Nutmeg Wins Long Race. 
The race of the Atlantic and New Rochelle 
icht clubs for sailing craft, which started from 
ea Gate on July 31, was a most successful 
vent. It was won by Nutmeg, owned by Allen 
. Jones, of the Boston Y. C. This sloop has 
one well in many similar contests, and in June 
on the Block Island race of the New Yor'c 
. C. The story of the start was printed in the 
jst issue of Forest and Stream, but the yachts 
nished too late to catch that edition. 
They started in a light northeast wind at 
K15 on Saturday morning. This wind carried 
le yachts outside Coney Island Point, and then 
ouled to southeast, so that they had an easy 
: :ach to the Southwest Spit. Nutmeg had the 
ad at that point. Crescent, the second boat, 
ood out to sea on the port tack, while Nut- 
eg took the starboard tack in toward Long 
dand. The tide was running in, and while 
utmeg was set to leeward. Crescent, by lee 
owing it, got a big lift, so that when the two 
jchts drew toward each other off Jone’s Inlet, 
rescent was half a mile to windward, 
.hese two fought it out all the way. At 8 
■clock in the evening, when off East Hampton, 
hen they again crossed tacks, Crescent had 
ie lead by about a cable’s length. Then they 
)lit tacks, Crescent standing out to sea and 
utmeg holding in to the beach. 
All night the wind was easterly. At daybreak 
fontauk Point light was in sight, but far ahead, 
id it was not until 1:45 in the afternoon that 
iutmeg passed the light, and then she was 
ading Crescent by about 10m. Interim was 
lird boat at 2:10, Intrepid passed the light at 
o’clock, Fearless at 4:30 and Ramallah at 4:40. 
•ictory was about five miles astern of Ramallah. 
fter passing the light, the leading boats got a 
tore northerly wind, which freshened about 
o’clock. Nutmeg was then off Gardiner’s 
dand, and she started for home with a bone 
1 her teeth. At 5:15 o’clock she passed 
trough Plum Gut with a fair tide and leading 
md. At 7 o’clock she was off Horton’s Point, 
rescent was still second, but far astern. They 
in up the Sound all Monday night with a fresh 
md, and at 1:30 encountered a sharp north- 
ist squall. Nutmeg crossed the finishing line 
. 4 :i 4 : 39 - Crescent was the second boat to 
ush at 4:43:10. Interim was third, and won 
“cond prize. Crescent got the third prize and 
ictory the fourth. The summaries:

Sonder Class Trials. 
The trial races for the Sonder class yachts 
will begin next Monday morning off Marble¬ 
head. These trials will be managed by the com¬ 
mittee of the Eastern Y. C., of which Henry 
Howard is chairman, and will last until Satur¬ 
day. They will be even more interesting than 
the races which were sailed in 1906, and the 
new yachts have shown up so well in prelim¬ 
inary races that the contests are sure to be 
close. In order that the racers may have every 
opportunity to show what they can de, the com¬ 
mittee has decided to start them in divisions of 
four or five at intervals of ten minutes. This 
will prevent crowding and blanketing, and after 
the first few races, some of the yachts will be 
eliminated and the winners of the different 
divisions will race together. In this way the 
three best to represent this country in the 
contests with the German yachts will be 
selected. 
President Taft Cup. 
President Taft, early in the year, pre¬ 
sented a cup to the Toledo Y. C. for a race 
between catboats, and the first races for this 
trophy are to be sailed on August 23, 24 and 
26, on Maumee Bay, Toledo. The yachts eligi¬ 
ble are known as the Inter Lake Yachting- 
Association Restricted catboats. Several -boats 
have been built from designs by eastern naval 
architects. 
The deed of gift of this trophy executed bv 
President Taft is as follows: 
Know all men by these presents, That I, 
William H. Taft, President of the United 
States of America, for the purpose of encour¬ 
aging proficiency in the art of sailing upon 
the Great Lakes, by means of popular contests 
in yachting, do hereby give to the Toledo 
Yacht Club of the city of Toledo, State of 
Ohio, United States of America, the silver cup
