Lakewood Y. C. Schedule. 
The regatta committee of the Lakewood Y. 
C., of Cleveland, has completed the racing 
schedule for the season. The regular club 
races will be May 30, June 11 and 25, Aug 6 
and 20, and these regattas will be for all 
classes. All the above dates except May 30 are 
Saturday afternoons, but as in past seasons 
these races will be sailed on the following Sun¬ 
day morning. 
A point flag bearing the date of the race, and 
class letter, will be given to the winner in each 
class immediately after each race has been 
sailed. 
The regatta, July 2, 3, 4 and 5, js open to all 
sail and power boats of the Lake Yachting As¬ 
sociation. The sailboat schedule for this regatta 
is as follows: 
July 2—Universal 18-foot, 16-foot, handicap 
cruiser and catboats. 
July 3—All classes except 18-foot. 
July 4—All classes*. Free-for-all race for the 
Com. Gardner cup. 
July s—18-foot class, only. 
The 18-footer securing the highest number of 
points in this regatta becomes possessor of the 
Winton trophy for one year. Cash prizes will 
be awarded the winners in all classes. A special 
feature of this regatta will be an obstacle cat- 
boat race on the afternoon of July 3. 
This race is a hummer. Those who witnessed 
the one held at Toledo last summer at the in¬ 
terlake regatta will recall what a ludicrous, affair 
it was. Those participating got even more en¬ 
joyment than those who witnessed the race. 
On the afternoon of July 4 the water sports 
events will be held. These include canoe races 
of various kinds, swimming races and a baseball 
game played in the water. 
July 16 is the date set for the annual long 
distance race to Put-in-Bay for sailboats. At 
the present time the regatta committee has not 
worked out all the details of his race, but the 
boats should finish in plenty of time to take 
part in the interlake regatta, starting July 18. 
Another feature the committee has in view 
that will be of great interest to all, will be a 
race on Aug. 27 by the 18-footers, racing under 
the universal rating and handicap ruling. The 
results of this race will probably differ greatly 
from those of the regular season series. For 
instance, Aladdin would receive a handicap from 
every boat, while Yankee would have to give 
each boat a handicap. This race is merely a try¬ 
out of the universal rating and should prove a 
surcess. 
The regatta committee has decided' to hold 
the Labor Day races at Vermilion. The Wake¬ 
field trophy is the big prize for this race and 
is held for one year by the winning yacht. The 
list of prizes is usually a good drawing card, 
not to mention the royal welcome prepared for 
the yachtsmen. 
According to custom, there will be a long 
distance race to Vermilion Sept. 4. 
Sea Isle City Club. 
The Sea Isle City Club on Barnegat Bay is 
erecting a modern structure on the thorough¬ 
fare back of the island from which the club 
takes its name. The new club house will cost, 
when completed, about $15,000, and its appoint¬ 
ments and equipments will be second to none 
along the south New Jersey coast. Better than 
ever will be the facilities for those enjoyable 
summer entertainments that have already placed 
the club in high esteem among the members, 
their friends and guests. 
It is also the intention of the club to have 
entries in every regatta during the coming sea¬ 
son, and it is hoped that the high percentage 
of success attained last summer will be con¬ 
tinued in the future. Its fleet at present consists 
of about fifty craft, made up of motor boats, 
single-stickers, catboats and cruising launches. 
Several of the members promise to have some¬ 
thing new in the way of speed marvels when 
the season opens. 
The Sea Isle City Y. C. was chartered on 
Tuly 8, 1908. by a number of the residents of 
the resort and summer cottagers interested in 
the sport, and there has been a unity of action 
in the club affairs that presages a big future for 
the hustling young association. 
There are about 250 members at present en¬ 
rolled. The officers are: Edward Wells, Com¬ 
modore; Franz Ehrlich, Jr., Vice-Commodore; 
Andrew T. McDonald, Rear-Commodore; 
Hiram C. Love, Secretary; G. Fred Cronecker, 
Treasurer, and Charles F. Clouting, Harbor 
Master. The Board of Governors consists of 
John J. Coyle, Richard M. Atwater, Charles 
Class, C. Henry Strecker, James A. D. Crab¬ 
tree, Edgar P. East, Bently Cain and Edward 
W. Wells, ex-officio. 
East Greenwich Y. C. 
* 
The East Greenwich Y. C., which was or¬ 
ganized last November, is planning to erect a 
club house on the grounds of the Champlin 
Lumber Company, and adjoining the yacht yards 
of Frederick S. Nock. The members of the 
club feel that if there was a club in that vicinity 
with proper landing places and moorings it 
would prove a boon to yachtsmen here who are 
off on a week-end cruise. After its organization 
the club took quarters for the winter over Capr. 
Hilliard’s boat shop. The present membership 
of the organization is fifty-two, and comprises 
some of the best-known men in the town. East 
Greenwich has a splendid little bay for shelter¬ 
ing boats, but unfortunately the waterfront has 
been allowed to run down. 
It is the intention of the club, and this was 
one of the provisions in its constitution, to im¬ 
prove this waterfront as much as possible. Al¬ 
ready they have induced the, town to light up 
the waterfront with electric lights and other 
and more far-reaching improvements are being 
planned. 
Some time ago the club appointed a committee 
to look into the matter of geting a club house. 
This body has been working on the matter, and 
in the course of a week or ten days will re¬ 
port to the members and offer a plan of a build¬ 
ing to be about 50 feet square and two stories 
high. \ 
The committee in charge of the building is 
composed of Joseph Lawton, Frank C. Church, 
L. W. Dugdale, M. A. Newcomb and W. L. 
Sharpe. The officers of the club are: Commo¬ 
dore, Joseph Lawton; Vice-Commodore, Robert 
V. S. Reed; Secretary, Frank C. Church; Treas¬ 
urer, L. W. Dugdale, and Steward, Capt. Frank 
Hood. 
