Aug- T5, and the champion winners are: Class 
M, Marie L.; Class N, Dorello; Class P, 
Gringo; Class Q, Eleanor; Sonder class, Ellen; 
r8ft. knockabouts. Hugi; Class R, Secret. In 
the last-named. Hugi had a sailover. In the 
Q class, Eleanor beat Achilles by one-half of 
one per cent, but Achilles sailed ten races and 
Eleanor withdrew after she had won with cham¬ 
pionship and had sailed eight races. Seven 
took part in the Sonder class racing, and the 
fight was a hot one, as the tables show:

There have been ten Sonder boats racing in 
Massachusetts waters during the season, but all 
did not compete for the Corinthian champion¬ 
ships. One new boat, Bandit, owned by C. H. 
W. Foster, raced, but she was beaten in points 
by Ellen and Manchester, both now in their 
third season. Ellen seems to be better than 
Manchester in light winds, and Manchester is 
the better in a breeze and rough sea. The 
record of these boats follows:

Larchmont’s Last Race. 
The Larchmont Y. C. closed its season with 
races for special classes on Saturday, Sept. 12. 
The schooners were to have sailed the annual 
race for the schooner cup, but no first class 
yachts were left in commission, and so the race 
was _ given up. In its place the 57-footers 
furnished a good contest and Gardenia added 
to the interest by trying with her allowance of 
32m. 52s. to beat the best time of Aurora or 
Istalena. She failed, being beaten by Aurora 
7m. 56s. corrected time. 
It was a light weather day, the wind being 
E. N. E., but steady all through the contest. 
The first mark of the course was sA miles away, 
E. N. E., so that this was the windward leg 
Then they went 6^4 miles S. W. by S. to Mott’s 
Point, and then 3^ miles to the home mark. 
This course was sailed twice over. In 
maneuvering for position at the start, Aurora 
was forced over the line, but she got back 
quickly and held the weather position, the two 
crossing together. It was a very close race on 
the first round, and at the home mark the times 
were: Aurora, 1.40.23; Istalena, 1.41.03; 
Gardenia, 2.02.58. Aurora had a lead of 40s. 
On the second round Aurora drew away from 
Istalena and finished a winer by 5m. 18s Her 
actual time over the course was 3.52.15, showing 
that she averaged 7.75 nautical miles an hour. 
.In the race for 30-footers. Phryne was the 
winner, and Alera beat Nepsi just 5s. for second 
place. A. H. W. Johnston’s Red Wing defeated 
Memory in a special class, in which the little 
schooner Pagan started, but did not finish. 
Houri defeated Dorothy in the race for 21- 
footers, and Skeeter won the race for the Man- 
hasset Bay bugs. The times:

Seneca is Champion. 
The race for the Corinthian cup offered by 
the Indian Harbor Y. C. proved to be a very 
successful one, and it attracted seven starters 
out of the fifteen yachts entered. The light 
weather probably kept some yachtsmen from 
taking part in the race. This cup is to stand for 
the championship of the smaller classes on the 
Sound, and this is the first year that a race has 
been sailed under these conditions. The cup 
was offered this 3'ear by the Indian Harbor 
Club and other clubs on the Sound are to fol¬ 
low in successive years, so that the race will be 
a fixture and it will become more and more 
popular. It is for all yachts 33ft. and under 
sailing in one class, with time allowance accord¬ 
ing to the scale, except that yachts rating under 
15 are to figure as 15 in computing their allow¬ 
ances. 
Seneca, the 27-footer, owned by Addison G. 
and H. Wilmer Hanan, won and won, too, 
through the clever handling of the Hanan 
Brothers. The starters, in addition to Seneca, 
were: Eleanor, F. T. Bedford; Princess, F. G. 
Stewart; Dahinda, G. E. Roosevelt; Chaperone, 
Robert Jacob; Psammiad, F. J. Dyer; Dede, W. 
G. Douglass. 
The course over which these yachts sailed was 
from the starting line off Great Captains 
Island, S. E. El E., 5% miles to the block buoy 
off Centre Island, then 4J6 miles N. by E. % E. 
to the Cows Gas Buoy off Shippan Point, and 
thence 5A miles W. by S. %. S. to the finish; a 
total of 15 miles. The wind was light from the 
E. S. E. 
The first leg was windward work, the second a 
reach and the third a run, so that the wind suited 
the course admirably. Seneca gained the coveted an cunea togetiier. T hey sailed in a moderate 
position at the start, and Princess went away at E. S. E. wind and went first to Parsonage Point, 
the leeward end of the bunch. Seneca at once a beat of 4 miles from off New Rochelle, then 
pulled, away from the other and sailed like a 
witch in the light wind and had a commanding 
lead when the first mark was reached. On this 
leg she beat Eleanor 7m, Chaperone 10m. 12s. 
and Dahinda 14m. 39s. These were all that 
were prominent in the race at that point. 
Reaching, Dahinda did the best work. She beat 
Seneca 10s. Eleanor 2m. 47s. and Chaperone 
3m. 15s. Running home, Seneca sailed away 
from the others, and on that leg gained iom. 
28s. on Eleanor and much more on the other 
yachts. The times made by each over the 
different logs of the course were:
