[Aug. 28, 1909. 
minutes apart, and that interval was just long 
■enough to allow for shifts in the wind, so that 
the speed of the yachts in the two divisions 
could not be properly compared. Only one 
race was sailed. They were started in the 
second, but the wind died out when they were 
on their way home and the race was called off. 
The first race was over a triangular course, 
two miles to a leg. with the last to windward. 
Ellen led across the line in the first division, 
followed by Demon, Bandit, Spokane III., 
Vim, Alarm, Bessie and Sally X. Vim was at 
the windward end and Ellen at the leeward 
end of the line. Ellen leu on the reach, with 
Bandit second and Demon third. On the 
second leg the wind backed so that they carried 
spinnakers, and on this leg Ellen retained her 
lead and Vim took second place. Beating 
home, Vim got quite a lift, but she could not 
catch Ellen, and that yacht won. In the second 
division Joyette and Eel were over too soon 
and had to return. Skeezix led out to the 
mark, followed by Manchester III. and 
Crooner. Running, Skeezix retained her lead 
and she kept in front on the wind and won the 
race, with Manchester III. second and 
Crooner third. The summary:

They were sent away again over a windward 
and leeward course, with the first leg down the 
wind. The wind fell very light and slow 
progress was made. The start of the first 
division was at 2:50. and the times at the. first 
mark were: Alarm. .-i_.TO.S 7 ; Bessie. 4.12.02; 
Demon, 4.12.40; Bandit. 4 - ! 3-331 Sally X., 
4.14.15; Vim, 4.15.52; Ellen, 4.17.48; Spokane 
HI., 4.1948. 
The second division started at 3:00 and 
turned as follows: Skeezix, 4.20.02; Joyette, 
4.21.25; Wag, 4.22.50; Lady. 4.23.31: Manchester 
III., 4.24.02; Crooner, 4.24.29; Wolf, 4.25.01. 
Half way home the race was called. 
After these trials there were more elimina¬ 
tions, and Ellen, Joyette, Crooner, Wolf, Man¬ 
chester and Skeezix were the only ones left in. 
THURSDAY, AUG. If). 
When the yachts went outside the next day, 
the committee called Ellen alongside and an¬ 
nounced that Ellen had been selected, as one of 
the trio and was excused from further racing. 
This left five to struggle for the other two 
places. There was a nice sailing breeze in the 
harbor from N. N. W., but it did not reach far 
outside and soon died out, coming later S. 
by W. They were sent away over a windward 
and leeward course at 12:50. Crooner was too 
soon and had to return. Mr. Adams has a 
habit of holding the line and sometimes gets 
sent over ahead of the gun. This cost her im. 
15s. Skeezix was first away, followed by 
Joyette, Wolf and Manchester. The wind had 
shown signs of hauling when the yachts started. 
Crooner, starting last, had held on the port 
tack, and when the wind came southwest, it 
gave her a big lift, putting her in the lead. 
She turned the weather mark first with Man¬ 
chester III. second and Joyette third. Reach¬ 
ing home, Crooner held her position and 
Joyette passed Manchester. The summary:

Skeezix asked time to change her mainsail, 
and her crew did a smart piece of work making 
the change in just 15 minutes and working 
during a sharp rain squall. The second race 
was over a triangular course, the first leg be¬ 
ing southwest and to windward. They were 
sent away at 3:25. Crooner was first away, 
followed by Manchester, Joyette, Wolf_ and 
Skeezix. Joyette had the best position. 
Crooner footed fast and soon took the lead, 
and then Joyette was given more sheet and 
she began to overhaul Crooner. Manchester, 
too, did better work as the race progressed, 
and she was able to just nip Crooner at the first 
turn, being timed 5s. ahead of Crooner and 
Joyette 19s. still further astern. With balloons 
they reached to the next mark. Joyette closed 
up on Crooner and passed her just after they 
gybed at the second mark. The wind was 
freshening, and Joyette cut down Manchester’s 
lead and had the crew on that boat worried 
so that a spinnaker was set. On Joyette the 
balloon was doing good work, and she reached 
high on her course until on even terms with 
Manchester, and then setting spinnaker, was 
able to make it draw better. The yachts 
finished in a sharp squall and Joyette won the 
race, with Manchester second. Wolf beat 
Crooner out by is. The summaries:

FRIDAY, AUG. 20. 
It was another light day and smooth sea, and 
the wind constantly shifted. Windward and 
leeward was the course for the first race with 
the wind southwest. Joyette had the weather 
berth, and then came Manchester, Crooner and 
Wolf. As they started the wind showed signs 
of backing, and in spite of these indications. 
Crooner made a port tack standing west. The 
wind soon same south and then south by east 
and she lost, but the committee did not think 
that the chances of the others were seriously 
injured. If anything, Joyette was worst treated, 
but she sailed so well that she made up what¬ 
ever disadvantage she suffered and was first 
at the mark;, with Manchester second. Wolf 
third and Crooner fourth, 41s. separating first 
and last. Running down the wind, Joyette drew 
ahead and she won the race by im. 17s. from 
Wolf, which yacht had passed Manchester III.

The committee then called Joyette alongside 
and notified Mr. Mower that Joyette had been 
selected as the second boat of the. trio. _ 
A triangular race followed, and in this race 
Manchester bothered Wolf, so that Crooner had 
everything her own way. Crooner led from 
start to finish. The course was triangular, the 
first leg to windward. Wolf was first away, 
with Manchester under her lee and Crooher to 
leeward of all. Manchester tacked to get clear 
of Wolf. Crooner soon took port tack and 
crossed both Wolf and Manchester, and when 
Wolf took port tack, Manchester tacked just 
ahead of her and gave her back wind. From 
then until the weather mark was reached, Man¬ 
chester kept on, Wolf letting Crooner get 
away. The summaries:

A third race was started in a wind south by 
west, which was to have been windward and re¬ 
turn, but the wind came fresh from northwest 
and soon made it a reach. Crooner had the 
best of the change. She was the stern boat and 
got the new wind ahead of the others, and 
Wolf got it last. They were started at 3:30, 
and the times at the first mark were: Crooner, 
3.54.07; Wolf, 3.54.23; Manchester III., 3 - 54 - 5 L 
The committee called the race and started them 
again to sail to windward and leeward, but as 
soon as they were sent away the wind. fell light 
again, and it was a drifting match. They were 
sent away at 4:25, with Crooner in the leeward 
position and Manchester to windward. Man¬ 
chester held her lead until the weather mark 
was reached, when Crooner succeeded in 
pulling through her lee. The times at that 
mark were: Crooner, 5.22.00; Manchester, 
5.22.25; Wolf, 5.28.08. The committee called 
the race then, and later, after a lengthy ses¬ 
sion, selected Wolf as the third representative 
of America in the international match.

Harlem Long Distance Race. 
Ten yachts started last Saturday in the long 
distance race of the Plarlem Y. C. from City 
Island to Stratford Shoal Lightship and return. 
They started in a fresh northerly breeze, Quest 
leading, followed by Ramea, Intrepid, Crescent. 
Amorita, Bedouin,’ Naiad, Victory, Mist and 
Mopsa. Amorita and Quest were scratch boats 
and allowed time. They had a close reach to 
Stratford Shoals and a free wind home, so that 
fast time was made. Crescent was first to finish 
on Sunday morning, hut she was beaten on cor¬ 
rected time by Intrepid, Victory and Mist. The

New Orleans Noles. 
New Orleans, La., Aug. 14 .—Editor Forest 
and Stream: At a recent meeting of the New 
Orleans Motor Boat Club, Ernest Jahncke 
tendered his resignation as vice-commodore of 
the organization. Mr. Jahncke gave as his 
reason for retiring from the club, that he has 
decided to devote his entire spare time to the 
Southern Y. C. at West End. The yacht club 
will promote motor boat racing, and there is 
scarcely room for the two clubs or the neces¬ 
sity for both. Commodore Tom Sully is at 
the head of the New Orleans Motor Boat. 
Club. The first cruise of the club was held 
Saturday, Aug. 14, consisting of five boat 
parties.