Yachts Change Hands. 
B. B. Crowninshield reports the following 
sales: F. H. Pratt’s 30-foot auxiliary sloop 
Cornelia to E. E. Myrick, of New York; 36- 
foot yawl Albicore, belonging to William M. 
Campbell, of Brooklyn, to E. E. Conway, of 
Boston. Mr. Conway will have a motor in¬ 
stalled and will use the boat in cruising along 
the Maine coast. 
John G. Alden announces the following sales: 
Henry R. Schmidt, of Philadelphia, has pur¬ 
chased from Richard Hutchison, of the Boston 
Y. C., the 36-foot gasolene launch Casino. 
Robert W. Candler, of New York city, has pur¬ 
chased from E. B. Shaw, of Boston, the 33-foot 
sloop Olive D. Orne, which will be shortly 
taken to Edgartown, Mass. Howard D. Speare, 
of Quincy, has purchased the 21-foot center- 
board knockabout Brownie from Harold Wead 
of the Corinthian Y. C. 
Thornton K. Lothrop, Jr., a well known Bos¬ 
ton yachtsman, has purchased the 42-foot water¬ 
line schooner yacht Black Hawk from Charles 
E. Gibson, of Newton Highlands, through the 
Hollis Burgess Yacht Agency. Black Hawk is 
61 feet over all, 14 feet 4 inches beam, 8 feet 
3 inches draft, and was built in 1905 by C. F. 
Brown, of Pulpit Harbor, Me. She has a large 
cabin and two comfortable staterooms, and is 
a staunch and able cruising yacht. 
The Hollis Burgess Yacht Agency has also 
sold the following boats: The 21-foot knock¬ 
about Gosling, owned by Robert Saltonstall, of 
Boston, to a prominent Boston yachtsman, who 
is putting a cabin on her; the Sonder boat Sally 
VIII., owned by Dwight F. Davis, of St. Louis, 
to C. E. Hellier, of Boston, and the 21-foot 
knockabout Water Lily, owned by W. H. Shaw, 
of Quincy, to William J. Aylward, of Boston. 
Trial of Westward. 
Alexander S. Cochran’s new schooner West¬ 
ward, built by Herreshoff, was tried last Sun¬ 
day on Narragansett Bay. The yacht, with her 
owner, builder and Capt. Barr on board, sailed 
about thirty miles in a fresh northwest wind. 
She used lower sails only, but made a good 
showing and pleased all interested. She did well 
on the wind and appeared to be perfectly bal¬ 
anced. 
On Monday the work of preparing the yacht 
for her voyage across the Atlantic started. The 
comparatively thin topmasts were lowered, the 
bowsprit and main boom were unshipped, and 
these spars, together with her club topsail spars 
and spinnaker pole, will be shipped with her 
racing rigging and sails by the steamship St. 
Paul to Southampton. The yacht will use a 
small cruising rig for her trip across the ocean. 
She will sail with a crew of thirty men on 
board on April 20, and it is hoped that she will 
reach Southampton the first week in May, and 
then speedily be fitted out and tried for her 
campaign in foreign waters. 
Edgewood Y. C. 18-Footers. 
The Edgewood Y. C. is to arrange a series 
of weekly races for the iS-footers, and it is 
probable that these races will be sailed over 
short courses in the evenings. 
Commodore Dutee W. Flint, of the club, has 
offered a cup for a series of championship races 
to be held under the auspices of the club and 
open only to 18-footers. These races will have 
nothing to do with the evening races. Three 
races will probably be held, but the dates have 
not been fixed as yet. 
Vice-Commodore Markham offers a $50 cup 
to be raced for by 18-footers. The regatta com¬ 
mittee has not yet decided under what condi¬ 
tions this cup will be raced for. 
Harvey Flint’s crack 18-footer Bat has been 
put in better condition than she has been in 
years and is expected to develop great speed 
this season. 
The Edgewood Y. C. expects to hold a moon¬ 
light race this summer, starting at Edgewood 
and going around Prudence Island. It will be 
open to all classes and the over all measurement 
will be used. 
Trial of Aloha. 
__ The new bark-rigged yacht Aloha, built for 
Commodore Arthur Curtis James, of the New 
York Y. C., from designs by Clinton H. Crane, 
was tried under sail and power last Monday. 
This yacht has been built by the Fore River 
Shipbuilding Co., at Quincy, Mass. Commo¬ 
dore James, Mr. Crane and a party of friends 
were on board during the trial, and were 
greatly pleased with the performance of the 
yacht. In about ten days Aloha will come to 
New York and be ready to be put in commis¬ 
sion. She is a very handsome addition to the 
fleet of the New York Y. C., and will make a 
very imposing flagship. 
Sale of Nourmahal. 
The steam yacht Nourmahal has been sold by 
Col. John Jacob Astor to Pierre Paul Demers, 
who was formerly United States Consul at 
Bahia, Brazil. The sale was made through the 
office of Tams. Lemoine & Crane, and that firm 
is superintending the fitting out of the yacht 
for a cruise to Brazil, where Mr. Demers has 
many interests. 
Nourmahal is one of the best known of the 
American-built yachts. She was built at Wil¬ 
mington, Del., in 1884, and was then rigged as 
a barkentine. Some years later this rig was 
changed to that of a three-masted schooner. 
The yacht is 247 feet over all, 227 feet on the 
waterline. 30 feet beam, 20 feet deep and 14 feet 
3 inches draft. Her gross tonnage is 768.97.
