Yachting Season Closing. 
The yachting season is nearly over. In three 
weeks all the important regattas will have"been 
sailed. A few of the smaller yachts will hold 
on as long as possible and will race too, but the 
larger craft will he laid up and their owner 
will begin to study the lessons taught by this 
season’s work. It has been a good season from 
every point of view. The regattas have been 
well supported by owners of racing craft and 
more yachts have taken part than ever before. 
There have been several new yachts rac : ng which 
have been more or less successful. The new 
rule has been tried and has worked well, and 
from present indications many yachtsmen are 
so well pleased with it that they will build new 
yachts for next season’s sport. They are talk¬ 
ing of their plans now. Some designers are 
already busy on the lines of new boats, and the 
yachts being planned arc mostly in the larger 
classes. 
There are still some important races to be 
sailed. At Larchmont there will be the fall re¬ 
gatta on 1 abor Day and the race for the schooner 
cup the Saturday following. The race for the 
Manhasset Bay challenge cup will be sailed this 
month, and the meeting of the two sloops, built 
specially for this contest, will be one of the 
most attractive contests of the season. Naulahka 
is a Iierreshoff boat built for a syndicate of 
members of the American Y. C., and Windward 
is a Gardner designed boat built as a defender 
of the cup for a syndicate of members of the 
Indian Harbor Y. C. Naulahka has sailed in 
many regattas and is handled by Stuyvesant 
Wainwright. Windward will be sailed by Addi¬ 
son G. Hanan, and Mr. Hanan is busy getting 
that yacht in shape now. 
There are two important races to he sailed 
down the Lower Bay. One is for the champion¬ 
ship of the bay, the prize being a handsome cup 
offered by Commodore F. M. Wilson, of the 
Crescent Athletic Club. The other is the race 
for the Childs trophy. This trophs is held by 
the Crescent Club and the Atlantic Y. C. has 
challenged. Other clubs can enter yachts, and 
it is probable that Windward, Eleanor, Florence, 
Soya, More Joy and Joy will be among the 
starters. 
Brooklyn’s Race Week. 
The Brooklyn Y. C. had a race week which 
began on Tueday, Aug. 23, and lasted until 
Saturday. Not only were some well arranged 
yacht races sailed, but entertainments were given 
in the club house each evening during the week 
which were well patronized by the club mem¬ 
bers and the visiting yachtsmen. On the first 
day there was a race for schooners which was 
won by Tammany. Commodore Towen was not 
well enough to sail his yacht and asked Gen. 
David E. Austen to take charge. Gen. Austen 
had to withdraw his own yacht Ondawa, but 
he had the satisfaction of beating Eclipse, owned 
by L. J. Ca'lanan. The schooners and sloops 
Gardenia and Adyta, were started in the morn¬ 
ing and sailed down the bay, the schooners going 
to Scotland Lightship and back, and the slooos 
turning at the Bell Buoy off the Point of the 
Hook. There was a very light air in the morn¬ 
ing, but it freshened later in the day to a moder¬ 
ate breeze from the south. Tammany and Gar¬ 
denia led in their respective classes and finished 
winners. 
In the afternoon the smaller classes were 
started over the Gravesend Bay courses. Miana 
won the race for the 31-foot class, but this was 
partly through mistakes made by the others on 
the course. Tn Class O Florence and Princess 
sailed a close race and Florence was beaten by a 
small margin. The times follow:

The second day’s sport was devoted to motor 
boat and rowing races. Ten boats were sent 
around Staten Island, starting at 11:15 o'clock. 
Royal Flush, a Jamaica Bay entrant, protested 
before the start, as a speed boat in disguise 
finished first with a long lead. She was, how¬ 
ever, beaten on time allowance by Irene II. for 
first place and Niobe for second place. 
The racers were sent off down the bay so that 
they might get the benefit of the tide over the 
greater part of the course. The tide was flood¬ 
ing at the start, and after rounding Orchard 
Shoals it favored them up Princes Bay and 
Arthur Kills. Then they caught the ebb on the 
north side of the island and carried it through 
the Kill von Kull and the Narrows. 
Royal Flush took the lead immediately after 
the start and lost her competitors in the haze 
by the time she rounded Orchard Shoals in the 
lower bay. Virginia was then the second boat 
and Irene third. That was the order held by 
the leaders throughout. Vice-Commodore Nevins 
accompanied the racers over the course in his 
fast motor yacht, Velocity. Leaving some time 
after the start he finished about half an hour 
ahead of Royal Flush. 
Niobe was protested for being under-rated. 
Unless the protests are sustained, Irene II. will 
take first prize, Niobe second prize and Royal 
Flush third prize. Two of the boats, Tuscana 
and Boffin, had not been officially measured be¬ 
fore the start. They were measured, however, 
after the finish, but the figures furnished do not 
affect the results given in the table below. 
Races for open and speed launches were sched 
uled for the afternoon, but only one eligible 
came to the line and the committee decided to 
call the_ races off. Following is the summary of 
the cruising race:

. Aspirant met Gardenia and Adyta the third 
dav of the week and the racing was fine. These 
vachts were sent over a course twenty-six miles 
in length and Aspirant’s time was 4T1. 6m. 3s. 
She had to allow lots of time to Gardenia and 
that yacht won on corrected time. These yachts 
went out to the Scotland Lightship and back in 
a light westerly wind which gave them a reach 
over the whole course. 
The smaller classes raced over the Gravesend 
Bay courses and Notos won in the 31-foot class 
from Peri IT., Miana and Vorant II. In Class 
O Princess beat Florence by 6s. Commodore 
Childs reported to the committee that More Joy 
had fouled the Cravan Shoal mark and was dis¬ 
qualified. Mouse won in the knockabout class 
and faraway heat Tautog in the dory class. The
