Childs Trophy Race. 
The Childs trophy, held by the Crescent 
.thletic Club, was sailed for last week on 
ravesend Bay. 1 he Atlantic Y. C. challenged 
,‘d named R. A. Brown’s Florence and W. A. 
irstow’s Soya. The Bensonhurst Y. C. en- 
red Commodore Childs’s More Joy and G. R. 
: Sauvage’s Joy, and the Seawanhaka Corin- 
ian Y. C. entered F. G. Stewart’s Princess. 
ie cup was defended by H. Wilmer and Addi- 
n G. Flavian’s new 31-footer Windward and 
e showed in the two trials what a wonderful 
at she is. An attempt was made to sail the 
ce on Friday, Sept. 17, but the wind was very 
ht that day. The course gave the yachts wind- 
ird work on the first leg, then a run and then 
reach. Windward sailed away from the others 
the lightest of airs and at the second mark 
vs leading by 41m. Then the wind died out 
ogether and she was becalmed when the com- 
ttee called time on the race and was then 
ly about 200 yards from the finishing line, 
vis calling time it was later found was a mis- 
ce, as the deed of gift gives five hours for 
race. 
Another attempt and a successful one was 
ide the next day and the result was very 
isfactory to all interested. The wind was 
■sh from the north and the course was to 
oy 7. then to Fort Hamilton, then to Benson- 
rst and then home off Sea Gate. The winner 
is Windward, of the Crescent A. C., and she 
s sailed by Addison G. Hanan, who had But- 
Whiting and Otto W. Heinigke on board, 
e first leg was before the wind, the second 
beat, the third a reach and the last a run. 
ndward being the largest yacht had to allow 
)re Joy, Soya and Joy 8m. 5s., Princess 8m. 
. and Florence 8m. 55s. 
They were sent away at 2 430 o’clock and were 
11 bunched as they went across the line, 
ndward had a slight lead and was followed 
Florence, Princess, More Joy, Joy and Soya, 
ey carried booms to port and balloon jibs, 
ndward at once drew ahead, while the others 
1 several close scraps for windward positions, 
I Princess and Florence had a hard luffing 
tch which put them far astern of the others.' 
len clear of Coney Island Point, spinnakers 
•e set. The times at Buoy 7 were: Wind¬ 
'd, 3.02.15; More Joy, 3.04.30; Soya, 3.05.35; 
»• 3-07-10; Florence, 3.07.40; Princess, 3.07.49. 
hey all took the starboard tack, standing in 
ard the Staten Island shore, getting the ebb 
■as much as possible. Windward drew 
idily away from More Joy and Soya held 
d place. Princess tried to pass Joy, but 
• backwinded by that boat. Twice she had 
make a.hitch out and the second time she 
id out into the channel and across almost 
^oney Island before she went about. Wind- 
d held the starboard tack until she could 
h by Buoy n, and after passing that buoy, 
1 on until she could fetch the Fort Hamil- 
mark. She gave a wonderful exhibition of 
mg and. steadily drew from the others, point- 
■\ery high and sailing fast. She turned the 
t Hamilton mark at 4-14-txx More Joy 
''jd at 4-32.20 and Princess, which had bene- 
d by her tack across the channel, at 4.37.15. 
y had a reach with booms to starboard to 
sonhnrst and then set spinnakers for home, 
idward finished at 4.30.26 and at that time 
"1! J°y had not reached the Fort Hamilton

ie Atlantic Y. C. closed its season with a 
;tta 'or all classes and Horace E. Boucher 
now have time to rest. The races were 
d over the usual courses, the Q boats going 
uoy No 7 an( j jr 0 rt Hamilton and the others 
s ^ orl course. 1 he wind was fresh 
a by east. More Joy, which was racing for 
the Childs trophy, finished first of the Q divis¬ 
ion and so Commodore Childs was recompensed 
in some degree for the loss of his challenge 
cup. Mi an a won the race for the first division 
of the handicap class and in the second division 
Mischief had a sailover. In Class S Pester won 
handily, with Gunda second. Mouse, which 
sailed in the colors of Bartow S. Weeks, won 
in the knockabout class, and Little Devil’ won 
the race for the dinghies. The summaries:

Massachusetts Championships. 
A- T' Bliss, secretary of the Yacht Racing 
Association of Massachusetts, has figured the 
standing of the yachts in the different classes 
for which championship pennants are offered, 
and, as usual, is the first to announce the 
winner,s. These figures, however, are subject 
to correction, because some of the committees 
of the yacht clubs have not yet sent to him 
their official reports of their races, and some 
changes are possible through actions on pro¬ 
tests, etc. 
In the 31 -rating class there- is a strange con¬ 
dition of affairs. According to Mr. Bliss, 
Wianno and Timandra are the only two in this 
class that were officially measured, and through 
neglecting to file official measurement certifi¬ 
cates, Onda II., Essex, Marie L., Little Rhodv, 
Nutmeg, Alpha and Tabasco II. are not con¬ 
sidered in figuring the championships. Onda 
II.. Marie L. and Alpha carried official num¬ 
bers m their races, and it was generally sup¬ 
posed that they had been measured. Had they 
been properly measured and their certificates 
filed, Onda II. would have won the champion¬ 
ship. As she was out of the racing, the cham- 
pionship goes to Winona, that yacht beating 
Timandra by 50 points, or 1.03 per cent. 
There were twelve that raced in class D of 
Cape Cod catboats, and the championship was 
won by Iris, owned by Frank D. Crane. Kitty- 
wake won the championship for the 18 -foot 
knockabouts from a class of thirteen, and 
Aurora was second. Raggylug won the cham¬ 
pionship for the dories with a record of 587.5 
points out of a possible 600 . There were eleven 
starters in this class. The championship of the 
15 -footers class was won by R. R. Smith’s 
Teazer II. Four yachts raced. The records

Manhasset Bay Y. C. 
The last open race of the season on the 
bound was sailed last Saturday. Sixty-one 
yachts started in the fall regatta of the Man¬ 
hasset Bay Y. C., and all except two of these 
finished. Fearless, owned by B. R. Stoddard, 
lost her mast on the windward leg of 
course. The wind was fresh from 
west and finishes were very close, in many of 
the classes seconds only separating the leading 
yachts. The start was made off Execution 
Light and the racers went to Parsonage Point 
and Matmmcock Point. The first leg was 
windward work and the other two were reaches. 
The Jewel S. and Manhasset Bay one-design 
boats sailed their last race of a series of three, 
and the special cup was won by J. W. Alker’s 
Althea, representing the Manhasset Bay Y. C., 
with a score of 28 points. The points scored 
by the other Manhasset Bay yachts were: 
Kit 16,. Scylla 14, Ardette 13, Manhaska 5. 
Ihe points scored by the Jewel S. or Glen 
Cove boats were: Sapphire 19, Emerald 
Moonstone 18, Garnet 18, Aquamarine 14 
Seven _ of the New York Y. C.’s thirties 
started, including E. D. Morgan’s Gossip, which 
put m an appearance for the first time this 
season on the Sound. The winner in the class 
was Nepsi, owned and sailed by Johnston de 
Forest. She won by 45s. from Atair. Another 
close race was that between the Q boats 1 In¬ 
trepid and Eleanor. The former, which is 
owned by George P. Granberry, won from her 
rival by just 44 s - after sailing the iop2 miles 
Cricket won from Jolly Tar in the American Y. 
C. s raceabout class by 59s. and Crescent de¬
