FOREST AND STREAM. 
743 
ran has been to Bristol and/ male arrangements 
with Capt. Nat Herreshoff to have the yacht 
put in the best possible condition, and there 
some slight alterations in rig will be made to 
make her conform to the rule of measurement. 
This is good news to yachtsmen and will mean 
that there will be some fine schooner racing in 
these waters later in the season. Westward, 
Elena and Irolita will meet in the regular class 
B, and in such events as the Astor and King’s 
cups there will also be Karina, Enchantress and 
Atlantic. 
The 31-raters built at Herreshoffs for racing 
on the Sound are ready for delivery and will 
leave Bristol next week. The boat for the 
syndicate of the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Y. C. 
has been named Corinthian, and will be sailed 
by Sherman Hoyt, Clinton H. Crane and Johns¬ 
ton de Forest, three of the best sailors of small 
boats in these waters. Corinthian is 55 feet 
over all, 33 feet 2 inches on the waterline, 8 
feet 4 inches beam and 6 feet 2 inches draft. 
She spreads 1,400 square feet of canvas. This 
boat was launched last week and has been tried. 
The second boat is Joyant, built for Commo¬ 
dore William H. Childs, of the Indian Harbor 
Y. C. She is somewhat of an experiment in 
model and differs much from Corinthian. Her 
dimensions are 59 feet over all, 34 feet 5 inches" 
on the waterline, 9 feet 10 inches beam and 7 
feet draft. She spreads about 1,500 square feet 
of sail. Addison G. Hanan is to sail this yacht 
in her more important races. 
Both of the boats are painted white above the 
waterlines, are exceptional looking craft as to 
elements of speed and power, have slender ends, 
finely drawn sheers and the larger of the parr 
will swing at the least 100 square feet more 
canvas than Corinthian. The freeboards are not 
of a character to raise any adverse comment, 
for Designer Herreshoff struck a happy medium 
in giving the body sufficient height above the 
waterline to compare easily with the length ot 
hull and height of spar. The pole masts are 
lofty, making way for a tall hoist, while the 
hatch coamings on the deck are stamped down 
to the point of giving assurance that all com¬ 
forts for the crew on deck are sacrificed to the 
object of carrying canvas. 
George Lee’s new 31-rater, which is to come 
around the Cape, representing the Boston Y. C. 
in the race for the Manhasset Bay challenge 
cup, left Hodgdon’s yard at Boothbay last 
Saturday for Marblehead. Mr. Lee and some 
friends sailed the yacht around. This boat has 
been named Italia. 
The Fall River Y. C. has announced its

The New Rochelle Y. C. went into commis¬ 
sion last Saturday afternoon. Commodore C. 
E. Myrick gave the signal to hoist the club 
burgee at 4 o’clock, and it was saluted by about 
twenty yachts anchored in the harbor. This 
club is always the first in commission on the 
Sound. The Harlem Y. C. went in commis¬ 
sion at City Island just an hour later than the 
New Rochelle Club. 
The regatta committee of the Boston Y. C. 
has announced its season’s schedule. Six open 
races and two club events will be given by the 
club this coming summer, and are scheduled as 
follows: Saturday, June 3, Y. R. A., open, City 
Point; Saturday, June 17, Y. R. A., open, Hull; 
Tuesday, July 4, club, Marblehead; Tuesday.

Aug. 25; Tuesday, Aug. 29, and Wednesday, 
Aug. 30, midsummer series, Y. R. A., open,

club will give six races for the championship 
of the Atlantic seaboard for catboats, off Hull, 
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 31, Sept. 
1 and Sept. 2. 
In addition to regular schedule, the club will 
start the sailing yacht race to Bermuda., for a 
$500 trophy, offered by the city of Boston, 
Saturday, June 3. 
The club also has challenged for the Quincy 
cup held by the Quincy Y. C. and the Manhasset 
Bay challenge cup held by the American Y. C. 
of Rye, N. Y.. The club’s representative in the 
Quincy cup match will be Charles P. Curtis, 
Jr.’s new Sonder racer Ellen II., recently com¬ 
pleted at Burgess’, Marblehead. George Lee’s 
new 31-rater Italia will be challenger for the 
Manhasset Bay cup. 
For the championship prizes a yacht must 
sail in seven of the eight scheduled regattas, 
except in the case of the Hull one-design 15- 
footers, which need enter only the five races at 
Hull. 
The cruise will start from Marblehead late 
Saturday afternoon, July 15. The yachts will 
have all day Sunday and Monday to reach 
Boothbay, as the fleet will not proceed from 
that port to the eastward until Tuesday, July 18. 
The daily runs from Boothbay have not been 
decided upon, but the cruise will probably ex¬ 
tend to either Bar Harbor or Winter Harbor, 
and will take the yachts through Musselridge 
channel and Fox Island thoroughfare. The runs 
will be short and the destination will be 
signalled from the flagship each day. 
Narragansett Bay Schedule. 
The Narragansett Bay Yacht Racing Asso¬ 
ciation has rearranged its schedule because of 
some conflicting dates. The King Philip Boat 
Club has been dropped. The particular re¬ 
arrangement was for race week, which will be¬ 
gin with the Edgewood Y. C. on Aug. 5. There 
will be a regatta for all classes with cash prizes. 
The club will entertain visiting yachtsmen over 
Sunday, Aug. 6, and on Monday all classes will 
start off the Edgewood Y. C. and race to the 
Conanicut Y. C. Regattas will follow at New¬ 
port, Fall River, Potter’s Cove and Bristol.

Stream: The Pacific Interclub Yachting Asso¬

represented at this meeting were the Corinthian, 
the Aeolian, the San Francisco and the Cali¬ 
fornia clubs. Two others, the Sequoia Y. C., of 
Eureka, and the Vallejo' Y. C., of Vallejo, were 
expected to send delegates, but these did not 
make their appearance. The officers elected 
were as follows: President, G. B. Dinsmore, 
San Francisco Y. C.; Vice-President, A. R. F. 
Brandes, California Y. C.; Secretary, Ross 
Wright, Corinthian Y. C.; Treasurer, Gus Dorn,

cisco Y. C.; L. C. Knight, Aeolian Y. C.; Ross

The Sausalito Y. C., formed a year ago, held 
its annual meeting recently and elected officers

W. S. Reeves; Commodore, A 1 Reubold; Vice- 
Commodore, R. H. Glissman; Port Captain, W. 
H. James; Measurer, H. P. Maas. The report 
of the retiring officers indicated that the club 
was in a splendid condition financially, and that 
its membership was rapidly increasing. Last 
fall it was proposed to erect a club house at an 
early date, and a site was secured north of the 
Sausalito pier at Sausalito, but this has since 
been disposed of and another location is being 
sought. Last year an ark was used as head¬ 
quarters, and this will probably serve the mem¬ 
bers again this season. A sailing program for 
the season has been decided upon as follows: 
May 6, opening day; May 7, cruise in squadron; 
May 21, club cruise and clambake; May 27, 28,
