San Francisco Yachting. 
San Francisco, July 2.—The race for the 
San Francisco perpetual challenge cup took 
place here according to schedule on June iy, 
the Corinthian Y. C. of this city, refusing to 
allow the postponement asked by the South 
Coast Y. C.’s representatives, and the cup was 
successfully defended by Commodore Frank 
Stone’s Presto. There was some discussion 
in regard to the postponement, the South¬ 
ern club making the plea that their boat 
was in a damaged condition from the 
stormy trip up the coast, and that they de 
sired time to become familiar with local con 
ditions. It was decided that the damage to the 
challenger Mah-Pe was not of a nature to in¬ 
terfere with her racing ability, and that, as all 
arrangements had been made and invitations 
issued, there was no sufficient reason for the 
postponement. The day was ideal from the 
San Franciscans’ point of view, though the wind 
was a. little stronger than the southerners were 
accustomed to. The start was made from 
Meigg’s Wharf at 1:30, Presto being first over 
the line. The first half of the race was very 
close, but after rounding the north stakeboat on 
the reach from Goat Island shoal buoy Mah- 
Pe carried away her jib halyards, which handi¬ 
capped her throughout the balance of the race. 
It took a minute and a half to get the jib set 
again, which gave Presto quite a lead. Presto 
finished in 2.01.28, and Mah-Pe in 2.06.23. Giv¬ 
ing the local boat her time allowance of 5m. 
and 39s., on account of her smaller size, she 
won by 10m. 34s. If the accident had not oc¬ 
curred, the finish would have been extremely 
close, but with the time allowance it is believed 
that Presto would have had the better of it 
under any circumstances. An excellent race 
was sailed by both skippers, the local crew 
showing somewhat greater skill in the stiff 
breeze. As the perpetual challenge cup is raced 
for but once a year, it will remain in posses¬ 
sion of the Corinthians until next summer. 
The San Francisco Y. C. race from a point 
near the Presidio buoy around the San Fran¬ 
cisco lightship on June 27 was won by the sloop 
Monsoon, belonging to F. G. Phillips, giving 
him permanent possession of the Shreve trophy 
cup. Ten boats were entered for the race, but 
only seven started, and of these the Chispa 
withdrew shortly after the start. Monsoon, 
with a handicap of 25m., finished in 4.42.55, 
and defeated Annie, the second boat, by 10.57, 
corrected time, Annie having 14m. handicap 
Aggie was the only scratch boat entered, and 
failed to take part in the race, while Mary was 
handicapped at 40m., and was the last boat in. 
Nixie was third, the schooner Martha fourth, 
and Neva fifth. Monsoon had shown herself 
the best light-weather boat in the club on 
previous occasions, but in this event she proved 
her ability in all kinds of weather. There was 
a 25-mile wind blowing at times, but the winner 
made a good showing through the course. 
While some of the larger boats made better 
time on the run in, Monsoon easily took the 
lead on the wind. 
Among the events scheduled for July 5 is the 
race of the San Francisco Y. C. to be sailed 
from Vallejo to Sausalito. The handicaps have 
just been announced, Aggie being on the 
scratch, while Surprise is the limit boat, with an 
hour handicap. Seventeen boats are entered for 
the race. 
The Aeolian Y. C. race for the Rousseau cup 
was sailed June 20 over a 15-mile course, start¬ 
ing at Meigg’s Wharf. Sixteen boats were 
entered, Speedwell starting at scratch and Iola 
being handicapped at 3m. The cup was taken 
by Iola, belonging to L. T. Woods, finishing in 
2.21.50. Speedwell came second and Dawn 
third. 
The first of the series of three inter¬ 
national races for the Alexandra cun at 
Seattle, Wash., will be run July 3. and the 
challenger has been named as Spirit II., of 
Seattle. Ted Geary and his crew have been 
busy for the last two weeks getting Spirit II. 
tuned up, and while he is not saying much about 
his boat, the Seattle people are confident that 
he will get back the cup from the Canadian de¬ 
fender Alexandra in the first two races. 
A number of Pacific Motor Boat Club men 
from San Francisco, together with several from 
Vallejo and Sacramento, made a trip up the 
Sacramento River about two weeks ago to at¬ 
tend the water carnival at Colusa, Cal. While 
they had a stiff current to fight most of the 
way, they pronounce the trip above Sacramento 
one of the finest in the country. 
The Pacific Motor Boat Club has made great 
preparations for its regatta and races at Belve¬ 
dere on July 5. Four classes of power boats 
will be entered in the contest, and the entries 
will include some of the swiftest boats of the 
coast. The first race, over a 5-mile course, 
will be for boats owned by the club, with a cup 
for prize. The second event will be for boats 
not exceeding 40 feet in length, with speed 
limited to 18 miles an hour, the first prize to be 
a searchlight. The third race will be for cabin 
cruisers, and the last for 25-foot boats, with a 
speed limit of 9 miles an hour. The judges will 
be F. W. Boole, H. W. Tuc'key and E. S. 
Purdy. 
Entries have been completed for the rowing 
events to be held July 5 at the foot of Van 
Ness avenue, in which practically all the rowing 
clubs around the bay will participate. 
Seattle motor boat enthusiasts look for a big 
treat during the next week, when a series of 
races will be held on Lake Washington, at 
which some new speed records are expected. 
Among the leading boats are Pacer, built at 
Brewerton, N. Y., for Eddie Roesch, of Seattle; 
J. B. Brown’s Lawanna; Wolf II., owned by 
Johnnie Wolf, of Portland, Ore.; Fighting Bob. 
of Eureka, Cal., and Konocti, owned by Prent 
Gray, of San Francisco. 
The Seattle boat Soya, operated by Edgar 
Ames, won the long distance power boat race 
from Vancouver, B. C., to Seattle, on June 30. 
making the time in 21.31.05. over twenty-four 
competing boats. The American contingent 
landed twelve winners over four British 
Columbia vessels that competed. The Van¬ 
couver boat, Alan Bee, upon which the Can¬ 
adians depended, had bad luck, her engine 
breaking down on the final run to Tacoma. 
While the weather was more severe than was 
expected, fourteen boats arrived within the limit 
of thirty hours allowed for the winner. The 
Tacoma boat, Sacagawea, beat Ethelde, of Se¬ 
attle, by less than 5m. 
Fred Dorr took his new yacht, Yankee Girl, 
to San Diego recently and had her thoroughly 
overhauled and cleaned. She was handled on 
the way down the coast by Capt. Perkins, who 
sailed the Lurline to Honolulu last year. 
Yankee Girl is now back in San Pedro Harbor 
and will probably be used during the coming 
season in the races and cruises of the South 
Coast Y. C. She was built at San Diego last 
year and is rated as being one of the finest of 
the large yachts in southern waters.
