[July 17, 190 9 - 
Yachtsmen s Club Ocean Race. 
The Yachtsmen’s Club, of Philadelphia 
arranged some ocean races which were held off 
Reach Haven on July 11. There was a fine old 
mix up. and it will take a Philadelphia lawyer 
a long time to figure out the winners. There 
were seven starters in the motor boat race. A 
dense fog enveloped the New Jersey coast, and 
the committee boat, the sloop Marchioness, 
fetched up on a mud bank while on her way to 
establish the finishing line off the bell buoy off 
New Inlet A launch had to put out to make 
the line. The men on the racers were looking 
for Marchioness and failed to pick up the launch 
in the fog. One skipper anchored his ship as 
near as possible within sound of the bell, while 
others kept moving cautiously up and down the 
beach until the fog lifted about 10 o clock_ 
The outcome is that Lady Maud and Lark¬ 
spur appear as rival claimants for first honors, 
while Elizabeth, which came home more than 
an hour ahead of all her competitors, did not 
cross the line at all. Larkspur came up to> the 
nier with a broom at her masthead, but does 
not appear to have been officially timed, so a 
more promising claimant of victory on the face 
of the returns seems to be Lady Maud, which 
was officially timed, though she finished some 
distance astern of Larkspur. ,. 
There is no dispute, however, as to the result 
in the auxiliary class. In this there were only 
two starters, and the winner w.as Mira, owned 
bv R L. Young, of the Island Heights Y. L. 
The other boat was Mabel, Commodore Edson, 
of the Corinthian Yacht and Gun Club. 
The race, which is the first of an annual series 
of ocean contests from Beach Haven, were 
planned and worked up by Commodore C. b. 
Street, of the Yachtsmens Club of Philadelphia, 
and sailed under the management of the Cor¬ 
inthian Yacht and Gun Club. Twelve yachts 
were started yesterday, three sail yachts at 
11:35 a. m., two auxiliaries at 2:30 p. m. and 
seven motor boats at 6:05 P. m.

that will take part in the Bay Ridge-Marble- 
head race, started in the Capital-to-Coast lace 
of the Albany Y. C. on July 5. L hey left 
Albany at 4:30 p. m., and the finishing line was 
off the Colonial Y. C. house, New York, 118.2 
nautical miles away. The race was 'won by S. 
W. Granbery’s Irene II., which finished first, 
having made the journey in 14I1. 25m. She won, 
too, on corrected time. Percy Jones Nomad 
was second.boat in. Snapshot, the largest of 
the fleet, ran on a sandbar off Cold Bed Light, 
and was hung up for two hours. This accident 
ruined her chances.

time to each of the others. These allowances 
were: To Irene II., 35m. 45s.; to Nomad, 38m.

The Fourth in Eastern Waters. 
Many yacht clubs in Eastern waters cele¬ 
brated the Fourth with regattas, some open 
and some club affairs, which proved to be very 
interesting. 
CORINTHIAN Y. C. 
Thirty-nine yachts started in the open 
regatta of the Corinthian Y. C. off Marble¬ 
head and the new 38-rater Odysseus II. made 
her first appearance. That yacht went East to 
race while her class competitor, Dorello. c;.me 
to New York. There was a good sailing breeze 
from the northwest which grew light later in 
the afternoon but freshened up again with a 
sharp squall. Seventeen of the Sonder class 
raced and Crooner was again a winner. The 
yachts went over a course with the windward 
leg from Tinkar’s Island to Half Way Rock. 
Sally X. and Skeezix got away first with the 
others closely bunched. Sally X. turned the 
first mark in the lead but Demon passed her 
on the second leg and Sally X dropped back 
to seventh place. Crooner, Eel and Sally X. 
fought it out on the windward leg and Crooner 
won from Eel by 54 seconds. 
Odysseus II. raced against the Bar Harbor 
30-footers Orissa and she was beaten but chiefly 
through the fluky conditions that prevailed. 
Orissa led at the start but was soon passed by 
Odysseus II. On the windward leg it was a 
game of see-saw and Orissa won by 16 seconds 
elapsed time and 6 minutes 8 seconds corrected 
time. In the 31-foot class Timandra and Wian- 
no were beaten by Onda II., owing to the 
fluky conditions. The summaries:
