The week ended with a rattling good regatta 
sailed in a fresh and steady wind from the 
southeast. Two schooners, Tammany and 
Eclipse, and three sloops, Aspirant, Gardenia 
and Adyta, sailed out to Scotland Lightship and 
back, twenty-six miles. John Lewis sailed Tam¬ 
many and that yacht led at the lightship. The 
weather mark was passed by Eclipse on the 
run home. Eclipse could not get far enough 
ahead to save her allowance and Tammany won 
the race by 4m. 34s. In the sloop class Aspirant 
led at the weather mark. Gardenia got away 
first and for some time kept ahead of Aspirant. 
Aspirant increased her lead running home, but 
she had to allow Gardenia nearly 6m., and that 
yacht won on corrected time. 
The smaller classes raced on the Gravesend 
Bay courses and the feature of the afternoon 
was the race for the Class Q boats. There were 
six starters: W. H. Childs’ More Joy, F. T. 
Bedford’s Eleanor, F. G. Stewart’s Princess, R. 
A. Brown’s Florence, W. A. Barstow’s Soya and 
G. R. Le Sauvage’s Joy. This is the largest 
number started in this class this season, and 
there are indications that next season it will be 
more popular than ever, and that more new 
yachts will be seen. The course was to Fort 
Hamilton, Craven Shoals and then a beat to Sea 
Gate. More Joy was in fine shape and the con¬ 
ditions just suited her. She got away well, led 
at every mark and won the race from Eleanor 
by im. 15s. 
The sloops of Class S sailed very closely and 
Pester won from Gunda by 32s. Mouse, in the 
hands of Dick Moore, was a winner in her class, 
and Osiris won the race for the canoe club 
dinghies. The summaries:

Hingham Y. C. 
The 15-footers of the Hingham Y. C. sailed 
a postponed race last Saturday afternoon. It 
was won by Pirate, owned by Jerrad Blodgett. 
Henry Trainor’s Two Whoo was second, W. P. 
Karschick’s Pollywog third. Other starters fin¬ 
ished in this order: Marwindor, Mischief, 
Usona II. and Inez. 
Corinthian of Marblehead. 
A special series of three races for yachts of 
Classes M, N and P was sailed off Marblehead 
the first part of last week. These races were 
arranged by the Corinthian Y. C. It was ex¬ 
pected that Adventuress, Odysseus and others 
would race. Adventuress sailed for Newport 
the first day and Odysseus was an absentee. 
Just why Mr. Hammond does not race his 
friends cannot understand. He has a good yacht 
which should be very speedy, and a match or 
series of races with Dorello would be very in¬ 
teresting. The first day’s race was little more 
than a drifting match, and it was won by 
Dorello with Wianno second. All except Orissa 
were badly handicapped at the start. The first 
leg was down wind and Dorello took the lead 
and remained in front to the finish. The sum¬

SECOND RACE. 
The second race was sailed in a light south¬ 
erly air which held true all the afternoon. The 
course was miles. Dorello was badly pock¬ 
eted between Marie L. and Edjacko II. at the 
start and Wianno and Timandra got away well. 
The club topsail of Dorello helped her again, 
as it has in many races sailed in light airs this 
year, and she drew clear of the others, and at 
the first mark had a slight lead. Although 
Dorello finished some distance ahead of Wianno, 
she was not far enough to save her time, ancl 
Wianno won the race. The summary:

THIRD RACE. 
The third day’s racing was the best of the 
series. There was a moderate breeze from south¬ 
west by west and the course; 11% miles, was 
covered by Dorello in 2h. 2m. 6s. Dorello got 
away first, followed by Timandra, Wianno and 
Edjacko II. Dorello drew away from the others 
down the wind. Dorello, however, could not 
shake off Wianno on the wind or reaching, and 
that yacht won the race on corrected time and 
captured the series prize. The summary;

Eastern Y. C. 
Three schooners, Taormina, owned by W. S. 
Eaton; Shiyessa IV., owned by Commodore Al¬ 
fred Douglass, of the Boston Y. C., and Irolita, 
owned by Commodore E. Walter Clark, of the 
Corinthian of Philadelphia Y. C., raced off 
Marblehead last Saturday for a cup offered by 
T- E. Jacobs. They were sent over a 33^-mile 
course, starting from Half Way Rock to Boston 
Lightship, then to Eastern Y. C. turning mark 
and then to the finishing line. The first leg was 
to windward, the second a broad reach, the third 
a close reach and the fourth a run. Taormina 
got away first at 11:10 with Shiyessa on her 
weather quarter and Irolita to weather of Shi¬ 
yessa, but astern. Irolita soon had -Shiyessa 
blanketed and then Shiyessa tacked under the 
stern of Taormina. A luffing match between 
Taormina and Irolita resulted in Taormina get¬ 
ting the weather position and she turned the 
mark far in the lead. The elapsed times for 
the first leg were:

The second leg was marked by quick work 
on the part of Taormina in setting balloon jib 
topsail and main topmast staysail and slow work 
on the part of the others. Irolita caught Shi¬ 
yessa IV. at the mark and turned inside of her.

Annisquam Y. C. 
The open race of the Annisquam Y. C. was 
sailed under ideal conditions last Saturday. A 
fresh southerly wind blew at the start and it 
increased in strength toward the finish of the 
race. The sea was smooth. Alkyris won in the 
first handicap class. She finished far ahead of 
the others, beating Alice and Maud 5m. 2s., Ida 
by 6m. and Alethea by 8m. 56s., and she won

Gen. Austen Sells Ondawa. 
Gen. David E. Austen has sold his sloop 
yacht Ondawa to Edward A. Doyle, of Lynn. 
Gen. Austen returned from several weeks’ cruise 
to take part in the Brooklyn Y. C. races, and 
his sloop was sold as soon as he got back. Gen. 
Austen has owned many yachts and has always 
taken an active part in the sport. He will in 
all probability have a faster yacht for next 
season.
