Indian Harbor Y. C.. race to New London. 
racing for their owners to find out their peculi¬ 
arities. In Eastern waters George Lee’s new 31- 
rater Italia has twice been beaten by Amoret, 
champion of last season. Each race was won by 
a stria '1 margin. One was in light weather and 
the other in fresh winds. 
On the Lower Bay the Q boats Alice and 
Suelew have raced. Twice Grayjacket defeated 
the new boats and once Alice finished first, but 
her victory was somewhat of a fluke. The new 
boats, however, are not at their best yet, and 
when properly tuned up will defeat the older 
craft in almost any kind of going. 
In the S class, Wind and Cvric have met three 
times. They are much faster than the older 
boats, and in the three races Cyric won when 
the wind was steady and moderate, and Wind 
scored one victory when the wind was light. It 
would seem to indicate that Cyric likes a good 
breeze and Wink is at her best in moderate airs. 
On the Sound, Joyant and Corinthian have met 
twice and each has scored a victory. Joyant won 
at Oyster Bay in a steady wind and Corinthian 
won in the Knickerbocker regatta. -The wind 
was fitful and changeable and her victory was 
partly due to an error on the part of Mr. 
Hanan on the Joyant who mistook the course 
and lost some minutes at the start. 
Some News and a Little Gossip. 
There is a possibility of G. Cecil Wfiitaker 
bringing his new Fife designed schooner Water- 
witch to this side of the Atlantic to race against 
Westward, Elena and other vessels. When it 
was announced that Westward would not race 
this season on the other side, Forest and Stream 
suggested that the New York Y. C. should in¬ 
vite Mr. Whitaker to bring his yacht to these 
waters and sail against Elena. It was pointed 
out that several American yachts have helped to 
make the British seasons successful, and that it 
was time some British yachtsman visited these 
waters. 
Waterwitch was built to race against West¬ 
ward, and with that yacht out of the way there 
would be little good sport for her owner. Mr. 
Whitaker was very much disappointed when he 
learned that Westward was ordered back to 
these waters. The New York Y. C. officers have 
invited Mr. Whitaker to bring his yacht here 
and take part in the club races and in such 
other events as can be arranged. 
Last week a cablegram was received from Mr. 
Whitaker asking how much racing he could be 
assured if he crossed the Atlantic, and in a 
reply sent at once he was told that he could 
have racing every day except Sunday. Yachts¬ 
men hope that Mr. Whitaker will bring his yacht 
here. Every club of standing on the Atlantic 
coast would offer cups for races between Water- 
witch, Westward, Elena, Irolita and other boats, 
and such racing would be the best that has been 
witnessed in these or any other waters for many 
years. Mr. Whitaker’s answer is now awaited 
with much interest. 
The Stamford Y. C. opened its season on 
Decoration Day with a race for its one-design 
class. There are ten of these boats in the club 
and nine started in the opening race which was 
won by T. Dominick’s Curlew. The regatta com¬ 
mittee, Bartholomew Jacob, Douglas L. Elliman, 
Wm. W. Heroy, Theodore R. Hoyt and Walton 
Ferguson, has arranged a very long schedule of 
races for the season which is as follows: 
June 3—One-design class for owners’ cup. 
June 10—First series race, one-design class, 
Barlow cup. 
June 17—Second series race one-design class, 
Corning cup motor boat races. 
June 24—One-design class at Seawanhaka an¬ 
nual. 
July 1—Third race one-design class, Dominick 
cup. 
July 4—First round tournament race; motor 
boat handicap. 
July 8—Fourth race one-design class, Elliman 
cup. 
July 15-22—One-design class, Larchmont. 
July 29—Ladies’ race, one-design class. 
Aug. 5—Fifth race one-design class, Fleitman 
cup. 
Aug. 12—Second round tournament race, one- 
design. 
Aug. 19—Annual regatta. 
Aug. 26—Sixth race one-design class, Gilles¬ 
pie cup. 
Sept. 2—Seventh race, one-design class, Jacob 
cup; motor boats. 
Sept. 4—Eighth race one-design class, Kingan 
cup. 
Sept. 9—Ninth race one-design class, Ray¬ 
mond cup. 
Sept. 16—Tenth race one-design class, Weber 
cup. 
In the one-design races of the series points 
will be credited each yacht for the championship 
and the series prize. The championship cup is 
presented by Commodore Weber and the series 
cup by R. W. James Kingan. The prize for the 
tournament race is offered by Mr. Kingan. 
