National Y. C. 
The first regatta of the National Y. C., the 
successor of the old and better known Brook¬ 
lyn Y. C., was sailed on Decoration Day. 
1 wenty-six sail yachts took part. There was a 
fresh southeasterly wind, and course No. 16, 
which sent them to Craven Shoal and Ambrose’ 
Channel Buoy 11, was selected by the commit¬ 
tee. This is one of the new courses, and it gave 
great satisfaction, as the racers had a long 
windward leg. Three started in Class Q, and 
Alice, the new Gardner boat, built for Ghe’rardi 
Davis, won with F. F. Luckenback’s Mower- 
designed Suelew second. Alice showed up re¬ 
markably well, and Suelew also did some good 
sailing. When she is in good trim she will 
hold her own with the best of the fleet. 
In Class S, Dr. Atkinson’s Gardner-built 
Cyric easily defeated Wink, a Herreshoff boat. 
In 10.5 miles Cyric won by 6m. 38s. 
Three sloops in Class M, Gardenia, Margaret 
and Adyta, sailed a course that took them to the 
southwest spit buoy No. 5 off the point of the 
Hook and home again. Gardenia found another 
soft spot and her victory will help bolster up her 
record at the end of the season. In the handi¬ 
cap class Joy had to be content with second 
place. 
In the knockabout class there were three dis¬ 
qualifications for fouls. The race was won by 
F. L. Billingham’s Skylark, with R. B. Moore’s 
Scud second. Just how it happened no one is 
able to figure out, but Skylark managed to get 
home ahead of the crack skipper of the Lower 
Bay by 10s. The New York C. C.’s dinghies 
race again was won by the Arie, with Vivi, Com¬ 
modore AUerton’s boat, second. The

Knickerbocker Y. C. 
The annual regatta of the Knickerbocker Y 
L. was sailed on the Sound last Saturday in a 
very light flukey wind. It was a disappointing 
day and the wind came east, then south and 
later northwest Fifty yachts started and the 
feature was the defeat of Joyant by Corinthian. 
I he Seawanhaka yacht footed quite last in the 
paltry winds and was more than 10m. in the 
lead at the finish. The yachts were started off

Harlem Y. C. 
The racing season on the Sound was opened 
on Decoration Day with the annual regatta of 
the Harlem Y. C. Fifty-four yachts started 
from a line off the black buoy to the northward 
and eastward of Execution Rock and sailed over 
triangular courses varying from 6 to 11 miles. 
The wind was light from southeast and the first 
leg of each course was to windward. Several 
new boats took part in the racing. One very 
attractive little craft was named Vodka and has 
been built from designs by William Gardner for 
a Russian yachtsman. She sailed against the 
Manhasset Bay one-desig;n class and defeated 
Scylla 6m. 20s. It is a pity this boat is going 
abroad, as she would do well against the new 
Cyric of the Lower Bay fleet. 
A new class, called the Star Class, sailed its 
first race. These boats have been built for 
members of the American Y. C. The race was 
won by George A. Corry’s Little Dipper. J. 
A. Crowley’s Ediana, a new boat, was the win¬ 
ner in Class P. The fininshing times of each

Bensonhurst Y. C. 
In the opening regatta of the Bensonhurst Y. 
C., sailed on the Lower Bay last Saturday, 
Alice, a new yacht owned by Gherardi Davis, 
won her first race. She sailed in the Q class 
and did well, although her victory was more 
due to good luck and some judgment on the 
part of her skipper than fast sailing. They went 
twice around a course, which gave them a reach, 
then a run, then a broad reach and then wind¬ 
ward work. Running, Alice proved very fast 
in the light air. On the second round Spider 
took the lead at the leeward mark and held it 
until she hauled her wind. Then Grayjacket 
closed with her and just managed to turn the 
next mark with a slight lead. Spider was on 
the weather quarter of Grayjacket and the two 
indulged in a luffing match on the short reach 
to the finish. Alice was third boat at the end of 
the windward work, and Mr. Davis, sailing a 
straight line for home just managed to take 
the victory from Grayjacket by 22s. The five 
finished within im. 4s. Soya was last, but she 
almost caught the others by standing across the 
channel and getting the best of the ebb tide. 
Had she held on a few minutes longer, she 
would have won the race. 
Wink won her first race in the S class, de¬ 
feating Cyric very easily. She is evidently a 
light weather boat. The wind was east all the 
afternoon. Careless won the handicap class by

Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. 
The two new Herreshoff-built 31-raters Joy¬ 
ant, owned by Commodore W. H. Childs, and 
Corinthian, owned by a syndicate of Seawan- 
liaka Club members, met in their first race on 
the Sound of Oyster Bay on Decoration Day. 
they sailed a triangular course 10^ miles in 
length in a moderate southeasterly wind, and 
Joyant won. It was very close between the 
two boats all ov£r the course, and at the end 
Joyant finished im. 12s. in the lead. In the class 
for 30-footers Nepsi won again with 
second, and Thelema won the xi 
footers. The times were:

Boston Y. C. 
Two of the 31 raters took part in the regatta 
of the Boston Y. C. on June 3. Amoret, cham¬ 
pion of last season, defeated Talia, the new boat 
owned by George Lee. The wind was from the 
southwest strong and puffy and several of the 
yachts put in reefs. Horald Wheelock had 
Amoret in the better position at the start and 
he increased his lead, finally winning by 45s. H. 
S. Bloomfield’s Moslem II., won the race for 18-
