FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 25, 1910. 
New York C. C. 
The heavy squall of Saturday last caused se¬ 
rious trouble with the yachts that sailed in the 
regatta of the New \ ork Canoe Club on 
Gravesend Bay. It was the first race of the 
series for the championships and a good sized 
fleet started. 
The starting line was off the home of the 
New York Canoe Club at Ulmer Park. The 
regatta committee was made up of L. S. Tie- 
mann, chairman; F. Spedel, E. Fishel and F. 
Plummer. The committee boat was the auxil¬ 
iary sloop Carrie M. Potter, the property of 
Captain Henry Bateman. At the starting hour 
the wind was of a good whole sail character 
and coming from west by south. 
Just as the dinghies of the New York Canoe 
Club, the last division of the regatta, were 
crossing the starting line the storm swept down 
upon the racing craft. 
When the gale struck the racing yacht Bull 
Finch, the property of Maurel and Roloff of 
the New York Canoe Club, was just crossing 
the starting line. The boat was capsized and 
her owners thrown into the water. They clung 
to the bottom of the (pverturned craft. Al- 
though'the seas were rolling like Atlantic break¬ 
ers, E. Fishel and F. Plummer of the regatta 
committee put off in an open launch to rescue 
the unlucky Corinthians. 
Just as they got Maurel and Roloff on board 
the launch the committee boat dragged her 
anchors and started out to sea. Able work 
by those on board the boat enabled the com¬ 
mittee to reach a sheltered anchorage in the 
lee of the Bensonhurst bulkhead, only, how¬ 
ever, after being pitched and tossed for more 
than an hour in the waves. 
Bull Finch was not the only boat to be cap¬ 
sized. F. L. Bllingham’s Skylark, E. Zimmer¬ 
man’s Pike and Bobs, the property of R. E. 
Speir, all of the knockabout division, were 
upset by the blow. The three boats were off 
the anchorage of the Atlantic Y. C. 
Boats from the schooner Laska, the prop¬ 
erty of former Commodore R. P. Doremus, 
rescued the crews of both Skylark and Pike. 
All were brought safely to shore, none the 
worse for their wetting. The sloops Joy and 
M and F were not as fortunate as the capsized 
craft. Both were driven on the shore off Nor¬ 
ton’s Point and badly damaged by the pound¬ 
ing.

Boston Y. C. 
The open regatta of the Boston Y. C., sched¬ 
uled for Friday morning, June 17, had to be 
postponed until the afternoon because of light 
winds. The yachts were finally sent away at 
2:35 p - M - The races were sailed off Hull. The 
wind was still light and coming east of north, 
but they were able to make a race. Amoret was 
again the winner in the 31-rating class, but the 
conditions were so fluky that the race did not 
count for much. The elapsed times:

was only six miles long. Several times during