There are two courses over which these yachts 
sail. The start is off the club house, and the 
length of each course is about six miles. The 
boats are able craft of one-design and governed 
by a set of rules which make the racing very fair 
for each competitor. They may be hauled out 
once in three weeks and only two suits of sails 
are allowed in a season. 
The new boats are being tuned up. Some 
have taken part in races and have shown well; 
others are not yet in shape and will need more 
With thirty charter members owning power 
boats and fast sailing craft, the new Sandy 
Hook Bay Y. C. went into commission on 
Decoration Day at Atlantic Highlands, N. J., 
with a bright outlook for a season of interesting 
racing on Sandy Hook Bay. 
The former club station of the New York Y. 
C., conveniently located on the end of a long 
pier, with a good depth of water about it at 
all times, was purchased and renovated by the 
new organization. Here every convenience may 
be found, not only for members, but for yacht¬ 
ing visitors who may “put in” at Atlantic High¬ 
lands during the summer. Parties who may 
drop anchor off the club house, intending to pro¬ 
ceed by train down the Jersey Coast, will find 
the club house float a great convenience—only 
a step from the train shed. 
The officers of the thriving young club are: 
Commodore, H. Taylor Sherman, of Rooksie; 
Vice-Commodore, William B. Smith, of Evo¬ 
lution; Rear-Commodore. Frank L. Bailey, of 
Kahkin II.; Treasurer, W. H. Posten, of Er- 
minie II., and Secretary, William Friedlander, 
of Wanderer. 
It is the purpose of the Sandy Hook Bay Y. 
C. to promote class racing in waters which are 
admirably suited for it. In addition to these 
contests, there will be ocean races with the Am¬ 
brose Channel and Scotland lightships as the 
outer marks. 
The regular meeting of the Sea Cliff Y. C. 
was held at the club house at Sea Cliff, L. I., 
on June 1. The following officers were elected 
for the coming year: Commodore, F. W. 
Sheridan; Vice-Commodore, D. G. Evans; Sec¬ 
retary, Edward J. Hogan; Treasurer, Charles E. 
Robinson; Trustees to act for one year—Arthur 
Joel, W. S. Porter, Hon. Oscar Schultz, Henry 
A. VanDyne, Frank J. Ruhlman and Harry 
Stevenson. The club house was formally opened 
with a reception and dance on last Saturday 
night. 
On Memorial Day the twenty-third season of 
the Riverside Y. C., of Riverside, Conn., was 
formally opened. At 12 o’clock, on the signal 
of one gun, the flag at the club house was mast¬ 
headed, and at 12:15 there was a reception to 
club members and their friends. 
Commodore C. T. Pierce has appointed 
Arthur Winslow Cabot, of Stamford Fleet 
Captain. 
This is one of the oldest clubs on the Sound. 
It numbers among its members E. C. Benedict, 
W. J. B. Mills, Lemuel C. Benedict and George 
A. Hurty, all members of the New York Stock 
Exchange; J. Kennedy Tod, H. T. Hand, R. A. 
Gillespie, C. A. Hatch, C. H. Cairns all con¬ 
nected with stock exchange firms; I. M. Shaw, 
president of the Chelsea Exchange Bank; F. C. 
Mills, with the Union Square Savings Bank; 
W. L. Edwards and C. E. Peck, with the Na¬ 
tional City Bank; John S. Montgomery, No. 2- 
Wall street; W. W. Shaw, No. 2 Rector street; 
T. A. Liebler, theatrical manager, and numer¬ 
ous well known yachtsmen with winning boats. 
A small yacht, built for the six-meter (19.7 
feet) class, was launched from Wood & Mc¬ 
Clure’s yard at City Island last week. This boat 
is for a St. Petersburg yachtsman and will take 
part in some of the important European re¬ 
gattas. The yacht was built from designs by 
William Gardner and is named Vodka. She 
sailed in the regatta of the Harlem Y. C. on 
Decoration Day and proved to be very fast de¬ 
feating easily the boats of the Manhasset Bay 
one-design class. 
Irex to Go to Eastern Waters. 
Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., of New York city, has 
sold through the agency of John G. Alden, of 
Boston, the 39-foot waterline sloop Irex to Wil¬ 
liam S. Kinney, of Boston. Irex will shortly 
start around the cape and will be raced by her 
owner in Massachusetts Bay. Irex is 53 feet 
over all, 13 feet 9 inches beam, 6 feet 6 inches 
draft and was designed by T. L. Ferris in 1898-
