Some News and a Little Gossip. 
The new schooner yacht Elena, built for 
Morton F. Plant, was tried on Narragansett 
Bay last Saturday. Under the guidance of_ de¬ 
signer Nat Herreshoff for a part of the time, 
and then by Capt. William Dennis, the yacht 
sailed from Bristol to Newport and back in light 
winds. The wind was S. E., which gave the 
yacht windward work down the bay. She 
started out with lower canvas and later set top¬ 
sails. The rigging of course stretched and had 
to be set up frequently. As she drew further 
down the bay the wind freshened, and Elena 
heeling to her lines, sailed very fast, so that ac¬ 
companying power craft had difficulty in keep¬ 
ing up with her. Off Gould Island she wore 
l. 
l. 
2 . 
round and ran for home finishing about 2 o’clock 
in the afternoon. The yacht sailed without her 
centerboard, which was hung later in the week. 
She will be ready for commission next week 
and will make New London her home port for 
the tuning up sails she will have. 
Corinthian, the Seawanhaka-Corinthian 31- 
rater built by Herreshoff, in her trial carried 
such a weather helm that changes have been 
made in her steering gear in order to give the 
helmsman better control of the boat. Sherman 
Hoyt was on board at the trial. Corinthian will 
be brought west next week, and on May 29 she 
will be on exhibition off the club house at 
Oyster Bay, when those members who have 
subscribed to the fund for the building of the 
yacht will be entertained at dinner. 
Joyant, the 31-rater for Commodore William 
H. Childs, of the Indian Harbor Y. C., will be 
ready next week. 
The two 31-raters built by Hodgdon Brothers 
at East Boothbay have been delivered to their 
owners. Italia, owned by George Lee. has been 
sailed to Marblehead and much admired there. 
She is much larger than the Class P boats of 
last season. Sayonara, built for Vernon F. 
West, of the Portland Y. C., was sailed to Port¬ 
land by her designer, George Owen. 
There will be the usual good racing on 
Buzzards Bay this summer, although two of the 
best of the Sonders have gone to Kiel. The 
others of this class and some new boats in the 
regular classes will make things lively. Be¬ 
tween the Beverly Y. C. and the Sippican Y. C., 
of Marion, fourteen championship races for 
Sonders have been arranged, of which the 
Beverly club will hold eight. The Beverly Y. 
C. will during the season have ten races, two 
sweepstakes, an open regatta, a team race, an 
obstacle race, a special race and the Van Rens¬ 
selaer cup race. In the morning of July 29 the 
annual water sports will be held off the club 
house. On Sept. 2 and 4 special races will be 
arranged for auxiliary catboats. The schedule 
is as follows: June 17, first club; June.24, sec¬ 
ond club; July 1, third club; July 3, special race; 
July 4, sweepstakes; July 8, fourth club; July 15, 
fifth club; July 22, sixth club; July 29, water 
sports in the morning and seventh club in the 
afternoon; Aug. 5, Van Rensselaer cup off 
Marion; Aug. 12, eighth club; Aug. 19, ninth 
club; Aug. 26, team and obstacle race; Sept. 2, 
sweepstakes; Sept. 4, open race; Sept. 9, tenth 
club. On June 24,, July 4, 8 and 22, Aug. 19 
and Sept. 9, the Sonder boats will race in the 
regattas of the Sippican Y. C. off Marion. All 
the races of the Beverly Y. C., except that for 
the Van Rensselaer cup, will be sailed off 
Wings Neck. 
The Corinthian Y. C., of Philadelphia, went 
in commission last Saturday. A race was sailed 
by raceabouts in the afternoon. Other races of 
a series for these boats will be sailed on May 
20, 27 and 30. June 3, 10, 17, 24 and July 1. 
Commodore E. Walter Clark has appointed 
George Herbert Millett, fleet captain and Dr. 
Robert G. LeConte fleet surgeon. 
William E. Iselin’s new schooner Enchantress 
left Boston last week for City Island, where her 
furnishings will be put on board. The yacht 
will be tuned up on the Sound under the super¬ 
vision of A. Cary Smith, of the firm of de¬ 
signers who drew the lines of the yacht. 
The Atlantic Y. C. has scheduled ten regular 
regattas for the season. In addition the club 
will give several special races throughout the 
summer, the conditions of which will be an¬ 
nounced later. As has been customary, the At-
