Atlantic Y. C. 
The Atlantic Y. C. closed its race week with 
its annual regatta which was sailed on Laboi 
Day. It was the forty-third annual event of the 
club and the yachts raced from the Lower Bay 
out to the Scotland Lightship. Some of the 
smaller classes turned at the point of the hook 
or at the South West Spit. The wind was light 
from the southwest at the start, but freshened 
as the race progressed. The larger yachts had 
to beat out to the lightship and then ran home. 
Tammany led all over the course in the schooner 
class and won handily. Phantom was the first 
home in the mixed class, but Vivian II. won the 
race on corrected time. 
Soya won the race for the Q boats with More

Midnight Yacht Race. 
Timandra, a 31-rater, designed by George 
Owen, and owned by J. B. Fallon, Jr., has won 
the Lipton cup and the championship of her 
class in Massachusetts waters this season. She 
has been bsaten at times by Marie L., an older 
boat owned by George Lee, and there has been 
considerable rivalry between these two yachts. 
On Sept. 4 both took part in a handicap race 
of the Corinthian Y. C. sailed off Marblehead. 
I'he course was 25 miles in length and took 
the yachts to Boston Light. Timandra finished 
first, but was beaten by Marie L. on handicap 
by a small margin, that yacht finishing about 
4m. after the champion 
After the owners got in the club house they 
discussed the race, and Mr. Fallon was of the 
opinion that Marie L. could not win again 
under similar conditions, while Mr. Lee was 
confident that Marie L. could win under any 
conditions. The two owners and their friends 
talked and argued all the afternoon. There was 
a dinner in the club house that evening, and 
the arguments were resumed at the dinner and 
continued later during intervals of a smoker. 
The friends of the two owners helped matters 
as far as possible, until late in the evening it 
was suggested that they should go out and race 
again. 
It had been a good racing day with a 
moderate breeze, but in the evening the wind 
had freshened and it was raining hard. It was 
cold, too. The idea of another race was no 
sooner suggested, than each owner jumped at 
the idea and agreed to start out at once. 
Preparations were made and the regatta com¬ 
mittee notified that a race was on. It was 
arranged that the two yachts should start off 
the club house between two marks shown by 
burning Coston signals. There were to be two 
guns, a preparatory and a start, as is usual, and 
the yachts were to sail around the 25-mile 
course. At the finish each owner was to take 
his own time. 
Fifteen minutes before 11 o’clock a gun 
sounded and two blazes on the water showed 
the line. The peaceful inhabitants of Marble¬ 
head, the summer colony in the cottages on the 
Neck, and those who were in the hotels were 
startled out of their sleep by the sound of a 
gun, and many thought it must be from some 
vessel in distress and many eyes peered through 
the windows out over the water, but all they 
could see through the driving storm was the 
lights of the two blazing signals. Again a gun 
sounded and the racers passed between the two 
light and were soon lost as they beat out to sea. 
Those yachtsmen who had acted as starters 
retired. 
All night long the two battled with the wind 
and seas, Timandra leading and Marie L. close 
up to the champion. They made fast time 
around the course and Timandra finished first, 
and Mr. Fallon took her time, carefully noting 
it and calling others on the yacht to check him. 
Then Timandra waited and very soon Marie L. 
sailed into the harbor, and Mr. Lee took her 
time as she crossed what he figured to be the 
finishing line. Mr. Fallon took her time also 
and then the yachtsmen turned in. 
Later they met in the Corinthian house and 
compared notes. Mr. Fallon figured that ac¬ 
cording to his time Timandra had won the 
race by about 2m., by Mr. Lee figured that 
Marie L. had won by about 50s., and so the 
arguments were resumed. The committee tried 
hard to settle the trouble, but each owner was 
confident that he was right. 
A wag had secured one of the burned signal 
cases and he hung it on the club piazza with a 
card which read, “Match Race,. Timandra vs. 
Marie L. Winner ?” 
Another race was suggested, but the con¬ 
ditions were not favorable and enthusiasm had 
died down, so the matter is unsettled still. 
Pacific Coast Yachting. 
San Francisco, Cal.—There have been very 
tew important events in local yachting circles 
since the ocean race to Santa Cruz, but a num¬ 
ber of important races will be held during the 
next two months. Many of the boats will be 
seen out next week, when there are two holi¬ 
days, Labor Day and Admission Day, and dur¬ 
ing Portola week there will be a number of 
events that had not been planned when the pro¬ 
gramme for the season was announced. Cruises 
on the bay will be special features then, for al¬ 
most every yachtsman will have visiting com¬ 
pany from out of town to entertain during the 
festival, and with such a great array of war 
vessels in the Bay all will be anxious to get out 
on the water. 
Sausalito is planning a great water carnival 
for Admission Day, in which yacht races and 
other aquatic sports will be the principal feat-' 
ures. The municipal authorities are interested 
in the day’s sports and have offered special cups 
for yachts in the 20-foot class, 30-foot class, 
36-foot class and 44-foot class, and a special 
course is being laid out so that the race can be 
witnessed to full advantage by the people or 
shore. The start of the race will be from the 
water front at Sausalito, and the boats will 
round a stakeboat at 'Hurricane Gulch, then 
around another stakeboat off Angel Island 
thence around the Presidio shoal buoy, back tc 
Angel Island and then to the point of starting 
Special prizes will be offered for the best deco 
rated yachts both in the day time and at night 
and the event promises to be one of the mosl 
elaborate ever held at Sausalito. In addition tc 
the yacht races there will be boating races 
launch races, swimming and all kinds of aquatic 
sports. 
The Hausler trophy, raced for a couple ol 
weeks ago, was won by Arthur F. Rousseau’s 
yacht Merry Widow. The course lay from the 
Alameda Mole to Hunter’s Point and return, the 
finish being off the Borax Works. Fifteen yachts 
were entered and a stiff breeze that prevailed 
all day made the race interesting. Edna finished 
second with Iola third, corrected time. 
Indian Harbor Y. C. 
The full regatta of the Indian Harbor Y. G, 
sailed on Sept. 11, was marred by light fluky 
winds. At the start the wind was north and 
the yachts were sent to Lloyds Neck first. This 
was a reach at first, but the wind went to the 
southeast and then east, making a beat. Then 
it was a drift across the sound and a run home. 
The 65-footers held close together until the last 
leg, when Aurora pulled away and won front 
Winsome by 13m. 8s. The times follow:
