Beverly Y. C. 
Twenty-five boats participated in the fifth 
irinthian regatta of the Beverly Y. C. off 
lings Neck, and the weather conditions were 
»al for an afternoon’s sport. The wind was 
i-ady from the northeast and the sea smooth 
rough to suit the fussiest yachtsman on the 
y. Tosh Crane’s Lethe was an easy winner 
i the 21-foot class, doing better work before 
U wind than any of her rivals and holding her 
lid on the beat home over a 1354-mile course. 
Charles Harding added another victory to his 
It in Pollv, but was pushed all the way. The 
-footers furnished some great racing, with only 
,-ie trailer, Snail. Young Bob Emmons 3d was 
ie happy winner in the dory class after a close 
lush with the Taylor boat No. 8. The sum-

Yachting in the Pacific. 
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 6 .—Editor Forest 
id Stream: While there have been no great 
tchting events in the bay during the past few 
eeks with the exception of the race recently 
eld by the Corinthian Y. C., Sunday cruises 
ave been in order, and a larger number of 
r hite wings have been seen on the bay than 
as ordinarily been the case. 1 he present su m- 
ler season has been one of the most favorable 
ver experienced here for yachting, as there 
as been practically none of the customary 
tmmer fog or winds. River cruises have been 
favorite week-end diversion, and on dates 
i/hen there were no club events, many yachts 
ave made their way up the river, and some 
ave gone as far as Sacramento. 
The Corinthian Y. C.’s handicap race for 
he Hammersmith trophy, held recently, was a 
lost successful event, and was won by Chas. E. 
Tiller’s yacht Yankee by a margin of 4m. 56s. 
he little sloop Pronto, ably handled by Eddie 
iagar, was the principal rival to Yankee, and 
his boat succeeded in rounding the buoy first, 
nit on the home reach the big boat caught the 
iireeze with her great spread of canvas and 
ore through the water like a witch. The con- 
estants in the race were Yankee, Pronto, 
vleteor, Freda. Neptune, Ruby, Presto, iEolus 
ind Olga. This race was the first to be held 
or the Hammersmith trophy, the gift of John 
Hammersmith to the club, and regarded as one 
of the most beautiful trophies to be raced for 
his year. It is in the form of a bronze clock in 
he center of a tiller wheel, also of bronze, and 
is thus a useful as well as highly ornamental 
piece of work. 
The yawl Iola has just returned from a rather 
exciting cruise down the coast as far as San 
Pedro. The start was made from San Fran¬ 
cisco on July 3, and the run to Santa Cruz 
was made in the fast time of ten hours. _ The 
run to Santa Barbara was made without mishap 
in thirty-three hours. From Santa Barbara on, 
calm weather was experienced, and it took three 
days to reach San Pedro from there. _ After 
spending several days there the return trip was 
commenced and here the strenuous part of the 
voyage began. It was the intention to go up 
the coast in the tow of a steamer, but when 
well out a storm arose and the towing line 
parted. It was impossible to connect again 
with the steamer with the heavy seas running, 
so the yawl rode out the storm alone. When 
about three days out, a steam schooner came 
alongside, and the yawl was brought into port 
none the worse for her experience. A. P. B. 
Sold by the Sheriff. 
New Orleans, Aug. g.-—Editor Forest and 
Stream: The sheriff of the United States Dis¬ 
trict Court, of this city, Monday, Aug. 9, sold 
at auction the steam ocean-going yacht Radha 
and two gasolene launches, Zeta and Willow. 
These boats were purchased by Nathan Stern, 
of New Orleans, who paid $3,000 for Radha and 
$300 each for the other boats. 
These craft were sold on a writ of seizure 
based on a suit of J. G. Powell against C. C. 
Buck, the boats being the property of Mr. 
Buck, of Baltimore. It was announced at the 
sale that W. G. Coyle, of this city, had a lien 
of $5,000 against Radha, and the purchaser 
bought the property subject to this lien. Radha, 
which was brought down from Baltimore by C. 
C. Buck a year or so ago, is easily worth 
$20,000, it is reckoned, having cost much more 
than that to build and equip. She is of 134 
tons gross and 94 tons net burden, measures 
140 feet over all, has 20 feet beam and 8.7 feet 
draft. She is a thoroughly modern craft in 
every respect, an up-to-date ocean-going yach* - , 
her cabins furnished in mahogany with nickel 
trimmings. For months past she has been tied 
up on the Algiers side of the river, opposite the 
Canal street ferry landing. 
The gasolene launch Zeta measures 40.6 feet, 
has 9 feet beam and 3 feet draft. She is 
equipped with a 25-horsepower Wolverine en¬ 
gine and is worth a deal more money than was 
paid for her. The launch Willow is 30 feet 
over all, with 7.5 feet beam and 30 inches draft.

Warning to Yachtsmen. 
West Park, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Editor Forest 
and Stream: Yachtsmen going up to Lake 
Champlain ought to be warned of the unmarked 
rock in the channel, just below the sloop lock 
at the Troy dam. This is a dangerous rock at 
some stages of the tide, and every year several 
cruising yachts or motor boats come to griet 
on it. By keeping in mid channel—or even on 
the port side of mid channel—going up, this 
rock is easily avoided. It is on the Troy side, 
about two hundred feet below the lock, off the 
Troy docks, where one would expect to find 
good water. Julian Burroughs.
