[May 7, 1910. 
ducements will be offered to the boats that race 
on the south shore of Long Island to take part 
in the race week, and it is expected that the 
one-design classes of the Cederhurst, the I slip, 
the Heliport Bay and the South Shore yacht 
clubs all will take part in the big regatta. 
During race week the third series lor the 
famous Thompson trophy for Class Q yachts 
will be sailed. This is not the only special 
trophv that will be up for competition during 
the week. The Crescent Athletic Club has re¬ 
ceived a cup from Sir Thomas Lipton, and this 
trophy will be raced for by Class S boats dur¬ 
ing the Atlantic series. By combining the 
events the regatta committee of both clubs be¬ 
lieves that it will bring together the finest fleet 
of S boats that ever has raced on the Atlantic 
^The Lipton cup race is not the only Crescent 
Athletic Club regatta that will be sailed off the 
Atlantic Y. C. this summer. The New Moon 
Club will start two more of its races off the 
dock of the Sea Gate organization, one on 
Saturday, June 25, and the other on Saturday,

Commodore George Mercer, Jr., of the 
American Y. C„ last year offered a $200 trophy 
to the yacht of the American one-design 21- 
footers that scored the highest percentage 1111 
the races sailed on Long Island Sound. 11 
prize has been won by the Cliphora, owned by 
Clifford D. Mallory. 
Seventeen races in all were sailed, commenc¬ 
ing with the regatta of the American Y. C., 
Tuly 3 and ending with that of the Manhasset 
Bay Y. C., Sept. 18. The percentage system of 
points adopted by the Yacht Racing Association 
of Long Island Sound was used. The Ameri¬ 
can Y C. 21-foot class was built by members 
of the club in 1901 and originally consisted of 
nine boats. Last season was the first time after 
an interval of several years that the boats again 
sailed as a class, six of the nine boats taking 
part. Cricket, sailed by W. W. Swan, did not 
qualify, not having taken part in a sufficient 
number of races, owing to Mr. Swans time 
being largely occupied in sailing the Sonder 
class winner, Joyette, in races off Marblehead.
