The first yacht race round Long Island was 
started from the old New York Yacht Club 
anchorage off Hoboken at 10 a. m., June 24, 
1858, not quite four years after that club made 
its first cruise to Newport. Four schooners, 
the Haze, H. W. McVickar; Silvie, W. A. Steb- 
bins; Favorita, A. C. Kingsland; Widgeon, Wil¬ 
liam Edgar, and five sloops, Undine, L. W. 
Jerome; Rebecca, James Gordon Bennett. Jr.; 
Madgie, afterward the famous schooner Magic, 
R. F. Loper; Una, W. Butler Duncan, ana 
Minnie, S. W. Thomas, started. The yac 
had a beat to the lower bay. a reach to 1 
Hook, a run to Montauk Point and baffli 
winds down the Sound. The sloop Rebci 
finished first off the Government pier at F, 
Schuyler, her time being 38 hours 41 minut 
but she was ruled out for going through PI. 
Gut, which was contrary to the instructio 
and first place was given to Minnie, win 
time was 43 hours 12 minutes and was foil 
in order at the finish. The race was for 
sweepstakes of $50 contributed by owners 
yachts in each class. 
The second race was sailed twenty-six ye, 
later, with fourteen yachts, six schooners, f 
first class sloops and three second class in 
lists. Five hundred dollar cups were the pri 
for schooners and first class sloops, and a $. 
cup for second class sloops. The start v 
made off Fort Wadsworth on the afternoon 
June 16. 1884. The finish was between Exe 
tion Rock and the light on Sands Point. PI 
Gut was not barred. The participating yac, 
were schooners Grayling, L. A. Fish; Monta 
S. R. Platt; Fortuna, Henry S. Hovey; Este 
James D. Smith; Ruth, H. Hathaway; Fie 
wing, Robert S. Elliott. First class sIo< 
Fanny, Prince and Whiteley; Gracie, Joseph 
Earle; Hildegarde, Herman Oelrichs: lie 
Arthur Padelford; Wenonah, James Stillm 
Second class sloops Vixen, F. C. Lawrer 
Jr.; Athlon. Dr. John C. Barron; Oriva, C 
nelius Smith Lee. 
The race was started in a moderate weste 
wind which gave the yachts a reach out of 
bay and a run up the Long Island shore. T< 
ard morning the wind fell light, though 
until the Ruth had lost her bowsprit in a p 
After daylight the vachts drifted in a flat ca 
with Montauk Point in plain sight to the e: 
ward. The schooner Montauk led round 
Point about 9 a. nr., with the sloop Fann; 
few cable lengths astern. Gracie practic; 
drifted round with the flood tide at i:io p. 
and left several of the racers still on the oce 
After 4 o'clock the fleet got a spanking sot 
erly breeze which sent it bowling down 
Sound, but that died out before midnight 
the yachts encountered light and baffling wi 
during the following morning and foreno 
Fanny finished at 11:44:08 a. m., her time be 
43.36.50. The schooner Grayling was second 
finish, time 43.37.54, with Gracie third, ti 
44.06.45. 
The race grew out of the rivalry betw 
Fanny and Gracie. The former had wor 
$1,000 match in the preceding November ; 
the race around the island was made to p 
the latter*- a chance in heavy weather, for w) 
she was supposed to be better adapted, 
the heavy weather did not come, and so Fa;! 
won again. Grayling was an easy winner 
the schooner class, while Fortuna surprij 
everybody by wresting second place from M 
tank, the crack schooner of the day. Vi> 
a persistent winner in the hands of Frank L 
rence, took the cup for second class sloops. 
The finish was taken by a committee of 1 
Larchmont Yacht Club, then in its youth, de 
tized for the occasion. The committee c 
sisted of Comodore Augustine Monroe. 
Commodore Charles E. Jenkins, T. R. Fish 
F. W. Flint. T. B. Brown, Francis M. Si 
and William C. Stewart. Justice Scott is 1 
of the few members of that commit 
still living.
