New York Y. C. 
The New York Y. C. tried a new programme 
last week. Since the club withdrew from the 
Lower Bay its regattas on the Sound have 
been unsatisfactory. The winds on this end 
of the Sound are so fickle that yachtsmen own¬ 
ing large vessels do not care to race there and 
as the club does not recognize yachts smaller 
than 30 feet length there have been few entries. 
The New York Y. C. is not alone in this re¬ 
spect. Although the Larchmont Y. C. started 
86 yachts in its annual regatta on the 5th only 
seven were above the 31 rating class. The 
Larchmont club caters to the small yachts and 
its regattas are open. The regatta committee 
in its efforts to boom racing in the club ar¬ 
ranged a programme that gave the owners of 
the cruising yachts an opportunity. They have 
long been clamoring for more races but when 
they had an opportunity their yachts were 
missing. The schedule called for two races 
through the Sound, the annual regatta to be 
sailed off Newport, and at that port the New¬ 
port Yacht Racing Association arranged a re¬ 
gatta for all classes. 
The race from Glen Cove to Newport was 
a pleasant sail. Sixteen yachts took part and 
of these four were auxiliaries that raced for 
Aloha cups offered by Mrs. Arthur Curtiss 
James. Atlantic, winner of the ocean race, 
Aloha, a cruising yacht, Enchantress, built in 
1875, raced in one class, and Iris had a sailover 
in the other. 
Four schooners started, Corona, Lasca, Sea 
Fox and Eclipse, and in the sloop classes were 
Aurora, Istalena, Weetamoe, Affair, Dorwina, 
Irondequoit and Dorello. Unfortunately the 
owner of Dorello could not be on board and 
as there was no club representative she simply 
sailed through the courtesy of the committee 
and could not compete for prizes. 
The wind was very light at the start and 
came east by north, so that the yachts had 
windward work. They made little headway but 
with the fair tide were able to drift towards 
Newport and scattered all over the Sound. 
The wind shifted several times during the after¬ 
noon and evening so that all sails were used 
and it was not until about 3.30 o’clock that 
there was any breeze worth speaking of. Then 
it freshened and came northwest. This carried 
them to Point Judith and there, after getting 
in a soft spot for a short time, it changed again 
to west and they crossed the finishing line in 
a fresh wind. Corona led the fleet at the finish, 
Aurora was next and Atlantic led in her class. 
Istalena hit a rock off Point Judith and went 
to Bristol to haul out for examination. It was 
found that no damage had been done. The

Newport, July 9.—The schooner Queen 
joined the fleet before the Newport Yacht Rac¬ 
ing Association regatta was sailed, and the 
presence of that yacht, which had been hur¬ 
riedly put in commission added considerably to 
the attractions of the sport. It had been feared 
that Queen would not be in commission but 
she is out now and if Mr. Brewster will bring 
out Elmina the racing on the cruise in the 
schooner classes will be of the best. There 
were nine starters in this regatta and the com¬ 
mittee were guests on former Commodore El- 
bridge T. Gerry’s Electra. That yacht has been 
the committee steamer in many a stirring race 
when big fleets of fast schooners and sloops 
competed. 
Early in the morning there was a nice sail¬ 
ing wind from the northwest but that soon 
blew out and there was a delay of an hour 
until a new wind from the southwest came in 
and that steadily increased in strength and 
held true. The course selected was 38 miles 
in length, the yachts going first to a mark off 
West Island, then a turn to windward to a 
mark off Block Island and then a run home. 
The small sloops were sent away at 11.10, the 
65-footers followed five minutes later and the: 
the schooners started at 11.25. To West Islan 
they had the wind on the starboard bean 
Dorello led across the line, followed by Dor 
wina, Affair and Irondequoit. Aurora led th 
next class with Istalena on her weather quai 
ter and Winsome a close third. Queen had th 
better of Corona in the schooner class. Auror 
sailed well and soon drew through the fleet c 
smaller sloops and the times at the first mar 
were: Aurora, 11.57.30; Istalena, 11.58.35; Wit 
some, 11.58.51; Affair, 11.59.26; Queen, 12.02.21 
Dorwina, 12.03.36; Dorello, 12.03.40; Coron; 
12.04.57; Irondequoit, 12.09.09. 
It was 18 miles to windward to the next tun 
The 65-footers made a fine fight. They hel 
in towards Point Judith, Istalena being th 
last of the trio to take the port tack, and whe 
she met the other two she was well to wine 
ward, but she lost some of this advantag 
through allowing Aurora and Winsome to ket' 
off on the starboard tack so that when the 
turned the mark all were close together. T 1 
times were: Queen, 228.54; Istalena, 2.31.5. 
Aurora, 2.33.01; Winsome, 2.33.44; Coron 
2.48.50; Affair, 2.52.21. 
Spinnakers were carried to starboard for tl 
run of 13 miles home. Aurora caught I staler 
and seemed to have the race won, but befoi 
Aurora could get away from her rival Istalei 
luffed and a pretty battle followed so that tl 
two yachts ran far off their course. Win 
about a quarter of a mile from the fini: 
Aurora took in her spinnaker to gybe and . 
the boom went over her topmast snapped ai 
the balloon jib topsail fell into the water. 1st 
lena gybed safely and managed to cross tl : 
finishing line 18 seconds in the lead. Quec 
was an easy winner in the schooner cla: 
Dorello won in the small sloop class. Alta 
beat her 29 minutes 4 seconds elapsed time, b 
had to allow 31 minutes 31 seconds.

Newport, July 10.—There were ten starts 
in the annual regatta of the New York Y. , 
and in one class, that for one-design Class 
yachts, the finish was close and exciting, Aurc 
winning by 4 seconds. 1 he course was fre 
Brenton’s Reef Light Ship around Bio 
Island and back to the light ship, 42 nauti< 
miles. The wind was southwest so that t. 
yachts had windward work for 24 miles a 
then after a short reach it was down the wi 
to the finish. The small sloops were sent aw 
at 11.40. Affair crossed the line first on tl 
port tack, Irondequoit followed on the st; 
board tack and then followed Dorello and D> 
wina on the port tack. On the next sigi 
Istalena led. She hit the line with the sigi 
and was on the port tack. Aurora crossed n< 
on the starboard tack and Winsome third 
the 'port tack. Queen led the schooners, f 
lowed by Corona and Eclipse. Dorello, In 
dequoit and Affair held off shore and the o- 
ers stood in towards Narragansett. It v) 
close work in each class on the wind and 1; 
times taken as they passed the bell buoy 
Block Island, 14 miles away, were: Istale. 
12.33.25; Queen, 12.35.49; Aurora, 12.37 
Winsome, 12.43.35. Queen then worked iff 
the lead and Aurora weathered Istalena. T 
times taken at South East Light, the end | 
the windward work, were: Queen, I-S 9 * *
